The idea
I believe momentum keeps working, that stocks already leading the market tend to keep leading it. So this basket holds this year's top S&P 500 performers so far, led by Sandisk, with two rules-based momentum ETFs that automatically rotate into new leaders as they emerge. Right now that tilts heavily toward memory and AI hardware names, with Moderna and Marathon Petroleum as the main exceptions. I keep 10% in cash since momentum stocks can reverse sharply when leadership shifts, and I'd rethink this if momentum itself stopped outperforming the index over time.
