About
A rules-based “four corners” playbook. It first exploits short-term extremes; otherwise it picks one of four diversified mixes based on growth-vs-utilities leadership and credit health, aiming for high risk-adjusted returns with limited shorting.
It asks two questions unless the market is at an extreme.
1) Are growth stocks (QQQ) or utilities (VPU) stronger lately? That sets offense vs defense.
2) Are corporate bonds (CORP) beating T‑bills (BIL)? That says credit is healthy or not.
Those answers pick one of four diversified mixes. If prices get very stretched short-term, it briefly switches to quick bounce/hedge trades using very liquid ETFs.
Out-of-sample edge: 20.35% annual return vs 19.09% S&P, lower drawdown 14.69% vs 18.76%, Calmar ~1.39. Diversified, hedged, regime-driven risk control for better downside resilience.
