Grade = how their written analysis reads (A best). Trader score = how their last-20 timestamped calls performed vs SPY. · Analyst brief as of 2026-06-22.

Their picks, scored

Across their last 8 scored bets: 50% hit rate, +0.11% mean alpha, trader score +0.12. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -1.3% since posting (mean over 1 mentions with price data).

Macro and AI skepticism with bearish megacap reads

kkmaway is not making directional trades this window; the feed is mostly skeptical commentary on Fed communication, AI hype, and two megacap AI platform risks. The distinctive read is that better AI may impair Google’s listing model, while Meta’s profitability may be encouraging poor judgment on AI equipment spend. No position disclosures, adds, trims, exits, or news breaks appeared in the provided signals.

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

No positions disclosed this window — everything below is commentary, not book talk.

Direction this week

The window is dominated by macro and AI skepticism rather than trade calls. Concentration sits in Fed communication/rate-path commentary, with separate bearish reads on GOOGL and META; there is no evidence of adds, trims, exits, or a discrete conviction flip in the provided signals.

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.
