Scenario Analysis
Three Paths Forward
How today's themes resolve into probable outcomes by year-end. As of July 7, 2026.
Bull Case
The 1940s Replay
Warsh cuts into the diffusion phase. AI's benefits feed the broad economy — value stocks, small caps, wages. Nominal growth runs hot and deficits shrink relative to the economy. The 1940s playbook, replayed.
S&P 8,200+
Small caps +40%
10-yr → 3.5%
Gold $5,000+
Probability: 40%
Base Case
Boom with Digestion
The AI trade digests its punches — capex scrutiny, token budgets, the memory wobble — while diffusion quietly broadens the bull market underneath. Warsh eases into it. Choppy at the top, strong beneath the surface.
S&P 7,800–8,000
Small caps +20%
10-yr → 3.8%
Gold $4,500
Probability: 45%
Risk Case
Capex Air Pocket
The punches land. Enterprise AI spend disappoints, the concentration at the top unwinds, and Korea-style corrections spread to U.S. semis. Forced selling, dollar bid — and cash gets deployed at the prices of the cycle.
S&P −15% then V
Semis lead down
Dollar bid
Gold holds $4,000+
Probability: 15%

The Portfolios
Where the Analysis Becomes Action
Pro Perspectives gives you the macro framework — the themes, the catalysts, the scenarios. The portfolios give you the positions. Bryan identifies the specific stocks that benefit from these themes, tells you when to buy, and tells you when to sell. Two portfolios, two strategies, both built on the same big-picture thinking you read in these daily notes.
