Thanks for this series, I've discovered it a bit late, but I've learned something from every post so far!

I haven't found the PDF for your trade, but I'm assuming you're going long stock. What made you decide against options here? They're not very liquid, but bid/ask is okay-ish. An ITM Jul15 27 call has a time value of just about $0.30, so plenty of time to be wrong before being right: https://twitter.com/PkZweifel/status/1513528399603589124

Reading your thoughts on the Metagame made me think of Jack Schwager's Unknown Market Wizards. One of the traders in there said something like: the most powerful word in the markets is "despite", because when the market reacts to news, headlines or whatever else in a different way than what you expect, then this should lead you to question your framework instead of arguing against reality.
