About
A high-risk timing strategy that swings between a fear trade, a tech rebound trade, and a mostly biotech up-or-down bet, with a smaller side position in Eli Lilly, Broadcom, or long-term bonds.
This strategy first checks for extreme stock-market conditions.
If big stock indexes look too hot, it moves into UVXY, a fund that tends to jump when market fear spikes.
If tech looks sharply beaten down, it buys TECL, an aggressive tech fund, to bet on a rebound.
Otherwise, it makes 3 separate “votes” based on whether bonds are acting stronger than stocks. Those votes decide whether to bet on biotech going up (LABU) or down (LABD). Alongside that, it puts a smaller slice into whichever is strongest lately: Eli Lilly, Broadcom, or long-term Treasury bonds. It also leaves about 10% in cash.
Out-of-sample, this strategy aims for higher upside than the S&P: ~29.9% annualized vs ~18.8% for SPY, driven by market-timing and levered biotech/tech bets. Expect larger drawdowns, but potential for outsized gains in volatile regimes.
