Their picks, scored

Across their last 20 scored bets: 40% hit rate, -0.19% mean alpha, trader score -0.58. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +0.2% since posting (mean over 87 mentions with price data).

Tesla evangelism centers on FSD adoption and Korean momentum

No ownership or directional trades were disclosed, but the author consistently promotes TSLA through FSD utility, Korean adoption, and global execution. The distinctive read is that Korea provides tangible evidence of both vehicle demand and software acceptance. Late in the window, V2L capability emerged as a new product claim rather than a change in Tesla conviction.

Disclosed booknames the author says they hold — positions, not commentary

Direction this week

The author remained consistently bullish on TSLA, emphasizing FSD adoption, Korean sales momentum, Cybercab testing, and international execution; there were no disclosed adds, trims, exits, or directional calls. A new late-window focus on Model Y V2L capability broadened the product thesis without constituting a conviction flip. TSLA accounts for nearly the entire posting window, creating substantial single-name concentration and promotional-risk concerns.

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.
