About
A tactical, rules-based switcher: fade “too hot” markets with UVXY, buy 3x tech/semis/S&P on “too cold,” and otherwise choose risk-on tech/energy or a defensive volatility/market‑neutral mix, with a bond‑vs‑dollar side toggle.
Every day it asks 3 things:
1) Is the stock market “red hot” short-term? If many market/sector funds look stretched up or Nasdaq just had a big up day, it buys UVXY (a fund that jumps when fear spikes) for a quick pullback bet.
2) Is the market “washed out”? If tech/semis/S&P look very sold off short-term, it buys 3x bull funds (TECL, SOXL, or SPXL) for a rebound.
3) If neither, it checks the 6‑month trend: if risk-on (S&P beats Utilities), it mainly holds 3x Tech (TECL), sometimes switching to 2x Energy (ERX) when commodities lead; if risk-off, it moves to a defensive mix of volatility funds (VIXM/UVXY/SVXY) plus a market‑neutral hedge (BTAL). At times, if long bonds look weak, it toggles between 3x long Treasuries (TMF) and a long‑U.S.-dollar fund (USDU).
Dynamic, rules-based strategy delivering outsized out-of-sample upside: ~69.6% annualized vs S&P ~22.4%, via agile tech/energy bets and volatility hedges. Higher upside with risk controls, though drawdowns can be larger in tough markets.
