US Manufacturing Guard
by Charvi Agarwal
This strategy invests across a basket of four major industrial manufacturing names, staying long only when each stock is holding up well and stepping aside the moment one starts to break down. It watches for two kinds of trouble: a slow, grinding decline off recent highs, or a sudden sharp drop over just a few days. Either one triggers an exit for that specific stock, while the others keep running independently. Any capital freed up from an exited position doesn't sit idle in cash — it automatically shifts into short-term T-Bills, so the portfolio always stays fully deployed, just in safer form. Re-entry is deliberately cautious: a stock only gets bought back after it shows a real, confirmed bounce off its recent lows and steady footing above its short-term trend, rather than jumping back in on the first green candle.
