The General Wether | Memo 04.08.26: Pausing Issues Doesn’t Resolve Issues
April 8, 2026
In this latest memo, we examine the market’s sharp rally following ceasefire headlines out of Iran and why, despite the optimism, something doesn’t quite add up. While markets surged on the news, we question whether the move reflects true fundamental improvement or simply a reflexive reaction driven by short covering and sentiment. Beneath the surface, the economic impacts of disrupted energy flows are still working through the system, with upcoming inflation data likely to provide the first real signals. As a result, our core thesis remains intact: upward pressure on inflation, a more hawkish Fed, and continued strain on growth. In the face of this uncertainty, we remain disciplined in our positioning - ready to adapt, but not chasing headline-driven moves.
The General Wether | Memo 04.01.26: Relief Rally or a Mirage in the Desert?
April 1, 2026
Markets surged into quarter-end on a wave of optimistic headlines, but the underlying realities remain unchanged. In this memo, we examine what drove the rally, what the market may be missing, and how we’re thinking about positioning in the face of continued uncertainty.
The General Wether | Memo 03.26.26: A Fade After the Headline
March 26, 2026
This memo examines the market’s increasingly reactive nature — where headlines drive sharp moves, but conviction fades just as quickly. We break down why the recent rally appears to be a temporary deviation rather than a true shift in direction, and what that means for positioning in the days ahead. Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty and tightening economic pressures, we outline why the underlying risks may still be building beneath the surface. As always, our focus remains on adapting to the environment as it is — not as we wish it to be.

The General Wether | Edition 2026-01: Don’t Ignore the Bridge
March 2, 2026
We explore the growing geopolitical risk surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and its potential impact on global energy markets and inflation. While markets appear largely indifferent, we examine why this may represent a mispricing of risk with meaningful downstream consequences. The piece also highlights how Limestone Tactical Opportunities is positioned in response to this environment. As always, we focus on identifying asymmetric opportunities where market complacency may create advantage.
