About
A weekly, rules‑based portfolio that rides strong, high‑quality stocks (and Eli Lilly) when conditions look healthy, but shifts to hedges—short S&P 500, Treasuries, or volatility—when the market looks overheated or drops sharply.
Weekly check.
- About 70%: own the fastest‑rising name from a shortlist of strong stocks/ETFs—unless the S&P 500 looks overheated (then short it) or there’s a sudden drop (then use volatility or Treasuries).
- About 30%: own Eli Lilly unless it looks overheated; same safety switches.
Weekly rule-based momentum with hedges aims for higher out-of-sample returns vs SPY: OOS ~26.9% annualized (vs SPY ~23%), Calmar ~0.78, hedging to tame shocks. Note: OOS max drawdown ~34.7% vs SPY ~18.8%.
