If you only read one thing this week, it should be this.

If you've been following along recently, you'll know we've been laser-focused on one stock.

A position we described as the most asymmetric setup we've ever seen.

It was heads you win now, tails you win in the long run.

Well, the coin landed on heads.

And we won bigger than anticipated.

30.11% in 25 days.

This brings our YTD performance to 27.4%.

Today we're disclosing the position we've been discussing for weeks, walking through the complete timeline, and sharing what we're doing next.

As always, everything you read on Schwar Capital is not investment advice, just a record of our personal opinions and process.

Let's get into it.

The Stock: Alpha Group International

For complete transparency, we've removed the paywall on all related posts so you can see our exact thought process throughout.

Here's the timeline:

Our first post was June 6th, where we outlined the full company breakdown:

£65 million into over £1 billion in just 7 years

On June 25th, after weeks building conviction, we bought at around £31.60 per share - 10.7% of the portfolio.

By June 27th, we published our heads/tails thesis explaining the buyout mechanics and added more - now 12.78%:

We Might Go 50%+ Into This One Stock

A lot of people upgraded to paid subscriptions that day, and I'm sure they're quite happy to have read our opinions and thoughts on the stock now.

July 2nd: Increased further to about 20% (the catalyst deadline was July 7th).

July 11th: When the deadline extended, we explained why this actually increased our conviction and predicted the final offer between 3,500-4,000 pence per share:

The Most Asymmetric Bet We've Ever Made

And that brings us to today.

Alpha shares jumped 25% on the news, delivering our total return of just over 30% in 25 days.

Not bad going.

Lessons and Transparency

Here's proof we follow the philosophy we've outlined:

✓ Found a highly asymmetric setup
✓ Simple heads/tails thesis
✓ Built conviction and concentrated heavily
✓ Made it our largest position

And it paid off.

But here's what matters most:

This was one of two scenarios.

It could have gone the other way.

A story of compounding and waiting, maybe greater returns but over a much longer timeframe.

What really matters is we stuck to our process.

And we're getting results to show for it.
