Is This the Secret Weapon to Survive the Market Apocalypse?!

Reality Check: Market's Gone Plaid!

Alright folks let's talk about this market. It's been wilder than a Tesla Autopilot glitch on a Friday night. Everyone's screaming 'Recession!' like they're trying to summon Cthulhu. But fear not my loyal Martian comrades! There might just be a beacon of hope in this financial Dark Souls and it comes in the form of an ETF called TACK managed by one Katie Stockton.

TACK: The Anti Index Superhero

So this TACK ETF isn't your average Joe Schmoe index fund. It's like the Cybertruck of ETFs—it does its own thing. Stockton claims it's designed to be 'nimble' and rotate through sectors like a hyperactive squirrel searching for nuts. They aren't tied to any specific index and they are actively trying to leverage market upside while minimizing drawdowns.

Sector Rotation: A Game of Musical Chairs

The genius or madness lies in the monthly sector rotation. They ditch tech (apparently they're not hodling Dogecoin) and jump into 'less favored' sectors like consumer staples utilities and real estate. It's like playing musical chairs but with billions of dollars. And apparently they have dodged President Trump's tariffs and his 'reciprocal' measure which affected the S&P 500

Performance: Did It Actually Work?

The numbers don't lie. While the S&P 500 took a nosedive TACK only fell a smidge. Stockton's ETF rotates monthly between all 11 S & P 500 sectors. As of April 16, the fund's top sector holdings included consumer staples utilities and real estate . As of Thursday's close the Fairlead Tactical Sector ETF is down 4% so far this year. This might sound boring but in this market boring is the new exciting. It's like having a flamethrower that only mildly singes your eyebrows.

Compared to the Competition: TSLA ETF Burned?!

Now let's talk about the competition. The Invesco Top QQQ Trust (QBIG) which tracks the top 45% of companies in the Nasdaq 100 index is down 22% in 2025. Ouch! And get this the GraniteShares YieldBoost TSLA ETF (TSYY) is down a whopping 48%! Looks like someone needs a software update and a serious dose of reality. Maybe they should ask Katie for advice?

BTIG Says: "It's Good"

Even the suits at BTIG those guys who look like they were born wearing ties are impressed. Troy Donohue called TACK 'nimble' and praised its performance during the 'dramatic pullback.' High praise indeed. Maybe I should invest. Or maybe I'll just buy more Dogecoin. Decisions decisions… Anyway if you're looking for a way to survive this market madness TACK might just be the escape pod you need. But remember past performance is not indicative of future results. And always remember to question everything. Especially me. Now back to launching rockets and pondering the mysteries of the universe! Ad astra!
