About
Weekly momentum in big tech: among Apple, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, and Adobe, buy the two with the strongest 1-week gains and split 50/50. Rebalance weekly.
Each week the strategy looks at eight large U.S. tech names—Apple, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Meta (Facebook), Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, and Adobe. It checks which two had the biggest price gains over roughly the last week, then puts all the money into those two, split 50/50. Next week it repeats the check and switches if the leaders change. It’s a simple “recent winners keep winning” approach focused only on big tech.
Big-tech momentum: weekly, 2-leader bets with rebalancing. Out-of-sample stats beat the S&P on risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ~1.43 vs ~1.40) and alpha, with ~52% annualized return vs ~23% for the S&P—at the cost of higher drawdown (~34%).
