About
Daily, tactical momentum strategy that flips among leveraged tech, biotech, and emerging‑markets—or cash—using inflation, volatility, and bond‑vs‑stock signals to decide when to play offense, defense, or go bull/bear.
1) Regime: If inflation expectations (RINF) are above their 200‑day average (uptrend), go on offense; else play defense.
2) Stress check: If volatility (VIXM) is “hot” (RSI>70), hold T‑Bills (BIL).
3) Then, pick the recent winner among: a) US tech via TQQQ plus a quality mix (LLY, NVO, COST, PGR/GE); b) Biotech via LABU/LABD, flipping bull/bear using bonds vs small‑caps and a bond check (TMF); c) EM via EDC/EDZ using trend and bonds‑vs‑stocks. RSI = short‑term heat score.
Out-of-sample annualized return: 19.29% vs SPY 19.23%, with regime-driven rotations across leveraged tech, biotech, and EM. Seeks higher-growth exposure while using inflation and volatility signals to adapt to changing markets.
