About this strategy

Dynamic and defensive, the strategy mainly holds broad market equity (VTI) and risk-on leveraged tech (TECL) when the semiconductor index (SMH) is oversold. When SMH is not oversold it shifts to a diversified mix of bonds (TLT, IEF, VGSH), commodities (DBC, GLD) and a dollar-hedged position (USDU) if the dollar trend is positive, otherwise it tilts toward a commodity-focused fund (PDBC).
