BUZZBERG Alpha Score combines three things: realized average return, confidence in the sample size, idea volume, and speaker reputation. Speakers with only a few calls are pulled closer to the platform average; speakers with many evaluated ideas keep more of their own return. Reputation only boosts: 5.0 or lower is neutral, while scores above 5 add weight. Scores are normalized to 0-100; 100 is best. Read the FAQ

Speaker confirms ongoing long position in $AEHR (semiconductor burn-in testing); points to his CPO testing article as the thesis supporting the trade and notes the market often offers re-entry opportunities.

Buy MU on any post-earnings dip; stock is flying on high expectations and a pullback after the ER would be a buying opportunity in a still-bullish memory cycle.

Buy COHR as demand visibility is exceptional — 2026 sold out, 2027 nearly booked, 2028 orders starting, NVIDIA LTA through 2030 locks in pricing; revenue is now supply-constrained not demand-constrained, with margin expansion from 37% to 40% and eight growth engines including CPO and OCS.

Buy MRVL as the market has begun re-rating the stock — up nearly 2x in two months — and the speaker's analysis examines remaining upside in the re-rating process, implying the move is not yet complete.

Buy AMD as hyperscalers like Meta aggressively adopt AMD accelerators to reduce single-vendor Nvidia dependency; AMD's open ROCm ecosystem and full-stack CPU/GPU/DPU positioning allows it to absorb AI demand that Nvidia cannot fully supply.

Buy/hold DRAM ETF for increased exposure to Korean memory companies; author sees potential $SKHY launch as a long-term catalyst that could support further upside in DRAM rather than cannibalize it.

Author explicitly endorses quoted thesis and confirms active buying on weakness; endorsed rationale cites real AI-buildout catalysts, improving revenue/backlog, and demand exceeding supply as reasons to accumulate across tranches.

Co-mentioned alongside MU in a bullish memory basket; any MU-driven post-ER dip in memory names would drag SNDK lower and create a buying opportunity.

Buy CSCO as the author argues the market is beginning to re-rate the stock, likely tied to optical networking/AI infrastructure themes outlined in their prior research; reasoning is largely paywalled but the bullish stance is explicit and long-held.
