About
An aggressive market-timing strategy that usually bets on semiconductors with leverage, switches to a volatility hedge when markets look too hot, and sometimes moves to inverse Nasdaq or short bonds in weaker markets.
This strategy is mostly a high-conviction bet on semiconductor stocks through SOXL, a very aggressive fund. It first asks: is tech in a healthy long-term uptrend? If yes, it holds SOXL unless many market areas look overheated, in which case it switches to VXX, a fear/volatility fund.
If the long-term trend looks weak, it still buys SOXL after sharp pullbacks. Only when weakness continues does it turn defensive, choosing either SQQQ (a bet against the Nasdaq) or BSV (short-term bonds).
Aggressive semiconductor tilt with adaptive hedging. Out-of-sample annualized return ~97.7% vs S&P ~17.8%, Calmar ~1.53 and Sharpe ~1.17. High upside in tech rallies, but expect sizable drawdowns (~64%) in adverse regimes.
