Our Top Source Of Trade Ideas

As regular readers know, Portfolio Armor’s top names have more than doubled the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY 0.00%↑) since we started this Substack three years ago. Over 128 rolling 6-month periods, our top names returned an average of 20.42%, versus 10.17% for SPY. So Portfolio Armor’s top names are our top source of trade ideas. Last night, the #1 name was a chip company.

Our Basic Strategy

The AI Infrastructure Catch-Up

This is a large-cap technology leader that is critical to the “Second Wave” of AI infrastructure. While the market often focuses on a single dominant player in this space, our top-ranked name has quietly confirmed accelerating demand for its own high-performance hardware. This stock was one of our top ten names back in August, and we entered a trade on it then that we exited for a >100% gain in October. We’ve got a nice structure teed up for it today, one that will give us a modest profit if the stock just goes sideways for the next two months, while financing a lotto ticket trade going out six months.

Plus Another Crack At Yesterday’s Small Cap

We are pairing this with a second shot at yesterday’s idea from our Multibaggers list (the maritime turnaround play).
