We had another spectacular week, with the Best 25 Holdings Portfolio climbing to approximately $136,516.40, up from $128,174.40 the previous week. Since its inception on June 23 with $100,000, the portfolio has delivered over 36% growth in just under a month. What's amazing is that we're still in the warm-up phase, as we had been waiting for the July Opex to clear before initiating some of our bigger trades. That time has now come, and we expect the next couple of weeks as we head into August and September to be even more exciting.
During the week, we closed one of our equity position that was bought on June 26th for profit and executed three options trades, two of which were big winners. Here’s a summary of the week’s key actions:
Buy to Open: $AMSC Jul 18 '25 $45 Call – 20 contracts @ $0.15(July 15,2025)= $300Expired (July 18, 2025) @ $0 = $0 (-100%)Buy to Open: $APLD Jul 25 '25 $11 Call – 20 contracts @ $0.25(July 15,2025)= $500Sold to close (July 18, 2025) @ $1= $2,000 (+300%)$ETHA: 300 shares @ $18.39 (June 26, 2025)Closed (July 16, 2025) @$24.05 = $7215 (+30.78%)Buy to Open: $DELL Jul 18 '25 $30 Call – 10 contracts @ $0.40(July 17,2025)= $500Sold to close (July 18, 2025) @ $3.10= $3,100 (+675%)
We also added another option position on Friday to carry it through the weekend which will become a new open position. It can be viewed further below under the paywall by members. Currently there are 7 Long equity positions, 2 Short Equity Positions and 3 Options positions open in the Best 25 Holdings Portfolio going into the new week.
The live portfolio tracking spreadsheet, which includes all open positions and a complete log of every transaction since inception, will be made available to members before next week’s update. All trades will continue to be posted in the subscriber chat immediately as they happen.
My Substack remained in the Top 20 Rising Finance Newsletters throughout last week and is on pace to surpass 1,000 subscribers this week. Despite outperforming peers, the subscription price remains much lower, as I’m still operating at the original low launch price. At some point in the near future, the price will double. However, existing members and anyone who join at the current price will be able to keep that rate for life, provided they renew their subscription before it expires.
