Three Debt-Free Stocks Just Got Institutional Attention
Ghost Prints flagged unusual call activity in three names from Brandon's balance sheet survival screen.
One printed 5,000 contracts at the ask Wednesday. Another shows the exact accumulation pattern that preceded 200%+ moves this year.
Both carry debt-to-equity under 0.5 and return on capital above 15%—built to survive when credit tightens and the dollar stops falling.
Brandon reveals all three tickers Monday, December 29th at 2PM EST including strikes, timeframes, and why institutions are positioning now.
👉 RESERVE YOUR SPOT FOR MONDAY 2PM EST
Don here...
Brandon Chapman put up a chart this morning that stopped me cold.
The S&P 500 priced in gold. Not dollars. Gold.
At the start of the year, it took 2.4 GLD shares to buy one SPY share. Now it takes 1.65. We're almost back to April lows in real terms.
Every gain in the S&P this year came from dollar weakness. Remove that tailwind and you're looking at negative returns.
In today's free session replay, you'll discover:
- Why Brandon expects the dollar to strengthen in 2026. Credit stress creates dollar demand. Foreign debt denominated in dollars must be repaid. When that process accelerates, the scramble for dollars begins.
- The magic formula screening approach that emphasizes balance sheet strength. Brandon filters for companies with low debt, strong cash positions, and proven ability to generate returns on capital. These survive credit crunches.
- How the mag seven could underperform next year. Fed intervention saved mega-cap tech after April. Brandon thinks that tailwind disappears when dollar weakness reverses.
- The 30-stock value screen he'll narrow to 10 before year end. Return on capital above 15%. Earnings yield above 5%. Debt-to-equity below 0.5. Price to book under three.
Brandon's thesis is simple. The speculation that drove 2025 was financed by easy money and dollar destruction. When credit tightens, companies with real earnings and clean balance sheets win.
Gold outperformed the S&P this year. Brandon expects that trend to continue even if gold pulls back. The relative performance tells the real story.
