Just got to San Jose, might get to see some of you guys.

I actually noticed this Smart Guy the last time he dropped his rankings, but he didn't have our data in there so I didn't repost it. Glad to see us included this time.

This dude is seriously sharp. If you think about it, using Claude Code to track all the Substack and sell-side analyst track records means he's basically already running a book as a PM. He could literally rebalance position weights every quarter based on the scores.

I was also pretty surprised that the AI counted nearly 160 calls from us. That's probably because we put out reports almost every day, and we don't just cover SEMI, we cover a ton of Software and Internet names too.

Some of our takeaways as a Substack writer:

-SEMI is hands down the best sector right now, and covering SEMI stocks definitely boosts your returns and win rate.

-Our Substack is built for hedge fund analysts and PMs, so on top of SEMI we also cover Software and Internet names that could be affected by AI. Sometimes our checks point to strong numbers, sometimes they point to soft numbers, but either way the win rate in those two sectors isn't going to match SEMI.

-I think what really sets us apart is that we're not just throwing out one-off narratives. We do previews, reviews, channel checks, and technology deep dives during the earnings quiet period. Our analysts genuinely hold themselves to the same bar as top-tier buy-side analysts.

-Long-term conviction matters a lot, but since we update every quarter, that can weigh on our 180-day returns. That's something we need to work on improving.
