Returns 90d -5.4% 40% correct · 5 calls · 180d +17.3% 80% correct · 5 calls · 1y +84.1% 100% correct · 5 calls
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances. “% correct” is the share of those scored calls whose direction-aware return was positive at the horizon — in a rising market a bullish call is correct by default, so read it beside the market, not alone.
Scored calls
Every tracked call with at least one matured horizon: the rows behind the Returns
line above. A dash is a horizon that has not matured yet.

Tracked stances
bullish / bearish is a view they argued; owns / short is a position they said they hold.
2025-01-29
AAPL
bullish
Forward Guidance · video
Apple's unified memory architecture (GPU and RAM on one chip) makes Mac Minis the best dollar-per-GPU platform for running local open-source AI models like DeepSeek forks, driving incremental hardware demand
“if you want to go right now and train your own version of Deep seek...you're gonna buy MAC minis”
90d -11.7% · 180d -10.4% · 1y +8.4%

2025-01-29
NVDA
bullish
Forward Guidance · video
DeepSeek shifts compute burden from training to inference rather than eliminating it, so aggregate GPU demand keeps rising and the selloff overstates the bearish read on chips
“I don't think it's bearish on chips...demand for compute is still radically outscaling the rate at which we can slam vram”
90d -11.9% · 180d +42.9% · 1y +55.7%

SILVER
bullish
Forward Guidance · video
AI inference at scale requires massive electricity which drives solar adoption, and solar manufacturing is silver-intensive, making silver the commodity beneficiary of the AI compute buildout
“I'm bullish on Silver I'm annoying about this online because I think that the real implementation...that's nuclear that's solar...silver”
90d +6.5% · 180d +23.7% · 1y +277.0%

TSM
bullish
Forward Guidance · video
TSMC's position in advanced semiconductor manufacturing is irreplaceable — the US is 10-15 years from replicating it, AI's ongoing compute capacity constraints keep GPU demand high, and DeepSeek's efficiency gains do not reduce the need for leading-edge fabs
“traditional Nvidia traditional gpus are still the name of the game which means tsmc right”
90d -18.5% · 180d +20.7% · 1y +69.6%

short VOL / short CDX
hedge
Forward Guidance · video
Sell equity volatility because the VIX spike looks like a reflexive bubble that will deflate, and hedge with long credit protection (short credit via CDX) so that if a genuine recession materializes the credit leg pays — one side should win regardless of…
“you short the credit you maybe you sell the equity ball because it looks like this little bubble that is going to fluff out”
90d +8.5% · 180d +9.5% · 1y +9.9%
