About

Tactical Industrials plan: buy 5 recent laggards in the sector when the trend is healthy or deeply oversold; hide in gold or T-bills when trend is weak; during short-term overheats, use a volatility hedge (UVXY). Rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
It watches the U.S. Industrials sector ETF (XLI). Most days it buys 5 recent laggards from a list of big industrial stocks/ETFs, expecting a short-term bounce. “Hot” or “cold” is judged by simple gauges: RSI (a short-term speed meter) and 50/200-day averages. If XLI gets extremely hot short term (RSI very high), it briefly switches to a volatility hedge (UVXY). If XLI looks weak and not oversold, it goes defensive in gold (GLD) or cash-like T-bills (BIL), whichever ticked up lately. Rebalanced daily; includes a 3x ETF (DUSL), so swings can be large.
