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 20 scored bets: 65% hit rate, +0.61% mean alpha, trader score +1.75. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -5.0% since posting (mean over 29 mentions with price data).
NickSchmidt is broadly constructive on semis, infrastructure, and selected technical setups, with explicit bullish tilts toward SMH and INTC and positive chart attention on SNDK, DELL, and DDOG. His distinctive read is that strong fundamentals and resilient tape make selling difficult even after large moves, though he gives little explicit trade execution detail. No clear late-week flip appears; the week ends with a fresh bullish INTC opinion.
The author stays constructively biased across semis, infrastructure, and technical setups, with no explicit adds, trims, exits, or position sizing disclosed. There is no clear evidence of fading or flipping; the strongest late-week development is a new explicit bullish INTC opinion. Concentration is thematic rather than single-name, and several claims are chart or sentiment based rather than trade-mechanics based.

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.
