About
A very aggressive strategy that usually chases U.S. tech upside, but quickly shifts into hedges, bonds, cash-like funds, or bearish positions when markets look too hot or dangerous.
This strategy is an aggressive market-timing system built mostly around big U.S. growth stocks, especially the Nasdaq.
When conditions look healthy, it often buys TQQQ, TECL, or UPRO — very aggressive funds that magnify gains and losses.
When the market looks overheated, weak, or panicky, it can switch into “fear” funds like VIXY/UVXY, defensive holdings like Treasury bond funds or T-bill funds, or bearish funds that rise when the Nasdaq or S&P 500 falls.
It makes these choices by checking recent market strength, trend direction, and whether stocks have moved up or down too fast.
Tech-led upside with hedges: out-of-sample annualized return ~42% vs SPY ~15%, Sharpe ~0.91, Calmar ~1.31. Built-in risk controls seek downside protection, but drawdowns around 32% can exceed the S&P in tough markets—and the upside remains compelling.
