Grade = how their written analysis reads (A best). Trader score = how their last-20 timestamped calls performed vs SPY. · Analyst brief as of 2026-10-18.

The author discloses owning no stocks and makes no directional trade calls. Her distinctive read comes from testing META Marketplace advertising: promised sale-based billing appears inconsistent with campaign settings, alongside allegations of campaigns created without explicit seller consent. She reiterates those allegations later in the window while questioning EBAY Live execution and highlighting spending moving to competing resale sites.

Attention centers on META advertising consent and billing concerns, with META accounting for 80% of advertising-theme signals. EBAY coverage questions Live execution and competitive positioning, while acknowledging relative advertising-price advantages; META's potential attribution advantage also receives favorable discussion. No directional calls, adds, trims, or explicit position exits are documented, and the author discloses owning no stocks.

Alignment separates skin-in-the-game from commentary: ✓ = the author discloses a position consistent with their talk; “call (no pos)” = directional call without a disclosed position; “commentary” = opinion only.

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.
