The live book · 27 held · 33 circling

What we hold. What we're circling.

As of 25 August 2026, we hold 27 names and are circling 33 more on the watchlist — each with its thesis, archetype and published kill line.

Held = on the book now; circling = on the watchlist under research. The scored picks are counted on the scoreboard (open commitments), and the forward theme-bets on forecasts (open bets).

On the record

The names we hold, and the reasoning behind every one.

Most books are a logo wall published a quarter late, if at all. This one is live and reasoned — ticker, conviction, archetype, theme, thesis, and the exact condition that would prove each one wrong, published the day it's decided.

Every claim here is dated and falsifiable — see how each one gets scored in public.

Every open name against its line

The red mark is the published kill line. The dot is where the name closed on 24 August 2026. Distance is drawn on a square-root scale, so the first two points of cushion take half the track and a name sitting on its line is legible; past 8% a name reads simply as well clear. A trigger written on weekly closes is graded on weekly closes, so a name trading through such a line mid-week reads as pending, not hit.

Held · the book

27

18 of the 60 names below already carry a verdict, and each is badged with it. A fired kill line ends the pick, not the coverage: the model keeps re-reading the name and the dossier keeps a current thesis, but the resolved pick is closed and counted on the scoreboard rather than on this board.

Common questions

Is this a real portfolio?
It's our live book on a paper account — the names we hold and are researching, each with a thesis and a published kill line. The value is in whether the reasoning holds up; see the scoreboard.
What's the difference between held and the watchlist?
Held names are on the book now; watchlist names are under active research — circling, not yet committed. Both are shown as names plus research attributes only.
How often does the book change?
Every name on the book — held, under research, or just exited — is re-read every trading day; across all 88 of them, none is more than 3 sessions behind. The wider 739-name coverage universe cycles behind the book rather than tracking it. The board here reflects the latest synced dossier status, and every name is dated, so the cadence is checkable name by name.
Why do some names show a resolved pick?
Because a fired kill line ends the pick, not the coverage. When a thesis is invalidated or plays out it is dated, scored and kept on the scoreboard — and the model carries on re-reading the name, so the dossier keeps a current thesis and the name stays on this board with its verdict badged.
