About
Rules-based, diversified portfolio: 40% stocks, 20% Treasuries, 15% gold/commodities, 5% real estate, 20% US dollar. The U.S. stock sleeve flips between leveraged Nasdaq, Treasuries, defensive stock funds, or T‑bills based on market conditions.
Core holds many assets (stocks, bonds, gold, real estate, US dollar). Inside U.S. stocks, simple rules switch among:
- QLD (leveraged Nasdaq) on deep dips.
- IEF/TLT (Treasuries) when markets get jumpy.
- XLP/VIG (defensive stocks) when calm.
- BIL (T‑bills) if signals disagree.
QQQ/SPY are gauges; EFA/EEM add foreign stocks.
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe 2.30 vs 1.01, drawdown 6.1% vs 18.8%, and Calmar 2.74. More upside-adjusted returns with far lower risk, plus broad diversification. Safer, smoother exposure than the S&P 500 with similar long-run gains.
