Something Big Is Coming (7 Days Out)

Today starts a 7-day countdown to something I’ve never done publicly before.

Most people talk about investing from the sidelines.
They post hindsight charts.
They brag about wins without showing their entries.
They tell you what they “would’ve bought.”
They sell confidence built on guesswork.

I’m done watching that game.

For the first time ever, I’m building a fully transparent, real-money portfolio in public — one you can watch evolve every single week.

No hype.
No mystery.
No hindsight.

Just disciplined, asymmetric investing — the same way I approached HIMS @ $8, SOFI @ $5, PLTR @ $26, LMND @ $31, CIFR @ $2.96, ONDS @ $1.74, and IREN @ $5.97 before the narratives flipped.

Not because I’m smarter than anyone else.
Because I spent years doing things the wrong way… until I finally learned how to do them right.

What My First Entries Actually Did

Everyone loves to talk about percent gains.
But nobody shows you what the dollars actually look like.

Here are my actual first-buy receipts — no cherry-picking, no rewritten history:

  • HIMS — $8.36 → +722% (ATH) = $6,036 profit

  • SOFI — $5.84 → +452% (ATH) = $2,638 profit

  • PLTR — $26.58 → +679% (ATH) = $9,022 profit

  • LMND — $31.31 → +485% (ATH) = $4,555 profit

  • ONDS — $1.74 → +785% (ATH) = $6,830 profit

  • CIFR — $2.96 → +762% (ATH) = $11,262 profit

  • IREN — $5.97 → +1,161% (ATH) = $17,328 profit

These weren’t lucky lotto tickets.
They were mispriced stories the market hadn’t caught up to yet.

Now here’s the part most people won’t say out loud:

If you had only mirrored my first entries — nothing fancy, just the initial buys —
you would’ve invested ~$7,529… and at ATH, those positions were worth ~$65,200.

That’s $57,671 in profit from first entries alone.

Now layer this on top:

  • A Premium subscription at $14.99/month for 4 years costs $719.52 total.

  • Your “cost of alpha” would’ve been about 1.25% of the total gain.

  • For every $1 spent on the subscription, the portfolio would’ve returned about $80.14.

That’s the math.
Not backtests.
Not slides.
Actual trades.

The Alpha 40k Portfolio Is Now Live (For 7 Days Only)

The Alpha Framework Portfolio page is now public — but only for the next 7 days.

After that, it goes private and becomes available only to Alpha Premium members.

Here is the dashboard:

Inside, you'll see:

  • Full portfolio allocation

  • Real-time unrealized P&L

  • Core vs optionality positions

  • Sector weights

  • This week’s moves

  • Notes on why I sized things the way I did

No Photoshop.
No hindsight backtest.
Just what’s actually on the page right now.

Upgrade to Alpha Premium — Founding Members keep $14.99/mo or $150/yr permanently.

A quick note on how I express conviction

For anyone wondering how this framework translates into actual positioning:

I run two live portfolios that reflect two very different parts of my thinking.

The Black Sheep Base Case Portfolio is exactly what it sounds like — core positioning for how I expect the broader market to resolve when structure matters more than headlines.

The Alpha Framework Portfolio is different.

That’s where I take long-term swings on smaller companies I believe can materially outperform over full cycles — names that usually look wrong before they look obvious.

A few past examples from that framework:

  • HIMS — $8.36 → +722% (ATH)

  • SOFI — $5.84 → +452% (ATH)

  • PLTR — $26.58 → +679% (ATH)

  • LMND — $31.31 → +171% (ATH)

  • ONDS — $1.74 → +532% (ATH)

  • CIFR — $2.96 → +762% (ATH)

  • IREN — $5.97 → +1,161% (ATH)

No alerts.
No perfection.
A lot of patience.

That’s not a promise — it’s just context for how I think and how I size risk.

Why This Week Matters

For the next 7 days:

  • The Alpha Framework Portfolio is public

  • The Requests page is open

  • New premium features are rolling out

After that, the doors close and everything becomes Premium-only.

If you’re tired of noise…
If you want real receipts…
If you’re ready for clarity, structure, and transparency…

Then use this window.

Seven days.
Then the window closes.
