Been there too many times. Right now I’m sort of miffed I just piled into SLV this AM instead of AGQ, but gains are gains and lower risk than a leveraged ETF. Be glad for the money, put regret into the rear view, and find your next play.
AGQ calls have market inefficiencies in my favor. if the stock drops it take a full minute for the call price to catch up to the current price.
Shoulda got AGQ instead of SLV
Holy cow, Silver, AGQ .
If one had put $50k into AGQ on 7/31/2025 and just held it until now, one would have $230k today (1/21/2026). Why didn't I come across this sage advice back in July 25?
I like AGQ (2x spot silver gain or loss) and SHNY (3x spot gold gain or loss)
Sold my whole AGQ position at $227, topped at $228.43
Closed out my GLD options and 95% of my AGQ position. Threw some of that cash into miners, leveraged Biotech, Target, MORT, XLP, RKT, UPS, Still waiting on some other plays to cash out within the next quarter or two. Thinking of closing out SPY/QQQ when SPY gets to $700-$710 and then just buying back on a fat dip
Looks like a day of inverse ETFs, load up on AGQ, and watch anything being held over the weekend turn into a value investment.
For everyone who prefers not to bleed from eyes, topping chart in 1980. (no candles data, daily close only) Before using that as a template, one has to remember: \- no ETFs back then \- no army of phones with "calls yolo" button \- no real time price broadcast to every toothbrush with internet connection \- no youtube with "it will go to 500, TRUST MEEE!!" echo chamber \- negligible public participation in markets compared to today So a better technical model is 2011 - verticall up, vertical down, AGQ at 3x, and so on. But the move now is bigger than 2011, so a 1980-like double top with blowout second top (at 89\~90) is technically likely (lots of technicals point at that level), followed by a 2011-like deep selloff for about a week to about the base of the vertical spike (\~50). https://preview.redd.it/0cnrwlbc7scg1.png?width=3232&format=png&auto=webp&s=6af84fc9f469d2d103d08ee587df436982b29675
My question is, at what point does paper silver become worthless? So on top of the miners I have a few other plays such as PSLV and SLVU (Canadian equivalent of AGQ). I have faith in the PSLV fund because I do think they are 100% allocated and not playing games. The idea is; if/when the traditional paths to market fail to source silver, the big industrial players will use the redemption mechanism of PSLV to get the silver and in such a case you can expect they will pay a premium when hunting for enough sellers. Meanwhile SLVU is basically an ETF holding at this point 100% March COMEX contracts. If the COMEX calls Force Majeure unable to deliver in February does this mean the ETF plummets as the value of March contracts comes into question. I'm a little more cavalier than most but I'm no WSB regard either
Actually didn't know they had that. Jesus does every shit stock get its own bull and bear ETFs now? But I may actually be down to buy a few $k of that in my 401k if I can. I can buy most ETFs in it but not all. e.g. for some reason I can buy JNUG and GDXU but not AGQ.
Fake news AGQ to $200 tmrw
I forgot to sell my AGQ before 8pm I’m an idiot.
Yeah, buying AGQ last Wednesday 12/31 was so scary at the time but absolutely the correct move with the super-bullish triple bottom. My position is now $800K+ so I'm going to be quick to take profit these next few days with the CME rebalance selling but buy back those shares by Friday close to enjoy the weekend Shanghai gap up.
trading GLD and SLV is poosay. commit to AGQ or UGL. or be a real bad bitch and step up to SHNY
Didn't follow play to buy AGQ at open. Regret.
> All these "would have"s are just your imagination. They didn't happen. All those would haves are reality. Since people did hop out of AGQ at it's peak. You realize that for every share sold, someone had to have sold that share right? The same for Nvidia. It all happened. You just can't seem to grasp reality. > Could easily become the next 90's-era INTC. As can anything. As can the entire market for that matter. So what do you suggest? A mattress?
Wow, 15 years? I've had AGQ for 4 months & I thought I was a long-term holder! Careful, short-term technical picture now is dreadful but long-term fundamentals remain strong, so I took profit on half of it & sold into strength yesterday at $183, keeping the other half to see the new year. Good luck!
Sold my AGQ yesterday. Your welcome.
> If you bought VOO for eight years and **then got back into AGQ when the market started to recover** LOL. So I should have busted out my crystal ball and timed the market. Yeah, timing the market always works out so well. That's not gambling at all.
