About
A twoâsleeve, allâweather plan: ride tech/AI strength when the market is healthy, but hedge or shift to bonds when it weakens. A second sleeve mostly holds shortâterm bonds, jumping into volatility (UVXY) only when fear or froth spikes.
Two sleeves.
1) Growth/hedge: Uses SPYâs 200âday average (longâterm trend) to set risk. In uptrends, hold the recent winner of QQQ (big tech) or BOTZ (AI/robotics); if QQQ looks overheated (RSI>81; RSI is a 0â100 âhot/coldâ gauge), flip to PSQ (inverse QQQ). In downtrends, buy sharp dips (QLD or SPY when RSI<30); else hedge with PSQ/SH or park in SHY; default to QQQ if stabilizing.
2) âBS Catcherâ: Usually BSV (shortâterm bonds). If markets look frothy or fearful (RSI spikes), briefly buy UVXY (volatility).
Out-of-sample, this strategy beats the S&P on risk-adjusted return: OOS Sharpe ~1.50 vs 1.40, max drawdown ~12.2% vs 18.8%, Calmar ~1.74. A two-sleeve plan blending AI/tech exposure with bond hedges for smoother, stronger upside.
