Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 July 2025

July 1, 2025 By Lowell Herr 1 Comment

While the Millikan portfolio is dated July 1, the information is primarily June data.  The Millikan portfolio is narrowly focused on four Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  As readers will see in a moment, I am deviating from the basic asset allocation recommendations as we have yet to see the impact of proposed tariffs and the […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 27 May 2025

May 27, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

On again, off again tariff threats are constantly roiling the stock and bond markets.  This morning the direction happens to be to the upside.  When in a dark room filled with furniture – stand still.  That is the attitude businesses have as it is most difficult to plan for the future when uncertainty abounds.  One […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 1 May 2025

May 1, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Headline news this morning – “Trump’s tariffs have left businesses in a ‘state of near paralysis’.” Advanced planning is nearly impossible do to an erratic administration that is in the hands of one person.  A person who was not even able to make casinos a success. Based on a rough economic market ahead I have […]

Millikan Portfolio Review: 20 March 2025

March 20, 2025 By Lowell Herr Leave a Comment

Investors with minimum available time for portfolio management will find the Millikan, as well as several other ITA portfolios, of interest when saving for retirement.  This portfolio focuses on four ETFs.  VOO is our standard ETF to track the S&P 500.  SCHG is to add some growth punch while SCHD throws off dividends.  These dividends […]

Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Review: 18 February 2025

February 18, 2025 By Lowell Herr

Millikan is the asset allocation portfolio scheduled for review this morning.  This is a simplified version of other asset allocation portfolios in that the Millikan is using only six ETFs.  With the Millikan there is less emphasis on equities.  Bonds and treasuries make up a higher percentage of this portfolio, thus reducing the beta.  The […]

Millikan Asset Allocation Portfolio Update: 5 February 2025

February 5, 2025 By Lowell Herr

The Millikan portfolio is the other Sector BPI portfolio I am switching to a simplified asset allocation investment model.  It will likely take a few more reviews before the portfolio is in balance. The current beta is 0.71.  When in total balance the beta should drop below 0.5 indicating it is a very conservative portfolio. […]

Millikan Sector BPI Portfolio Review: 27 December 2024

December 27, 2024 By Lowell Herr

We are fast closing out 2024.  The year is ending in a whimper as the Santa Claus rally did not materialize.  At least not for the ITA portfolios. The Millikan is one Sector BPI portfolio to watch as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) nearly matches the SPY benchmark IRR.  The Millikan currently holds three […]
