Forecast

The masterbrain trajectory — 7 dated checkpoints. Short rungs (2w, 1m) show the typical range as the primary claim; point calls run from 2 months out. Every claim still gets graded. Predicted Aug 6, 2026 1:06 am
Bear SCCO trends lower to $172.00 (-12.7% from $197.00) by Feb 2027. ride-then-fade
ThesisSCCO trades far above every reasonable fair value anchor ($85-$156), with negative sentiment and a fading copper super-cycle narrative pressing on a stock that already ran 289%. High beta (3.06) in a risk-on tape can keep it buoyant near-term, but value gravity and the 'fully valued' chorus should bleed the price lower over the 6-month window, though not all the way to fair value.
Invalidated ifA break and hold above $215 on copper strength, or a decisive risk-off tape driving SCCO below $170 quickly, would falsify this gradual fade.

Why ranges on the short rungs? A 102-prediction trial (2026-07-21) showed 2-week point calls carry no information here — three prompt formulations all lost to simply predicting zero — while the stock's own volatility scale (σ×√t) described those windows well. So the short rungs claim what's actually knowable: the typical travel, with earnings timing flagged where the variance will come from. The internal point calls keep being generated and graded to map where real skill begins. Full evidence: stocks/predictions/V0.5-DESIGN.md §8.

Deterministic control (v0.3 value line) targets $175.25 (-11.0%) — both lines get graded at every checkpoint, so the brain has to beat the formula, not just replace it. Brain: claude-opus-4-7.

Not Yet Modeled

What this v0.6.0 forecast deliberately ignores — the work ahead, in plain sight.
  • Scenario probabilities — one path, no bull/bear split (base_prob = 1.0).
  • Intraday / sub-2-week behaviour — the first claim is at 14 days by design (EOD product).
  • Position sizing / portfolio context — the path is a price claim only.
