Jacob shows us how to pick winning assets with the Rotation Model.

I asked Jacob to compile an update on our rotation model. There are a few core principles I'd like everyone to revisit and internalize—because no matter how often I explain them, not everyone absorbs the details right away.

One key reason I share every move I make—every trade, every allocation—is transparency. I'm not dictating that you should follow my exact approach; rather, I'm showing you how I fish, so you can develop your own strategies for success.

Lately, there have been questions about whether MicroStrategy fits into the rotation model. I've always emphasized the need to identify FUTURE winners—assets poised to dominate over the next two years. Back in 2022, I laid out my game plan: accumulate MicroStrategy HARD at the bottom of the bear, then sell and rotate into Tesla in 2025. That's precisely what I've executed over the past 10-11 months. I've never bought a single share of MicroStrategy during this period; instead, I've systematically sold it off and redeployed the proceeds into Tesla and Nvidia.

This is the essence of narrative rotation, which is absolutely vital. We all know Bitcoin follows four-year cycles, but the real explosive wealth-creation opportunity unfolding right now is AI. That's where we're positioning ourselves aggressively. We're phasing out of crypto—we'll retain some exposure for balance—but we haven't bought any crypto in years, and we're not starting now.

SHARING RULES AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CONFUSION

1. Stick to 80% HODL, 20% Rotation

  • The rotation model is a multi asset swing trading tool, not a full-portfolio strategy. It is also like flying a 747….. You need to be the Captain and not run on auto pilot and let the plan go where it wants.  This is by far the most sophisticated and complicated tool we have ever build and NOTHING LIKE it on earth exists.

  • 80% of your portfolio should remain untouched as a long-term hold.

  • Only 20% is allocated for trading with the rotation model, ensuring stability and risk control.

2. Never Rotate 100% — Keep Layers

  • Avoid going all-in or all-out when rotating.

  • Always keep at least a retention percentage (default 20%) of each asset, even when signals tell you to sell.

  • This protects against missing sudden upside moves triggered by unexpected headlines or catalysts.

3. Pick Future Winners (Not Past Winners)

  • The model can overweight assets like MicroStrategy because of strong past performance. We know we are heading into a Bear Market.  Hence Ive been selling MSTR since late 2024 - NEVER ONCE BUYING IT.

  • Instead, focus on forward-looking narratives and winners for the next 1–2 years (e.g., AI, Tesla, Palantir, Robinhood, Nvidia, Hims).

  • The goal: rotate into assets with strong future potential, not those whose peak has passed.

4. Respect Mean Reversion — But Apply Selectively

  • The model favors mean reversion trades (buying dips expecting a snapback).

  • This works well for growth names like Nvidia, Palantir, Robinhood, and Tesla.

  • However, it fails with assets in long-term decline (e.g., MicroStrategy, weaker crypto plays).

  • Lesson: Don’t assume every dip is a buy — choose assets with real strength.

5. Rotate Out of Crypto into AI & TSLA

  • Current strategy: exit MSTR all year, exiting miners since April and crypto plays as the bull run comes to an end

  • Reallocate rotation capital into AI and Tesla, sectors expected to outperform in the next cycle. Rem I will also be keeping my BTC (I dont have much) and some MSTR in case there is an SBR or Global Game Theory like supply crunch.

  • Stay flexible and aligned with evolving market leaders. PLAY WHERE THE PUCK IS GOING TO BE. 

  • Plan in 4 year cycles

Core Principle: Use the rotation model as a disciplined trading overlay — stay partially invested, focus on future winners, and shift capital from fading sectors (like late-cycle crypto) into emerging leaders (AI, Tesla).

Thank you James and Jacob 🙏🍀👏👌

I'm new to this group but have been following the youtube for a couple years. This is such a great source of information, thank you. I do have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to looking through the patreon page. are there realtime updates for the rotation model, or somewhere I can follow or build out my own version? This might be advanced for my current level of skill but I'm interested in learning more.

Camie Steiner

The concept of focusing on AI as the next big play, would it be mostly concentrated in TSLA, NVDA & PLTR… did I miss any major ones in our groups AI focused stocks for the portfolio? (denoting HIMS and HOOD as stocks often given focus in this group but not being large AI focused stocks)

They update the model when something needs to be fixed, but the model runs using real time data. Hope that helps

« The model can overweight assets like MicroStrategy because of strong past performance. We know we are heading into a Bear Market. » - can someone clarify what is meant? All I’ve heard up until maybe the 3-4 months was how great Mstr was and praises how Saylor is a visionary. I understand James plan was to rotate into Tsla, but it’s something else to be this bearish « told you so / we all know » ?

DesertRat

Appreciated, James....I'm also going to hold onto my SOL. At least until the ETF's come out. But getting out of MSTR feels right.

Hello, I just became a capitalist, looking for the best way to get started with resources and start investing. I’m trying to retire in next 5 to 10 years and looking to maximize investments during this time

Please explain in more detail the 20% retention and 50% trade using real trades. i.e. first trade sell 50% asset 1, next trade would be 50% of the remaining asset 1 and 50% of asset 2 to buy asset 3? And at what point are you selling the 20% retention of asset 1?

TakesU2Haven

Could you pls tell more about the 20% retention and 50% trade using real trades. i.e. first trade sell 50% asset 1, next trade would be 50% of the remaining asset 1 and 50%. When this happens 5 Times, 5x20% makes 100% so no more amunition available for any next trade

Simon

Thank you Jacob, very good, calm and clear presentation
