# Sentinel — Position Review (PM)

2026-08-09 · 2 triggered picks reviewed · 2 exits, 0 holds, 0 skips

Both triggered picks are NO positions in the same market, opened at 83¢ by
  two audit runs on Jul 20. Both hit the **capital_free** trigger at a 99.5¢ side-mid. Live
  check: NO bid 99¢ with ~$21.7k resting depth; market closes Sep 1 (23 days out). The thesis is
  not just intact — it is confirmed — but the remaining 1¢ is not worth 23 days of locked capital.

      Thesis ("no physical path to a signed law before Sep 1") is now confirmed fact: Majority
      Leader Thune said the Senate will not vote on the CLARITY Act before the summer recess,
      and the motion to proceed he filed sets up a vote only after the Senate returns Sept 14 —
      two weeks past this market's cutoff. NO is ~99% to settle, but at a 99¢ bid there is 1¢
      left over 23 days. Exit into the 99¢ bid (deep book, ~$21.7k at top) and free the capital.

      Duplicate exposure to the same market from a sibling audit run; the calendar-math thesis
      ("Senate lacks 60 votes and the House is gone until Aug 31") resolved in our favor — the
      Senate left for recess without a vote and
      returns Sept 14,
      after resolution. Same capital_free logic as signal 600: exit at 99¢, banking 16 of the
      16.5¢ gain rather than warehousing the position for the final cent.
