Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 30% hit rate, -2.10% mean alpha, trader score -2.47. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -4.4% since posting (mean over 233 mentions with price data).

Memory scarcity conviction persists despite valuation compression and financing fears

The author favors memory producers, especially Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron, arguing that long-term agreements and HBM demand could weaken traditional industry cyclicality. Their distinctive read is that buyer complaints and deferred device demand reinforce supplier pricing power rather than establish demand destruction. Late-window posts challenge the CXMT threat while acknowledging financing stress among AI customers; no ticker-identifiable personal trade or position disclosure establishes what they currently own.

Direction this week

Conviction centers on memory suppliers retaining pricing power through long-term contracts, HBM scarcity and constrained capacity, with Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron the main exposures discussed. Repeated rebound hopes coexist with warnings about Korean foreign outflows, inflation and leveraged AI customers; the supplied directional calls lack identifiable tickers, and the position disclosures describe third parties, so neither establishes personal adds, trims or exits.
