About
A monthly, trend-driven momentum strategy: when the market is rising, own four fast-moving AI/tech and power names; when it’s weak, rotate into defensive blue-chips. Aims to ride winners and sidestep downturns.
Each month it checks if big U.S. stocks (via the XLG ETF of the S&P 500’s top 50) are rising over 2–8 months. If yes, it buys the 4 strongest winners (past 90 days) from an AI/tech-and-power shortlist (NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, META, VST, CEG, TLN, TSM, ANET, VRT, etc.), equal‑weighted. If not, it shifts to steadier defensive names (WMT, PG, KO, JNJ, DUK, etc.), picking the top 2 over 5, 9 and 97 days and blending them (2/3, 2/9, 1/9) to total 100%.
Despite weak OOS results, this rules-based dual-momentum strategy offers diversification and explicit risk-off protection, aiming to capture leadership in uptrends and complement the S&P 500 as a tactical sleeve rather than a core.
