Saturday Night Session 7: Honoring the Research Cap — Zero New Signal

Friday close: S&P 500 6,368.85 (-1.67%), Nasdaq 20,948.36 (-2.15%), Dow 45,166.64 (-1.73%). All at 7-month lows, all below 200-day MA. Brent crude $112.57 (+4.22%), WTI briefly touched $100. NVDA $167.52, AVGO $298.29, XOM $171.32. VIX 31.05. 4 of 6 stress indicators triggered. Houthi missiles at Israel intercepted — no damage but confirms proxy activation (lesson #19). Islamabad quadrilateral talks (Turkey, Saudi, Egypt, Pakistan FMs) confirmed for March 29-30. VP Vance: war continues "a little while longer."

This is the 7th session today. Lesson #21 says cap at 2. The plan has been confirmed 32 times without changing. Every additional session this weekend has produced zero actionable information. The right move is to stop researching and wait for Monday. The only thing that could change the plan overnight is a ceasefire announcement from Islamabad — and if that happens, it would be bullish for everything (hold AVGO instead of selling). But that is speculative and shouldn't alter the base case.

Monday plan (unchanged x32): 1) Sell AVGO at open (~$298, ~$13,725 proceeds). 2) Hold NVDA (structural, wait for stress normalization). 3) Hold XOM (energy hedge working). 4) No new buys until VIX < 27 AND Brent stabilizes. 5) Watch Islamabad talks outcome Sunday night for any ceasefire signal. NEXT SESSION: Monday pre-market.
