About
A 50/50, daily‑rebalanced bet on tech: SanDisk (now defunct; would need a substitute) plus TQQQ, which moves ~3x the Nasdaq‑100 each day. Expect large swings—can surge in rallies and drop hard in sell‑offs. Despite the name, it isn’t a hedge.
Put half your money in SanDisk (SNDK) and half in TQQQ. Each day, trade to get back to 50/50.
TQQQ aims for about 3x the daily move of the Nasdaq‑100 (big tech names).
SanDisk made flash memory chips; it was bought in 2016 and no longer trades, so you’d need a substitute (e.g., Western Digital or a semiconductor ETF).
Both sides usually move together—this is not a hedge and is very volatile.
Out-of-sample, this tech-driven strategy far outperforms the S&P: ~140% annualized return vs ~32% for the S&P, Calmar ~3.26, Sharpe ~1.39. It aims to capture powerful tech rallies; be prepared for a sizable drawdown (~43%).
