V2 Leads Blowout of Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Hedge Fund!
Bill Ackman, the billionaire investor, and hedge fund operator, was out this past week trumpeting his great success in 2020.
His firm, Pershing Square, scored a 70% increase in net asset value last year. It was its best annual return in 17 years. Good for him.

About the V2 Model.
We have researched and developed a pool of common and popular ETFs. We will select which ETFs to invest in based on market conditions and our short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends. We will also model asset class ratio behavior for our decision-making process. Leverage will be used when appropriate and we will short the market in a downturn. If no investments meet our rules, we will go to cash. We will change holdings at any time during the month.
The investment picks may be in large-cap growth, treasuries, leverage, derivatives. We may short the market or go to cash. Holdings may include SPXU, SDS, SH, SPY, SSO, UPRO, TLT, AGG, TQQQ, SQQQ, or CASH at any time.
