About
A defensive tech-infrastructure strategy: it buys the strongest stocks in a small AI/semiconductor/networking basket when tech trends are healthy, and shifts to short-term Treasuries when they are not.
The strategy first checks whether the overall tech market is healthy using QQQ, a popular tech-heavy fund. If QQQ is below its long-term trend, it moves everything into BIL, a very safe short-term Treasury fund.
If tech looks healthy, it ranks 7 tech-infrastructure stocks by their past 1-year performance and buys the strongest ones. Three separate checks using Lumentum, Tower Semiconductor, and Camtek decide how much of the portfolio stays invested versus parked in BIL.
Out-of-sample, tactical momentum in AI/tech infrastructure. Aims ~55% annualized return with Calmar ~2.1 and Sharpe ~1.03 vs S&P, using market-regime filters and cash defense to ride tech uptrends while limiting drawdowns.
