The war rages on… We’re now into the third week of the Iran conflict, and there’s no clear resolution in sight. I remain hopeful for a quick end to the hostilities, both for the sake of our troops and for the sake of the civilians involved. But the truth is, even if it doesn’t end soon, our Green Zone Fortunes model portfolio is built to handle this…

Let me get started by sending out a warm welcome to our newest readers! You’re not just subscribers of a financial newsletter. You’re now members of a community of investors who’ve proven to be ready to “take the bull by the horns.” Our community is quickly approaching 100,000 members strong … and our bent toward data-driven and easy-to-implement systematic strategies continues to work its magic!

In the February issue of Green Zone Fortunes, I recommended fertilizer maker CF Industries Holdings (CF). My rationale was straightforward. The economic boom fueled by the AI revolution would lead to rising living standards… and every country that has gotten richer has gotten “meatier.”

AI can write legal briefs, analyze medical scans, design products, optimize factories, and automate entire professions. It can make businesses faster, leaner, and more scalable than ever before. But it can’t produce a single calorie of edible food.

Let’s start this weekly update with some good news… One of our most recent additions to the portfolio – emerging market beer brewer Ambev SA (ABEV) – is already up 29% since November. And not to be outdone, Powell Industries (POWL) – which we added in October – is up 48% currently.
