▲ Current month through today; return measured from the Jan 22, 2026 entry. Monthly figures are shown only for months we tracked and published daily — our daily archive begins 15 April 2026, so Jan–Mar are marked — rather than estimated. Every figure shown is an actual, live result reconciled against the closing book. No backtests, no hypotheticals, no filled-in gaps.
Risk Disclosure
Safe Growth is not an unleveraged book: it holds TMF (3x long Treasuries) and NUGT (2x gold miners). Leveraged ETFs reset daily and can lose value over time even when the underlying index is flat or higher. 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 and reconciled against the closing book. Our published daily archive begins 15 April 2026; for months before that we show no monthly figure rather than an estimate. We show no backtested or hypothetical returns. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Data claims are dated as of publication.
Safe Growth firmed +0.5% today to $1,728 a unit, measured open to open against yesterday's update. That trims the July loss to 0.6% and leaves the book about 10.0% under our January 22 entry. Metals and bitcoin led the book while a few large-cap growth names cooled.
NUGT led the book, ripping 5.3% higher as gold miners rebounded — the day's single biggest contribution — with MSTR up 3.6% on firmer bitcoin and ETN grinding 0.7% higher as industrial and power demand stayed firm. XLE and EWW each added 1.0% on steadier energy. The drag was concentrated in large-cap growth: NVDA gave back 2.4% after its recent run, with INDA off 0.8% and PPA and URA fractionally lower. Net +0.5% on the day — metals and bitcoin did the work while the infrastructure core held firm.
No trades in Safe Growth. This is the steady book by design. ETN and PPA anchor the infrastructure and defense core, XLE and URA carry energy and commodities, NUGT is our 2x leveraged gold-miner position — an aggressive commodity expression, not ballast, and down sharply since entry — and NVDA and MSTR tie us to AI and bitcoin. On a day when growth wobbled, energy and metals steadied the book, which is exactly the two-way balance the spread is built for. Holding the full slate.
