yes synthetic data. I've seen people do this for pre-training RL models and use real data as a fine-tuning step.

Hi All, just wanted to share a quick summary of a few sectors and what the prime book (institutional positioning) is looking like into next week. This is not trading or financial advice, i would consider this more of a watchlist also don't forget earnings is volatile as hell and all is fair game. If you trade earnings be prepared to be kicked in the balls a few times or hit in the throat.
# Consumer
**Summary:** Staples outperformed this week on strong **PG** earnings and positive beverage data (**CELH**, **MNST**). Conversely, Discretionary/Retail faded as capital rotated back into Tech. Concerns are mounting that upcoming adverse weather will hit store traffic in the near term.
* **Crowded Longs:** RL, CELH, MNST, W, M
* **Crowded Shorts:** RCL, NKE, SBUX, CL, CLX
# Energy
**Summary:** OFS (Oilfield Services) is back in focus following **SLB** and **HAL** results, driven by international growth. Sentiment remains bullish across the complex despite recent equity runs.
* **Crowded Longs:** SU, SLB, FCX, B, VLO, XOM
* **Crowded Shorts:** CNQ, MPC, OKE, VG, PTEN
# Industrials
**Summary:** The sector paused after its strongest start in 20 years, with exposures hitting decade highs. Earnings have been tepid; wins from **DAN** and **FTAI** were offset by downside moves in **GE**, **TEL**, and **DHI**. Fertilizer names (**CF**, **MOS**, **NTR**) caught a bid on Iran tensions.
* **Crowded Longs:** GE, GEV, APH, CMI, PH
* **Crowded Shorts:** ODFL, UPS, DE, OSK, IR
# Healthcare
**Summary:** Biopharma remains the favorite due to M&A activity and positive clinical updates. In contrast, Medtech is struggling with uncertainty surrounding reimbursement updates and upcoming earnings.
* **Crowded Longs:** INSM, BBIO, LLY, MCK, COR
* **Crowded Shorts:** MRNA, AVTR, TNDM, OSCR, MOH
# Technology
**Summary:** A volatile, "unexplained" week for Tech amid Davos headlines and mixed micro updates (**NFLX/INTC** weakness). Momentum cracked mid-week, though Software saw a technical bounce from oversold levels.
* **Crowded Longs:** GOOGL, TSM, WDC, ASML, LRCX
* **Crowded Shorts:** ADBE, OMC, DELL, TTD, HPQ
# Financials
**Summary:** High volatility as the mid-week rally in cyclicals/value (Regionals, Consumer Finance) was wiped out by Friday’s fade. Large caps significantly outperformed small caps, marking the widest gap since July 2024. Davos sentiment was generally constructive on policy risk, though **V** and **MA** remain heavy.
* **Crowded Longs:** IVZ, MS, CFG, COF, SCHW
* **Crowded Shorts:** BRO, AJG, TROW, CME
