What “return vs sector” means
Each call's stock vs its own sector — beating the sector, not just going up, is the fair test of skill. Averaged across 1222 deduplicated bets. Calls that named their own timeframe are judged over that window (as a per-month rate); the rest over 1 month.
Unlikely to be luck

Across 1222 bets, @jimcramer's average call beat its sector by 0.8%t = 2.3, unlikely to be luck.

could be luckt = 2almost certain

t = 2.3 — the strength of the evidence. Above 2, there's under a 5% chance it's luck.

How the t-value works

Each call is one bet, scored by how much it beat its own sector (fairer than the whole market). The t-value is the average beat divided by its uncertainty:

t = x̄ ⁄ ( s ⁄ √M ) x̄ = avg beat · s = how much the bets vary · M = number of bets

Same-week, same-sector calls ride one move, so they prove less than fully independent wins — the 1222 bets count as 1073 effective ones. That's why the honest t is 2.3, not the raw 2.4. Full breakdown on the analysis page.

We are back to the pathetic midnight take-up of small caps like the quantums this morning. Very speculative sign. I predict gigantic insider selling on these to take advantage of the runup by Robin Hoodies; RGTI so overvalued

How we measured this · download the raw data

We pull @jimcramer's posts, use AI to extract each call (ticker, direction, conviction), and backtest it against real prices. A call wins only if it beat its own sector over the month after — not just if the stock rose. Headline numbers use deduplicated bets.
