Trading Through Market Shifts with David Dziekanski


Listen Later

The markets have shifted into a new volatility regime, and traders need fresh tools to navigate these choppy waters. In this illuminating conversation, Michael Gayed hosts David Dziekanski (Founder and CEO of Quantify Funds), Mike Venuto (Co-Founder of Tidal ETF Services), and Michael Silva (trader and host of Figuring Out Money) to explore innovative trading strategies for today's challenging market environment.

David introduces Quantify's groundbreaking launch of four new "stacked" ETFs that provide a revolutionary approach to thematic investing. Unlike traditional leveraged funds, these products offer 100% exposure to two carefully paired stocks within a single fund, creating effective 2:1 leverage with built-in rebalancing. The newly launched funds include APED (MicroStrategy/Coinbase), LAYS (NVIDIA/AMD), SPCY (NVIDIA/SMCI), and ZIPP (Uber/Tesla) - each targeting high-interest themes from cryptocurrency to artificial intelligence.

The conversation delves into the mechanics behind these innovative products, explaining how they solve one of the most challenging aspects of portfolio management: executing those difficult rebalances between correlated assets, especially during earnings seasons or market turbulence. As David explains, "These are prepackaged vehicles offering rebalancing in an ETF that you don't have to think about."

Silva shares practical insights on adjusting trading strategies during periods of expanded volatility, while Venuto illuminates the structural tax advantages ETFs offer over traditional investment vehicles. The panel also explores Quantify's successful BTGD fund, which applies the stacking approach to Bitcoin and gold, demonstrating how automatic rebalancing can capture value during volatile market swings.

For traders navigating today's unpredictable markets, this discussion offers valuable perspectives on using innovative investment vehicles to maintain tactical exposure while managing risk more effectively. Whether you're looking to trade through earnings season, add tactical leverage to your portfolio, or simply understand the evolving landscape of ETF innovation, this episode provides crucial insights for surviving and thriving in volatile markets.
