About
Daily trend-following across strategic metals and defense/AI. If the last 30 days are positive, each slice owns its paired stock/ETF; otherwise it parks in SGOV (T‑bills). Largest weight tilts to 3D printing, with uranium, lithium, rare earths, and deep tech.
Each day it checks whether certain “signal” names rose over the last 30 days. If a signal is up, that slice buys a paired stock/ETF; if not, it sits in SGOV (T‑bills). Slices: 45% SSYS (3D printing) if RGTI (quantum) is up; 15% PLTR (AI/defense) if MP (rare earths) is up; 15% CCJ (uranium) if CCJ is up; 10% ALB (lithium) if ALB is up; 8% RGTI if URA (uranium ETF) is up; 7% REMX (rare‑earths ETF) if REMX is up.
Out-of-sample edge: ~45% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.82, Calmar ~5.28—strong risk-adjusted outperformance versus the S&P 500. Drawdown is higher (~8.6% vs ~4.5%), but a cash overlay helps protect downside while preserving upside potential.
