About
A fast‑moving, rules‑based strategy: hedge when markets look overheated, buy big rebounds when they look washed‑out, and otherwise ride the strongest stock sectors with leveraged ETFs—parking in T‑Bills when signals are weak.
It watches stock and bond funds using simple signals. RSI is a 0–100 “hot/cold” score of recent price moves (>79 = very hot; <31 = very cold). If stocks look too hot, it buys UVXY (a fund that jumps when market volatility surges). If stocks look very cold, it may buy beaten‑down tech (TECL) or short‑term bonds (BSV). If markets drop fast, it shifts to hedges (inverse stock funds, managed futures) or, if bonds are plunging, to funds that profit when Treasuries fall. Otherwise it rides the strongest stock sectors via leveraged funds (tech, semis, S&P 500, small‑caps, homebuilders, energy, etc.). If signals are weak, it holds T‑Bills (BIL). About 85% of the portfolio runs this playbook.
Out-of-sample: ~47% annualized return vs ~16% for the S&P, with better risk-adjusted performance (Sharpe ~0.96 vs 0.92) and Calmar ~1.02. Uses hedges/rotation to chase gains while aiming to limit losses, though drawdowns can be larger.
