July 5, 2025 Saturday Report

July 5, 2025 Saturday Report

Dear Member,

I hope everyone is having or had a great Fourth weekend.

The Composite eked out another small gain for its fourth straight winning week. Boomer’s Revenge continued its hot hand as it closes in on the +30% level for the year. Wiley Wolf gained without making a trade (I like when that happens).

This week, I drill down on IV to expose some inconsistencies in the data. Plus, I discuss how I will treat IV moving forward. Be sure to check it out.

Enjoy the report and have (or continue to have) a great holiday weekend.

Happy Trading.

Jon L.

Success Stories

I have been trading the equity markets with many different strategies for over 40 years. Terry Allen's strategies have been the most consistent money makers for me. I used them during the 2008 melt-down, to earn over 50% annualized return, while all my neighbors were crying about their losses.
