About
A fast-moving, high-risk strategy that buys leveraged stock funds after sharp selloffs, buys a volatility fund when markets look overheated, and otherwise hides in staples, healthcare, or bonds.
Each day, the strategy checks whether the U.S. stock market looks unusually beaten down or unusually overheated over the last 10 days.
If tech stocks look heavily sold off, it buys TQQQ, a fund that tries to magnify Nasdaq gains 3x. If not, but the broader S&P 500 looks heavily sold off, it buys UPRO, which tries to magnify S&P 500 gains 3x.
If instead the market looks too hot, it buys UVXY, a very aggressive fund that tends to rise when market fear jumps.
If neither extreme is happening, it shifts to more defensive holdings: consumer staples, healthcare, and bonds, leaning toward whichever of those has been weaker recently.
Diversified tactical strategy: levered oversold bets, volatility hedges, and defensive ballast. Out-of-sample: ~19% annualized return, Calmar 1.65, low beta (~0.43) to SPY—helps diversification and downside risk management vs. the S&P.
