THE MILLEGAN MEMO: POST-NOVEMBER 2025

This month we revisit the original oil panic, the whiskey glut nobody noticed, homebuilders’ disappearing margins, the new WORM index for Oregon companies, and the only friend AI data centers really have - natural gas. In other words: 1970s stagflation, a hangover in a bourbon warehouse, housing builders racing each other to the bottom, and an energy transition that still quietly runs on methane. If you like panic, mispricing, and real assets that don’t care about your factor model, you’re in the right place. As a final note, the recent S&P rebalancing saw thirteen companies removed from the S&P 600 small cap index - three of them are current holdings. We like being part of the cast offs. This was even a signal to review each of the others as possible investment targets.
