About
A tactical strategy that flips between dividend stocks, hedges, bonds, gold, and aggressive rebound trades based on whether the market looks overheated, fearful, or oversold.
This strategy is a market mood-switcher.
It first checks whether major parts of the U.S. stock market have risen too far too fast using RSI, which is basically a short-term “heat gauge.” If stocks look overheated, it shifts into crash-protection funds tied to market volatility and long-term Treasury bonds.
If fear is already rising, it rotates into defensive assets like Treasuries, gold, and volatility funds. If tech or the broad market has fallen hard, it tries to buy the rebound using aggressive 3x stock funds. Otherwise, it holds a mixed basket of dividend stocks, volatility trades, and a market-neutral anti-high-risk fund.
Diversified tactical strategy that shifts to defense when risk rises and pursues rebounds otherwise. OOS: Sharpe 1.46 vs 1.37; max drawdown 9.3% vs 18.8%; Calmar 2.19; beta ~0; ~20% annualized return with lower risk than the S&P.
