Exodus Q1 Top-Down Quant Investment Model Slaughters The Standard and Poor for Second Consecutive Month

Here’s your monthly nudge to create your own quant investment model.  Below you will see the 2-month performance of a basket of stocks chosen by Exodus algorithms:

Keep in mind, the 2-month performance is irreverent because no adjustments will be made until the end of Q1, 2018.  So the positions will remain intact for the next 10 months.

 This basket of 15 stocks only one piece of the model I am building, and live investing in, right before your very eyes.

This is a very lazy approach.  There’s little need to babysit these books.  An hour is spent at the end of each quarter, parsing data, running the Exodus system, then making a few clicks in Motif.

Here’s how it all works.  At end of Q1, a 3-month top-down sector analysis is performed.  At the end of Q2, a 6-month.  Q3, a 9-month.  And you guessed it, at the end of Q4 a 12 month look back.

Each book is a 12-month hold.  Each book can hold a position held in another of the books, meaning certain stocks can have out sized positions.  This means greater micro risk—but also potential reward.

If the systems keep flagging a stock, like they are IMAX (which is getting slaughtered), then it will be bought quarterly and without second thought.

It is nice to not think about investing.  Humans tend to get in the way.  Robots are much better investors, advisors, and friends.

This quarterly process jives well with my inner accountant.  Every quarter I make a contribution to my investments, and while doing so I re-balance one of my books.  This saves on overall expenses and lets me do some simple financial planning.

The plan is to execute for 120 months.  For most of this duration, most of you will overlook me.  Pass me over as irrelevant because it doesn’t engage you emotionally.  Then, when you see the ridiculous gains achieved, you’ll have no choice but to be inspired to be a better you—a cyborg—part human, part robot, lording over the general population.

I shall make boring videos along the way, perhaps with a higher resolution camera on my face, so you can all bask in its beauty.  I do these things, live, so hopefully you can liberate yourself from the expensive fees levied by advisors, brokers, and ETFs.

With any luck, some of you will manage to not blow up by the time you come to the good side.  Then you can enjoy the hedonistic lifestyle you deserve.

For now, let it be known that the quant model has more than doubled the gains of the pathetic S&P 500 over the last two months.
