Run-by-run detail

The fund's full reasoning for each scoring run, in its own words. More technical than the plain-English summary above.

2026-07-14 74 +6

TLN's momentum is the standout at 71 and valuation (PE 12.8) remains attractive for a power name with a differentiated nuclear/data-center angle — this matches the winning pattern we've seen historically. Thesis and win-prob are both middling at 52, and risk quality is weak, so I'm not upgrading conviction aggressively. But nothing signals breakdown; the tape is confirming. Hold the name and let the Sizer decide weight.

2026-07-13 68 -9

Own-stock momentum is the standout at 76 and matches the pattern that worked for us on power/AI names earlier. Thesis and win-prob are middling and risk-quality is weak. Neutral-constructive hold — the stock's own tape is confirming, but the forward asymmetry is not compelling enough to add. Let Sizer manage from here.

2026-07-12 77 +7

Held long with the best momentum in the power bucket and cheapest multiple. Thesis and win-prob are only middling but the technical setup is confirming and the AI power demand tailwind persists. Hold size, don't add — sizing is the Sizer's call.

2026-07-11 70 -12

Held name with the best momentum of the power cluster and a genuinely cheap PE, but win-probability is only average and there's no specific catalyst. Forward view is neutral-constructive — a hold at current size, not an add. Sizer can decide trim vs hold on portfolio grounds.

2026-07-10 82 +7

Best-in-batch momentum with a cheap PE and intact AI power thesis. Win-prob only middling but the stock's own tape is holding up better than peers. Held name worth keeping; not a conviction addition.

2026-07-09 75 +22

Held long with the strongest momentum in the power sleeve (74) and attractive valuation. Thesis and win-prob are only middling, but momentum is confirming and catalyst is supportive. Not a top-tier name from here, but forward setup doesn't warrant cutting. Hold-size.

2026-07-08 53 -21

Held long but forward signals are lukewarm — thesis and win-prob both hovering at 52, no direct catalyst, and intrinsic risk_quality is poor. PE of 12.1 is attractive but that alone doesn't justify holding a name where two specialists show no edge. Trim on evidence of deteriorating conviction.

2026-07-07 74 -3

Low-PE nuclear/power play with intact AI demand thesis and momentum flattening out. Not strong enough to press but the setup is more constructive than CEG/VST. Hold at existing weight; wait for a re-rating catalyst before adding.

2026-07-06 77 +21

TLN is the best-setup power name in this batch on a forward basis — momentum is the strongest at 66, valuation is by far the cheapest (PE 12), and the AI data center power thesis is intact. Held long makes sense. Not core-conviction given low risk_quality, but a legitimate hold.

2026-07-05 56 -20

Catalyst backdrop is supportive but thesis and win-probability are only middling and momentum has rolled over from the highs. Risk quality at 40 is a concern. Not a name to lean into from here; the setup is a hold-at-best that leans toward trimming given better power-sector alternatives in the book.

2026-07-04 76 +19

Bull thesis intact but the forward setup is only middling — thesis in the 52nd percentile, weak momentum, and risk quality of 40. Data center power demand is real but TLN has pulled back and needs a catalyst to reassert. Held name, so hold and let the Sizer decide sizing; not compelling enough to add.

2026-07-03 57 -16

Middle-of-the-pack thesis, weak momentum, and lower-quality risk profile. Bull narrative on nuclear/AI power is real but TLN is the weakest expression of it versus CEG/EQIX/ETN. No convergence and no confirming momentum. Trim on the forward view; sizing details are the Sizer's.

2026-06-30 73 +3

Balanced setup — nuclear/power-AI thematic intact, reasonable PE, but no edge from here. Pulled back from highs, needs catalyst to resume. Mid-pack across the board; sizing decision is the Sizer's call.

2026-06-29 70 -19

Middling on every dimension — neither the breakout setup that wins (not at 52wk high) nor a clear breakdown. Held position so I'll let the Sizer decide sizing; my forward view is neutral pending a fresh catalyst or new-high reclaim.

