About
An aggressive market-timing strategy that usually mixes leveraged tech, banks, and bonds, but after sharp Nasdaq drops it buys the dip with TQQQ and shifts toward gold, dollars, bonds, or volatility when stress rises.
This strategy is usually in a fast-moving mix of 3 areas: big tech (TQQQ), financial stocks (FAS), and long-term US bonds (TMF). It gives more money to whichever of those has been moving more calmly lately.
If the Nasdaq 100 falls more than 5% in 5 days, it switches into “buy the dip” mode and simply buys TQQQ, a very aggressive fund that tries to deliver 3x the daily move of the Nasdaq 100. Once a strong rebound happens, it goes back to the normal mix.
If markets look stressed, it can move into a defensive basket that may include gold (GLD), the US dollar (UUP), long bonds (TMF), and sometimes a volatility fund (UVXY).
Out-of-sample annualized return ~26.9% vs S&P 20.1%, driven by dip-buying Nasdaq risk-on signals and dynamic hedges (gold, dollar, bonds). Higher upside potential with diversified defense, though drawdowns can be larger.
