Being a precious metals trader is so peaceful. They don't do anything ever. GDX was the same price when I went to bed last night as it is right now. I can sell an atm covered call for $1 above current price for 2 years out and it would be free money and end otm

Dividedby21mil

I know this is WSB but I would GLD and GDX and chill. Leveraged etfs are the devil

Fit-Win-536

Is anyone else thinking about GLD or GDX? GDXU dropped from $550 to $69 since the war broke out but historically gold has done well in times with high global uncertainty so maybe a reversal is due?

Ahamadrayasbaboon

Long CCI, GDX, or gold

As long as this stupid "war" distraction keeps going + 6 months, puts on metal miners is the gift that keeps on giving; 60-75% of their input costs are petroleum products, so ores in the ground will continue to be too expensive to extract, severely reducing revenue.

GDX short interest at 15% wow

Me but with GDX. Buy around 70, sell around 80. Infinite money glitch

Fhyzikz

I'm going to tell everyone my favorite free money trade lately but now it will stop working: start buying GDX when it's 70-73 and then sell at 76-80. Rinse and repeat

IvoryTowerResident

I think ppl are too anchored to what happened in the 80s when gold prices went up with inflation. If you looked are prior inflationary events such thing did now happen. The verdict is still out but i do hold some GDX as i think the chart looks good and a bottom in the short term might be in.

Fhyzikz

Starting to accumulate GDX here

thenorthernwhiteboy

Got a bunch of OUST and NOK leaps rn Might grab some GDX

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

a couple factors are lining up for a nice gold or gold miners play. $GDX 80c

Ahamadrayasbaboon

SSO, GDX, FXAIX. Once SSO and GDX get called away, SPMO, QQQM and VONG are my next largest I think. 

Poptart_Salad

Ah, Gold declining afterhours again. Now if GDX could not spend the entire day session tomorrow trying to counter trend trade this move.

FleetAdmiralFader

Once again, 80%+ win rate on my positions. I have had great success with RIVN, MRVL, DDOG, and even SLV and GDX. RIVN has been particularly easy to predict how far it won't fall even if the periodic sudden increases are hard to predict. The key is risk assessment and position sizing. You don't have to predict the exact pricing in the future, just not be wrong enough to lose money.

Kindly-Departure-254

I get what you're saying. First, SPY is very tech heavy, so it's not really "the market" - it's a segment of the market that includes a lot of the corporations that are ripping the world apart for profit. Second, if you wanted to trade the war, which I did, you were trading USO, GDX, GLD, etc, not SPY. Finally, it will all come crashing down when demand for AI dwindles. An example is the anecdotal reports of people getting rehired, companies limiting their AI use due to token cost etc - when those stop being anecdotal, but instead are legion, that will be a signal. An event that will also impact will be the 2026 midterm. If Democrats take control, the major AI players' stocks will crater in anticipation of investigations, regulations and oversight. I day trade micro-swings in SPY pretty much every day, so I kind of live it and I've made money on Puts, but never more than 14 days out, because I've lost a crap ton of money betting against the irrational optimism surrounding big tech. Anyway, waiting for a bubble to pop is a waste of time. While everyone else is waiting for the big score that could happen in a month or three years, you could be making 25% every day just casually trading near expry SPY calls and puts depending on the trend. I will pick up a couple far OTM December Puts in October, because I figure the election is going to be a shit show regardless and they could easily print huge.

I'm surprised GDX is pumping with oil green and gold red.

Pereise1

Yeah, that's why I bought before close cuz I wasn't expecting Mango to escalate during the week. I've been buying GDX straddles before Friday close for months in case he reignited the war.

