The market had a choppy, uncertain day — tech stocks slid noticeably while the Dow edged up, gold jumped, and a weak jobs report (roughly half the new hires that economists expected) kept the mood cautious.

The dip-buyers had another solid session overall. The evolving version of that strategy quietly hit several profit targets in names like paint-maker Sherwin-Williams and credit-rating firm Moody's, while the peer-aware variant trimmed a few winners by hand. Their frozen cousin had a rougher ride — a large loss on a cybersecurity stock hurt — but still closed the day in the green on paper. Meanwhile, the options-momentum trader, which bets on sharp moves in either direction, remains the portfolio's biggest winner at nearly 29% up from the start, despite a messy mix of hits and stops today. On the losing end, the gold-versus-silver strategy is sitting on a painful unrealized loss as its gold position hasn't gone the way it hoped, and the inverse-rotation trader — which bets on falling markets — has quietly become the second-biggest drag, steadily bleeding as stocks refuse to cooperate.

All told, the overall portfolio crept a little higher, which feels like a reasonable outcome given how much noise there was in the world today.
