Leveraged Haystack

Diversification is the only free lunch, so buy the entire haystack. This means any uncorrelated assets you can get your hands on. Once you've found uncorrelated assets, you can apply leverage to increase returns while maintaining a superior risk/reward profile via risk parity and correlation analysis. This is an example of a portfolio which has been roughly balanced, and uses small allocations to historically leveraged ETFs in order to maximise sharpe while increasing return.

This should be rebalanced via relative bands; if any allocation is out by more than 100%, it's time to rebalance. Otherwise simply let it ride.
