Markets move in cycles. But most investors only recognize the critical turning points after it’s too late.
Not Hedgeye subscribers.
While the financial media and Wall Street cheerleaders were still pushing risk, we were exiting positions, locking in gains, and preparing for the storm.
The result? Hedgeye Nation avoided the carnage.
-
Nvidia (NVDA) down -26%
-
Tesla (TSLA) down -50%
-
Bitcoin (BTC) down -26%
-
Nasdaq (QQQ) down -13%
Meanwhile, our subscribers were prepared:
-
We signaled SELL IBIT (Bitcoin ETF) on 2/12/25, locking in a +43.6% win since our buy signal in October 2024.
-
We exited QQQ on 2/27/25 and SPMO on 3/4/25—both wins that outperformed the S&P during our bullish call.
-
We positioned for Quad 4—issuing BUY SIGNALS for Gold (GLD), Treasuries (TLT), investment-grade credit (LQD), and AAA CLOs (CLOX) while shorting overhyped names like MSTR, JETS, and SMH.
Bottom Line: Quad 4 was coming, and we protected our subscribers.

A PROVEN RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Our Macro team led by Keith McCullough forecasts market trend changes using our proprietary GIP (Growth, Inflation, Policy) Model and Four-Quadrant Map.
In early February 2025, our GIP Model mapped the economy to #Quad4—when inflation and economic growth both slow, and volatility is highest. By late February, our models suggested that #Quad4 was sticking around longer than expected.
Accordingly—we pivoted our Macro call and prepared Hedgeye subscribers for the selloff.
Who else told you to get out before the drop?
Your financial advisor? CNBC? The “buy-the-dip” crew on X? At Hedgeye, we don’t guess. We don’t chase narratives. We follow the data—and act.
