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.

SPX
bullish
video
Equities only need the perception that the Fed's next move is a cut — not the magnitude — to keep rallying; the structural juggernaut of passive 401k inflows into the largest names creates a self-reinforcing bid that is very hard to fight

“materials are looking better industrials are looking better... this is where all the big big big money is going to be made”
90d +3.3% · 180d +7.6%

SPX
bullish
Jeffrey Gundlach · video
AI-driven productivity is expanding corporate profit margins from ~10% to ~20% and creating a jobless prosperity in which wealth concentrates in equities, making the next two to three years an unprecedented individual stock-picking opportunity.

90d +4.9% · 180d +10.1%
