About
Own Bitcoin and big tech, but short riskier bitcoin‑proxy stocks (MicroStrategy, Coinbase) and Ethereum. Pair long gold with short gold miners. Inverse‑vol sizing favors steadier assets; daily rebalancing keeps the long/short mix in balance.
Core idea: own Bitcoin and big‑tech, but bet against the “bitcoin‑proxy” stocks that swing even harder than Bitcoin. It owns BTC (HODL), chipmakers (SOXX), big‑tech (QQQ), and fast‑moving S&P stocks (SPHB). It bets against MicroStrategy (SMST), Coinbase (CONI), Ethereum (SETH), and a speculative tech fund (SARK), using ETFs that rise when those fall. It also owns gold (GLD, extra weight) and bets against gold miners (DUST). A 20‑day “steadier gets more” rule sizes each slice, rebalanced daily.
Diversified long/short with BTC tilt, quality tech, and gold, plus inverse-vol sizing and daily rebalancing. Out-of-sample results show smoother risk and stronger upside vs the S&P 500.
