About
Weekly rotation that gauges whether mega-caps are leading (QQQ vs QQQE). If they are, buy one YieldMax ETF linked to MSFT/AAPL/NVDA/META (the lowest-priced that week). If not, hold Eli Lilly (LLY). Always one position at a time.
Each week it asks: are mega-cap techs leading? It checks if QQQ (Nasdaq-100, tilted to the biggest names) has a stronger recent trend than QQQE (equal-weight version). If yes, it buys one YieldMax ETF tied to MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, or META—the one with the lowest share price that week. If no, it buys Eli Lilly (LLY). Recent trend = average gain over about the last month. Net effect: concentrated mega-cap tech or, otherwise, healthcare (LLY).
Weekly mega-cap leadership rotation aims to outpace the S&P 500. Outsample annualized return around 81.5%, Sharpe ~1.93 vs S&P, Calmar ~3.51. Higher upside through mega-cap exposure, but with higher drawdown risk due to single-position concentration (~23%).
