TickerNameCloseActionAction Price Where to act — a buy-limit on a pullback or a buy-stop above resistance, not the current price. Sanity-check vs Close: on a held name, an action price stranded above the close means the queued level was set when the stock was higher — stale, awaiting reprice. Stop The risk-defined exit, set below the entry for a long (~1.2–1.8×ATR). A held long whose Stop sits at/above the Close is already below its stop — a stale box awaiting reprice. 1wk Model estimate of the likely price at this horizon — a forward projection, not a guarantee, and separate from the trade's Action Price or Stop. Where the ML estimator is enabled these are per-ticker calibrated forecasts (~80% coverage band) that are refreshed periodically and can drift between refreshes; otherwise they're interpolated from the signal's swing target. Confirm against the settled close. 4wk Model estimate of the likely price at this horizon — a forward projection, not a guarantee, and separate from the trade's Action Price or Stop.

AXPAmerican Express Co320.71SELL 50%320.71317.92316.44 (-1.3%)306.47 (-4.4%)278.03 (-13.3%)American Express keeps grinding lower: the shares closed at, below every major moving average including the 200-day at, and the model's 12-week view of implies a further 13% downside. The valuation work marks it OVERVALUED on a residual-income basis, and while the business is fine - Q2 revenue grew 19% and management still guides to 10% full-year growth - the chart has been broken for months and credit-quality questions are building. We are cutting half the position and keeping the rest, rather than defending a name the market has marked down for a quarter. Trend-exit basis (close below EMA200 + negative 12wk), NOT the conviction floor: tonight's engine label flipped to a bullish ReversalUp_Oversold at cv57, which does not clear 65 and whose |sell cell has n=1. Portion held at 50% because the reversal setup argues against a full cut. 7th consecutive ask (L3/US-1); the six prior cards never executed - executor blocked since 2026-08-18. Stop on the 17,330-sh remainder held at (never lower a trail). Engine printed Target_Price ABOVE the close on this row - a long-side target, not the exit path; 4wk time-scaled from the 12wk instead. · news
DALDelta Air Lines Inc78.24SELL ALL78.2478.2476.63 (-2.1%)72.87 (-6.9%)62.12 (-20.6%)We are exiting Delta completely. The stock has closed below our risk line for seven straight sessions, the position is 15.6% underwater, and the model's 12-week view of implies another 21% of downside. The reason is fuel: management flagged a $4bn increase in 2026 fuel costs and second-quarter fuel expense was up 77% year-on-year, the highest quarterly fuel bill in the airline's history. Delta has reaffirmed full-year guidance and raised its dividend 15%, but a stock the market marks lower through good guidance and into a crude-oil shock is telling a different story than its income statement. Basis L2 (decisive stop-break + negative 12wk) on four consecutive NO TRADE prints; `NoTrade|sell` bias +0 (n=57). 7th consecutive ask - the six prior full-exit cards never filled (executor blocked). Action price is the anchor close; the row prints no Entry_Price. Drop the stop from the monitor after the fill. · news
MCOMoody's Corp467.36SELL 50%467.36450.30465.33 (-0.4%)460.58 (-1.5%)447.04 (-4.3%)Moody's has broken down and the news now agrees with the chart. The stock closed at, 5.4% below our risk line and for the first time decisively under its 200-day average, and the 12-week view has flipped negative. Peer S&P Global's weak 2026 outlook knocked the whole ratings-and-analytics group lower, Moody's itself trimmed 2026 operating-margin guidance to 44-45%, and it has just put the business-development-company sector on negative outlook - a direct read-through to the private-credit issuance that drives its own revenue. It is a high-quality business (3rd best quality rank in this book) but marked OVERVALUED, so we halve rather than exit. Escalated exactly as promised on the 09-09 card: close stayed below and the 12wk stayed negative (-1.26% -> -4.35%). Basis is L2 + EMA200 break, not the conviction floor - `RallySell_BearTrend|sell` is the book's worst cell at -8 (n=15, hit.077), which haircuts cv52 to 44 and is why the portion is 50%, not the engine's 88.5%. Stop on the 2,502-sh remainder RE-BASED -> (close - 1.5 ATR), earned by the cut and conditional on the fill. Engine printed Target_Price ABOVE the close on an AVOID row again - 4wk time-scaled from the 12wk. · news
AAPLApple Inc326.57HOLD314.62n/an/a337.00Apple is off the danger list. It jumped 3.6% to, the best session in the book, and now sits 3.8% clear of our risk line with a positive 12-week view - a week ago it was 0.2% above the line with the forward view flat. The 09-Sep iPhone 18 Pro / foldable launch has been digested constructively. Largest position in the book at; EXIT ARMED status lifted, label back to HOLD cv78. Trail held at (engine's is lower). Not profit-armed (Gain_ATR 2.09). Valuation GROWTH_PRICED_IN MoS -2.97 - no sell origination from valuation.
