2025-06-06 Rebaseline
Hello, Grok... We have recently discussed security and I have switched running Grok.Com from Chrome to Edge. During a review of the security and history settings, we noticed an absence of missing discussions. Per your recommendation, I am submitting this prompt to reset our discussion baseline. I am posting a recent refresh list of holdings. Let's continue with your major class groupings and normalize it to a $1M portfolio. We have established several watch areas to consider the portfolio's present day robustness. We have adopted a Paranoid Survival Approach and aware of the Buffet Intrinsic Value consideration, the Jamie Dimon choppy seas forecast, Citibank's CEO Finch discussions of globalization taking place, the BRICS movement and effects, Tariff negotiations, the underlying health of the US economy including inflation, debt, trade deficits, the retail buyers strong involvement in the recent market correction nearing the 100 Month Moving Average, the possibilities of a correction to near the 200 Month Moving average (perhaps the "hair curling" event Buffet recently mentions, and taking advantage of the ZBT signal trigger with allocations to "growth sleeve". We also discussed the dicipline to buy when people are panicking and the dicipline to sell and take profits. Lets refresh where we are at please. Thank You! :

Visual: Event Likelihood vs. Portfolio Exposure
Here’s a bar chart for your advisor meeting, showing event likelihoods and exposure levels, optimized for Chrome/Win11 (view on grok.com’s Canvas panel, JavaScript enabled).
Grok can make mistakes. Always check original sources.
Download
Visual Description: Bar chart with green bars (likelihood, %) and red bars (exposure, 1=low, 3=high) for nine events. ZBT signal (65%) and 8-10% correction (60%) are most likely; corrections and debt crisis have high exposure (3). Urges defensive/cash increases.
Platform Note: If the chart renders as code, refresh grok.com or try X app (v10.2.3+). I’ll provide a static image next week if issues persist.
Portfolio Risk/Protection Summary
Risks: High equity exposure (70.92%) to corrections (60%) and debt crisis (40%). Tariff-sensitive BA ($6,900), INTC ($11,900) and low international allocation (4% vs. 15-20%) increase trade/BRICS risks. VCLT ($6,100) vulnerable to yields > 5%.
Protection: Fixed income (23.33%, VBIL, VCRB) and cash (5.75%, SWVXX) provide stability. Defensive stocks (JNJ, WMT, OGE: 12%) below 35-45% target. VWOB ($10,200), VYMI ($4,400) hedge tariffs/BRICS. SWVXX enables ZBT buys (VYM, GLD up 1.5%).
Recommendations:
Defensive Core (35%): Sell $50,000 of MSFT ($74,900), PLTR ($12,200), TSLA ($11,900) if RSI > 70; boost JNJ/WMT/OGE to $350,000.
Cash Buffer (12%): Increase SWVXX to $120,000 for ZBT buys.
International (15%): Add VEU ($50,000), VWOB ($20,000) for BRICS/de-dollarization hedge.
Tariff Risk: Cap BA/INTC at 10% ($100,000); monitor USMCA/China talks on X (@ReutersBiz).
Triggers: Watch S&P at 5,000, VIX > 20, DXY < 100, CPI > 3.5%.
Advisor Points: Emphasize ZBT readiness, tariff negotiation alignment (success needs targeted tariffs, diplomacy, fiscal discipline), and gaps in defensive/international allocations. Use chart to highlight high-likelihood events (ZBT, correction).
Notes
Tariff Negotiation: Your portfolio’s cash and defensive tilt align with negotiation volatility, but boosting VEU/VWOB strengthens resilience if talks fail (50% escalation risk).
Past Insights: Your “house money” strategy (sell at RSI > 70) and focus on stable income (55% stability goal) inform ZBT and defensive actions.
Follow-Up: Share advisor feedback, ZBT parameters (e.g., RSI thresholds), or holdings for deeper analysis. I’ll ensure visuals work next time.
Sorry for the glitches—thanks for sticking with me! Let me know if you need more details or a demo topic for your advisor. Good luck with the meeting!
