I have been trading options since the summer of 1978, 10 calls on OXY that tripled in price while I was on vacation on Martha's Vineyard. That was the hook that some 47 years later has me publishing Blue Line Trading System a/k/a AllanTrends. Through it all I've seen every kind of stock market, good and bad, as the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9 The market this last weekend of June, 2025, is not new. It is most reminiscent of the market from 1995-2000, where investing in any company ending their name in ".com" was an immediate millionaire maker...including me. I hung up my "attorney at law" moniker and began trading full time. By mid 2001, I had lost most of it as Nasdaq suffered an 80% drawdown, not to recover for 14 years. No doubt, that too is coming. As was the fate of the dot.com boom, the current AI mania will ebb and then crash, taking the market indices down with it. If it happens anytime soon, i.e., in the next year or two, we will catch most of it, but for now, there is no use trying to swim upstream. The way my methodology works, the market will be down 5-10% before a tradable downtrend emerges. Tradable means breakdowns to the downside of an existing downtrend. Unless and until that downtrend is in place, we will continue to go with the flow, individual stocks that are breaking out to the upside. Once again, I point to the Volatility Breakout Online Tutorial which goes into detail for the do-it-yourselfers among my subscribers who want to be self sufficient. I'm charging $495 for the tutorial, Grok says its worth $4,000 compared to similar trading tutorials available on the Internet. Go figure. For everyone else, I do the heavy lifting for you through the Blue Line Trading Services, Premium and PRO. When you see the subject, "New Pick" in any Alert pay attention, as all you need to know is in that Alert. This past week I highlighted two in particular, RKLB and META and added a speculative GRRR on Friday. Here is how all three of these new stock picks have fared, so far, in the Premium Service Options Performance Table: Note that these three stock bets are spread out in expirations spanning July-August-September. If this bull market, and yes, making a new all time high in the S&P 500 does qualify as a bull market, continues throughout the summer, expect at least two of these three to generate substantial returns and more likely, all three. Meanwhile, let the 50% trailing stop work its magic in RKLB and META, while GRRR is freshly selected, so its subject to a hard 50% stop until it rises from current levels. At +50% we will move the stop to break-even and at +100% (or close to it) the 50% trailing stop will kick-in. RKLB 240 Minute (4 Hour) Over the past 9 months there were eight separate breakout buy signals on this 240 minute chart, all based on our volatility breakout patterns, i.e., price breaking out above a parallel trend channel. META 240 Minute (4 Hour) From this chart: If $740, then $785-$900 GRRR 240 Minute (4 Hour) Observation: Tendency for Buy Signals to be generated soon after an even numbered retracement wave, after a Wave 2 and/or a Wave 4, the latter of which can lead to an especially dynamic run, being a "Wave 5 Buy Signal." Another reason to take the Online Tutorial: There will be at least one more Wave 5 Buy Signal in the run higher. Still Active (Not Exited per 50% Hard Stop) Option Trades PRO Service Premium Service
