How the Stars Model Outshines the Market
The Stars Model is up 49% year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500’s 27% gain by an impressive 22%. In a market where 85% of strategies underperform the S&P, this performance stands out.
What’s even more remarkable? As market averages hit new highs, the Stars Model is now 100% above pre-COVID levels.
How does this happen?
At the end of 2022, the S&P had corrected 20%. The Stars Model doubled its allocation to TQQQ (leveraged Nasdaq exposure), increasing it to 40%. This strategic shift meant the number of TQQQ shares in the model was 6x higher than pre-COVID levels.
In 2023, TQQQ delivered a 200% return, and the position wasn’t reduced because history shows that the year following a major market correction often presents significant upside opportunities.
Fast forward to 2024: the Stars Model rose another 49%. As the year ends, the TQQQ allocation will be reduced to 20%, locking in gains and preparing for the next market cycle.
