Trade Alert: Top Names

Bullish options trades on four of our top ten names from Friday with the strongest catalysts.

Outperformance You Can’t Ignore

Since I began posting Portfolio Armor’s Top Ten Names cohorts in December 2022, an equally‑weighted basket of those names has delivered an average 6‑month return of 16.8 %, handily trouncing the S&P 500’s 9.6 % over the same windows. Roughly three‑quarters of those cohorts beat SPY 0.00%↑ outright.

Net‑net: A systematic edge is real—yet lumpy. Some weeks produce modest singles; others include a name (or two) that blasts off like a Falcon 9.

Case in Point: The December 5th, 2024 Cohort

As you can see above, we had four names post double-digit losses, five with double-digit gains, and one with a triple-digit gain, the modular nuclear reactor company Oklo (OKLO 0.00%↑). We entered an options trade on that stock last December, and exited it last week:

1. Call spread on Oklo (OKLO 0.00%↑ ). Entered at a net debit of $0.20 on 12/20/2024; exited at a net credit of $0.97 on 6/3/2025. Profit: 385%.

Why We’re Focusing on Four “Rocket Candidates” Today

Last Friday’s screen gave us our system’s top ten names. After drilling into catalysts, positioning, and sentiment, I zeroed in on three with the clearest asymmetric upside. All three tick the boxes that preceded past rockets:

1. Impending catalyst (regulatory decision, milestone shipment, earnings or index inclusion swing).

2. High optionality vs. float/short interest—fuel for a face‑melter if news hits.

3. Liquid options chains we can leverage for capped‑risk, convex trades.

We’ll break down each setup—ticker, thesis, and option structure—below the paywall to keep the edge for subscribers.
