Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 45% hit rate, +0.50% mean alpha, trader score +0.58. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -6.7% since posting (mean over 35 mentions with price data).

Macro caution centered on AI valuation and rate risk

Charlie Bilello is not making trade calls; he is using charts and macro data to argue that AI-linked leadership, semiconductor valuations, private-market SpaceX pricing, and monetary policy are stretched. His distinctive read is base-rate driven: current enthusiasm resembles prior manias, while rate expectations and debt/fiscal data argue against easy-money assumptions. No explicit late-week position flip appears, but the final posts returned to AI infrastructure winners, fiscal expansion, and memory ETF momentum alongside earlier valuation warnings.

Direction this week

The author’s week is consistently cautionary rather than trade-driven: repeated valuation, base-rate, and mania analogies frame AI semiconductors, SpaceX private shares, and narrow leadership as stretched. There are no adds, trims, exits, or explicit position disclosures in the payload, and no discrete flip is visible. Concentration sits in semiconductor and AI-infrastructure valuation risk, with AMAT, MU, INTC, NVDA, and broad tech leadership getting the most ticker-specific attention.

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.
