Masters of the Universe — The ZEUS 2027 Preliminary Plan: Our Vision for Owning the Future

In the age of AI, the headlines never stop. However, for weeks, through this geopolitical crisis, I’ve been guiding subscribers through the chaos with humor, memes, and lots of charts, tables, and facts. Because the solution for fear is facts…and a good Ulysses pact for those times when being human is too much😉. Today I’m going to try something new. I’m going to try to run a quick screen for some incredible investing ideas for members, plus provide an edited mini-report from my Thursday night preliminary ZEUS 2027 brainstorming session. Plus economic and earnings updates, because fundamentally, the economy is what determines the shape of corrections. Without a recession, corrections are V-shaped Correction (that wasn’t a correction) is over. Thanks, Charlie! I thought that March 23rd was the bottom, and now I know it's March 30th! I thought the bottom was -8.9%, and it was -9.8%. Not a correction at all, just a "ferocious pullpack"😉 Last week, I Told You A 40% 12-Month Rally Was Justified And Historically Likely…But it would be front-loaded… …30% of the way there🥳 Suddenly, that fundamentally justified return potential doesn't seem so crazy, does it? 😉 WTRG is actually an AI play that no one sees, and I'll be pounding the table on it a bit later. In this 9.8% correction, the primary short sellers were hedge fund professionals. Retail investors and home offices like ours were following the math while the “masters of the universe” were being too cute, and believing their own BS stories about how this war would end in a far more exciting fashion, with $200 crude, and a 20% growth scare bear market. Nope, the math never said that was likely, so the “pros” got it wrong again, while the smart money is now the average retail investor. Congrats on being promoted to the “smart money” on Wall Street, everyone😉You earned i!🥳 Of course, now that the correction is over, it means the fear mongers will be back talking about a “double dip correction” or a brand new one. A bear market, because you know the world is a scary place. China Attacks Taiwan = 1.5X Great Recession and kills the age of AI in the West. China would be hit hardest (other than Taiwan), and its leaders are NOT insane…they have the same AI that we do…(4 to 6 months behind) and so their leaders are not likely to nuke themselves. But if you want to know what keeps me up at night? This. This is why ZEUS is never 100% stocks, even with FCF growth of 18%. How Can You Protect Against A Low Probability But Potential Global Depression? With Math! Really Great Math😉 But basically, if you come to me and ask, “Adam, I just saw that America started bombing Iran, what does that mean? The answer is this question “Is the age of AI over? Are robots no longer the future? Because if any headline doesn’t threaten the age of AI, which is driving the economy and corporate profit growth, then “this too shall pass”. Only the literal apocalypse or China attacking Taiwan and wiping out the chip fabs is a game-changer. Connor is working on a GNG hedging engine that uses volatility option collars. EVERY single stock and ETF would have option collars that would go up if the price shoots higher, and up even faster if the price collapses. Over time the goal is option hedging that’s free (pays for itself across the portfolio). AND generates downside protection that’s “super human”. 1.7% peak decline over 4 years on a 42% CAGR portfolio = 25 Calmar ratio Calmar ratio = total return/peak decline. ZEUS was built with spreadsheets, Ycharts, and Portfolio Visualizer Slide Rule! We went to the moon using slide rules! Now we live in the age of AI! So what can we do with the best mathematicians, engineers, and coders in our pockets?😉 With option volatility collars, you can drop bonds, managed futures, and shorts. It’s perfect hedging on everything you own and potentially 10X better reward/risk. The math behind building this kind of
