Trade Alert: Top Names

Another past winner returns to our top ten.

Taking Another Shot With Robinhood

Robinhood Markets (HOOD 2.10%↑) has been a Portfolio Armor Top Name multiple times in the past, and we’ve had success trading it before, including this exit for a >1,000% gain back in February.

Calls on Robinhood Markets (HOOD -1.91%↓). Bought for $2.30 on 10/31/2024; sold (half) for $33.50 on 2/13/2025. Profit: 1,443%

Unfortunately, this year, HOOD calls have usually been too expensive to buy by themselves, but we’ve had a few other profitable exits in the 100% to 200% range on the name this year using call spreads and other structures, e.g., this one:

Call spread on Robinhood Markets (HOOD 0.56%↑). Entered at a net debit of $3 on 6/9/2025; exited at a net credit of $9.50 on 7/28/2025. Profit: 217%.

Last night, Robinhood hit our top ten names again, so we’re drawing back the bow once more.

A Bonus Trade: A Biotech Long Shot

This one’s not even publicly traded yet, but we have a chance to invest alongside venture capitalists. This company somehow uses viruses to fight cancer.

And A Hedge

Last night, I mentioned a warning signal flashing from the bond market.

In the event that ends up clobbering stocks, I’m going to use the Portfolio Armor iPhone app to scan for some inexpensive protection.
