About
A fast-moving strategy that keeps some money in the biggest companies, while the rest shifts among fear trades, bond trades, and defensive positions when markets look overheated or unstable.
This strategy splits money across 4 parts and checks them every day.
1) One part owns a basket of giant companies like Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, Berkshire, Walmart, JPMorgan, Exxon, and others.
2) Another part watches for signs the stock market is overheating or getting shaky. If it is, it buys funds that usually rise when fear spikes. If not, it falls back to the giant-stock basket.
3) A third part alternates between betting that market fear will rise or fade, with occasional dip-buying in fast-moving tech funds.
4) The last part trades Treasury-bond funds, sometimes betting bonds will rise, sometimes fall, and sometimes hiding in safer short-term bonds.
Diversified, rules-based strategy with four sleeves: mega-cap core, volatility hedges, fear bets, bonds, rebalanced daily. OOS: 20.2% annualized vs S&P 21.46%; Sharpe 1.36 vs 1.68; Calmar 2.21; max drawdown 9.14% vs 8.89%. Growth with hedges.