2026-06-28 89 -2

Best setup in the energy-power complex this batch: pressing 52w high with strong weekly momentum and reasonable 14x PE. Thesis percentile is middling but win-probability and price action are confirming. Breakout above $451 would extend the move. Constructive hold from here.

2026-06-27 91 +7

Best setup in the power complex within this batch — within 3.4% of 52w high on +6.46% weekly move, reasonable PE 14, intact AI power demand tailwind. Win-prob 65 confirms. Thesis percentile compressed only because newer names rose. Hold and let it work.

2026-06-26 84 +1

Held nuclear/power name 3.4% from 52wk high with +6.46% weekly move. Win-probability of 65 and catalyst at 55 keep this constructive. Not a top-tier conviction — thesis percentile is middling at 55 — but the setup is intact and breakout is in reach. Hold.

2026-06-25 83 -7

Approaching breakout above $451 with strong weekly move and reasonable PE for the power theme. Win-probability outweighs the middling thesis percentile and the stock is doing the work technically. Not top-tier conviction because catalyst is generic sector-wide rather than TLN-specific, but the forward setup is constructive. Hold and let the Sizer decide concentration.

2026-06-24 90 +1

Setup is constructive: +6.5% weekly move, 3.4% from 52w high, and SoftBank's nuclear-grid-citing $87B announcement is a clean thesis confirm. Win-prob outranks thesis here and it's solidly above 65. A confirmed breakout above $451 would push this higher. Hold-grade conviction; sizing is the Sizer's call.

2026-06-23 89 -6

Best-positioned of the power names technically — 3.4% from 52w high with strong weekly momentum and reasonable PE. Win-probability beats thesis here, which is the right tiebreaker. Constructive forward setup; breakout above $451 would confirm continuation.

2026-06-22 95 +5

Classic winner pattern: bull power-infra name within 3.4% of 52wk high with strong weekly move and reasonable PE of 14. Win-probability favorable and momentum confirming. Thesis percentile is mid-pack but the tape is doing the talking, which is exactly the lesson from MRVL/MU. Stay long.

2026-06-21 90 0

Best forward setup in this batch among the power names: strong own-stock momentum, reasonable win-prob, cheap multiple, and a direct AI-power catalyst. Thesis percentile is only mid-tier because the rest of the watchlist is hot, but the forward picture from here is constructive. Hold and let the Sizer decide concentration.

2026-06-20 90 +1

Best momentum in batch at 96th percentile with a still-cheap PE on a power/AI demand thesis. Win-prob 65 and catalyst 55 are constructive. Pattern matches our infrastructure-hardware winners — momentum confirming sector tide. Hold with conviction; sizing concentration is the Sizer's call.

2026-06-19 89 -2

Strong momentum at 96 with reasonable win-probability and an attractive valuation in a tailwind sector. Thesis percentile is middling and catalyst is neutral today, but the forward technical setup and AI-power narrative warrant constructive conviction. Hold size and concentration are the Sizer's problem.

2026-06-18 91 +1

Strong momentum profile fits our winning AI-infrastructure-adjacent pattern — nuclear power generator with cheap multiple and a structural data-center-power tailwind. WP at 65 plus catalyst support and elite momentum justify constructive conviction. Thesis percentile is only mid because newer names rank higher, but the forward setup is solid. Hold the existing position; sizing is the Sizer's call.

2026-06-17 90 -1

Momentum is the standout signal at 92 — exactly the breakout-on-AI-power-demand setup our winners playbook flags. WP at 65 and reasonable valuation support the held position. Thesis percentile is mid (55) and risk_quality is weak, capping conviction below the strong zone, but the forward setup remains constructive.

2026-06-16 91 +7

Strong momentum and a constructive win-probability on a nuclear/power AI beneficiary with cheap valuation. Thesis percentile is mid-pack and there's no named catalyst in the last 14 days, which keeps this from being a top-tier conviction. But the technical setup and forward setup remain solid — hold.

