Returns  90d +2.9% (n=27) · 180d +12.6% (n=27) · 1y +20.5% (n=27)

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.

bullish / bearish is a view they argued; owns / short is a position they said they hold.

2025-07-18 TSLA bullish The Compound · video
Extreme sentiment negativity around Elon Musk from both political sides, high short interest in ARK (which holds Tesla), and Tesla comprising ~18% of consumer discretionary means the next leg of the bull market likely can't happen without it rallying
“if this bull market's got legs... is that going to happen with consumer discretionary stocks falling? Probably not”
90d +30.1% · 180d +33.2% · 1y +12.1%
Stocks Break Out All Over The World | TCAF 200
2025-07-18 AMZN bullish The Compound · video
Amazon at 22% of consumer discretionary is the sector leader, and a continued bull market leg cannot coexist with consumer discretionary selling off, making Amazon a necessary participant in any further upside
“one of the biggest reasons why I like Tesla to continue higher is because I'm bullish Amazon”
90d -5.2% · 180d +4.7% · 1y +10.6%
Stocks Break Out All Over The World | TCAF 200
2025-07-18 ETH bullish The Compound · video
ETH/BTC ratio is breaking a significant downtrend that hasn't been seen in years, with Ethereum quietly grinding higher even as Bitcoin experienced a reversal — a rare divergence that signals relative strength and altcoin season beginning
“all along that time, Ethereum is just grinding higher”
90d +8.7% · 180d -4.6% · 1y -46.0%

2025-07-18 XBI bullish The Compound · video
Short interest in XBI is at multi-year highs, Russell 2000 shorts at record, and historically major market tops have never occurred with this level of short interest in small caps — extreme pessimism in biotech creates a contrarian squeeze setup
“the short interest right now in the XBI is as high as it's been in years”
90d +25.1% · 180d +47.5% · 1y +75.8%
Stocks Break Out All Over The World | TCAF 200
2025-07-18 GILD bullish The Compound · video
Gilead is breaking out to multi-year highs after 15 years of going nowhere, making it one of only two top-10 IBB holdings showing any technical life in a sector with dead price action
“near the 52-week high list, multi-year high”
90d +9.7% · 180d +16.2% · 1y +26.3%
Stocks Break Out All Over The World | TCAF 200
2025-07-18 ALNY bullish The Compound · video

90d +50.1% · 180d +14.5% · 1y -14.9%

2025-01-17 GOLD bullish The Compound · video
Gold is the best-performing asset of the 21st century and remains in a secular bull market driven by commodity super cycle dynamics; JC targets $5,000 as the next milestone en route to potentially $8,000–$10,000
“gold to 5,000 because you got to get to five before you get to 10”
90d +22.8% · 180d +23.7% · 1y +75.4%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 DIS owns The Compound · video
Republicans hating Disney over 'woke' content is the direct analog to Democrats hating Tesla in summer 2024; JC expects political bias to get squeezed out of bearish Disney positions just as the short-Tesla trade imploded, targeting $150
“I Own It Disney I think this going to 150”
90d -20.8% · 180d +12.4% · 1y +4.2%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 NVDA bullish The Compound · video
What others read as a head-and-shoulders top in Nvidia is actually a continuation pattern in a bull market; semiconductors as a group are not completing a top and JC targets $175
“Nvidia doesn't look like a downtrend to me I still think it goes to 175”
90d -26.3% · 180d +24.5% · 1y +29.3%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 US SMALL CAP STOCKS bullish The Compound · video
Small caps are holding key technical levels after round-tripping the post-election rally, and a potential dollar rollover would be a significant catalyst for new all-time highs this quarter
“I think small caps make new alltime highs this quarter”
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 KC bullish The Compound · video
Kingsoft Cloud stands out on a Chinese stock screen ranked by relative strength and 100-day rate of change, showing a textbook base breakout; the $2B market cap and explosive momentum create potential for a 5-7x return if China's new bull market unfolds
“you could be looking at a five six seven bagger here potentially”
90d +10.7% · 180d +43.3% · 1y +13.7%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 COPPER bullish The Compound · video
Copper historically doesn't diverge far from gold in commodity super cycles; with gold already at all-time highs JC sees copper as the next leg to $7, with Freeport-McMoRan as the primary equity vehicle despite a poor-looking chart
“I think Copper's next copper to seven”
90d +8.1% · 180d +25.4% · 1y +31.0%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 BANKS bullish The Compound · video
The equally-weighted index of the six largest US banks just broke out above its Great Financial Crisis high to new all-time highs, and CCAR capital-return restrictions are expected to ease, allowing record buybacks and dividends
“Wells and City are they look like biotechs that just got a great clinical phase two”
90d -16.3% · 180d +0.4% · 1y +10.6%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 China Equities bullish The Compound · video
Chinese equities just recorded their biggest momentum thrust on record (best week, day, and two-day period ever), and historically such thrusts occur at the START of bull markets, not the end; combined with Trump-Xi deal prospects and potential dollar…
“these momentum thrusts very consistently happen at the beginning of bull markets not at the end”
90d +6.6% · 180d +25.0% · 1y +31.0%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2025-01-17 BKR bullish The Compound · video
Oil is breaking out of a massive multi-year base in what JC believes is a commodity super cycle; he prefers oil field services over producers and owns Baker Hughes as his primary equity vehicle, also holding the producer ETF IEO for broader exposure
“I think this is one of the fattest pitches in the market right now”
90d -16.0% · 180d -16.0% · 1y +12.5%
JC's Revenge | TCAF 174
2024-08-09 CNK bullish The Compound · video
Cinemark made new 52-week highs on the Monday August 5th broad selloff day, showing the kind of relative strength that signals institutional accumulation and identifies a stock as likely recovery leadership once market tension eases
“Cinemark...was making new 52 week highs on Monday”

2024-08-09 ISRG owns The Compound · video
Intuitive Surgical demonstrated exceptional relative strength during the August 2024 broad market selloff, trading near 52-week highs and barely declining, signaling that large institutions are not selling and the stock is a likely recovery leader
“I own intuitive surgical full disclosure”
90d +13.1% · 180d +27.5% · 1y +1.8%
The Dumbest Crash Ever | TCAF 153
2024-08-09 UPS bearish The Compound · video
UPS is filling a 2021 gap and showing one of the worst chart setups in the market while sector peers FedEx, Old Dominion, and Ryder are at or near all-time highs, representing a stark negative divergence within an otherwise healthy transport sector
“that UPS chart looks as bad as this looks good”
90d -8.0% · 180d +8.8% · 1y +27.5%
The Dumbest Crash Ever | TCAF 153
2024-08-09 long CSX / long UNP / long FDX basket The Compound · video

The Dumbest Crash Ever | TCAF 153
2024-08-09 long DXJ / long Japan Equities other The Compound · video
Splitting Japan equity exposure 50/50 between yen-hedged DXJ and unhedged EWJ eliminates the need to correctly time the currency while maintaining full exposure to the Japanese equity recovery
90d +10.7% · 180d +11.5% · 1y +26.8%
