Summary
The August 4, 2026 Mex Pete Model Portfolio PDF documents the portfolio’s reactivation after the 34-day zero-position drought: two new long positions — AME (Ametek) entered 05.08.2026 at 233.00) and IEFA (iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF) entered 05.08.2026 at 97.00) — now sit as positions #1 and #2. Simultaneously, the PLTR short is closed: the sheet records “Stop triggered” with price out **135.00 stop — for a realized P&L of **−107.27 short entry (the sheet’s per-unit column shows −135 stop level). This is the largest single-trade loss on the documented sheet, exceeding UMBF’s −$14.24. [Source: PSE, Mex-Pete-Model-Portfolio-August-04-2026]

Correction to Prior Record
Earlier wiki entries (Gann #26 source page, mex-pete-model-portfolio July–August snapshot log) described the PLTR short as “in profit” while PLTR traded between 135 and as crystallising “~107.27 loses money at any price above 107.27. The PDF's own P&L column confirms the loss (−55.39 at the actual 27.73 measured at the $135 stop). PLTR was underwater for essentially its entire life as a trade.

Emma’s Analysis
This sheet is the hard confirmation of the regime change flagged in Gann 26a: the PSE system went from one losing short and 34 days of cash to two fresh longs in a single session. The PLTR exit deserves attention beyond the headline — the 135 stop is a 20% gap-through, a live demonstration of gap risk on shorting high-beta AI names into earnings, and it converts what the emails soft-pedalled as a routine stop-out into the largest documented loss on the sheet (−51.6% against entry). Within the 18.6-Year Real Estate Cycle lens, the rotation is coherent: the sole late-cycle short expression is gone, replaced by a domestic industrial breakout (AME, all-time highs) and the DXY-weakness international rotation (IEFA) — exactly the “final leg up” posture of the Winner’s Curse Phase, where Anderson’s own read (Gann #25: a tradable US low is likely in for the year) argues for riding strength into the 2026 land-cycle peak rather than fading it. Watch the 97 stops: with both entries at breakout highs, failed breakouts would put the portfolio straight back in cash. [Source: PSE, Mex-Pete-Model-Portfolio-August-04-2026]
