Brad on every pod, one portfolio.
15 All-In appearances + 58 BG2 episodes, deduped to 59 unique calls over ~4 years. The unified book runs from his first INITIATE on All-In to his most recent BG2 release. Following him on one pod only captures part of his thesis arc; combining them is the full picture.
These aren't additive. They're three different portfolios with three different windows + deployment levels. The pp gap is just Brad's return minus SPY's same-window return for each book.
- All-In only: 15 calls scattered across 4 years. His $100K bucket sits mostly idle in SPY between INITIATEs, so the portfolio tracks SPY closely. Brad returns +86%, SPY returns +73%, gap = +13pp.
- BG2 only: 58 calls but a shorter 21-month window. SPY only ran +38% in that period (no COVID-recovery tailwind). Brad +62%, gap = +24pp.
- Cross-pod: 71 deduped calls compressed into the longer 4-year window. Now the $100K bucket is actively rotated into Brad's actual picks (AI compounders NVDA/META/TSLA) most of the time, not just hanging out in SPY. Brad returns +152% (vs +86% solo), SPY benchmark still +73%, gap = +79pp.
The cross-pod book isn't the sum of two outperformances. It's a fundamentally different portfolio with more deployment, more of his strongest conviction calls, compounding over more time.
Defaults to BALANCED — the same published default every book on this site runs. Swap presets to see how Brad's unified book reacts to different harvest/stop rules. Same caveat as BG2: his long-runway compounders punish aggressive trim, so Let It Ride and Concentrated both beat the default here (at the cost of variance).
Data-driven default. 18mo hold, -10% stop, gain-harvest +50/+100, time-decay last 9mo.
Methodology shape
Data-optimal default: moderate stop, medium hold, stepped gain harvest.
The cohort numbers above are the result of running the engine with this preset's exact parameters (stop loss, hold window, gain harvest schedule, conviction floor, portfolio mode). The recipe itself isn't published. Subscribers can see the full parameter readout and replicate the methodology end-to-end.
