About
A tactical, contrarian strategy focused on tech/semis/Nasdaq. It shorts after fast, jumpy run‑ups using 3× inverse ETFs, otherwise rides 3× longs. If the broader market looks overheated, it adds a volatility‑spike hedge (UVXY) and may park in T‑bills when unsure.
It splits money across three tech‑heavy slices: Nasdaq‑100 (TQQQ/SQQQ), Semiconductors (SOXL/SOXS), and Technology (TECL/TECS). If prices have run up fast and daily swings are big, it briefly flips to the 3× inverse funds; if not, it rides the 3× longs. In short, overheated bursts it may park in T‑bills (BIL). Separately, if SPY/QQQ or sectors like Communications, Staples, or Financials look overheated (high RSI), it buys UVXY, a fund that jumps when fear spikes.
Out-of-sample: potential ~52% annualized return vs ~24% for the S&P, driven by a tech/semis tilt with tactical hedges. Expect higher volatility and bigger drawdowns, but upside can greatly outpace the market when tech leads.