And obviously you should have done something like that. What you did was financial suicide. How can you not see the math? If you bought VOO for eight years and then got back into AGQ when the market started to recover, you would have about $150,000 for each $10,000 that you have now. If you bought other things like SMH it would be even better. Learn from your mistakes. Don't defeat yourself.
LOL. So if I had hired a "pro" I would have "panic sold". I guess a "pro" like you would have had me panic sell Nvidia during it's long flat years. You know, long and flat like AGQ has been. A "pro" like you would have made sure I "wouldn’t have held that pimpin" NVDA through all those dark years. But silly me just kept holding it from 2008 until I "panic sold" it these last few months. I'll just have to live with all those profits that a "pro" like you could have saved me from.
Seriously? 12.5 of the past 14 years were booming for the market... and you lost money year after year after year for zero logical reason. Again, if you wanted AGQ the past few months, then buy it then! You also said 15 years ago, not 2016, but at the beginning of January 2016, you let $10,000 or whatever uselessly sit for 8 years, breaking even. In that time, if you would have put the money in VOO you would have had $27,450 at the stat of 2024. Or, if you had put it in SMH, you would have had $63,800. If you then put that $63,800 in AGQ at the start of 2024, you would now have about $400,000. Instead you have something less than the original $10,000...
In 2016 SP500 was 1940. Now it's 6904. That's 6904/1940 = 3.5. AGQ was 28. Now it's 185. 185/28 = 6.6. 6.6 > 3.5.
I have? In 2016 SP500 was 1940. Now it's 6904. That's 6904/1940 = 3.5. AGQ was 28. Now it's 185. 185/28 = 6.6. 6.6 > 3.5.
That is completely delusional. How about putting it in the S&P500 and then putting it back in AGQ three months ago? You did something financially suicidal. You turned down a tax loss; you held a dead turd for 14 years instead of investing it wisely; then when silver again took off, you had about 1/10th of the assets you could have had to invest in AGQ again when the market got hot. This is exactly how you do \_not\_ use leveraged products.
And have less money? My portfolio is not 100% AGQ. I've outperformed the "pros" overall.
If I had invested that into the S&P500 I'd be worst off. Look at the chart. By the time it was clear it was down for the count, if I had sold it and use the funds to buy S&P instead. It would have grown less than it has leaving it in AGQ all this time. Sure, S&P has had a steadily growth and AGQ has been a flat line until these last few months. But AGQ has made up for it.
So what are your guys' thoughts on AGQ vs. SLV? The former is a 2X take on Silver through creative financial paper. I'm starting to get the creeps about SLV's legitimacy and like the idea of 'doubling my money. And losses. I got jumped overnight Sunday, but put the remains of the portfolio, which was mostly SLV, into AGQ--figuring that the high had been reached and would inevitably get hit again. Its looking pretty good around midnite Monday, I gotta say...
Hahaha Silver here. Got a stop sell for a third of my AGQ at 160. Bought 80 shares of the inverse haha. Just drinking coffee and watching
been holding silver (AGQ 2x leveraged) since it was 79.43, just sold today at 176.30
Even JNUG gang must bow their heads in respect to AGQ gang at the moment Phenomenal. Tip of the spear of the precious metals new paradigm
I would buy June or September Calls. There's likely going to be a huge pullback in the next couple months that will be hard to time. Will it be from $100 back to $75, or $150 back to $100?? Who knows. Only buy the Calls if you won't panic sell with a 50-80 percent drop in value during a correction. Or just buy PSLV, AGQ, or SIL Or buy GLD Calls. Gold has barely moved and the IV is way lower on the Calls
It's NUGT. My silver is AGQ.
So tomorrow: AGQ or ZSL
I've been very bad with options so I stay away from them. I've been buying AGQ since October when it was around 81, so it's not an overnight return of 70-80%. I sell 30-40% of my position after a big run to book profits. I am expecting a pullback in silver soon to 185 in a week or two. I might go long again once it holds up to that level for few days. Do your own research and don't copy trades. Build your intuitions about market moves ahead of time from your findings. Play small and track your progress. Step 1 - Predict if market is going up or down in upcoming days/weeks backed by your analysis. Track and see if you are 70-80% times right. Step 2 - start with 1 share just to have skin in the game. Returns are not linear. Most people lose money like me for initial years (6-7 years ib my case) and then slowly build their skillset. Big returns come afterwards.
