Grade = how their written analysis reads (A best). Trader score = how their last-20 timestamped calls performed vs SPY. · Analyst brief as of 2026-06-22.

Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 55% hit rate, +1.47% mean alpha, trader score +1.84. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -9.7% since posting (mean over 48 mentions with price data).

Selective hardware optimism, cautious on AI software pressure

The author is constructive on Vishay’s transformation and AEHR’s silicon photonics order, while cautious on INOD due to AI software pressure and executive selling. The distinctive read is a possible Cisco linkage behind AEHR’s follow-on order, contrasted with concern that INOD weakness reflects broader pressure rather than a clean dip-buy setup.

Direction this week

This week’s signal set is sparse and mostly interpretive, with no explicit call-directional trades or position disclosures. Concentration sits in cautious AI/software commentary around INOD and related software tickers, offset by a positive AEHR silicon photonics read and a separate constructive Vishay transformation narrative.

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.
