Returns 90d -2.8% 33% correct · 6 calls
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances. “% correct” is the share of those scored calls whose direction-aware return was positive at the horizon — in a rising market a bullish call is correct by default, so read it beside the market, not alone.
Scored calls
Every tracked call with at least one matured horizon: the rows behind the Returns

Long Dur Treasuries
bearish
Wealthion · video
The 30-year above 5% reflects stealth tightening and fiscal credibility concerns, and long-duration bonds face a structural ceiling on rally potential as government debt dynamics reset ranges higher, making them unattractive relative to short-end paper
“5% higher or higher on the 30-year is a big drag”
90d +1.7%

SPX
bearish
Wealthion · video
US equities represent ~70% of global market cap and are at valuation limits, making capital repatriation and rotation into cheaper overseas markets with higher dividend yields likely
“there is benefits in diversification…look for other equity markets that are much more attractive at least from a yield perspective”
90d -1.8%

2026-05-28
Private Credit
bearish
Wealthion · video
Private credit originated loans at low rates will face resets at higher rates in a weaker economy, risking credit defaults and forced liquidation of public market bonds, creating a slow-moving but potentially systemic credit event
“the marginal credit for the macro has come from a very narrow set”
90d -8.5%

2026-05-28
USTS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Two-year Treasuries offer attractive yield competitive with money markets and will outperform long-duration bonds in an economic slowdown because the Fed is more likely to cut than hike, limiting duration risk
“we favor short-term treasuries more so than long-term treasuries don't have the same sort of duration risk”
90d -0.3%

Commodities Broad
bullish
Wealthion · video
In a structurally higher inflation environment the traditional 60/40 portfolio is obsolete and commodities provide purchasing power protection that bonds cannot, warranting a shift in allocation
“the 60/40 portfolio probably doesn't make sense in the world that we're living in”
90d +2.6%

ENERGY
bearish
Wealthion · video
Oil needs to fall back to $70-75 to avoid a sharper economic downturn; sustained oil near $100 historically triggers recessions within 6-18 months, and the current consumer lacks the excess savings buffer that absorbed the 2022 shock
“oil has to come down back to $75 to avoid a more sharper downturn”
90d -10.4%
