Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 55% hit rate, -0.29% mean alpha, trader score -0.21. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +0.1% since posting (mean over 191 mentions with price data).

Bullish NBIS and opticals, fading IREN and CRWV

edge_of_power is concentrated in AI infrastructure, especially NBIS, AAOI, ORCL, CIFR, and selected Samsung exposure, while turning sharply colder on IREN and CRWV. Their distinctive read is that real bottlenecks are grid access, compute capacity, optical capacity, and memory pricing, not generic AI software multiples. Late week shows a clear IREN de-risking arc: disclosed ownership, then sold half or trimmed, followed by repeated skepticism on deal flow, pricing, and sector capex exhaustion.

Direction this week

The week starts broad bullish on HOOD, NVDA-linked AI infrastructure, CIFR, IREN, and AAOI, but late-week conviction concentrates into NBIS, AAOI, ORCL, CIFR, and Samsung-linked exposure. IREN clearly fades: the author disclosed ownership, sold half or trimmed, then criticized deal absence, pricing, shills, and capex exhaustion. CRWV stays bearish throughout, while macro risk flips back negative into the weekend on Iran, Hormuz, and Israel escalation risk.

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.
