The Watch: Intelligence Brief
March 17, 2026
Why This Publication Exists
I will keep this brief because the numbers speak for themselves.
Guardian Research is up just about +40.9% year to date. The S&P 500 is down over 2% in the same period. My trailing twelve month return sits at +128.2%.
Screenshots of both figures are included above for full transparency. Every position, every entry, every exit has been documented in real time through the paid chat and in these pages since inception.
The Watch is not a tip sheet. It is an institutional-grade weekly intelligence brief covering macro, positioning, trade updates, signal detection, and original deep-dive research across small and mid-cap equities. Every Thursday, paid subscribers receive actionable content that most retail investors simply cannot access elsewhere at this price.
A NOTE ON PRICING
Paid subscription pricing is going up later this week. If you have been deliberating, now is the time to lock in the current rate before the increase takes effect. Existing paid subscribers are grandfathered in at their current price. More below.
This Week in The Watch
This is a longer edition. Capital markets served up a consequential week and there is too much to cover in abbreviated form. Inside you will find:
Macro overview and a read on the JPMorgan/Qualtrics debt deal collapse and what it signals about AI disruption bleeding from equity markets into credit. Full trade log for the week including a detailed pitch on a new high-conviction position that sits at the intersection of defense supply chains, industrial electrification, and advanced materials. An biotech condensed thesis distilling the most asymmetric biotech setup I have encountered in my years of investing. Short thesis summaries on stocks that could blow up your portfolio. Insider buying signals, an NAV update on DR.TO, and commentary on FNMA/FMCC and the cannabis rescheduling trade.
If you are not yet a paid subscriber, you are missing the substance behind the performance. Lock in before the price increase hits later this week.
