@DudeWhoInvests's calls have trailed their sector by 0.3% per month, winning 47% of the time.
The signal is indistinguishable from noise.
What “return vs sector” means
Across 443 bets, @DudeWhoInvests's average call trailed 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 = -0.4, not enough to tell skill from chance.
t = -0.4 — 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:
Same-week, same-sector calls ride one move, so they prove less than fully independent wins — the 443 bets count as 336 effective ones. That's why the honest t is -0.4, not the raw -0.5. Full breakdown on the analysis page.

“vs sector” compares each call to the stock's own industry — the fairest test of skill.

How we measured this · download the raw data
We pull @DudeWhoInvests'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.
