The method

The reclusive contrarian: skips the meetings, stares at the data, and is most uncomfortable when everyone else is comfortable. Takes the deepest Cool-regime, broken-trend names the screener reads as Strong Bearish confluence — but not one already washed out (RSI under 25) or squeezing (a one-day jump of 10% or more this month, or up 8% in a week), and for stocks only when the filings do not rescue it. One name per sector, never two that move together; lets the tape do the talking.

Outlook · November 2026

188 assets read bearish confluence tonight, and the crowd is not looking at them. I take the deepest Cool regimes with a broken trend and accept being early — being early looks exactly like being wrong until it doesn't.
