Re-research

The thesis has only strengthened since entry on Jul 6. Nineteen of 31 July days have
      elapsed with zero Mar-a-Lago visits and the club remains closed for the season. The one
      tail risk the original analyst flagged — an unscheduled Florida stop around the Jul 11
      Miami World Cup quarterfinal — did not materialize:
      [CBS Sports (Jul 17)](https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/2026-world-cup-final-us-president-donald-trump-to-attend-fifa-championship-rings/)
      reported Trump had attended none of the tournament's first 102 games; his first appearance
      was the Jul 19 final in New Jersey, following a
      [Bedminster weekend (Factba.se / WH pool schedule)](https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/calendar/).
      No Florida travel appears on the public schedule through late July.

Decision

Exit at the 96¢ bid. This is a capital-efficiency call, not a thesis call: the market
      doesn't settle until Aug 1 (~12 days, beyond our ~7-day hold window for ≥95¢ positions), and
      holding earns ~2¢ of expected value against unscheduled-trip tail risk on a president known
      for schedule surprises. Selling banks +5¢ (+5.5%) in two weeks and frees the capital.
      Liquidity is excellent — ~9,265 contracts bid at 96¢, so the exit is clean.
