About
A monthly momentum strategy that chases the 4 hottest growth stocks when large U.S. stocks are trending up, and moves into steadier defensive companies when the market trend turns weak.
Each month, the strategy first checks whether the biggest U.S. stocks are generally rising, using XLG, a fund built from about 50 mega-cap companies.
If that market backdrop looks positive on short-, medium-, or longer-term readings, it buys the 4 strongest stocks from a high-growth list, based on their last 90 days of performance.
If all 3 market readings look weak, it shifts into more defensive stocks like Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, and Duke Energy, leaning most on the names that have been strongest very recently.
High-conviction momentum with a built-in defensive tilt. OOS shows ~32% annualized return vs ~15% S&P by riding mega-cap growth in uptrends and rotating to defensives when trends weaken—strong upside with disciplined risk control.
