About
20% stays in a defense-stock fund (XAR). The other 80% rotates daily into the two YieldMax option-income ETFs tied to big-name stocks with the best recent returns. A momentum-plus-income take with a permanent defense tilt.
Each day, keep 20% in XAR (aerospace/defense stocks). The other 80% looks at a list of YieldMax funds tied to single stocks (Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc.). These aim for high income using options, so upside is capped. Pick the two with the best recent total return (last 4 periods) and split the 80% between them. Rebalance daily.
Out-of-sample results show this strategy outperforms the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis, with lower drawdowns, steady income from YieldMax funds, and a defense sleeve (20% in XAR) that cushions volatility while still seeking upside.
