Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 40% hit rate, +0.01% mean alpha, trader score +0.04. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +2.3% since posting (mean over 11 mentions with price data).

Macro tape watch with semis resilient, energy weak

EddyElfenbein is mostly observing macro and market-tape dispersion rather than making trade calls. The clearest market read is semiconductors outperforming while energy and defense lag, alongside mixed Bitcoin framing and scattered macro headlines on inflation, war, Fed leadership, and reform. No explicit adds, trims, exits, or directional calls appear in this window.

Direction this week

No explicit trade actions, position disclosures, adds, trims, exits, or flips appear in the supplied signals. The author’s attention is concentrated on market dispersion, with semis outperforming energy and defense, plus mixed Bitcoin framing and macro headline risk. Theme-level evidence is thin and largely observational, so conviction should be treated as low despite high source credibility.

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.
