We’re Not Just Entering Trades Here

On Monday, we also exited three trades:

Options

  1. Call spread on Oklo (OKLO 9.20%↑). Entered at a net debit of $5 on 7/22/2025; exited at a net credit of $20 on 10/13/2025. Profit: 300%.

  2. 4-leg combo on AST SpaceMobile (ASTS 5.04%↑). Entered at a net debit of $2.70 on 8/27/2025; exited the call spread at a net credit of $12 on 10/8/2025; exited the put spread at a net debit of $0.20 on 10/13/2025. Profit: 337%.*

  3. Call on Energy Fuels, Inc. (UUUU 0.66%↑). Bought for $1.85 as part of a risk-reversal with a floor on 8/12/2025; sold (second half) for $14.30 on 10/13/2025. Profit: 673%.

*On premium outlay; return on max risk = 160%.

We document all of our exits in an “Exits” post at the end of the week, and in this spreadsheet.

Just a reminder, before we move on to today’s trade entries.

Financed Upside On Two Greater China Names

We’re putting on two options structures today drawn from Portfolio Armor’s Top Names (both appeared in last night’s top ten). If you’re new here, our Top Names track record has been strong over time—see the rolling results here: https://portfolioarmor.com/performance-top-names), and see the 6-month performance of our top ten names from April 11th below.

Why Now

  • Theme fit: Both companies are tied to Greater China growth levers (infrastructure, digital services), where policy headlines can swing sentiment—and implied volatility tends to stay rich.

  • Setups we like in this tape: When options are expensive, we harvest IV with a financed approach to lower break-evens and net outlay while keeping upside exposure.

Plus, A Bonus Multibaggers Trade

Today’s third trade comes from our Multibaggers X List. This is a subset of our Market Watchers X list, comprised of accounts that have had at least one >100% gainer this year (in some cases, they’ve had multiple multibaggers). This one is in the rare earths space.