KHCKraft Heinz Co24.39HOLD24.87n/an/a22.94Kraft Heinz now qualifies for a trim on our rules - second straight close below the risk line, a negative 12-week view and the shares slipping under their 200-day average - but it lost the third disposal slot to names that are bleeding harder. The backdrop is weak: the new CEO has shelved the planned break-up, 2026 earnings are set to fall ~21%, and the listing moves to the NYSE on 14-Sep. NEAR-MISS #2, first deferral. Break is the shallowest legitimate L2 in the book (-1.93%, 12wk -5.95%, position only -3.86% underwater). exposure. ESCALATE to a carded trim on the next EOD if it stays below.
LLYVKLiberty Live Group Ser C96.85HOLD98.69n/an/a83.91Liberty Live Series C has qualified for a trim on our rules for four sessions running - below the risk line with a 12-week view 13% under the current price - and has been crowded out of the disposal slots every time by larger bleeds. No fundamental news; the valuation model can't price it (negative), so this is a technical call only. NEAR-MISS #3, FOURTH consecutive deferral - the clearest evidence yet for the <=3 slot cap being wrong for this book (systemic finding 8). exposure; deferral cost to date PROMOTE to a carded exit next EOD ahead of everything except a fresh larger bleed.
GOOGLAlphabet Inc Cl A332.60HOLD333.68n/an/a282.64Alphabet is held through its 16-Sep ad-tech court deadline rather than sold into it. The shares recovered 0.6% to and the aggressive sell signal from the previous session has already faded to neutral, so there is no confirmed breakdown to act on - only a 0.3% graze of our risk line. Doctrine is to hold or trail through a binary legal event absent a decisive break. Catalyst-aware hold; still above EMA200. 12wk -15.02%. RE-ARM: a decisive close below AFTER 16-Sep, or a confirmed lower high.
GOOGAlphabet Inc Cl C330.39HOLD320.20n/an/a278.98Same treatment as the Class A shares: held through the 16-Sep ad-tech deadline. Not below its risk line, sell signal already faded to neutral, and the shares rose 0.6% on the session. exposure. RE-ARM with GOOGL.
OXYOccidental Petroleum Corp61.16HOLD58.47n/an/a68.46Occidental is held and trailed. Up 25% on our cost with a 12-week view 12% higher, it is the book's second-best forward view behind Chevron and the energy exposure that has been carrying the portfolio. Profit-armed at Gain_ATR 7.95 with no deterioration tick - conviction is a 6-point drift, not the 20 required, and the forward view is alive. Trail held at (engine's is lower).
VRSNVeriSign Inc288.85HOLD280.81n/an/a294.73VeriSign is held with a tight leash. Conviction is improving and the position is 12.6% in profit, but the 12-week view is now almost exactly level with the current price, which means the model sees no further upside from here. Profit-armed at Gain_ATR 4.39; tick (c) is razor-thin for the second session running - 12wk vs the dead line, alive by. RE-ARM: any close below or any 12wk print under fires a 30% profit-take.
KOCoca-Cola Co87.83HOLD86.81n/an/a91.00Coca-Cola is held. Conviction recovered from and the 12-week view is modestly positive, but the stock is expensive on our valuation work, which is why we withdrew the planned top-up last session rather than reinstating it. Re-armed at Gain_ATR 3.00 (exactly the threshold); no deterioration tick - conviction rose 13 points. Trail held at.
