About
A very active “all-weather” portfolio that chases growth in tech when markets are healthy, but rotates into hedges, bonds, gold, commodities, and even bearish bets when markets look dangerous.
This portfolio splits money across three jobs: growth, defense, and cash/Bitcoin.
For growth, it mostly watches the U.S. stock market—especially tech—and decides when to be aggressive, cautious, or even bet against stocks. When trends look strong, it buys growth-heavy funds or big tech stocks. When markets look overheated or are falling fast, it may shift into volatility funds, Treasury bonds, or short positions.
For defense, it holds assets that may help during crashes or inflation, such as gold, bonds, volatility funds, defensive stock funds, and commodities like oil, natural gas, metals, and agriculture.
It uses simple market signals based on recent price behavior: whether prices are trending up or down, whether moves have been unusually strong, and whether markets have dropped sharply. In plain English, it is constantly asking: “Is this market strong, weak, overheated, panicking, or recovering?” Then it rotates into the assets that fit that environment.
Out-of-sample edge: ~19.8% annualized return vs S&P 500's ~17.1%, Sharpe ~1.15 vs ~1.02, Drawdown ~14.2% vs ~18.8%, Calmar ~1.39. A dynamic mix of growth and hedges aims for higher growth with less risk than the S&P.
