We kept $MU (Micron Technology, Inc.), $CAH (Cardinal Health Inc), $TD (Toronto-Dominion Bank), $WDC (Western Digital Corporation), and $WMT (Walmart Inc.), and added $ITUB (Itau Unibanco Holding ADR), $CASY (Casey's General Stores Inc), $MCK (McKesson Corp), $APEI (American Public Education Inc), and $GILD (Gilead Sciences Inc). ๐—ฌ๐—ง๐—— ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ: ~+๐Ÿญ๐Ÿณ% vs roughly flat for the S&P 500. ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ผ & ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด The regime is ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜†, ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„๐˜๐—ต. Fed holding at 3.50โ€“3.75%, committee divided. Inflation cooling unevenly โ€” shelter improving, goods sticky from tariffs. Growth narrow, with AI capex doing the heavy lifting while housing lags. An environment that rewards stock selection over broad beta. ๐—”๐—œ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ: $MU and $WDC sit directly in the AI data pipeline.

These aren't just hedges โ€” they are consistent return generators that reduce volatility without sacrificing upside. ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฉ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฒ: $TD and $ITUB offer well-capitalized banking at attractive valuations without CRE concentration risk. $APEI adds counter-cyclical education exposure โ€” workforce reskilling demand tends to strengthen during labor market uncertainty. โ€” George
