👋 It’s Monday after the 4th. Hope you still have all your fingers—and maybe a couple brain cells left.

Welcome to Beyond Brief — where signal > noise.

Let’s make this Monday count. ⚡

🛡️ Brought to you by Trust and Will

About a year ago, I became a dad 👶— and suddenly, estate planning went from “someday” to “today.”

Enter Trust & Will. They hit me up at the perfect time, and in less than 30 minutes, I had a legit trust set up. No legal mumbo-jumbo. No awkward office visits. Just a fast, guided online process that made me feel like an actual adult (for once).

If you’ve got a kid, a house, or anything worth protecting — this is the move. 💼

Why I loved it:

📝 Here’s what’s inside this week:

🎯 The Fake Stock Tracker Experiment You Didn’t Know You NeededClaude’s shiny new Artifacts tool let me build a working stock tracker in minutes—no code, no sweat. Plus, I picked 5 stocks to watch for the next 6 months. Let’s see if they moon or implode. 🚀🔥

👖 Google’s Doppl: The Dressing Room in Your PocketTry on clothes with a selfie. No more sweaty dressing rooms or return piles. I gave it a spin—here’s what worked, what glitched, and why it’s a game changer for your closet.

Trying on clothes IRL is the retail version of small talk—awkward, sweaty, and 90 % pointless. I’m the king of the “buy-online, pray-it-fits, return-on-Monday” hustle. 🫠

Enter Doppl, Google Labs’ brand-new party trick. One selfie-style body scan and—poof—a digital twin of you pops up, ready to flex any outfit you toss its way. 🤯 Below you’ll find my own avatar doing runway spins (yes, it’s serving).

Alright, folks—Claude just dropped a shiny new toy, and I couldn’t resist.

Introducing: Claude Artifacts.

If you’ve been living under a rock (or just ignoring Anthropic’s press releases), here’s the quick and dirty:

👉 Claude Artifacts are like having a digital Swiss Army knife built straight into your AI chat. Need a tool? A diagram? A working app? Claude will build it and plop it into a slick dedicated window—no coding degree required.

So naturally, I decided to have some fun.

I built a working fake stock tracker to monitor stocks in real time (or as close to real time as “fake” gets). Even better, I asked Claude to pick five stocks to hold for the next six months.

Here’s the link to play around:🔗 Check out the tracker

Let’s cut through the fluff—here’s why this is a big deal:

✅ Dedicated Window – No more scrolling through chat trying to find your tool. Artifacts get their own space.

✅ Version Control – Every edit creates a new version. Messed something up? Rewind the clock.

✅ Export & Share – Download, copy, or publish your Artifact. Instant bragging rights.

✅ Interactive & Editable – Highlight sections, ask Claude to explain, or tweak them yourself.

✅ Zero Code Required – Literally just type what you want, and Claude builds it.

Think:

…and in my case:

Disclaimer: This is all for fun—not financial advice. But if you love a good experiment, here’s what Claude’s deep research spat out:

🔥 Five Stocks for the Next 6 Months:(Selected using the same frameworks hedge funds drool over—just without the million-dollar fees)

1️⃣ A Utility Juggernaut – Defensive sector up +18% YTD, riding the rotation wave.2️⃣ A Financial Heavyweight – Banking on a +26% surge while everyone else runs scared.3️⃣ A Biotech Wildcard – High risk, high reward—think FDA approvals and volatility spikes.4️⃣ A Clean Energy Contender – Betting on policy tailwinds and tax credit seasonality.5️⃣ An AI Darling – Still growing like a weed (but maybe a bit overvalued).

Here’s the kicker:This strategy is professional-grade—think margin optimization, options hedging, and tactical scaling.

Some nerdy highlights:

📌 Margin Efficiency: Using Interactive Brokers for up to 6.67x leverage (because why not crank up the risk?).

📌 Options Plays: Straddles, collars, and covered calls to squeeze out every last basis point of premium.

📌 Quant Sizing: Volatility-adjusted positions with Kelly Criterion sanity checks.

📌 Risk Management: Hard stops, correlation caps, and stress tests galore.

📌 Execution: Algorithmic VWAP, iceberg orders, and pre-market volume signals to avoid looking like an amateur.

This isn’t your uncle’s “buy and hold.” This is aggressive, rules-based, and kinda fun to watch.

Even if you never trade a single share, this experiment shows just how far AI-generated tools have come.

💡 A year ago, building a stock tracker required a developer.💡 Six months ago, you needed templates and Zapier glue.💡 Now? You describe it, and an AI builds the app in minutes.

This is the future of productivity—and it’s only getting weirder (and better).

Bottom line:If you want to dabble in pro-level investing tactics (or just geek out), check out the Artifact.

Let’s see if these five picks turn into rocket ships—or if they crash and burn spectacularly. 🚀🔥

Either way, it’s gonna be fun to watch.
