Past bets that played out

Notable calls include a rotation out of oil ahead of a selloff and a planned re-entry into oil producers if WTI crude stabilizes around ~$82, arguing producers are oversold despite likely record Q2 profits. Also flagged near-term defensive planning for DeFi teams as a risk-off signal.
