Own SPY when the long-term trend is strong. If it softens, buy tech on deep dips or move to Treasuries. In bear markets, park mostly in T‑bills/Treasuries/Staples and use a small tactical sleeve to hedge or ride short tech/semiconductor rebounds.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
1) If the S&P 500 (SPY) is in a clear uptrend (above key averages), own SPY. 2) If the trend weakens, only buy tech (XLK) on sharp dips in the Nasdaq (QQQ); otherwise hide in 3–7y Treasuries (IEI). 3) If SPY breaks down, hold mostly T‑bills (SHV), Treasuries (IEI) and Staples (XLP), plus a small tactical sleeve that can hedge (PSQ/QID) or play quick rebounds in QQQ/semis (SMH/QLD/USD).
Own SPY when the long-term trend is strong. If it softens, buy tech on deep dips or move to Treasuries. In bear markets, park mostly in T‑bills/Treasuries/Staples and use a small tactical sleeve to hedge or ride short tech/semiconductor rebounds.
Offers a clear edge: out-of-sample return 27.6% vs SPY 22.3%, Sharpe 1.74 vs 1.43, Calmar 2.71, and max drawdown 10.2% vs 18.8%. Beta ~0.81 means smoother drawdowns while capturing tech-led upside.
