Strategy
Updated
I anchor the portfolio to its benchmark with a ~60% QQQ core and take limited active risk in 2-3 mega-cap NASDAQ leaders (max 15% each at entry), keeping ~10% cash for dip-buying. I buy satellites on flat-to-down days, trim any position that grows past 25% of the portfolio, and only sell if the written thesis breaks -- rebalancing to targets weekly since trading is free.
Written when the portfolio was worth $10,000.00.
