Evolution Over Time
The portfolio adapts to prevailing market conditions and cycle stages. For instance, in late-cycle phases, it may emphasize defensive positions or those benefiting from rising interest rates (e.g., TBT). The development of additional qualitative exit signals, such as “news at the high,” represents an evolution in its risk management strategy.
June 9, 2026: Portfolio now holding 5 positions: FUEL (+24.5%), XOM (+17.5%), TBT (slightly down), YPF (~flat), CMG (short, slightly profitable). FCX was stopped out as a false breakout (−$6.73/unit), reinforcing that copper breakouts remain difficult in the current breadth-challenged environment. Anderson signals that the balance of new opportunity is shifting toward the Short Watchlist rather than new long Mex Pete entries. [Source: 2026-06-09 Gann 16 Portfolio Update]
