Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 50% hit rate, -0.15% mean alpha, trader score -0.13. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -1.1% since posting (mean over 113 mentions with price data).

Bullish AI picks-and-shovels, cyclicals, biotech; bearish software

KeithTradeSmith is leaning into AI infrastructure beneficiaries, especially semiconductor equipment, power-grid suppliers, industrials, and niche picks-and-shovels baskets, while repeatedly framing legacy software as pressured by AI. His distinctive read is that the AI trade is broadening away from obvious megacap software into fab tools, grid hardware, manufacturing cyclicals, diagnostics, robotics suppliers, and quantum suppliers. Late in the window, he tactically flipped CRM from a bearish AI-disruption narrative into a short-term call scalp after an extreme losing streak, while still saying he wanted confirmation before trusting it.

Direction this week

Conviction intensified around semiconductor equipment as AMAT, LRCX, KLAC, ASML, TER, and ACMR appeared repeatedly from June 16 through June 19 as AI capex beneficiaries. CRM shows a discrete tactical flip: he spent several posts bearish or cautious on AI disruption and the losing streak, then initiated a short-term call scalp on June 17 while still avoiding full confidence without a green signal. New late-week themes surfaced in quantum suppliers, grid upgrades, robotics suppliers, and biotech ETFs, with no large personal position disclosures beyond the YPF/VIST 13F framing.

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.
