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.
Across their last 11 scored bets: 55% hit rate, +0.27% mean alpha, trader score +1.85.
Luke Gromen is focused on macro reserve-asset rotation rather than single-name equities: gold regaining monetary relevance, USTs losing reserve-asset status, and oil/geopolitics driving fiscal-dominance stress. His distinctive read is that definancialization and China’s energy/gold strategy can break consensus mean reversion in the gold/oil ratio. Late in the window, attention shifts from gold/oil regime change toward Warsh/Fed hawkishness, levered UST ownership, and bond-market breakage risk.
No single-name trades or position disclosures appear in this payload; conviction is entirely macro. The window starts with gold/oil reserve-regime arguments, then shifts mid-week toward Iran/Hormuz oil-shock risk and later toward Warsh/Fed hawkishness, UST leverage, and bond-market fragility. Concentration is highest in gold reserve-asset replacement, oil geopolitics, and UST/fiscal-dominance risk rather than ticker-specific calls.

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.
