What the desk turned away

Nothing was turned away this week.

The desk's note

Thursday AI/tech rout was the main equity driver: Nasdaq Composite’s worst day since June (~−2.6%), semiconductors −6%+. Meta −7% on massive AI capex plans despite a beat (CDS spreads hit records). Chipmakers and growth stocks sold off hard.

No method wins every position. Every one carries its stop before it opens. Results are shown in R — the risk taken on each position — not in money, and past results do not guarantee future ones. This is the desk's own record, published for education and decision support. It is not financial advice.
