About
Buys last month’s two best performers from a preset list of large stocks plus an oil and a uranium fund, splits 50/50, holds one month, then re-ranks and rotates. Very concentrated; swings can be big, especially if oil/uranium funds are chosen.
Each month, it looks at a fixed list of 36 big, liquid names (Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla, JPMorgan, Chevron, Berkshire, etc.) plus two energy funds (a 2x oil fund “UCO” and a uranium miners fund “URA”).
It picks the two with the biggest price gains over roughly the past month (~16 trading days), puts 50% in each, holds for one month, then repeats.
Only two holdings; can be volatile.
A monthly momentum strategy rotates the top 2 winners mega-cap tech and energy/commodities. Out-of-sample: ~39% annualized return vs ~21% for the S&P, with Calmar ~1.01. Higher upside, but higher drawdown risk due to concentration.
