Raincheck Fund Podcast

What if you could outperform most of the NASDAQ 100 without picking a single stock?

This episode explains the strategy behind Raincheck Fund, a systematic approach to triple-leveraged NASDAQ-100 ETFs. Rather than predicting what the market will do next, it measures how the market is behaving right now and responds to it.

In this episode:

- Why buying and holding the S&P 500 or QQQ is still the gold standard, and why stock picking asks you to be right twice

- What TQQQ is (the name stands for "triple QQQ") and why the strategy is built around it

- A recent example: in the 139-trading-day uptrend that began May 1, 2025, TQQQ gained about 73% (over 112% at its late-October peak) and outperformed 94 of the 100 companies inside QQQ

- How the daily Market Signal works: a score from negative 9 to positive 9 built from price action, volatility, and key moving averages, and why it measures rather than forecasts

- How the strategy manages risk: entering uptrends in stages (tranche deployment), keeping a cash reserve to add on dips while the signal stays bullish, taking profits at predefined thresholds, and reducing leverage as the signal weakens

- How it handled the 2022 bear market and the 2025 tariff-driven volatility, and why short exposure through SQQQ is intentionally limited
