Model paper portfolio · Go-live 2026-06-01 · Advisory only — no real trades

Forward test — go-live 2026-06-01 · 6 trading days recorded The model portfolio is a live experiment to test the news-vs-expectations thesis out-of-sample. Scores are advisory; no real trades are placed. Early history = noise — label reads loudly until months accrue. The thesis scorecard below will not be meaningful until many more actions are logged.

Thesis Scorecard UNPROVEN LIVE — NEEDS MONTHS; CURRENTLY NOISE
What this will eventually answer: Did news_adj (UNPROVEN LIVE) and surprise_adj (COMMODITY) each improve outcomes beyond the mechanical score alone? Currently 5 buy action(s) logged — statistically meaningless. Re-run guidance.js over many months to build history. Every signal is logged separately so this comparison will become meaningful over time.

DateSymbolActionPrice MechNews adjSurp adj Reason / Cases
2026-07-27 MU HOLD $900.20 0.858 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ r3m +74%, r6m +107%; val_raw 0.88 (EV/EBITDA 7.7 — cheap vs own history); blowout Q3, KeyBanc PT $1,750.
▼ r3m +74% is peak-momentum territory (kb_lesson #7 stretched-momentum flag). Cheap valuation cushions but cyclical memory reversion is the tail risk. Down −22% from post-earnings highs already; further…
2026-07-27 CRDO HOLD $208.14 0.761 +0.150 +0.018
▲▼ cases
▲ Val_raw 1.00; Q4 revenue $437M +157%; FY26 $1.3B+; Zacks #1 Strong Buy.
▼ min_5d −9.87% (heavy-down day in last week) fires the recent-heavy-down flag; small-cap networking name; residual layer-concentration risk with CRDO+ANET(-→ANET sold today).
2026-07-27 EQIX HOLD $1,046.79 0.742 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Cheap own-hist EV/EBITDA 23.6; Q2 AFFO consensus +13.5%; new AI-factory GTM.
▼ Leadership reshuffle adds uncertainty; last surprise −1.86%; sector rate-sensitivity.
2026-07-27 NVDA HOLD $196.53 0.637 +0.150 +0.012
▲▼ cases
▲ Rubin arch 2 quarters ahead; Blackwell sold out through mid-2026; Goldman: 21.7x fwd P/E 'compelling'.
▼ Weakest momentum among holds (r3m -1.5%, r6m +2.1%). Position underwater vs 06-22 entry 210.69. If the mech component keeps decaying, will likely drop out next cycle.
2026-07-27 MRVL HOLD $189.17 0.764 +0.150 -0.016
▲▼ cases
▲ r6m +132.6%; multi-catalyst (NVDA equity, XConn closing, Teralynx); val_raw 1.00 (cheap own-hist EV/EBITDA 15.4).
▼ Signal-disagreement flag technically fires: news bullish (+0.15) but Q1 surprise ordinal slightly negative (inline eps → -1/3 ordinal). Magnitude tiny; not treating as a real conflict.
2026-07-27 DELL HOLD $426.54 0.787 +0.150 +0.050
▲▼ cases
▲ AI-server revenue +757% YoY; FY27 guide raised; stock reversed 07-15 selloff and is +8.67%.
▼ Range_pos 0.88 (near 52w highs) + r6m +260% = classic stretched-momentum flag (kb_lesson #7); val_raw 0.35. Watch — if score-hold slips OR range_pos stays >0.85 into another mech decay, downgrade.
2026-07-27 ASML BUY $1,655.26 0.704 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Multi-signal alignment: beat + raised guide + cheap own-hist valuation; AI/HBM demand cited; range_pos 0.74 not stretched.
▼ Semi-equip cyclicality + export-control tail risk (China); shares fell post-report despite beat (buyer's remorse signal). Single-name choke-point risk in EUV.
