# Sentinel — Position Review (PM)

2026-07-27 · 2 positions triggered · 1 hold / 1 exit

 Pick 1

      Zero Mar-a-Lago trips through July 26, and none plausible in the four days left: the club is
      seasonally closed (shut since early May), and the published
      week-ahead schedule (WFLX, Jul 26)
      has Trump in Michigan Monday, at the Graham memorial in DC Tuesday, and at a Camp David cabinet
      meeting Friday Jul 31 — no Florida anywhere. The capital-free trigger fired at ≥95¢, but the market
      closes Aug 1, inside the ~7-day window, so we ride the last cent to resolution instead of paying
      the spread to exit at 99¢. YES bid is deep (~25,700 contracts at 99¢).
    

 Pick 2 

FISA Section 702 reauthorized into law before Sep 1, 2026?

      The thesis got stronger: the House took its last votes ~Jul 23 and is in recess Jul 27–Aug 28
      with next votes Aug 31 (House calendar,
      UW Federal Relations, Jul 22),
      so nothing can become law before Sep 1 without an improbable same-day House-pass-and-sign on Aug 31.
      But this is a pure capital-efficiency exit: 36 days locked for the last 4¢, and the tail isn't dead —
      the Senate is floating a 3-year 702 extension
      before its Aug 6–7 adjournment, and Jay Clayton's DNI confirmation next week removes the Democrats'
      stated blocker. Sell NO into the 96¢ bid (~1,770 contracts of depth) and free the capital.
    

    Desk rule applied: capital_free (≥95¢) → exit unless the market closes within ~7 days.
    Mar-a-Lago closes in 5 days (hold); FISA closes in 36 days (exit). Live quotes fetched
