FULL REPORT:
INSTAT, a proprietary scoring system created by Bill Cara is used to analyze market trends through a combination of algorithmic, short-term, and long-term price performance metrics. This mathematical framework generates scores from -100 to +100 to help investors distinguish between structural cycles and transient sentiment. The system enables Bill to monitor ~2,400 instruments (stocks, bonds, ETFs, commodities, currencies, indexes) tracked daily across 30+ securities exchanges worldwide.
This Navigator 26.9 report specifically highlights a high-stakes market environment unfolding in March 2026, where geopolitical conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has triggered a global “flight to safety.” This crisis caused Cara to move entirely to cash positions on the day prior to the outbreak a week ago based on the need to protect capital from looming stagflation and supply chain shocks. The Navigator report serves as a comprehensive weekly guide that applies this top-down analysis across global sectors, emphasizing that macroeconomic forces like interest rates and energy costs determine the success of individual stock selections. Ultimately, the materials advocate for an objective, data-driven strategy that prioritizes risk management and capital preservation during periods of extreme international instability.
