The Top 100 Breakouts of All Time
From the 1924 Dow to 2025 silver: the 100 greatest breakouts in market history, counted down from #100 to a #1 we keep secret until you’re inside. Every one comes with a narrated video telling the story behind the move, an annotated chart, a full lesson and a checklist to spot the next one.
Eight of the hundred stories inside
Every breakout has a back story: a product, a panic, a policy shift or a shortage. The course tells each one, then shows you exactly where the base, the breakout and the run happened on the chart.
Tencent
China’s messaging leader clears its first base after listing in Hong Kong, then compounds for 15 years.
Shopify
A 14-month post-IPO base gives way as merchant growth speeds up, starting a five-year run.
Walmart
A five-year base after the 1973-74 bear market, then a decade of small-town store rollouts.
Moderna
A young biotech clears its IPO base in the middle of the Covid crash as its vaccine program races ahead.
Solana
A new, faster blockchain breaks out of its 2020 base and rises more than 50-fold in nine months.
NVIDIA
An AI-driven sales forecast gaps NVIDIA out of a cup to new all-time highs.
Cocoa futures
Failed West African crops push cocoa out of a 12-year range and more than triple it.
Dow Jones Industrial Average
After 16 years of failing near 1,000, the Dow closes at a record and a secular bull market begins.
