About
A dynamic “all‑weather” portfolio. It rotates among tech growth, bonds, commodities, volatility hedges, and cash/Bitcoin using simple hot/cold (RSI) and trend (moving‑average) signals—aiming to ride uptrends and defend in selloffs. Uses leveraged ETFs; high risk.
Think of this as a “cockroach” portfolio: it tries to survive anything.
- Offense: ride stock uptrends (mostly big tech). If price looks too hot, shift to volatility funds or bonds; if washed‑out, buy the dip.
- Defense: when fear spikes or the market breaks its long‑term average, add hedges (inverse QQQ, VIX funds), Treasuries, gold, and defensive sectors.
- Inflation: own oil, gas, metals, and agriculture when they trend up.
- Deflation: move into bonds when they trend up.
- Income: hold yield ETFs.
- Always keeps some cash and a small Bitcoin sleeve.
RSI = a 0–100 “heat gauge” of recent moves. Moving averages compare today’s price to its recent average to tell uptrend vs downtrend.
Out-of-sample edge: ~34.4% annualized return vs 17.8% for the S&P, Sharpe ~1.79 vs ~0.96, max drawdown ~14.2% vs ~18.8%, and beta ~0.68. Higher upside, stronger downside protection, and lower market sensitivity.
