Closelook Records · Analyst / strategist
Dan Ives — Wedbush Securities
Sell-side price targets are public, dated and archived by aggregators — but there is no composite return series, targets are revised freely, and no platform computes an outcome record. The IVES ETF (since mid-2025) adds a first NAV-verifiable slice.

The Closelook read
The loudest tech bull on the sell side. Every target is public and datable — and like all analyst records, the sum of them is unscored. The Famous Calls Record takes them one at a time.
Aggregators archive sell-side targets, so individual Ives calls are easy to date and check — TipRanks-style hit rates exist but depend heavily on methodology (horizon, revision handling, universe). That is why the catalogue grades the format C on verifiability and tracks the headline calls individually instead of quoting a blended accuracy number nobody computes the same way. His $600 Tesla target is the live test case in our Famous Calls Record.
