About
Picks the 5 most volatile stocks from 10 mega-cap US names, holds them equally, and rebalances daily. Targets short-term “buy the dip, trim the rip” mean reversion; concentrated, tech/finance-heavy, and high turnover.
Universe: Apple, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Amazon, Tesla, Meta (Facebook), NVIDIA, Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan, Visa.
Each day we check which of these has been the most “bouncy” over the past ~20 trading days. We buy the 5 bounciest and split the money evenly. We rebalance daily—sell a bit of what popped and buy what dipped—aiming to profit if prices snap back. Tech/finance heavy; lots of trading.
Out-of-sample, this strategy outperforms the S&P on risk-adjusted return and upside: Sharpe ~1.69 vs 1.37, annualized ~65% vs 28%, Calmar ~3.22. Alpha ~0.14%. Drawdowns higher (~20% vs ~13.7%), but the upside premium justifies the risk.
