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: 35% hit rate, -0.02% mean alpha, trader score -0.02. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -1.3% since posting (mean over 49 mentions with price data).

AI infrastructure bottlenecks across packaging, power, and interconnect

semivision_tw is focused on AI infrastructure supply-chain constraints rather than explicit trades, with attention on TSM advanced packaging, NVDA system-level AI platforms, and MRVL power delivery. The distinctive read is that compute scaling is pushing bottlenecks into packaging formats, substrate materials, optical interconnect, HVDC, and MLCC/passive supply chains. No position disclosures, directional calls, adds, trims, or clear late-week pivot appear in this payload.

Direction this week

The author is not making explicit trade calls in this window; the signal set is research-heavy and concentrated on AI infrastructure bottlenecks across packaging, interconnect, and power delivery. There is no evidence of intensifying, fading, flipping, adds, trims, or exits from the provided signals. Tickered attention is mostly positive on NVDA, TSM, and MRVL, but many signals are thematic with no single-stock action.

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.
