OFFICIAL RESULTS for March are in! I finished March with an -11.91% return, bringing my YTD performance to -31.55%. I know exactly what I own and why. And I’m feeling more confident than ever that 2026 is going to be my fourth straight year on the USIC leaderboard. The best thing about being down bigly in Q1, is that when I’m up bigly later this year, you’ll know it’s real. Thanks for your support. HAGE 🍻

De-risking and deleveraging remain the major theme. Let’s take a deeper look under the hood. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. HAGE
