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

The US and Israel are engaging in heavy kinetic strikes. Wasser notes "precious few air defense missiles in the region" are being used up against Iranian drones/missiles. Sanders mentions the use of Patriot and THAAD systems. Grant states the US will "unwind every piece of military hardware in Iran" and mentions B-2 bomber strikes. High-intensity conflict depletes munitions rapidly. RTX (Patriot missiles) and LMT (THAAD/F-35) will see immediate replenishment demand. The destruction of Iranian air defenses and the need for stealth (NOC's B-2/B-21) reinforces the long-term capex cycle for defense primes. LONG. The "expenditure rate" of munitions is higher than current stockpiles, guaranteeing future contracts. A quick diplomatic resolution or a War Powers Resolution limiting funding/scope (though deemed unlikely to pass a veto).
