I am a huuuge fan of $GDE. 60% of my portfolio. Buy and hold. Put 15% of every paycheck into it. Higher CAGR and Sortino ratio (lower drawdown volatility) than SPY. Feels like a cheat code.
Riding on tech isn’t a bad idea. QQQ already captures most of the individual tech holdings so there isn’t much diversification. Tech rally has been strong since 2010. Ride it to the moon if you can tolerate the swings. I personally like QQQ rebalancing automatically. Removes guesswork. I only momentum trade QQQ (and it’s leveraged cousins TQQQ/SQQQ) and long term with GDE on taxable account.
You can also buy gold etfs. There is one GDE that has both gold and spy. Imagine the insurance fees and commissions to sell on both buying and selling
GDE. Its gold + s&p 500 stacked. Backtests show superior performance to both gold and stocks, and lower drawdowns. RSSX if you want to blend a bit of Bitcoin as well.
That's called GDE. Its cheaper per share, grew 20% since June & pays a high derivative.
If that’s your thesis for NEM, why not just invest in GDE. Or does a leveraged fund scare you?
My GDE fund has been on an absolute tear, everything else was down and this fund gained almost 2% today.
No one knows. Just hold an etf like GDE to keep some exposure to it on top of stocks
Ah, well not as bad. I use a leveraged gold futures ETF. GDE.
Or GDE is a cheaper version that went up 30% in the last 4 months.
You dont need many funds, maybe 5 at most. My roth is just GDE and have a brokerage with just 1 fund as well
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.
Why not both. GDE is your friend.
Yes, you can avoid this with a fund like GDE. It uses leveraged gold futures, roughly 1.8x and provides better total returns than a normal 2x leverage gold ETF. You don't pay collectibles tax on it. Normal gold backed ETFs are treated like trusts like you literally own the physical gold in a vault somewhere.
GDE and chill untill the rug gets pulled.
GDE ETF. All the big good stocks and some gold
GDE continues to be the best investment ever as the world collapses
GDE is SPY with a gold futures twist.
Take on some leverage and hedge the drawdowns using alternate diversifiers. UPRO, GDE, RSST, GOVZ, plus something international.
Today I am grateful for $GDE, an ETF that goes up 1% every day
GDE is the easiest money ever.
The point of gold to me though isn't for my 20% gold to beat the S&P or get me through some sort of apocalypse. ...it is that the gold price (hopefully) won't crash the same day/week/month the S&P does, or ideally people will buy it and it will go up when the S&P goes down or if the US screws up royally. Then I can re-balance and use it to buy stocks low. Stocks have much better long term expected returns, but if you are 100% in stocks you can't take advantage of any downturns and can get screwed if you need money when things are down. In that theoretical scenario where stocks are down 50%, gold is down 10% (or up 20%), and my roof caves in, then its great to have the gold to sell and not the stocks. Gold and bonds are the two best set and forget hedges for the average person. Now, one can argue that bonds are better than gold, but gold is my hedge against the US blowing up the bond market somehow with its escalating debt and leadership problems. I also use some funds with slight leverage (GDE, RSSB) to layer the bonds and gold on top of 100% stocks so theoretically I am not sacrificing the returns of going 100% stocks. My total leverage is only 1.6% and most of that is on the gold/bond side. This year I implemented it and I am up a few % on the market, which I know is just noise and means nothing, But I am curious to see how it does when there is a real recession.
Combination of GDE, PPA, RSSB and AVNM Diversified with gold, bonds, international and defense. Pretty much hedges against most of destabilizing events and gives higher returns than SPY alone or VT alone due to slight leverage of about 1.5x which is proven to be healthy long term. Optimal is 2x but that’s too much for me personally.

Buying GDE tomorrow. Fuck a bond
Physical gold is for doomsday preppers. Most people buying GLD or GLDM. Capital efficient folks who want gold buying GDE
GDE could be a good blend of both, depending on why you sold half your VTI
Sold half VTI, time to buy gold, or maybe GDE?
Appreciate the knowledge and insight! I'm really only interested in leverage with this idea so I'll do some more research on synthetic longs. Right now my portfolio is 75% RSSB 25% GDE which is roughly giving me the exposure of: US Equities: 66% International Equities: 25.3% Treasuries 77.5% Gold 22.5% I guess my goal would be to try and translate this portfolio using options as opposed to LETF. Using Total World Market cap weighted + Treasuries + Gold ETFs and a mix of options for leverage I'm still on the fence with gold which is why I didn't include it in the above post. But thats a whole other discussion....
I thought the only way to learn was to try it out as well as watch a lot of training videos. I guess I could have used paper but I wanted skin in the game. I didn't know much about covered calls before but now I do. I bought 100 shares of GDE because I thought for sure it would go up and that it wouldn't go down that far from where it started so I wasn't worried about the stock as this was a test. I really meant to Buy a Call but I ended up Selling a Call for $35 strike price at $6.45 for about a month expiration (don't remember exactly). This was 3 days ago. Then the stock shot up and I was freaking out thinking I'm going to lose a lot of money. But really I would only lose the gains if I had the stock and wanted to capture the current value. So in between the time it went up my stock luckily wasn't assigned. I was looking at the potential to buy to close as it as this was giving me anxiety. It seemed that I could potentially buy to close and then sell the stock and I would still be a little ahead (ignoring tax issues). However, the stock went down today and thus the buy to close price went down as well so I decided to get off the roller coaster and buy at $3.85 to close which still means I made a little off the difference in option price. So I'm close to where I was in the beginning. I know a lot more now because that survival instinct kicked in. Welcome to Stock Option University!!
70 percent NTSX or it isn't out yet but 70 percent RSSB instead of NTSX, 10 percent UPRO, 20 percent GDE. Rebalance quarterly. Significantly beat the market with lower drawdowns.
Capital efficiency ala return stacking. NTSX/GDE/RSBT etc. get notional 80-100% equity coverage while having a bond and/or alternative (gold managed futures) layer on top. If we hit a 70s like period of high inflation, equities will be ok and alternatives will be great. If we go back to the same old ZIRP policy you still have heavy equity allocation, some bond, and alternatives will keep up with inflation.
True, even of Gold ETFs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe WisdomTree's GDE fund avoids this tax treatment due to the way it's set up. It seems like a great fund as you get both gold and equities at a reasonable expense ratio. OP's dad could just sell off 10% of his equities allocation and buy GDE and retain 90% (of the 10% sold) of his equities and get 9% gold
Interested in capital efficient ETFs like NTSX, NTSI, GDE, etc as a way to get access to a levered portfolio. They are especially appealing over the likes of UPRO, TMF, or TNA because of low expense ratios for what you are getting. I know NTSX has a growing following but has anybody combined these and other similar ETFs to get a nice accumulation style portfolio with a bit of leverage? Maybe an aggressive risk parity style portfolio using these capital efficient ETFs could work as an accumulation portfolio?
glad to hear you have some intl allocations. btw you may want to consider 'return stacked' funds. They combine multiple asset classes and strategies + leverage to get higher returns with moderate risk. Examples are BLNDX, UPAR, GDE
You said “it could be gold” so how how about GDE? It’s an ETF that’s half gold futures and half spy, meant to hedge against inflation, yet it’s down -20% YTD.
