Combined portfolio
$1,888,815
-$12,185 (-0.64%) vs. start of test

Markets ended the week on an uneasy note — not a dramatic sell-off, but a quiet drift lower, with tech stocks slipping while the broader market stayed roughly flat. A lot of noise in the background: oil near $110 a barrel, tensions flaring across the Middle East, and fresh tariff threats from Washington kept things jittery even if prices didn't swing wildly.

The dip-buyers had another solid day and remain the clear bright spots in the experiment. Both the evolving and peer-aware versions of that strategy are sitting on gains above 8% for the year — patient, methodical, and rewarded for it so far. The day trader, meanwhile, cleared out a stack of positions that had simply run out of time, booking small losses across the board. On the struggling end, the gold-silver strategy and the inverse-tech rotator continue to weigh on the overall portfolio, both down well into double digits since the start.

All told, the fleet lost about $12,000 today — a modest dip on a week that felt bigger than the numbers suggest.
