Austrian-leaning macro bear dissecting AI bubble, Fed plumbing, and currency regimes
Posts dense macro and contrarian commentary, mostly in repli
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: 75% hit rate, +1.05% mean alpha, trader score +3.14. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +7.1% since posting (mean over 25 mentions with price data).
The author favors a bond futures short-covering rally, tentatively favors selling BTC, and recommends shorting the Korean won as a less crowded AI-bubble unwind trade. Their distinctive skepticism targets MSFT's escalating AI spending and a named fund's combined 55% allocation to SNDK and MU; the input does not establish those holdings as the author's own. No explicit position reversal or change in conviction is documented.
Skepticism centers on AI spending and concentrated memory exposure, alongside a bullish bond futures call and a tentative BTC sell view. The 55% concentration belongs to a named fund, and no explicit author add, trim, or reversal is established. Each ticker appears only once, so hypotheses are omitted because none can meet the required two supporting signals; theme intensity is provisional given the sparse window.

Alignment separates skin-in-the-game from commentary: ✓ = the author discloses a position consistent with their talk; “call (no pos)” = directional call without a disclosed position; “commentary” = opinion only.

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.
