Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 50% hit rate, +2.33% mean alpha, trader score +1.35. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -7.0% since posting (mean over 192 mentions with price data).

Bullish memory and optical beta with tactical space swings

The author is mainly pushing AI infrastructure through memory, CRDO/optical connectivity, and select high-beta small caps, with explicit additions in OCC, SPCX, IQE, and KXIAY. The distinctive read is that hyperscaler AI capex keeps feeding memory and connectivity names, though MU may still sell off after strong earnings. Late-week flow added AAOI/IQE optical exposure and showed caution around public space names despite earlier SPCX enthusiasm.

Direction this week

Conviction centers on AI memory, CRDO-led optical connectivity, and select small-cap momentum, with explicit adds in OCC, KXIAY, and IQE. The author became more cautious on public space equities after earlier SPCX bullishness, and flagged a possible MU post-earnings selloff despite staying structurally bullish on memory. Concentration risk is highest in MU and CRDO-related narratives.

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.
