Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 0% hit rate, -6.07% mean alpha, trader score -9.49. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -10.4% since posting (mean over 59 mentions with price data).

Bearish MSTR and STRC alongside hard-money macro warnings

Peter Schiff is overwhelmingly focused on a bearish MicroStrategy complex thesis: MSTR financial engineering, STRC drawdowns, yield pressure, and potential legal or SEC issues. His distinctive read is that Bitcoin-linked capital structures are breaking while inflation, fiscal deficits, and Fed money printing make gold the better store-of-value trade. No explicit position flip or add/trim appears; the week shows repeated bearish follow-through rather than disclosed trading activity.

Direction this week

The author is consistently bearish on MSTR and STRC, with concentration around STRC drawdowns, MSTR yield pressure, and alleged Saylor promotion liability. Macro commentary stays inflation-bearish throughout, while gold and tokenized gold are presented positively against continued Bitcoin skepticism. No disclosed adds, trims, exits, or explicit position flip appear in the input.

Bitcoin’s break of $60K and long-term moving-average support opens downside toward $50K, $40K, or lower targets.

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.
