Guardian Research

my highest conviction position

A breakdown of my single highest conviction long, plus a 13F most people read wrong and a compounder I think doubles from here.

Quick housekeeping first. The Watch isn’t running on a fixed weekly schedule anymore. I’ll send it when something in the market actually moves me, not because the calendar says a certain day. Real-time portfolio moves keep flowing in the chat exactly like before, so if you’re paid you never miss a trade. We are active in it daily.

Behind the paywall today: a full write-up on the one name I put serious money behind, a software business priced like the story’s over while the people who’d buy it are circling. A read on a 13F most people skimmed and waved off, where I think the position worth a closer look got lost in the sauce. A biotech I already own that just turned up in some genuinely sharp funds. And a commercial real estate compounder I think doubles from here, with the target and the math behind it.

What Makes Guardian Different

Multi-strategy and market cap agnostic. The work goes wherever the opportunity is, from under-followed small caps to large, liquid names, blending longer-term positions with shorter-term trades. I go where the return is.

One good idea in here pays for the year. The live portfolio, the alerts, and the chat all sit on the other side of this.
