The Scorecard is the post-analysis directory for LF0 directional equity research calls. It links each review back to the original LF0 article and tracks what happened after publication. This page always shows the most recent 6 months — older calls move to the archive pages linked below.
The rule is simple: I am excluding HOLD ratings and reviewing only the directional calls: Strong Buy, Buy, Sell, and Strong Sell. For each one, I want to answer three questions:
Was the call correct so far?
What part of the original thesis has mattered most?
What would make the call wrong from here?
The scorecard is built to be shared.Use it to audit the current Buy/Sell track record, then open the original research behind each call.
LF0 beat SPY in 5 of 6 monthly cohorts with benchmark data. How these are calculated: each monthly cohort is every Buy/Strong Buy (long) and Sell/Strong Sell (short) published that month, equal-weighted, with every call measured from its own entry date to the latest price date. Because each cohort is measured to today, cohorts cover different lengths of time (an older month has had longer to move than the latest month). The statistics above are therefore simple summaries across cohorts: the average, the median, the best and the worst. We deliberately do not compound the cohorts into a cumulative return or annualise a Sharpe ratio, because the windows overlap and would double count time. SPY (same window) is SPY measured over exactly the same entry-to-latest windows as the calls it is compared with.

LF0 return is the equal-weighted return from going long each Buy/Strong Buy and short each Sell/Strong Sell published that month, each measured from its own entry date to its latest price date. SPY (same window) averages SPY over those same call-specific windows, so “Ahead of SPY” compares like with like. SPY (calendar month) is the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) price change from the last trading day of the previous month to the last trading day of the month, the way most public sources quote monthly returns. Months marked * are month-to-date. Source: Yahoo Finance.