Thank you sir. I'm 69. I almost went bankrupt during the crash of 2008, so I'm cautious. I was going to retire at 60, but got greedy and invested completely in CMGI. My retirement plan turned into a repayment plan.... But I read quite a bit about the reasons metals were going up, so I pushed in all my chips and won this time. I kept the gld and pplt. PPLT has been up 8%/day too! I think their run isn't over, but it seems to me that someone could pull the SLV rug any time. Thinking of daytrading silver with AGQ though. But not too much.
I'm not gonna lie, buying leaps on AGQ seems kinda tempting with how hot silver is right now if I wasn't already balls deep in MU Imagine how degen it would be to buy calls on a leveraged silver etf while the commodity is at its peak like this
AGQ gang rise up 🚀 Been loading up on calls since November, silver's been absolutely printing lately
AGQ is my main investment through options. I knew we would not see any big draw backs until more speculators come in that have weaker hands.
I did 12K with AGQ today haha.
I dunno man...AGQ is a 2x leveraged Silver ETF and silver is running like crazy right now. I don't know when the run will end but I'm putting it all on Black and letting it ride.
Bought AGQ OTM calls today, closed 4 hours later at 100% gain.
I threw the last of my account at AGQ the day before Christmas eve and this morning I woke up to AGQ gainz.
I'm heavy into GDXU & AGQ right now, probably delever into GDX, SIL & SPPP by early April.
I started buying AGQ in early September at 60, the high that day. Despite the October correction, it ground its way up to 102 by end November. AGQ reached 204 today.
anyone have AGQ calls? congrats
$AGQ paid me 2x silver gain. That’s a sweet 19% today and up over 100% this month
Hey brother, I'm not even breaking even here. Couple months ago I went from 10k which was all I had to 1800. I threw the last of what I had on AGQ. I'm not even up half my original investment. Happens to all of us especially the best of us. Just gotta keep on truckin. Keep your head up my friend.
My decision to buy AGQ was a good one
I believe AGQ is what youre looking for. 2x SLV ETF
AGQ +400% 1Y but equity bulls touch themselves for +27% on TQQQ lmfao
At what price is it safe to short AGQ
These will print. There is a lot of precious metal positive things happening in the world right now. Ive got AGQ, SILJ, and SLV calls atm. When you get the opportunity, I recommend taking some profits and turning that into physical silver. Something tangible you can hold in your hand! Best of luck to you fellow degen
I only invested very little in AGQ, just to test. I have almost all my stock on other things 👍
Good you're thinking ahead, just be cautious with leveraged ETFs like AGQ since they're better for short term trades. Diversifying beyond metals can help reduce risk.
I think AGQ is up like 300% this year. You are asking folks who makes 10-20% return a year for suggestion.
Should just fill port into AGQ and chill.
Damn, up almost 10% on my AGQ in my roth. Silver, fuck yeah.
Gold & silver continue to outperform the rest of the stock market. Buy low risk, less volatile ETFs like GDX, UGL or AGQ if you want to double your money. Buy high risk, more volatile ETFs like NUGT, JNUG or GDXU if you want to triple your money or more.
I’m like Yukon Cornelius over here with AGQ
I already exited. Bought AGQ and up 15k. They are manipulate the market. I take my profit and leave. Haha
Just to save everyone a Duck Duck Go search, AGQ is the leveraged ticker symbol you're looking for.
Not OP, but Honestly i’m not sure. I got most of my gold/silver prior to recent highs. The biggest problem with this trade is i don’t know where exactly to get off the ride. I predicted $5k gold elsewhere back in early 2024, still didn’t probably buy enough for how early i was. I got physical silver, but I see that more as a SHTF fund if the dollar shits out or the investment thesis runs out of legitimacy, and if we’re printing money going forward then I see no point in selling it until it stops or breaks. For now i’ll just keep DCA’ing daily into $GLD and $SLV, then just sell $AGQ once i feel the squeeze is ending.
This is a leveraged ETF and seems to have a very good risk/return ratio for an EFT. I am considering buying some call options on AGQ, but the spread is too wide for me.
Is it time to buy puts? [AGQ](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/AGQ)?
Physical silver, SLV, PSLV, AGQ, HL, CDE.
