The signal is indistinguishable from noise.

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 634 deduplicated bets. Calls that named their own timeframe are judged over that window (as a per-month rate); the rest over 1 month.
Indistinguishable from luck

Across 634 bets, @SamanthaLaDuc's average call beat its sector by 0.3% per month, each bet judged on its author's own timeframe (1 month when unstated, or as far into it as the data reaches) — t = 0.5, not enough to tell skill from chance.

could be luckt = 2almost certain

t = 0.5 — 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 634 bets count as 523 effective ones. That's why the honest t is 0.5, not the raw 0.5. Full breakdown on the analysis page.

"China is the largest market for Chips. China bought a lot of lower end DUV because because the Sanctions gave a fantastic impulse to build-out the China ecosystem. The sanctions changed everything. Now the Chinese companies CAN NOT defend buying Western Equipment when there is a China alternative. They have 2 advantages: Low cost of capital (low rates to invest in capex and invest in R&D), and they have 10X the amount of STEM graduates than the US. I think in 10 years the Chip industry in the West will be destroyed and China will be a net exporter of Chips."

How we measured this · download the raw data

We pull @SamanthaLaDuc'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.
