About
Each month, split your money equally between the two big-tech stocks that gained the most over the past month from: META, AMZN, AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, PYPL, ADBE, NVDA. Rebalance monthly; concentrated, momentum-driven exposure to mega-cap tech.
The strategy looks only at eight familiar big-tech names: Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Amazon (online retail/cloud), Apple (iPhone), Microsoft (Windows/Office/Azure), Google/Alphabet (Search/YouTube), PayPal (digital payments), Adobe (creative software), and Nvidia (AI chips). Each month, it checks which two rose the most over the last ~20 trading days and splits the money 50/50 between them. Next month, it repeats and switches if the leaders change. It’s a simple “buy recent winners” approach within big tech.
Out-of-sample edge: ~29% annualized return vs ~14% for the S&P, with a higher Sharpe (~0.90 vs ~0.82) and strong mega-cap tech momentum. Simple 2-stock monthly rotation. Be aware of larger drawdowns (~55%) and beta (~1.48).
