Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 35% hit rate, -0.70% mean alpha, trader score -1.47. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -4.9% since posting (mean over 3 mentions with price data).

Dovish rates call with selective AI infrastructure takes

Stevehou is mainly trading a macro rates view: oil shock fears are overdone, the Fed is dovish, and 2-year and 10-year yields should move lower. Single-stock discussion is concentrated in AI infrastructure and model competition, with constructive reads on Google/Anthropic, Intel packaging relevance, and a bearish Meta AI-spend critique. Late in the window, the focus shifts more toward US-China AI rivalry and trillion-dollar AI capex framing rather than fresh equity calls.

Direction this week

Conviction is concentrated in a dovish rates call, with two explicit directional signals for lower yields and repeated support from Fed, inflation-gauge, and oil-oversupply framing. Equity commentary is selective rather than trade-heavy: constructive on Google-linked AI progress and Intel packaging relevance, bearish on Meta AI spending. The AI-rivalry theme builds late in the window, while there are no explicit position adds, trims, exits, or ticker-level flips.

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.
