About
A fast, tactical system: when stocks look too “hot,” it buys volatility (UVXY); after a vol pop it may hold VIXM or flip to SPXL; otherwise it buys dips in leveraged tech/semis/biotech/S&P. If no dip, a KMLM-based regime switch chooses risk‑on or defensive plays.
- If many stock/sector funds look extremely “hot,” jump into UVXY to try to catch a short volatility spike.
- If volatility already spiked, either hold VIXM or switch to SPXL, based on the market tone.
- Else, buy dips in TECL/SOXL/SPXL/LABU.
- If no dips, use KMLM vs tech to go risk‑on (TECL/SOXL/SVIX/BULZ/SPXL) or risk‑off (SQQQ/TLT).
Volatility-timing strategy diversifies beyond the S&P 500 by switching among UVXY, VIXM, leveraged ETFs, and risk-on/off regimes. It’s high-risk with negative out-of-sample results, but can offer diversification and potential upside in turbulent markets.
