Named growth PM running rigorous valuation teardowns on TSLA and the AI complex
Publishes daily premarket macro summaries plus deep fundamen
Grade = how their written analysis reads (A best). Trader score = how their last-20 timestamped calls performed vs SPY. · Analyst brief as of 2026-10-18.
Across their last 20 scored bets: 70% hit rate, +0.63% mean alpha, trader score +1.80. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -2.2% since posting (mean over 60 mentions with price data).
Black's central call is bearish on TSLA: declining earnings estimates and commoditizing autonomy undermine its valuation, while Apple's advertising offers a model for differentiation. He recalls exiting TSLA in May 2025 at $358; no current holdings or qualifying directional trades are disclosed. Late-window commentary separates praise for the Roadster event from skepticism about its earnings impact, alongside TSMC guidance news and an expected LLY guidance increase.
No positions disclosed this window — everything below is commentary, not book talk.

Late-window praise for the Roadster event coexists with investment skepticism; the supplied signals establish neither a position reversal nor current adds or trims.

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.
