About
A fast-moving, high-risk strategy that shifts between aggressive growth bets, market-crash hedges, and safer parking spots based on whether stocks look strong, overheated, or unstable.
This strategy constantly asks: “Is the market too hot, healthy, shaky, or falling?”
If stocks look overheated, it can move into fear-related funds that usually rise when markets panic, or into very short-term Treasury bills (BIL).
If conditions look better, it rotates into the strongest areas such as tech, semiconductors, financials, or a basket of strong companies like Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Costco, GE, and Progressive.
It also compares recent pullbacks across many aggressive funds and picks the ones holding up best. When stock signals weaken, it can hide in cash-like T-bills or diversifiers like KMLM.
Out-of-sample, this strategy targets higher growth (≈30.6% annualized vs ≈21.7% for the S&P 500) through dynamic hedging and regime-shifting across markets. Expect bigger drawdowns (~35.7% vs ~8.9%), so best for risk-tolerant investors seeking outsized upside.
