Trade Alert: More AI & Energy

Bullish options trades on two of our top ten names from last night, another energy company, and a secondary hyperscaler.

Going Back To Our Main Source Of Alpha

After the recent rotation in our Top Names, we’re taking advantage of the ongoing alpha these names have been generating. Since we started this Substack three years ago, our weekly Top Ten names have nearly doubled the average return of the S&P 500 over comparable six-month periods.

When we see new opportunities emerging in that list—especially in names we don’t already hold—we’re going to keep pulling the lever.

Last night, two new Top Names lined up with our core themes: one fits squarely in the energy space, which continues to benefit from the AI-driven demand story, and the other is a large-cap software name that remains at the center of the embodied-AI build-out.

In both cases, we’re structuring defined-risk, IV-harvesting combos with expirations on the bullish legs roughly six months or more out. That longer tenor gives us time for our theses to play out even if we get a near-term pullback or correction.

Details on the trades—and my exit plan for each—are below for subscribers.
