A Prudent Portfolio For A Melt Up Or Melt Down | Seeking Alpha

A Prudent Portfolio For A Melt Up Or Melt Down | Seeking Alpha



Here is an excellent article to make the most of a stock market that melts up as well as providing downside protection.  I especially like the 40% concentration in the Nasdaq 100 Trendpilot ETN (TNDQ).  If the Nasdaq goes up, you keep making money.  If the Nasdaq goes below its 100 day line for more than five days, the fund switches over to 3-month treasuries.

The author also presented a back-tested chart going back to 1999 where TNDQ protected during two major bear markets, and it soundly beat the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 during upside trends.  The stock has also risen around 29% in the past year.  I am so convinced about TNDQ that I am buying it tomorrow.
