Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 55% hit rate, +0.73% mean alpha, trader score +1.00. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +3.6% since posting (mean over 141 mentions with price data).

Building SOFI, NOW, AMZN and UBER on weakness

Author is concentrated in long-duration growth and compounder longs, especially SOFI, NOW, AMZN and UBER, with repeated adds into weakness. Distinctive read is that debated, messy names with improving fundamentals offer the best upside before sentiment catches up. Late-window activity shows fresh adds to AMZN, ZETA, UBER and NOW, an explicit desire for more SOFI, and profit-taking in CAKE.

Direction this week

Conviction is concentrated in SOFI, NOW, AMZN and UBER, with repeated adds and fresh position-building across those names plus ZETA. The clearest portfolio action is adding into weakness while recycling some gains from CAKE. No clear bearish flip appears, though AMD has a defined future trim level at $700 and ADBE tone turned frustrated.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
