Edition 4 // Nov 2026

The California Squeeze

A 6% cash account looks like the answer. After federal and California tax, every cash option tested loses buying power. The report finds where income still beats inflation, and what risk you take to get it.

  • After-tax, after-inflation tables for cash, T-bills, money funds and preferreds.
  • Return-of-capital tax math, with the credit risk spelled out.
  • Volatility is vitality: how holding period turns swings into returns.

Gold to Petro to Compute

For a century the dollar was anchored to what the world could not do without: first gold, then oil. Both anchors are loosening. This report traces where money moved at each turn, and what the next scarce input looks like.

  • A sourced history: 1934 Gold Reserve Act, the 1971 gold window, the 1973 oil shock.
  • The compute thesis: AI compute and the power behind it as the new scarce input.
  • What it means for a portfolio, era by era.
