The measurement window ended six days ago with
zero executive orders signed in it —
the thesis didn't just hold, it effectively resolved in our favor. The
Federal Register
(the resolution source) shows the 2026 series ending at EO 14414, signed Jun 25; the
White House EO listing
agrees, and the FR public-inspection queue holds nothing pending. The Jun 29
“Signs Executive Orders” video was mislabeled, as the original audit suspected — no numbered EO came from it.
Why exit rather than ride to settlement: latest expiration is Jul 18 — 8 days of locked
capital for the final 1¢ — and the rules count any window-dated EO published right up to expiration, a small
but total-loss tail. Selling NO at 99¢ locks in +12¢ (+13.8%) on the 87¢ entry. Liquidity is deep:
74k+ contracts bid at the 99¢ exit.
