The Solid Base variation of the Stars model leverages the (40/60) version, which has averaged 32% annual returns over the past 14 years.
It’s called Solid Base because instead of starting from zero, you begin with a proven 32% performance. Half of the portfolio is in TQQQ, while the other half is available for ideas that can outperform the S&P. If an idea outperforms, it lifts the Stars model even higher. If it doesn’t, you still have a strong cushion of returns.

Right now, I’m testing two additional models for the 50% not in TQQQ. One is a breakout model that uses 25% of the portfolio to hold small positions in 50 stocks, with a target of 100% returns. The other uses 1–3% of the portfolio for TQQQ options, with the goal of 1,000% returns. Both models have rules, require some judgment, and take several hours each week to manage.

💡 I’d love to hear from this community: What ideas would you put into the 50% of the portfolio not holding TQQQ to make the Stars model even more profitable?
