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

S&P 500 uptrend is intact, recent rally valid.
The S&P 500 has been at a new high 7% of all days since 1957, indicating the general direction of travel is up. The recent 10% rally in 10 days is not a head fake and suggests the low is in, as the market was not overextended before the rally and is discerning between sectors, with AI, tech, and power driving gains.
