Next week is July expiration and there is only one July expiration in the Premium options portfolio that merits continued exposure: META. First, a review of performance since June 4, 2025 entry: Next: META on the verge of a fresh breakout pattern, above $740.00: META Trade Management META had a good June, rising from our June 4th entry @ $678 to a high on June 30th of $748, a gain of $70, or +10%. The recommended calls, Jul 18th $750C were up as much as 236% on that run, triggering an automatic 50% trailing stop. That stop was hit on the very next trading day, July 1st, as META fell about 2% on the shares, while the calls fell from $18 to under $9, triggering the stop. If still holding, the calls is showing a respectable +32% today, but being that next week is expiration week for the Jul monthly series, we need to address rollover to August, or if out pursuant to the trailing stop, whether to initiate a new call position. Everything we need to make that decision is contained in the chart above. Essentially, if META can close above $740 (currently $737) it will target $830-$1,165, or approximately another 10%, minimum. That means the $800C will be worth $30, minimum, trading today at about $1,100, for a 3X return, with the possibility of 5X to 10X depending on market conditions into mid-August. That's a bet worth taking, risk 50% (hard stop) to make 200% or more. Therefore, if META closes above $740, we want to be long calls into August. If already long July, hold and rollover next week. If out, initiate a new position anytime META closes above $740. New Capital or July 18th Roll-over if META closes above $740 If META runs, its OK to buy higher strikes than $800, we are not the only eyes on that $740 price level. Try to keep the premium under $1,500 per contract no matter how high the strike. Best Bets (beyond META) for A Summer Rally RKLB HOOD BTC This could be the biggest blockbuster breakout of the summer, or fall, or 2026, we don't know when we just see potential. First break above $110K that holds, or any breakout above $112K will be trigger to buy BITX or IBIT calls, going out about 60-90 days and holding for BTC $150K, post haste. IBIT Sep Calls First tranche bought on June 9th, but unless BTC breaks out soon, these are destined to suffer the fate of a 50% hard stop...not there yet, but time is slipping away. BITX Sep BTC $150K = BITX $110 IBIT Sep BTC $150K = IBIT $90
