Goldilocks at 67% with oil as the fragile pillar. Here is the full allocation: equity tilts, fixed income positioning, energy overweight, NVDA trim, duration hedge. Every line connects to the current regime. Every number is a decision, not a framework.

Exxon at $99 Oil: The Trade That Looks Obvious Is the One That Isn'tMarch 20, 2026 · Powered by MARY
Oil is up 46% in 20 days. Energy is the best-performing sector by a wide margin. The consensus says own XOM. But at 3.16% FCF yield, 58.8% reinvestment rate, and a stock near 52-week highs, the obvious trade is priced in. The question isn't whether oil is going up. It's whether XOM is the right way to own it.

NVIDIA: Still a Regime Winner or Now a Duration Trade?March 19, 2026 · Powered by MARY
NVIDIA's fundamentals are exceptional. 73% revenue growth, 51% FCF margins, 88% ROIC. But at 2.4 beta and real yields at 2.30%, this is a stock that trades like a long-duration asset. The question isn't whether NVIDIA is a great company. It's whether this is the regime to own it.

Microsoft vs Alphabet: Who Owns the AI Monetization Layer?March 19, 2026 · Powered by MARY
Both companies are spending aggressively on AI. Only one is converting that spend into cash. MSFT trades at 20.7x forward earnings with 17.6% FCF margins. GOOGL trades at 22.8x with 9.5% FCF margins. The market is paying more for the company that's monetizing less. That's the mispricing.

JPMorgan Chase: Are Banks Cheap or Value Traps in a Higher-for-Longer World?March 19, 2026 · Powered by MARY
JPM trades at 12.2x forward earnings and 2.26x book — a premium to peers but a discount to the market. The question isn't whether JPM is a good bank. It's whether the macro regime that made banks look cheap is the same one that makes their earnings fragile. We walk through the full banking framework: NIM, ROTCE, deposit beta, fee diversification, credit cycle, and regime sensitivity.

Regime-Aware Allocation for a Family OfficeMarch 3, 2026 · Powered by MARY
A strategic asset allocation is an unconditional portfolio — the right portfolio averaged across all regimes. The problem is that regimes are not equally distributed, and the cost of a drawdown is not symmetric with the benefit of an equivalent gain.
