Being a Home Run Hitter

November 14, 2024

This morning, we had the legendary turtle trader, Jerry Parker on the Morning Show. Watch the replay here.

He emphasized the importance of outliers in a system. The core idea is simple: let winners run and keep losers tight.

Outliers are the difference-maker in any sound trend following strategy.

At one point, Jerry likened his trading approach to “being a home run hitter.”

It’s the same thing we’re doing here with Breakout Multiplier. We’re shooting for outsized gains. When managed correctly, they take care of all the losers.

We really nailed a perfect entry last week with Square, and I think it’s setting up to be our next big hit.

Multibaggers Everywhere

November 11, 2024

We're in the midst of a fierce leg higher for risk assets.

The S&P 500 is making new all-time highs, speculative stocks are on fire, small caps are ripping, and Bitcoin is well on its way to $100k.

As a result, many of our recent positions are multi-baggers.

Let’s review a few of them.

Last week, we put on some trades in Bitcoin miners as we believed they were ideal vehicles to ride the post-election rally in crypto.

As part of this strategy, we picked up $MARA 12/20 $25 calls and $CLSK 11/29 $15 calls. We paid about $1.15 for each.

We were already long MARA and RIOT calls with an 11/22 expiration. There is a juicy short interest in all of these names.

Sell the Double, Buy the Block

November 8, 2024

The stock market is embarking on a fresh leg higher, supported by the broadest participation we've seen this cycle.

With speculative growth stocks on fire, our $ARKK 11/15 $52 calls are doubling today. 

We want to take half off the table here and redeploy that capital into a new position. I’m selling them for $1.80.

The initial earnings reaction for $SQ is catching our attention today. The stock plunged lower but has been clawing back losses all morning.

Just look at the wick forming on todays daily candle:

Peloton is a 12-Bagger

October 31, 2024

Here at Breakout Multiplier, we're all about booking big gains—and our Peloton $PTON play just hit it out of the park.

A month ago, we scooped up the 11/15 $7 calls for a cool $0.16.

By October 18th, we'd already sold half for a triple. This set us up to let the rest ride into earnings, while already securing a profit on the full position.

In other words, if the remaining calls went to zero (which they did not), we still made money on this trade.

Today, Peloton's ripping, up over 30% on the heels of earnings, and our calls are going through the roof, trading as high as $2.00 in today’s session.

That’s right—a 12-bagger, a whopping 1,000%+ return!