2026-07-27 AMD BUY $494.95 0.702 +0.150 +0.003
▲▼ cases
▲ AI Advancing 2026 catalysts: first 2nm production CPU (EPYC Venice), MI455X powers Helios rack; r6m +96%, r3m +40%. All three signals align (mech+news+surp).
▼ Val_raw only 0.35 (EV/EBITDA 47.8 near top of own-hist range) — stretched valuation; kb_lesson #8: valuation is a damper, not a return source. Was sold on 07-13 at 534; re-entering ~40 pts lower is no…
2026-07-27 ANET SELL $170.76 0.539 +0.150 +0.003
▲▼ cases
▲ Bull thesis intact: Arista 7060XE7 1.6Tbps launch, Q2 earnings Aug 4; PT hikes to $200/$210.
▼ Momentum has rolled over vs peers; kb_lessons #7 flags momentum as dominant return driver — riding a name whose mech has fallen is contra-signal. Networking-layer already trimmed (ALAB sold 07-20); CR…
2026-07-20 ALAB SELL $309.09 0.639 -0.150 +0.007
▲▼ cases
▲ Q1 rev $308M +93% YoY, Nasdaq-100 inclusion, still 3/6m momentum-percentile 84th, cheap vs own EV/EBITDA history (val rank 55th).
▼ Bearish news + heavy insider selling ahead of Aug 4 earnings; 21d dd -36% signals momentum breakdown; networking-layer concentration violates kb_lessons diversification rule. Signals disagree with mec…
2026-07-13 MU BUY $937.00 0.648 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Blowout Q3 (rev $41.5B vs $35.8B est), $50B Q4 guide, r6m +177%; oversold pullback reads bullish-vs-expectations.
▼ Memory is deeply cyclical; -4.3% today and ~22% off highs; surprise tilt fully decayed (print >63td ago). Single biggest risk: a memory-cycle rollover.
2026-07-13 CRDO BUY $236.88 0.647 +0.150 +0.077
▲▼ cases
▲ Strong 3/6m momentum, above MAs; recent EPS beat +13% (surprise tilt +0.077); bullish long-horizon news.
▼ Fell -8.1% today (in deterioration scan); adds to networking concentration with ALAB/ANET; small-cap high-beta connectivity name, momentum-driven (kb_lesson: momentum regime-dependent).
2026-07-13 ANET BUY $181.15 0.603 +0.150 +0.010
▲▼ cases
▲ 7060XE7 1.6Tbps AI-switch launch drove +7%; KeyBanc $200 / TD Cowen $210 hikes; range_pos 0.90, above 50/200d MAs.
▼ Networking sleeve now 3/8 (ALAB,CRDO,ANET) - correlated AI-networking bet, and todays scan flagged networking as a rolling-over layer. Single biggest risk: a networking-capex air-pocket hits all three…
2026-07-13 ENTG SELL $136.27 0.518 +0.000 +0.022
▲▼ cases
▲ Cheap own-history EV/EBITDA; foundry-materials exposure.
▼ Down 24% through stop 164; foundry layer flagged rolling over in todays deterioration scan (5 names); no news tailwind to offset the breakdown.
2026-07-13 ARM SELL $298.99 0.569 -0.150 +0.011
▲▼ cases
▲ High historical momentum, silicon-IP licensing franchise.
▼ Price -32% below entry and through stop 404; bearish-vs-expectations news; mechanics still elevated but price+news both broke - textbook stretched-momentum unwind (kb_lesson: momentum is regime-depend…
2026-07-13 AMD SELL $534.39 0.695 +0.000 +0.010
▲▼ cases
▲ Strong mechanical momentum (0.695), up ~287% 1y; analyst targets $600-640.
▼ News neutralized ahead of two-sided Jul-22 Zen6 launch + Aug-4 print; rank slipped to 10 as fresher news-backed names scored higher - momentum without a news tailwind.
2026-06-22 DELL add $418.99 0.808 +0.150 +0.145
▲▼ cases

2026-06-22 EQIX buy $1,092.19 0.894 +0.150 -0.062
