About
Weekly, 70% rides the top stock from a curated “moat” list unless markets are overheated or crashing; 30% rides Eli Lilly. In extremes it flips to safety (Treasuries), volatility (VIXM), or shorts the S&P 500 (SH). Very concentrated, tactical.
It rebalances weekly and splits the account 70/30.
- 70% “Moat Surfer”: If the S&P 500 isn’t too hot (RSI below ~77), buy the strongest recent winner from a handpicked list (NVDA, AAPL, COST, etc.). If a sudden 5‑day plunge hit, use VIXM (fear). If the market is very hot, use SH (goes up when the S&P falls).
- 30% “Melt Up”: Ride Eli Lilly (LLY) unless it’s overheated or there’s a sharp drop; otherwise sit in SHY (short‑term Treasuries) or, if both LLY and the market are very hot, use SH. RSI is a 0–100 speed/heat gauge: high = ran up fast; low = cooled off.
Out-of-sample: ~27.2% annualized vs ~19.2% S&P; max drawdown ~35% vs ~19%; Calmar ~0.77; Sharpe ~0.75. Tactical, concentrated moat-stock picks with hedges (VIXM/SH) target higher upside with risk controls—note larger drawdowns in stress.
