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 20 scored bets: 30% hit rate, -5.28% mean alpha, trader score -3.72. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +0.0% since posting (mean over 401 mentions with price data).

SPCX frenzy, AI chips, and earnings beats dominate

schaeffers is mostly running an event-driven tape: SPCX IPO/options mania, AI semiconductor momentum, and earnings reactions. The distinctive tilt is bullish on AI memory/networking names like MU and MRVL while repeatedly flagging SPCX as crowded and volatility-prone after retail and options demand exploded. Late week attention shifted toward semis, prediction-market infrastructure, and selective consumer/software catalysts, while macro posts stayed two-sided between hawkish Fed risk and AI-led S&P upside.

Direction this week

Conviction is concentrated in SPCX event risk, AI semis, and earnings reactions, with the clearest bullish follow-through in MU, MRVL, INTC, SWBI, KMX, JBL, TTWO, and RBLX. Semis intensified late week as MU target hikes, MRVL inclusion, and the Intel-Apple report clustered together, while SPCX coverage stayed crowded and two-sided after retail inflows, options volume, ETFs, and volatility warnings. There were no explicit CALL_DIRECTIONAL trades or position disclosures in the input, so adds, trims, and exits cannot be inferred.

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.