2026-06-15 84 +21

Constructive setup — strong momentum, reasonable valuation, bull thesis on power for AI. But thesis_pct at 55 and catalyst_pct at 50 with no name-specific headline today means it doesn't clear the convergence bar (need thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65). Watchlist-worthy, not a buy today.

2026-06-14 63 -2

Middle-of-the-road read across the board. Reasonable valuation and decent momentum but no convergence trigger — thesis_pct=55 and win_prob=55 both well below the 60/65 new_buy bar. Wait for a concrete PPA or earnings catalyst.

2026-06-14 65 +10

Specialists give a uniformly average read with no convergence. Thesis 55 and Win-Prob 55 both fall short of the new-buy bar (60/65). Cheap nuclear-power AI play is interesting but lacks the specific catalyst or thesis strength to act now. Watchlist hold.

2026-06-13 55 -8

Nothing converges. Thesis and win-prob both at 55 is a textbook skip. Low PE is attractive but no catalyst urgency and sector already heavy in portfolio. Pass.

2026-06-12 63 +5

Decent valuation and catalyst support but no convergence — thesis_pct 55 and win_prob 55 both below the bar. Energy-power book already heavy. Pass for now.

2026-06-11 58 +1

Nothing converges. Thesis 55, win prob 55, catalyst 30. Bull case depends on data center power demand exactly when T2 sources report the buildout is cracking. No reason to add given existing CEG/VST/ETN/EQIX exposure. Skip.

2026-06-10 57 -5

Across-the-board mid-50s scores fail the convergence bar for new_buy (need thesis>=60 and win_prob>=65). Sector already crowded with held names. No edge. Skip.

2026-06-09 62 0

Everything in the mid-50s with weak risk_quality and no stock-specific catalyst. Doesn't meet new_buy convergence bar (thesis<60). Pass.

2026-06-08 62 0

Middling on all four specialists with no convergence. Doesn't clear the 60/65 thesis-win bar for new buys. Energy-power concentration argues against adding another correlated name when EQIX and ETN already provide the exposure.

2026-06-07 62 -1

TLN has attractive valuation and sector tailwind but neither thesis (55) nor win_prob (60) clears the convergence bar. Modest momentum (38) doesn't justify override. Already-crowded sleeve. Skip.

2026-06-06 63 -3

Reasonable bull setup with cheap multiple but neither thesis (55) nor win_prob (60) clears the convergence bar. No direct named catalysts, only indirect AI-power narrative. Not differentiated enough vs already-held EQIX/ETN to justify adding correlated exposure.

2026-06-05 66 -1

Cheapest power name with reasonable setup but win_prob 60 misses the 65 convergence floor and thesis_pct only 55. No direct catalyst and the sleeve is already crowded. Pass.

2026-06-04 67 -2

Most attractively valued of the power names but thesis ranking is mid-pack and convergence bar not cleared. We already own the higher-quality energy-power expressions. Skip in favor of existing positions.

2026-06-03 69 0

Cheap valuation and reasonable momentum but neither thesis (55) nor win_probability (60) clears the new_buy bar. Adding a fourth energy-power name when sleeve is already 24% is hard to justify. Skip — better risk/reward elsewhere in batch.

2026-06-02 69 -6

Decent setup with attractive valuation and reasonable momentum, but thesis_pct=55 and win_prob=60 both below convergence bar. Adding to already-crowded energy-power sleeve not justified. Skip.

2026-06-01 75 -1

Cheapest of the power names with decent momentum and supportive Computex catalyst, but win_prob 60 just misses the 65 convergence floor and thesis_pct 55 is middling. Skip but keep on watch — best of the power sleeve.

2026-05-31 76 +7

Most attractive of the three pure power plays — cheapest multiple, best momentum, decent win-prob. But still misses convergence bar (thesis 54 < 60, win-prob 62 < 65). Energy-power sleeve already crowded. Keep on close watch; would upgrade on a direct nuclear/datacenter PPA headline.

