On the record.
1347 claims. Exact words, named, dated, sourced.
Everything we’ve written down from the people who call the markets, grouped by the question they’re arguing about. These are views on the record, not scored bets; the scoreboard tracks the calls specific enough to grade. The bar on each card is the bull share of the bull-and-bear count. New claims land most mornings.

Single claims
On the record, not yet a debate.
BullMarkets Watch
The economic 'constellations' underpinning his case that policy is not particularly restrictive.
Corporate earnings are through the roof. They're doing great. The consumer is hanging in there. The labor market is hanging in there.
BullEnergy
Record 17.93bn euro quarterly orders; only ~20 percent of gas turbine orders AI-related, no cancellations.
it's not all about AI so I'm not seeing that concern. I do see obviously that at the end everything has to be built but what I also see is a long term growth trend in electricity and this gives me also for the next years to come comfort
BearFx Dollar
Asset owners questioning US policy predictability and Fed independence; Warsh may be the first chair in 45 years who must prove independence. EVENT: will, multiyear.
I think actually I think over the next several years you're going to see US dollar depreciation resume so I think we will get a weakening dollar.
BearCommodities
Copper toward 5 on a normal equity correction; metals are sock puppets of stocks.
I fully expect it to be more likely to head towards five than stay much above these levels, particularly if you get a normal correction to stock market. That's a problem. My headline for last month's commodity outlook for industrial metals and metals were they're sock puppets, the US stock market.
NeutralBoj
contrarian on BOJ hiking further; no internal inflationary forces compel hikes
“the window the ripe window has has long since passed”
NeutralRba
calls the RBA cycle over; Australia among first to cut in 2027
“I think they're done. And I think that suffering economy suggests they could be one of the first to have to pivot to outright cuts in 2027”
BullHealthcare
big cap pharma and biotech turning to resilience and leadership
“We like health care a lot”
BullIndustrials
the less debated AI capex play
“we do like industrials. It's receiving a lot of the expenditure from these big cap tech companies”
BullHedge Funds
Citadel's discounted purchase of the fund's book; checkable vs performance figures
“It should lift the returns. It should be a sweet deal for them and for their investors.”
NeutralStarlink
wont-claim: Starlink will not compete with Veon in its markets; CEO talking his own book, Veon holds the licenses and calls itself Starlink's biggest partner
“I do not see any intent of Starlink to come and do the groundwork of this type of business.”
BullFord Ev
the 2027 universal EV platform pickup, CFO guidance, book disclosed
“aimed at about $30, 000 as the starting price”
BearAi Exposure
reducing his own AI exposure, personal-money admission. PERSONAL-MONEY admission; de-risking, not shorting
“I sold my Google a couple of months ago”
BearPositioning
sitting in cash until the picture clears. wait-and-see posture, not a crash call
“I've got cash”
BullRecession
macro resilience call. caveat on tape: sentiment already slipping
“I'm not worried about the economy slipping into recession”
BullValuation
pushing back on bubble comparisons. comparative claim, not a cheapness claim
“1999 and 2000 were far more expensive than we have today”
BearMargin Debt
the caution inside his bull case. STRENGTH corrected firm->leaning: a scoped caveat from a bull
“I think the second big story out there is that margin debt still needs to work off that high level”
BearCrypto Sentiment
where the attention went
“The crypto bros can do whatever the hell they want. The girls have moved on to AI”
NeutralCrypto Adoption
what stalled retail adoption. STANCE corrected bear->neutral: past-tense diagnosis, not a price call
“Trump came in and he karate chopped that with the meme coin”
BullCrypto Portfolio
his own book, disclosed. holdings disclosure, not a forecast; he puts only 20-40% odds on the Clarity Act in the same tape
“I'm long Bitcoin, Avalanche, Solana”
BullTokenization
endorsing the Fink thesis. attribution on tape: Larry Fink is right immediately precedes
“Everything's going to get tokenized”
NeutralGeopolitics
Iran read of the situation
“They miscalculated once again dealing with President Trump”
BullAnthropic
AI revenue acceleration example. the number is Anthropic's, recited secondhand by Wood; not her holding
“annualized run rate go from nine billion to forty seven billion”
BearSovereign Debt
macro backdrop for metals. STRENGTH corrected firm->hedged: conditional on a rate breakout he only sees developing
“the risks for sovereign debt crisis are starting to increase sharply”
NeutralAi Open
open-weight models stance. STANCE corrected bull->neutral: policy advocacy, no asset direction
“open models is essential for safety”
NeutralWealth
retirement wealth backdrop. STANCE corrected bull->neutral: a statistic; the inference lives around it
“baby boomers have $90 trillion”
BearNatgas Europe
European gas storage. low storage implies upward gas-price pressure; bear tag is about the supply situation
“lowest seasonal level in about five years”
BearIntel
Intel Ohio fab delay. his overall Intel take on tape is mixed-to-constructive; profit-taking, not collapse
“pushed that to 2030”
BearGbp
British pound valuation. magnitude modest on tape: some depreciation creeping in, not a crash call
“one of the most over valued currencies on our metrics across the G 10”
BullOil Products
product prices under strain. STANCE corrected bear->bull: worsening product prices is the directional payload; crack-inflated product prices, not crude
“diesel is 180 a barrel here gasoline is 140 dollars a barrel”
BullEarnings
earnings support for stocks. half of a two-sided framing that nets to his summer-stall call
“very bullish environment on the earnings”
S&P 500 since this was said: ▲ +4.4% · 7,412 → 7,742 · as of 2026-08-05
NeutralValue Investing
value vs growth era. inverted impression if shown alone: it is the preamble to a bullish value case by a value manager
“This has been a terrible 15 years for value”
BearMstr
Strategy (Saylor) equity if BTC breaks. no timeframe; path partly conditional on BTC breaking 50,000
“the common stock will be worthless”
NeutralGold Vs Btc
1-year scoreboard he cites. HOST-SPEAKING concession, immediately rebutted by his own longer-horizon stats
“Gold is up 21% over the last year. Bitcoin is down 45%.”
Bitcoin since this was said: ▼ -0.5% · 65,033 → 64,703 · as of 2026-08-05
BearAi Revenue
questioning where AI revenue to service the debt comes from. his own characterization; he concedes on tape it sounds alarmist; bearish force depends on the omitted $1.68T comparison
“the global software industry is less than 800 billion dollars”
BullGold Miners
Novagold valuation pitch, he co-chairs. MATERIAL CONFLICT: he announced the merger and becomes co-chair; his own promotional arithmetic
“you're buying gold in the ground at only $119 per ounce”
Gold since this was said: ▲ +3.9% · 4,147 → 4,310 · as of 2026-08-05
