Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 40% hit rate, -0.23% mean alpha, trader score -0.33. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -4.5% since posting (mean over 38 mentions with price data).

Bullish semis, dovish macro, skeptical neocloud and TSMC edges

Author is concentrated in AI infrastructure and semiconductors, repeatedly favoring classic semi longs, EDA, and semicap equipment while keeping a cautious eye on neoclouds and TSMC as funding-short candidates. Distinctive read is that even AI bear cases can become bullish for semis if model capability gains drive more data-center capex. Late-week focus shifted toward dovish Warsh/Fed interpretation and AI capex framework risk around DRAM, semicap constraints, and over-ordering.

Direction this week

The author stays broadly pro-semiconductor, with concentration in classic AI semi longs, semicap equipment, EDA, and a disclosed large semiconductor book. He is mixed across AI infrastructure: bullish on NVDA, ASML, MU, LRCX, SNPS and CDNS, but skeptical of NBIS/neocloud risk and relays bearish TSMC relative-short views. No CALL_DIRECTIONAL trades appear in the payload, while position disclosures are mostly held or unclear rather than explicit 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.
