About
A tactical strategy that tries to capture extra upside with leveraged tech exposure, but uses market “warning lights,” dip-buying rules, and defensive assets like Treasuries, gold, and volatility funds to reduce damage in rough markets.
This strategy is an on/off market-timing system. It uses a few “warning lights” to judge whether markets look healthy or stressed.
When conditions look OK, it may buy TQQQ (a fund that magnifies moves in big tech stocks) after a sharp dip, or switch to defensive assets like Treasuries, gold, the U.S. dollar, utilities, commodities, or volatility funds if those are leading.
When conditions look weak, it becomes more defensive, often mixing Treasuries and volatility-related funds, but it can still take a smaller shot at TQQQ when markets look washed out.
Leverage tech upside with smart risk controls. Out-of-sample returns ~30.9% vs ~20.8% for the S&P, lower beta (~0.84), plus solid risk-adjusted metrics and built-in hedges for downside - driving bigger growth with managed risk.