Bears are kind of right about parts of the market. Gold and natural gas for example are hidden shorts if all the Iran War thumpers are right. Gold and miners do terribly during commodity-driven inflation as interest rates boom. Miners are literally the most exposed to fluctuating debt rates, international shipping and currency volatility. US natural gas prices are literally the opposite to oil prices because of associated gas. When oil prices are high, producers are willing to take negative natural gas prices because they make so much from oil, and the only place to go for US natural gas is selling into price because there is no way to take it out of the US easily. GDX -4%, UNG -3%, WTI +7%

Great did buying opportunity. Yesterday I went long XLE/ET/GDX

I sold Google and realized the profit. Right now I have SMH, GDX and XLK. Selling weeklies but less than 20 delta as I want to hold long term

Thanks for working it out! Super cool. Well an Nvidia h200 GDX draws 6000 watts. Just to put that in perspective.

GDX has gone straight up since I got short this morning. Literally 2 minutes before Rubio released that statement. Can't even get out until tomorrow. fml.

Want to hedge the war? Just short gold miners, I reshorted GDXU after random gold miners rally of 10%. Remember war is bad for gold, peace is good for gold. But world governments have stopped buying gold and forced to cash in to defend currencies. Then you have China which after Trump goes to kowtow, China will buy Boeing planes by cashing in its gold.  So the trade is simple, buy Boeing, but the problem with oil and hits on airliners, so you hedge with gold miners shorts. Win win because gold speculators made a blow off top, and are now just doing daily trades. Win win win because GDXU is triple leveraged so decays from volatility. You make money even if GDX stays flat.

tachyonvelocity

Peace! What’s it good for? Definitely good for gold and gold miners. What are these moves lol GDX up 8% in 1 day.

I buy the gold miners (GDX) instead of gold itself.

GoldenAries4

Mad at myself for not buying SPY puts instead of GLD or GDX puts. I thought since SPY surpassed previous highs it would have more downside than gold. But here we are, SPY continues to be delusional.

BagHoldersOfAmerica

GDX goes down everyday -1% and then will pump 5% in one day and then repeat forever

TheHollowHedonist

5% in IBIT, 5% in ETHA, 5% in IAU (GDX if it's a taxable account), 5% in SIVR, 15% in VXUS and 65% in VTI. Tweak it from there. That'll cover your bases since you want to be a little speculative with your crypto.

BagHoldersOfAmerica

Thank you to whoever bought my GDX puts ❤️

Poptart_Salad

Bro I was so freaking close to getting short XLE yesterday. Oh well, at least GDX is finally moving up.

Poptart_Salad

Moves for tomorrow are: 1. Cry that I didn't get long Semis or Tech for this run. 2. Wait for GDX to go up and hope to eventually make money, chart still looks ok-ish. 3. Consider getting short XLE if it goes up a bit more, chart looks weak to me

drew-gen-x

Yeah, Rick Rule has been in mining forever, although he's retired now. He was the gold bugs hero in the 2010's. Mining stocks are very volatile since they have political & energy risks, besides just the underlying commodity. I originally bought more Barrick than actual Gold in 2020 and I would have been ahead if I waited 6 years, but the $GDX miners underperformed $GLD for like 5 years. I'm not a fan of miners. $CCJ and $VALE are a bit more stable thou.

Hugheston987

ETFs are the way to go for sure, and then I use those same ETFs to stock pick just a few of their top positions in order to spice up my portfolio a bit. For instance, SPMO, SMH, I also hold URA, GDX, and EIS. As for individual stocks, I've got NVDA, ASML, ASTS, and some XOM

Concept-Plastic

$GDX you go bruv 🚀

D_Pablo67

Gold is not speculative. It is conservative. Over long periods of time (20-25), gold and the S&P 500 have about the same appreciation, but move in opposite. Accordingly, many believe allocating 10% of your portfolio to gold (GLD) or gold miners (GDX) is wise diversification. Gold ETF like GLD does not pay dividends, where most S&P 500 companies do, as do most gold miners. I own EMXC (emerging markets ex China) for diversification beyond the USA. I would buy EMXC at $78 or lower and allocate up to 10% of portfolio.

