There are 10 increments. You can hold up to 3 increments in the same stock. If the stock falls out of the top 10 holdings of TQQQ, all of that stock is sold. If additional funds are needed for the next purchase, sell the holding that is up the most. If all 8 stocks are up, you buy the one that is up the least. The concept is that great stocks rise for many years but do have significant corrections in that rise.

Currently this variation of Stars holds 30% MSFT. This month META is being purchased at $609. I will consider the variation a success if it outperforms the S&P by 10 percentage points per year. The goal is to substitute part of the S&P position in Stars with this variation.

In my book a Seedlings model was proposed as a replacement for SPY. It was a breakout model that bought on new 3 month highs. On testing it was found to have very high turnover and high drawdown. Many strategy ideas do not work. This demonstrates how great Stars buy and hold strategy is. It works better than anything else I can find.
