No themes are genuinely split this week — the standing map below carries the longer-running fault lines.
The weekly view shows what changed; this shows where the crowd stands. Every speaker's most recent statement in the last 90 days, one stance per person. The fault lines here run deeper than any single week.

Specific-ticker calls from canonical speakers with a positive 90d prior track record (mean signed return > 0 across n≥3 matured prior calls). The track-record column is the speaker’s prior hit rate — the credibility signal for featuring the call. Each pick below is fresh, so its own 90d result is still maturing (date shown).
