Why the Stars Model Could Be the Smartest Base Investment You Make
The best-performing version of the Stars model? The 40/60 split. That means rebalancing to 40% TQQQ—and when TQQQ is down 40%, shifting to 60%. Go beyond that, and performance plateaus while drawdowns become too steep. In this model, every 2% increase in TQQQ raises overall portfolio performance by about 1%, letting you calibrate your comfort level with precision.
Because Stars is a long-term buy-and-hold strategy with an 8-year average holding period, it boasts near 100% accuracy with virtually zero real risk. The real cost? Missed opportunity. That’s why I encourage investors to allocate the highest TQQQ percentage they can comfortably maintain.
The remaining 60% of your portfolio is open for trading ideas—and that’s where things get interesting. While most investors underperform the S&P by 5%, I’m focusing on outperformers like Blackstone (up 6% annually over 14 years) and exploring new breakout and directional models using TQQQ options.
🔍 Bottom line: Stars gives you a high-performing, low-risk foundation—and a strategic springboard for your best trading ideas.
