RSP Relative Strength Confirmation (Equal-Weight vs Concentration) Strategy

Created

Thesis

When almost the entire index's gains come from a tiny group of mega-caps, the average stock is already falling — a narrow leadership profile last seen at the 2000 dot-com peak. Rising multi-decade borrowing costs add pressure on the ordinary, debt-heavy companies beneath the surface, while the handful of giants can't stay immune forever in a 5%-yield world. Rather than betting the whole market crashes, buying the broad equal-weight basket against the concentrated index isolates the narrowing itself: if leadership broadens, you win, and if the mega-caps finally crack, you also win.

When almost the entire index's gains come from a tiny group of mega-caps, the average stock is already falling — a narrow leadership profile last seen at the 2000 dot-com peak.

Decision analysis profile: value.

Thesis: When almost the entire index's gains come from a tiny group of mega-caps, the average stock is already falling — a narrow leadership profile last seen at the 2000 dot-com peak. Rising multi-decade borrowing costs add pressure on the ordinary, debt-heavy companies beneath the surface, while the handful of giants can't stay immune forever in a 5%-yield world. Rather than betting the whole market crashes, buying the broad equal-weight basket against the concentrated index isolates the narrowing itself: if leadership broadens, you win, and if the mega-caps finally crack, you also win.
