About
A high‑octane take on Buffett’s 90/10: 90% in 2x S&P 500 (SSO) and 10% in 3x 7–10yr Treasuries (TYD), rebalanced weekly. About 2.1x total exposure—big upside in bull markets, but larger drawdowns and decay risk in volatile or falling markets.
90% goes to SSO, a fund that aims to deliver 2x the S&P 500’s daily move (big US companies). 10% goes to TYD, a fund that targets 3x the daily move of 7–10 year US Treasury bonds. Rebalanced weekly. This creates ~210% total exposure, so gains and losses are magnified; daily reset can cause drift in choppy markets. Unlike Buffett’s plain 90/10 with short‑term bonds, this uses leverage and intermediate bonds, making it much riskier.
Out-of-sample annualized return ~26.95% vs S&P 19.23%; leverage magnifies gains in bull markets with Treasury diversification, giving Calmar ~0.85. Expect larger drawdowns (~31.7% vs ~18.8%), so suited for risk-tolerant investors seeking upside.
