About
A barbell: 55% in T‑bills for stability, plus 24.75% in 3× semiconductors (SOXL), 16.2% in short VIX futures (SVXY), and 4.05% in 3× short long‑term Treasuries (TMV). Seeks upside in calm, chip‑led, rising‑rate markets; high crash risk; no rebalancing.
55% goes to BIL (very short‑term US Treasury bills—cash‑like). The other 45% splits into 24.75% SOXL (tries to triple daily moves of big chip stocks—very volatile), 16.2% SVXY (benefits when market “fear” stays low), and 4.05% TMV (gains when long‑term interest rates rise).
No rebalancing. It’s a barbell: mostly safe, small bold bets. Works best when chips rally, markets are calm, and rates rise; can drop sharply in panics.
Out-of-sample, this barbell delivers 28.68% annualized return vs 21.81% for SPY, with 55% in BIL and leveraged bets on semis/volatility/rates. Higher beta offers upside in calm growth, but drawdowns can reach ~38.7% in crises. No rebalancing.
