An anthropomorphic bull and bear celebrating the 4th of July. The bull is wearing a patriotic hat and holding an American flag, while the bear is dressed in a similar festive outfit, holding sparklers. They are standing in front of a backdrop of fireworks lighting up the night sky, with a banner that says 'Happy 4th of July'. The scene is cheerful and lively, with red, white, and blue decorations all around.

Our Core Strategy

Our core strategy is to buy equal dollar amounts of the Portfolio Armor web app’s top ten names, put trailing stops of 15%-20% on them, and replace them with names from the current week’s top ten when we get stopped out of a position.

Another Use For Our Top Names

We also use our top ten names as a source of ideas for options trades, such as this one we entered today.

A Top Names Performance Update

Before we get to this week’s top ten names, let’s look at the final, 6-month performance of our top ten names from January 2nd, 2025.

Our top names from January 2nd returned +33.47%, on average, over the next six months, versus +6.13% for the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY 0.00%↑).

So far, we have 6-month returns for 106 weekly top names cohorts since we started this Substack at the end of December, 2022.

And as you can see above, our top names have averaged returns of 16.61% over the next six months, versus SPY’s average of 9.37%. You can see an interactive version of the table above here, where you can click on each date and see a chart showing each of the holdings that week.
