About
A daily-updating, highly focused bet on big bank stocks: 30% goes to the recent 2‑week winner, and 70% goes to the bank with the biggest recent price swings. May hold one or two bank stocks at a time, and can change picks every day.
Every day it looks at a list of big bank stocks (e.g., JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, plus large European banks like HSBC, Santander, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, BBVA).
- Puts 30% into the bank stock that rose the most over the last 14 days.
- Puts 70% into the bank stock with the biggest day‑to‑day price swings over the last 14 days.
If both are the same stock, it holds just that one. Rebalanced daily.
Out-of-sample edge: ~57% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.69, Calmar ~3.0, and drawdowns near ~19%. Daily bank-rotation targets bigger, durable upside vs. the S&P with disciplined risk.
