BUSHY™ and Acorn Review
Starting on January 1st with zero runs on the board is the lot facing anyone managing a P&L. The inevitable correction in the metals after Christmas cost BUSHY™ about 1.5% of performance in the last few trading days of 2025, but the first trading day of 2026 on Friday clawed back most of that deficit and the closed “Week Zero” up 130 basis points. International exposures helped. I hope this sets the tone for the year.
