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

Tepper big mad at Whirlpool, he's massive long & we're short. Even the best can be too early; credit cycle has to turn first (ongoing short position confirming active short).

Credo just walked out of the OFC/GTC gauntlet with ultimate receipts: their 1.6T ZeroFlap AECs are officially key part of interconnects for NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL144 and Kyber Ultra NVL576. Credo owns next 36 months of the interconnect.

If you wanted to short an optical name, hard pressed to find a better one than AXTI. Just a matter of time before China clamps down on InP exports altogether, would bring stock down to single digits.

Released investment thesis on CLF Cleveland-Cliffs. Outlines hidden bottleneck of Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES), key material for transformers which can't be made fast enough for data center driven demand.

Soitec isn't the only provider of a critical substrate in the optical revolution; equally important will be NGK Corp. NGK just unveiled world's first 8-inch (200mm) TFLN bonded wafer; aligned with advanced silicon photonics foundry needs (GlobalFoundries, TSMC).
