About
A daily trading strategy that tries to time emerging markets. In panics it moves to T-bills; otherwise it uses aggressive 3x bullish or bearish emerging-markets funds based on trend, momentum, and macro signals.
This strategy is a fast-moving market-timing system focused on emerging-market stocks.
First, it checks market fear using VIXM. If fear is extremely high, it hides in BIL (short-term Treasury bills).
If not, it usually bets on emerging markets using either EDC (a 3x bullish fund) or EDZ (a 3x bearish fund). It decides by checking whether emerging markets look washed out, whether the long-term trend is up or down, and whether bonds, stocks, and inflation-related funds are acting stronger or weaker.
Out-of-sample, this EM-timing strategy targets higher upside (about 37% annualized vs 17% for the S&P) with built-in hedging (VIXM to BIL) and lower SPY beta. Leveraged EM can swing sharply—it's not buy-and-hold.
