The day's moves on the ledger
Every entry below is public and permanent.
- Sep 9, 2026 · AMD — Stage change Buy Zone → Hold @ $521
Up 13% from our $460 entry in three sessions on the Citi-conference AI-demand reiteration and the Helios rack ramp; 9% left to our $568 value. Data center up 107% keeps the thesis, but buy-zone means buy today — at 33x forward this is a hold. - Sep 9, 2026 · META — Stage change Buy Zone → Hold @ $654
Muse landed and the stock ripped 6.5% to $654 on the day — the pullback that made this a buy-zone is gone. Ads grow 28% and the agent finally gives the capex a consumer product, but with 15% left to our $752 value this is a hold, not a chase.
