Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 35% hit rate, -0.17% mean alpha, trader score -0.24. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +8.4% since posting (mean over 10 mentions with price data).

Bullish growth-book focus led by ZETA and HIMS

MontanaMatos is running a growth long book centered on HIMS, ZETA, LMND, ELF, PATH and CELH, with the clearest repeated conviction in ZETA and HIMS. The distinctive read is that ZETA remains underappreciated despite enterprise customer value, while HIMS has re-rated back to $30 with a stronger business underneath. No explicit flip or fade appears; the week is mostly consistent bullish positioning with a brief market caution and favorable lower-oil macro read.

Direction this week

The author stayed bullish on a concentrated growth basket, with repeat emphasis on ZETA and HIMS and disclosed longs across HIMS, LMND, ELF, ZETA, PATH and CELH. There is no explicit add, trim, exit or flip in the provided signals; the clearest direction is consistent long exposure, plus a brief non-ticker caution about a sharp market turn. Concentration risk is highest in the ZETA and HIMS narratives because those are the only tickers with repeated standalone support.

Investors should rotate away from TTD into stronger digital-ad or AI-ad names such as META, APP, or ZETA.

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.
