  Here you go. I tweaked my portfolio again. I've been working and researching for this portfolio over a year. And has had dozens of different tests thrown at it. It doesn't backtest amazing because I didn't optimise it for backtesting deliberately.

  I tweaked my portfolio again. It's a little more aggressive now. I'm probably going to keep it more or less like this for awhile.

  I tweaked my portfolio again. I already explained it a bunch of time. They're not random tickers mashed together. I've spent over a year of research working on this portfolio and easily 1000 hours on it. >SGRT 3 / SPMO 5 / CHAT 10 / IGM 7 / IUSG 2 >FDL 6 / PWV 3 >JQUA 4 / FMTM 3 / WTLS 5 / QFF 2 >RSIT 10 / FNDE 4 / DXJ 3 >KWH 4 / WELD 2.5 / SPRX 1 / HAP 1 >YGLD 6 >TYA 3.5 >KMLM 2 / CTA 3 / CLSE 3 / MKTN 2 / SDCI 3 / IALT 2

  I tweaked my portfolio again. This is the updated one. It has basically 1.4x exposure. Most of the leverage is in the hedges, and it has 91% gross equity including both longs and shorts, and 86% just the longs.

  FDL: Dividend ETF That Keeps Buying The Losing Sector The First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index Fund ETF is rated a hold due to its defensive positioning but structural flaws in its yield-focused strategy. FDL recently outperformed SPY, aided by energy sector exposure, yet its lack of technology holdings poses long-term underperformance risk as tech drives index gains.
