About
A fast-moving strategy that shifts among stocks, gold, bonds, cash, and bearish Nasdaq bets based on whether markets look overheated, oversold, rising, or falling.
This strategy splits money into two parts: 70% in a main tactical engine and 30% in side bets on emerging markets and long-term Treasury bonds.
The main engine constantly asks: are stock markets too hot, too weak, or in a healthy uptrend? If markets look overheated, it moves partly to cash-like Treasury bills and partly to a fund that profits if the Nasdaq falls. If the market has been strong but not extreme, it may hold gold. If the Nasdaq has dropped hard, it tries to buy the dip. In stronger markets, it owns a small basket of steadier winning companies like Apple, Costco, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Coca-Cola Consolidated. In weaker markets, it often shifts to bonds, cash, or funds that rise when the Nasdaq falls.
The 30% side sleeve separately trades emerging-market stocks and long-term US Treasury bonds, switching between owning them, betting against them, or sitting in cash-like Treasury bills depending on trend and market stress signals.
Out-of-sample edge: higher risk-adjusted returns with far smaller drawdowns vs the S&P 500. OOS return 27.1% vs 17.2%, Sharpe 1.63 vs 1.06, max DD 7.5% vs 18.8%, beta ~0.32. More upside, less risk.
