Today = vs the Sep 2 published unit ($1,376). Live opening marks (Fri, near the open ~8:00 MDT); daily move is vs Wednesday's (Sep 2) published update (Thursday's build was never sent, so this spans two sessions); September MTD starts from Monday Aug 31's official month-end close. September MTD vs Aug 31 close ($1,457.64). Sessions before Jul 14 reflect the prior book; the current holdings were established at the Jul 14 open.
Baseline note (Sep 4): today’s move is measured against the Sep 2 published update ($1,376) — Thursday's build was never sent to investors, so this move spans two trading sessions, not one. September MTD is measured against the Aug 31 official month-end close of $1,458 for the current whole-share model. August is locked closed in the monthly table at +15.35%.

▲ Current month through today; July and August 2026 are locked closed; return measured from the Jan 22, 2026 entry. * Jan–Mar 2026 are estimated partial-period returns carried from our May 2026 updates; they predate our daily archive (begins 15 April 2026) and are shown as estimates, not as-published daily marks. Apr–Aug cells are locked closed from official month-end closes; close-basis restatement pending the anchor review. No backtests, no hypotheticals. Units are price-return; dividends are not accrued.
High Risk is marked at $1,531 on the current whole-share model, +11.2% versus Wednesday's published update (again, a two-session move since Thursday's build never sent). August locked closed at +15.35% for the month on the performance chain (track record table below); September is +5.5% so far, and 2026 YTD is -6.5%.
Same jobs-report story as Safe Growth: August nonfarm payrolls beat sharply (+162,000 vs 50-58,000 consensus), unemployment steady at 4.1% — a real contrast to Wednesday's weak ADP print, and the kind of data that argues for a September rate hike rather than relief, with the Fed now in blackout until the Sep 16 decision.
BE (+16.6%) leads the book over the two sessions, with MSTR (+15.2%) close behind on bitcoin's continued climb and the rest of the sleeve broadly higher too. No portfolio change today. NBIS's $4.5 billion convertible note raise from last week remains a dilution item worth watching over time, not an urgent one.
Bottom line: HR is up +11.2% over the past two sessions, but today's strong jobs print is the real test of whether this rally can hold against a Fed that now has more room to hike, not less.

Risk Disclosure
High Risk holds leveraged and crypto-linked positions: SOXL (3x semiconductors) and TQQQ (3x Nasdaq-100) reset daily and can lose value over time even when the underlying index is flat or higher — they can lose value fast. MSTR carries leverage and direct bitcoin exposure. This is our model book, shared for transparency — it is not individualized investment advice, and position sizing reflects our risk tolerance, not yours. Every performance figure on this page is an actual, live result measured from the Jan 22, 2026 entry. Apr–Aug monthly cells are locked closed from official month-end closes; a close-basis restatement is pending the anchor review. Our published daily archive begins 15 April 2026; Jan–Mar 2026 monthly cells are estimated partial-period returns (marked *) carried from our May 2026 updates, shown as estimates rather than as-published daily marks. We show no backtested or hypothetical returns. Units are price-return; dividends are not accrued. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Data claims are dated as of publication.
