About
A high-risk strategy that usually bets hard on tech and semiconductors, but quickly flips to bearish or fear-based trades when markets look overheated, volatile, or weak.
This strategy mostly makes aggressive bets on tech stocks and semiconductors. If those areas look too hot after a big run-up, it flips to betting against them or on a jump in market fear. If the broader market trend is healthy, it usually owns leveraged Nasdaq funds.
If the market weakens, it may switch to safer Treasury bonds, cash-like T-bills, or bearish funds. In short: it chases strong tech trends, but tries to fade extreme moves.
Tech-led, dynamic-hedge strategy aimed at beating the S&P 500. Out-of-sample: ~28% annualized return vs ~19.7% for SPY, with volatility/bond hedges in stress. Expect higher upside in tech cycles but larger bear-market drawdowns.
