About
A high-risk weekly strategy that uses Nasdaq mega-cap leadership as a signal, then makes a one-position bet on leveraged tech, Eli Lilly, or a leveraged S&P 500 fund.
Once a week, the strategy checks whether the biggest Nasdaq companies are outperforming the average Nasdaq company over the past 20 trading days.
If yes, it buys just one leveraged fund tied to Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, or Meta.
If no, it buys either Eli Lilly or a leveraged S&P 500 fund.
The final pick is simply whichever choice has the lowest share price at that moment.
Strat: weekly signal-based bets on mega-cap leaders using leveraged ETFs. Out-of-sample: ~43.9% annualized return vs ~20% for the S&P, but with much bigger drawdowns (~59% vs ~19%), i.e., potential for big gains accompanied by higher risk.
