About this strategy

Dynamic and defensive, this strategy mainly holds leveraged Nasdaq (QLD) when volatility is low or the market is trending up, and switches to a mix of short-term bonds (SHY), broad market (SPY), market-neutral (BTAL), gold (GLD) and consumer staples (XLP) when volatility rises or the Nasdaq is oversold. It protects itself by adding short VIX (SVXY) and VIX mid-term (VIXM) when volatility spikes, keeping risk in check.
