We’ve all heard it—and while it’s true, it often misses a deeper insight.
The STARS model doesn’t try to predict market direction or chase stock picks. Instead, it captures volatility—and that’s where its strength lies.
Let’s look at how STARS performed across three completely different market environments:

📉 1998–2010:
The S&P 500 began and ended at the same price, with two 40% corrections.
→ STARS outperformed the S&P by 5x.

📈 2011–2019:
A strong bull market where SPY and TQQQ steadily rose.
→ STARS outperformed the S&P by 2x.

📊 2020–2024:
A volatile ride with a 20% correction in the S&P.
→ STARS outperformed the S&P by 3x.

Across all conditions—flat, rising, or volatile—STARS delivered.

📌 Over the last 14 years, the best version of the model has outperformed the S&P by a factor of 9.
Volatility isn’t the enemy. When used right, it’s the opportunity.