2026-05-30 69 -3

Best technical setup of the power names with momentum and a cheap multiple, but thesis_pct of 54 doesn't clear the new_buy bar. Energy-power sleeve already crowded. Monitor for direct catalyst headline to elevate.

2026-05-29 72 -9

Cheapest nuclear-AI-power name with decent momentum, but thesis_pct=54 and no direct catalyst keep it below the new_buy convergence bar (need 60/65). Skip without prejudice — would reconsider on a direct datacenter PPA headline.

2026-05-28 81 +13

Best of the pure-play power names with strong momentum, attractive valuation, and AI datacenter tailwind. But thesis_pct 54 and win_prob 62 fall just below convergence bar. Indirect catalyst only. Keep on watchlist; could elevate if direct catalyst emerges.

2026-05-27 68 -13

TLN screens well on momentum and performance with attractive valuation for a nuclear-AI play, but lacks a direct catalyst in this window and thesis is mid-pack. WP=62 just misses the 65 convergence bar. Best of the three power watchlist names on technicals but not enough to pull the trigger.

2026-05-26 81 -2

Best technical setup of the power names — momentum 86, strong performance, attractive PE. But thesis_pct 54 and win_prob 62 just miss the convergence bar. Closest to a new buy in this batch; if win_prob ticks up next read this becomes a starter. Hold off this week.

2026-05-25 83 +12

Talen has the best momentum/performance profile of the power names with attractive valuation and direct datacenter power catalysts. But win_probability=62 and thesis_pct=54 both fall short of the new_buy convergence bar. Closest to qualifying — keep on tight watch. If win_prob crosses 65 next cycle, this becomes a buy.

2026-05-24 71 -8

Best of the power names on momentum and valuation, but convergence bar (thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65) is not met. Strongest in the batch but not enough to trigger new buy. Keep on close watch.

2026-05-23 79 +2

Best-looking of the power names on momentum and valuation but thesis_pct=54 and win_prob=60 both below convergence bar. -5.28% 5d. Interesting watchlist name but no new_buy trigger today.

2026-05-22 77 +4

TLN has the best momentum and cheapest valuation of the power names, but thesis_pct 54 and win_prob 60 don't clear the convergence bar (need thesis>=60 AND win_prob>=65). Sector is already heavy in portfolio. Skip but keep watching — if win_prob ticks up, this is the most actionable power add.

2026-05-21 73 +2

Best win-probability of the power names with attractive valuation and momentum. Still fails convergence (thesis 54, win_prob 60 — both short of bars). Closest call of the power trio but skip on rules.

2026-05-20 71 +13

Closest of the power names to convergence but still falls short — thesis 54 and win-prob 60 both below the new_buy bar. Attractive valuation noted but no urgent catalyst. Skip.

2026-05-19 58 -15

Best of the energy-power watchlist trio with attractive 9.8x PE and decent win-prob, but neither thesis nor win-prob clears the new_buy bar. Sector concentration argues against adding another power name. Skip but flag for re-evaluation if momentum turns.

2026-05-18 73 +8

Most attractive of the power names on valuation and relative performance, with win_prob at 60. Still misses the new_buy convergence bar (thesis 54, win_prob 60 — neither at the 60/65 threshold). Watchlist priority within the power sleeve.

2026-05-17 65 -10

TLN has the cleanest valuation in the power sleeve but win_prob 58 and thesis 54 both fall short of the convergence bar. No direct catalyst in current news flow. Skip as new buy.

2026-05-16 75 +13

Most attractive of the watchlist power names — undemanding valuation, strong trailing performance, nuclear differentiation. But still fails new-buy convergence (win_prob 58 < 65, thesis_pct 54 < 60), and recent action shows institutional distribution. Catalyst is generic sector narrative. Hold off; revisit on momentum confirmation.

2026-05-15 62

Watchlist name fails convergence (thesis 54, win_prob 58 — both below new_buy thresholds). Reasonable PE (11x) and AI-power story intact, but momentum at 24 and the broader power-trade rolling over (see VST, CEG) argue for patience. Skip.
