Apple has overtaken Nvidia to become the world's most valuable company as semiconductor stocks pull back and investors shift focus toward sustainable AI earnings.
verdict FRESH, direction bullish -> buy AAPL (other: Apple has overtaken Nvidia to become the world's most valuable company as semiconductor stocks pull back and investors shift focus toward sustainable AI earnings.)
overnight drift: buy AAPL at close, exit next close (other: Apple has overtaken Nvidia to become the world's most valuable company as semiconductor stocks pull back and investors shift focus toward sustainable AI earnings.) [skipped at close: duplicate — already holding S4 buy AAPL exiting 2026-07-20]
Entry vs. outcome: The "FRESH" verdict was generous — Apple overtaking Nvidia in market cap is a consequence of a move already priced in, not a forward-looking catalyst, and the trade behaved accordingly: max drawdown (-1.22%) was over 3x the max favorable excursion (+0.37%), and the +2.25 USD gain is basically noise. You bought a lagging milestone headline and got lucky closing slightly green.
Concrete improvement: Reclassify milestone/ranking headlines (market-cap crossings, index reshuffles, "biggest ever" stats) as STALE by default, requiring a company-specific forward catalyst (earnings beat, guidance, product news) to earn FRESH. Alternatively, add a post-trade audit rule: if adverse excursion exceeds favorable excursion by >2x, flag the entry category for demotion in the verdict thresholds.

S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.

S4 overnight — holds the primary ticker from today's close to the NEXT day's close.
Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 60.
