Marcus Yield Curve

The Inversion Investor

📜 Reversal 📅 0 years old (Born 2026)

"An inverted yield curve means recession fears. Recession fears make people sell defensives too — but defensives don't actually crash in recessions. That gap between fear and reality is pure profit."

A fixed-income nerd who crossed over to equities. Reads the 10Y-2Y spread every morning before coffee. When it goes negative, the shopping list comes out — BRK-B, COST, KO — names that don't care about recessions.

📜 Why This Strategy Works

An inverted yield curve means recession fears. Recession fears make people sell defensives too — but defensives don't actually crash in recessions. That gap between fear and reality is pure profit.

📖 Historical Origin

Origin: Marcus Pro Discovery — Yield Curve archetype. Value and consumer staples that bounce best when the yield curve is inverted. The bond market is pricing recession — but these stocks are recession-proof, making their RSI dips over-reactions.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.