I'm pretty happy with silver. AGQ from 60.58 to 87.92 (spot silver from around $40.50 to 52) was one of my least anxiety prone trades this year. Now's a very good time to eliminate leverage and build cash equivalents. Lots of people who thought they could become wealthy quickly with leverage on 0DTE calls are going to see all of their capital dissipate, as they don't change their strategy in the coming bear. This shouldn't come as a surprise, there are no billionaire investors who always made winning calls. Stop looking to become rich tomorrow. Your #1 priority, always, should be preservation of capital. Most of the time, options are a lottery with lottery like expected returns. If you can have CAGR of 20% or even 15%, you are a winner over the next, awful decade.
I’m hard into Silver right now. Both physical and AGQ calls. Agree that hard assets are going shine..no pun intended
There is also AGQ a 2x ultra long. Has doubled in the last 2 months. currently around $80. Peaked at over $500 in the last cycle.
You fellers buy any silver this week? I picked up some AGQ.
Gold rises when speculators are putting preservation of spending power ahead of greed, so the rise signals that some market participants have low expectations for the equity markets and high US inflation expectations. The fundamental basis for gold's rise vs. the dollar also involves international trade. China and the other BRICS+ nations have been assembling an alternative to international trade settlement in the dollar, which involves direct trade in national currencies. Some market observers expect adjustments for trade imbalances taking place on the Shanghai gold exchange, as well as its satellite gold vaults in Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong. And the net flows of gold for years have been from the US and Europe towards China. The dollar's value has been historically propped up by its use in international trade settlement, requiring other nations to maintain substantial reserves even if little of their trade involved the US. Should international trade bypass the dollar, it could result in substantial declines of the the dollar's purchasing power. One consequence of 47's 'reciprocal' tariffs has been many nations seeking to reduce dollar exposure. Foreign central banks have been net sellers of US Treasuries and buyers of gold, to the extent that the aggregate value of gold held by central banks now exceeds that of their holdings of US government debt. As for myself, I already bought physical gold in 2001 at $285 / ozt, principally as calamity insurance. It's kept up with my other investments but I've no intent of buying more. After the November election, I entered a few gold miners that are up 150 - 270% to date, and still have room to run. There's tremendous leverage in companies with all in costs of \~$1800, when their profit margin rises from 50% to 125%. While a gold price spike to $5000 / oz in the near term is possible, its would be healthier for long term returns if it developed price support around here. My monetary metals focus since 1 Sep has been silver, up 22% in 6 weeks. The 2x leveraged ETF (AGQ) is up 36% in that time.
Yeah, a small pullback is normal even in strong rallies, so waiting for a dip to add exposure makes sense. For my long-term view, I’m looking at gold reaching around $7,000 within the next 1.5 years and silver hitting about $55-$60. This is based on current momentum, industrial demand for silver, tight mine supply, and broader macro trends. Your diversified positions across GDX, GDXU, UGL, AGQ, GDE, REMX, and URA are solid,scaling in carefully during pullbacks could capture a lot of upside before those levels.
Good morning JNUG gang 🌄 Do we have any exciting plans for gold $4k day? Personally I think I'll have a quiet one. I'll hire in a three-starred Michelin chef for a light lunch, then drive down to the stables in my Rolls-Royce Phantom (it's my everyday car, I save the real cars for weekend) for a few games of Polo with the gentlemen from AGQ and LPLA gangs. I might do something a little less mundane for gold $5k day.
I'm not long on silver, but it follows gold - AGQ
Silver AGQ is pumping. Assuming gold follows and breaks ATH sometime tonight
I'm sitting next to you at the AGQ table. I'll be enjoying a broiled sea bass with truffle mushrooms and a salmon croquet. A glass of Croatian white to pair. Enjoy the green fellow regard. Ill see you back at the Ritz Carleton tonight.
I sold URAA at 31.90 earlier this month, thinking I could take some profits and it was just going to keep bouncing around in a range anyway, oops. 🤣 I did start investing in Anfield earlier this year when it was literally a penny stock and now it's on the Nasdaq (AEC) and I'm up 25%. Glowy rocks and shiny rocks is my investing theme for 2025. GDXU and AGQ are doing the heavy lifting in my accounts right now with PALL and PLTM on deck.
Well done, I've have been having a great year selling covered calls on AGQ. Love the commodities.
GDXU NUGT AGQ, which are conveniently going up in concert with tech stocks...
Silver just broke a 13 year ceiling [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xO\_loY3PFC8](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xO_loY3PFC8) Start at 15m 23s Especially at 18:20. Silver can surge past $50 in 5 or so months. That would put AGQ somewhere in the $80 to 85 range.
