Informational only. Not financial, legal or investment advice.
Each edition is archived the day it publishes and never edited afterward, so anyone can check what the desk said against what happened. 30 editions so far.
Note added 6 Oct 2026: these editions are kept exactly as published. Some describe prediction-market moves in trading words, such as “real money pushed the probability.” Since 17 Aug 2026 we treat those prices as one source we cite and check against what happened; we serve current state, not forecasts.
