Open The Markets!

Feeling an abundance mindset.

Market Appreciation On Memorial Day

The U.S. stock markets were closed today for Memorial Day, but the Swedish stock market—Nasdaq Stockholm—was open today. Shares of Sivers Semiconductor closed up 17.35%, to 85.55 Swedish kronor. That’s about $9.21 in U.S. currency.

We bought shares of it OTC at $2.24 last month, and sold half for $6.75 this month.

The other half is still running.

At today’s Stockholm close, the remaining shares are up about 311% from our entry price.

That’s not an options trade. Sivers doesn’t have U.S.-listed options yet. It’s a common-stock trade in a small Swedish semiconductor company we found through our broader Market Watchers process, with a theme tied to photonics, satellite communications, and the physical AI buildout.

But it captures how I feel about the market right now.

Feeling An Abundance Mindset

I’ve heard people talk about having an “abundance mindset” before, and it usually sounded like self-help b.s. to me.

I get it now.

Not in some vague motivational sense. I mean it specifically with respect to markets.

It’s Memorial Day, the U.S. market is closed, and I can’t wait for it to reopen tomorrow.

Not because I’m desperate to trade. Not because I’m trying to force something. The opposite, really.

I feel like we have an abundance of promising ideas in front of us.

Portfolio Armor’s Top Names give us one list of candidates every trading day. To give you a sense of why we start there, here’s how those Top Names from late November did over the next six months:

Then we have our Market Watchers X list, our Multibaggers subset, Chartmill screens, technical filters, earnings/catalyst checks, and the themes we’ve been tracking across AI infrastructure, power, photonics, space, defense, memory, and other corners of the physical economy.

That gives us a lot of swings.

The point is to keep taking repeatable, high-quality swings where the setup, theme, structure, and pricing line up.

That’s what feels different now.

We’re not just finding names. We’re finding names and fitting them into options structures that make sense. When only shares are available, we buy those, as in the case of Sivers. Where options are available, we can usually get more torque—more upside exposure per dollar at risk—while still defining our downside in advance.

Open The Markets

In the past, a closed market day might have felt like a pause from uncertainty.

Today, it feels like waiting at the gate with a full playbook. We’ve got three trades teed up for tomorrow, after researching dozens of potential trade ideas over the weekend.

And we have enough current winners on the board to remind us that the process is working.

The opportunity set feels rich, and it feels like we’re closer to the beginning of this boom than to the end.

Looking forward to the opening bell.
