If the past couple of days have taught us anything about investing, it's this: trust no one. Not politicians, economists, analysts, management teams, TV pundits, wizards, goblins—nobody.

That’s why we built The Buycaster on the idea of Zero Trust—a concept borrowed from cybersecurity. In investing, it means backing companies that can double your money without needing miracles: no government bailouts, no trade booms, no celebrity CEO stunts, no influencer hype. The Buycaster cuts through the BS on 7,000 US and international stocks.

The Buycaster’s key metric, the Buycast, gets to the heart of it. It asks: “What revenue growth do I need to believe in to - rationally - expect this stock to 2X?” If that growth assumption is reasonable, the stock gets a high 2Xability score.

McKesson is a prime example. With a 2Xability score of 9.7/10, it suggests that as long as the company holds steady, its stock should double over a full business cycle—about five years. McKesson distributes pharmaceuticals across the U.S. and commands a significant market share, making it relatively resistant to tariff turbulence. Check out their Buycast: 



On turbulent days like these, that long-view matters. While the Trump administration seems bent on torching the system, we think the many stakeholders who rely on capitalism to actually function—employers, consumers, investors—won’t let it collapse without a fight. Reform is good. Ruin is not. So, keep calm, embrace Zero Trust Investing, and stick with companies that can trudge their way to doubling your money. 

And maybe, just maybe, avoid the news this weekend. Try to relax.
