Looking For Another Rocket Top Name
Over the last 30 months, our equal-weighted basket of Portfolio Armor’s weekly Top Ten Names has beaten the S&P 500 in three out of four six-month cohorts. The edge is simple but powerful: the list tilts toward stocks with unusual combinations of high upside-volatility and strong fundamental or technical momentum—fertile ground for inexpensive, convex option bets.
Because returns are lumpy (think one or two rockets carrying the basket), we layer on targeted call positions to magnify the payoff when a prospective rocket takes off. Limited risk, unlimited upside.
Today’s Rocket Candidate
One of Monday night’s Top 10 newcomers checks every “rocket” box:
Niche leadership in a hot vertical. A sub-$1 B AI hardware-plus-software security play.
Fundamentals turning the corner. Revenue growing 40 %+ year-on-year with management guiding to positive free cash flow by Q4.
Fresh catalyst runway. Summer bid season for K-12 security grants and a Department of Homeland Security funding decision in September.
Options still cheap. The ones we’re looking at are trading slightly below their fair value right now. .
Below the paywall, we’ll detail the exact strike, expiry, and exit rules—but for now know this:
We’re targeting an out-of-the-money call priced at roughly 40 % of the at-the-money straddle, giving us a break-even only ~20 % above spot along with uncapped upside.
Details below.
