The Market The next four weeks is a make or break window for both stocks and precious metals and I will do my best to guide the trading service through what could be an exhilarating trading environment. Friday does not a cycle low make, so hang on for what could be a wild ride in the weeks ahead. Worst case, new highs across the board in stock indices while give-backs continue in precious metals. Best case, volatility (VIX, UVXY, VXX) spikes, along with said Gold (GLD), Silver (SLV) and the Miners (NEM, HL) as the markets put in, into what could be looking back from early 2026, a 4th quarter turning point for the ages. As I type this on Saturday morning, I do not know what end game nor exact timing to expect, only that we will get a very big hint which way it all is going next week. Be ready to trade, it could be the opportunity of the year. Focus On Options The focus of this service has always been on trading options, although I am very proud to point out numerous testimonials from 2021 of subscribers that literally became millionaires acting on our pound-the-table endorsement of TSLA in December, 2019, and in particular, the Jan 2021 TSLA LEAP Call, from where I merely copied the biggest position of Cathie Wood in her then fledgling ARK empire. TSLA went on to run from it's Dec, 2019 price of $22 (split adjusted) to a high of $300 (split adjusted) at the expiration of those Jan 2021 calls, which in turn generated our greatest option win (so far) of over 10,000%. Note to Self: Enough chest beating, Allan, what have you done for your subscribers lately? Ergo this weekend's update, Focus on Options. First a look at the Oct 17th top performing positions from each service, which should come as no surprise as we have been on SLV & GLD most of the year and aggressively so over the past few expirations: Top October 17th Option Performers PRO Service: SLV Calls +800% Premium Service: GLD Calls +1,247% Next, a look at what we are holding going into the last 10 weeks of 2025: Blue Line Option Portfolios - Open Positions PRO Service Premium Service Looking at the two big winners from October, SLV and GLD, they remain core positions going into Nov expiration, as is NEM which has been a solid performer since I posted this trading methodology particular to NEM in a special PRO update in August. "Welcome to the NEM Breakout-of-the-Month Club. The rule is to buy the "next month" at-the-money call option upon any short-term breakout in Newmont Mining. Year-to-date these signals have come about monthly and have been good for between 10% to 15% share price appreciation into next month option's expiration. That equates to at least a 100% gain in the underlying calls and occasionally a spectacular 3X to 5X return. Wash, rinse, repeat. You're only job: EXECUTE." NEM NEM has turned down, likely putting in a short-term top. It is just one trading session off of its all time highs and will likely be setting up a fresh breakout-entry for continuing its run to triple digits. Note: Fib Extensions & EW are projecting a rise to $110-135 in the months ahead. Even if current calls are subject to being stopped via 50% trailing stops, WE WILL BE TRADING THE NEXT BREAKOUT, from whatever level it occurs. Wash, rinse, repeat. The next TSLA Jan 2021 10,000% winner may already be in one of those two open option portfolios, but its also possible that it will come from one of our next few trades, whether they be Bullish, Bearish, or even Bitcoin, up or down. Consider that five digit percentage winner as in the wings, just waiting for the right set up. Ideally, it happens before I retire, a fitting "adios" to all my loyal subscribers, many of you are still hanging around from January, 2010 opening of this service. Wow, that's over 15 years ago. However, nothing is imminent, but if and when you see the next 10,000% winner in one or both of our trading services, don't be surprised if my countdown to retirement begins. First, a 10,000% winner, then we can order a cake.
