November 6 trades: purchases in three stocks, a sale in one
Correction (November 9, 2026): The original issue listed two purchases in the AI allocation. We updated the session's stock trades to purchases in three names and a sale in one. The original decision record and performance figures are unchanged.
The account bought three stocks and sold one on Nov. 6. This issue separates those trades from the growth prospects and risks behind two earlier purchase decisions. The decision record also notes a daily cap on new purchases without specifying its size.
Update (November 9, 2026): We clarified the scope of the day's stock trades and distinguished them from the pre-trade decisions.
Date covered: 2026-11-06 (US trading day). The comparison point is the pre-trade decisions of 11/5. This is a record of decisions made with the company's own funds. It is not an instruction to trade or an investment recommendation for readers. Order details such as quantities and prices are not published.

Update and correction (2026-11-07): We restructured the article so the reasons for the purchases come first, and clarified the scope of the fill-record check, the Core allocation's capital split, and how performance is compared. We corrected the Vontier source name from the "July–September quarter" to the "third quarter ended 10/2." This source-name correction is specific to Vontier; the other source descriptions retain their original period labels. The counts of pre-trade decisions and saved fills, the evaluation and research figures, and the performance figures as first published are unchanged.
