About
Rules-based rotation: ride mega-caps when they lead; otherwise choose defensive or a milder stock/cash mix based on short-term rates (via BIL). Seeks more upside in big-tech booms and less downside when leadership fades.
Step 1: Is QQQ (Nasdaq‑100, tilted to giants) beating QQQE (same stocks, equal‑weighted) over ~1 month? If yes, buy MSFT, AAPL, NVDA plus amplified Nasdaq funds QLD (2x) and TQQQ (3x).
If not, check BIL’s 1‑yr return. If ≥1.75% (rates high), go defensive: SGOL (gold), BIL (T‑bills), TIP (inflation‑linked Treasuries), USDU (long USD). Otherwise, go mild risk: SCHD (dividends), VOO (S&P 500), and BIL.
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers ~38% annualized return with ~15% max drawdown and Calmar ~2.54, offering a meaningful upside edge and competitive risk-adjusted performance versus SPY's ~22% return, ~19% drawdown, and ~1.30 Sharpe.
