Favors semiconductor bottlenecks and Tesla while warning on CoreWeave

The author recommends ASML, calls TSM a mega-pick and favors TSLA, but discloses no holdings or executed trades. The clearest distinction is between semiconductor suppliers benefiting from demand and capacity constraints and CRWV facing expensive financing. Late-window coverage introduces the CRWV warning and TSLA's AI, Cybercab and Optimus thesis without establishing a position reversal.

Disclosed booknames the author says they hold — positions, not commentary

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.