NUENucor Corp255.46HOLD248.53n/an/a265.22Nucor is held. 15.7% in profit with a positive 12-week view; the model went neutral tonight but one quiet print is not a reason to cut a winner. Profit-armed at Gain_ATR 4.66; NO TRADE counter resets to 1, so the 2-consecutive-print tick does not fire. Trail held at.
BACBank of America Corp62.56HOLD61.28n/an/a65.19Bank of America is held. Second-largest position at, 4% in profit with a positive 12-week view and a steady neutral-to-constructive signal - nothing to act on either way. Not profit-armed (Gain_ATR 2.22). Trail held at.
DVADaVita Inc181.33HOLD169.18n/an/a128.34DaVita has the worst forward view in the book - the model sees 29% downside over 12 weeks - and the position is 22.8% underwater, but it is not below its risk line (6.7% of headroom) and there is no active sell signal, so none of our three sell triggers fires. Half was already cut on 05-Aug. Valuation MoS -3.41 is extreme, but valuation alone never originates a sell (CLAUDE.md S9) and there is no early Exit_Warning code to elevate. Watch the line.
COFCapital One Financial Corp207.11HOLD210.24n/an/a206.49Capital One is a borderline case we are leaving alone. It closed 1.5% below the risk line and the 12-week view has just crossed to negative - but only by 0.3%, which is inside the noise. Not decisive enough to act on. exposure. Watch for the 12wk to deepen or a second decisive close below.
ALLYAlly Financial Inc42.17HOLD41.63n/an/a36.78Ally is held. Last session's sell signal has already faded to neutral, the shares rose 0.8%, they are above their risk line, and our valuation work marks the stock UNDERVALUED - which under our rules argues any eventual trim down a size tier, not up. exposure.
NYTNew York Times Co Cl A66.57HOLD64.15n/an/a54.31The New York Times prints a sell signal but not a strong enough one to act on: after the haircut we apply to this signal family - which has been right only 8% of the time in this book - it falls well short of our action threshold. The shares are also still above their risk line. exposure, 12wk -18.42%. Watch.
KRKroger Co56.95HOLD54.87n/an/a50.13Kroger prints a sell signal that falls below our action threshold after the family haircut, and the position is worth - too small to be worth a ticket. Valuation marks it UNDERVALUED, which argues down a tier anyway. Sell_Rank #4.
LEN-BLennar Corp Cl B76.56HOLD81.78n/an/a61.33Lennar Class B carries the single strongest sell signal in the entire book - a 52-week breakdown at very high conviction, with the model seeing 20% more downside - and we cannot act on it because the position is worth Sell_Rank #1, adj conviction 86, uncapped by any scorecard haircut (cell is report-only, n=2). Flagged as systemic finding 7.
LENLennar Corp Cl A77.90HOLD82.64n/an/a61.89Same as the Class B shares: second-strongest sell signal in the book, 12-week view 21% lower, worth Sell_Rank #2, adj conviction 82. Not actionable on size.
STZConstellation Brands Cl A123.81HOLD128.36n/an/a94.38Constellation clears our action threshold on a strengthening sell signal (adj 76) and has a 12-week view 24% below the current price, but the holding is worth Sell_Rank #3. Not actionable on size.
NVRNVR Inc6088.28HOLD6105.18n/an/a5374.00NVR falls just below our action threshold after the family haircut and the position is. Sell_Rank #5, exposure.
MMacy's Inc20.50HOLD22.49n/an/a16.15Macy's is the deepest break of a risk line in the book - 8.9% below, with the model seeing 21% more downside - and the position is worth below any sensible ticket size. Confusingly the engine also prints a high-conviction oversold-bounce label on the same row. Immaterial either way.
SIRISirius XM Holdings Inc28.88HOLD27.96n/an/a26.99Sirius XM is held. The shares rose 1.2%, the signal is neutral, and the constructive case from the 02-Sep Deutsche Bank upgrade - first positive self-pay subscriber additions in four years, record-low churn - still stands. exposure.
LLYVALiberty Live Group Ser A93.38HOLD91.97n/an/a80.82Liberty Live Series A is held. Unlike the Series C shares it is still 1.5% above its risk line, so no trim trigger fires. exposure; 12wk -13.45%. Watch the line.
