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

Agriculture and fertilizer stocks are attractive on dips; grains cycles point higher for the year, and pullbacks in Bunge (BG) and CF Industries (CF) should be bought for diversification and decent returns.

Bitcoin buy on pullback to 70k
Bitcoin is unlikely to make new lows for 2026; a pullback to the low $70k area offers a good risk-reward buying opportunity. He now believes the lows are in and recommends using dips to add exposure.

No evidence to be bearish, stay long
The US equity market has strong breadth improvement, robust earnings, and no evidence to justify turning bearish. Despite recent fast rally and potential near-term consolidation, the trend is bullish and the market should end the year higher.

Crude oil peaked, bearish outlook
Crude oil has peaked technically; momentum is negative, trendlines broken, and a break below $79 WTI could lead to a rapid decline to $60. Energy stocks are likely to underperform, and seasonality turns negative.

Long-term bond yields set to rise.
Long-term bond yields are likely to rise aggressively in the coming months, driven by a combination of a short-term inflationary blip, wartime spending, and potential Fed policy changes under the new chair. The steepening of the curve will raise risk premia and could act as a catalyst for a stock market pullback in Q3 (July-October). He sees the long end of the curve as a major risk for risk assets.

Emerging markets long on weak dollar

Overweight tech, buy pullbacks
Technology, especially MAG7 and semiconductors, has rallied strongly and earnings and AI capex support further gains, though a near-term 3-5% pullback is likely. He recently went back to overweight tech and advises buying weakness.
