About
A daily, rules‑based portfolio that buys growth (QQQ, EM) in uptrends and after sharp dips, but quickly shifts to defensive sectors, T‑Bills/Treasuries, gold, or mild shorts when markets get hot or fall. EM exposure is “delevered” and toggled by cross‑asset strength.
What it does, in plain English:
- Split in two: ~40% times US tech (QQQ); ~60% flips EM stocks (EEM) on/off.
- Two simple tools drive it: (1) a “heat meter” (RSI 0–100). Very hot (>~80) → take chips off/hedge; very cold (<~30) → buy dips. (2) A trend line (moving average). Above it = uptrend; below = protect.
- In uptrends it holds QQQ/tech. If weak or overheated, it rotates to staples/utilities (XLP/XLU), gold (GLD), Treasuries (TLT), T‑Bills (SHV/BIL), or mild shorts (PSQ/SH/QID). EM sleeve uses the same ideas plus bond‑vs‑stock strength (IGIB, IEI/IEF, IWM, DBE, DLN) to choose EEM or EUM.
Two-sleeve, rules-based strategy shows better out-of-sample risk-adjusted results: Sharpe 2.23 vs 2.12; drawdown 3.56% vs 5.07%; beta ~0.45; positive alpha; Calmar ~4.78. Combines growth/EM with risk controls to beat the S&P on risk-adjusted terms.
