About
Weekly rotation: QQQ vs QQQE momentum decides one-asset exposure—cheapest YieldMax mega-cap ETF if cap-weighted leadership wins, else Eli Lilly (LLY).
Every week: (1) calculate the 20-day momentum of QQQ and QQQE. (2) If QQQ momentum > QQQE momentum, pick the cheapest among MSFO (YieldMax MSFT), APLY (YieldMax AAPL), NVDY (YieldMax NVDA), FBY (YieldMax META) and invest 100% in that one ETF. (3) If not, invest 100% in LLY (Eli Lilly). (4) Rebalance weekly to reflect the signal. The strategy uses cash weighting to a single asset at each rebalance and does not build a basket of assets. The YieldMax ETFs themselves use option-writing strategies to generate income and carry risks distinct from the underlying mega-caps.
Outperforms the S&P on risk-adjusted basis: oos Sharpe ~1.93 vs 1.29, oos annualized return ~81.5% vs ~21.5%, and Calmar ~3.51. Weekly rotation into mega-cap income ETFs or LLY aims for higher upside with disciplined risk.