flowtrader26

The breadth point is the most underrated thing here. Oil & Gas at 100% breadth vs AI at 17% tells you everything — one is a real macro rotation, the other is 3-4 mega caps carrying a narrative. Most retail traders look at theme returns and miss this completely. The AI infra vs AI split is spot on too. Physical layer (power, cooling, data center REITs) is getting paid for signed contracts and locked capacity. The software/chip layer is still pricing in optionality that the market isn't rewarding right now. Two completely different risk profiles dressed up as the same trade. The sector ETF lens cuts through this pretty cleanly — XLE and GDX flow data has been signaling the physical asset rotation for weeks before this kind of analysis confirms it. Institutional volume doesn't lie the way price does.

Dazzling_Occasion_47

yes, and adding to this, *most* gold miners are not pure gold miners. There are a few tickers to choose like newmont which is like 85%-90% revenue from gold, but many derive 50% or less from gold, even the ones with gold in the title. This is particularly true of the etfs, and this affect is even more dramatic with silver, which is nearly exclusively mined along with copper, nickel, iron, etc... It's one of the reasons that GDX and SIL don't necessarily follow jumps in the price of SGOL and SLV. Also there's a phase-lag in price response. Gold miners will do well if the price of gold is high and stays high for long enough for the miners to turn excavated ore into profit, but won't necessarily benifit from a parabolic run-up in spot price like what we saw in january.

Naive-Suit3916

SIL and GDX going back up

HawaiiStockguy

Nope. GDX

Concept-Plastic

GDX really going for it

Character_lamp_184

Nice 20% miner flip, and yeah TACO flashbacks + weekend risks scream caution. GDX usually dumps harder than spot on GC breakdowns like this.

Character_lamp_184

Lol WSB bot sniffing new accounts, but that 20% miner flip was chef's kiss. GC cracking 2380 this week could torch GDX even more.

Character_lamp_184

Reframe the statement to focus on educational content without making direct predictions. For example: 'Traders often watch the GC 2400 level as a key support, as a break below could lead to increased volatility in related assets like GDX.'

Pristine-Still4457

The gold thesis makes sense to me, but the reason I keep coming back to it has nothing to do with Fed rate cuts or mining tech. My read is that the structural regime is shifting underneath everything. We spent decades where efficiency was the whole game, global supply chains, just-in-time everything, capital flowing wherever it was cheapest. That era is closing. Sovereignty and security are replacing efficiency as the organizing principles. That is a generational shift, not a cycle. When that happens, real assets with supply constraints tend to reprice for years, not weeks. The options framing here is where I get nervous though. You are using short-dated leverage to express what might be a decade-long thesis. Those two things do not fit together cleanly. GDX shares, sized right, held through the noise, that I understand. Scaling in and out based on momentum is just trading dressed up as conviction. I could be wrong about the timeline, these things move slower than anyone expects until they do not.

iron_condor34

Pretty sure for retail, you would need a covid like event. I think I remember some people talking about being able to do this in GDX during covid. Or possibly the situation with VXX a couple of years ago. But even then, its still really difficult.

IvoryTowerResident

slowing picking up GDX

Nestado

I hold GLDM and GDX. Before this war, my net gain from GDX was $5000 and $3000 for GLDM. GDX is like silver, I am holding it short term to make profit, like a down payment for a car, while GLDM is long term hold and stabilizer for my portfolio. An asset and hedge against inflation and store of value. It doesn't compound, doesn't pay me dividends but it also doesn't get destroyed from the inflation. I also hold BTG, an individual gold mining profitable Canadian company. At one point I was $500 up in pure gains but now both GDX and BTG are down and I am actually down, GLDM is still holding on. I will continue to dollar cost average and by the end of the year, I am hoping they will turn around. I am only contributing up until my average cost basis reaches current share price. Once that is done, I will stop.

Pereise1

So strange to see GDX up 4% on a day oil is up 5%

GDX has been dancing just out of range of my close order for about 30 hours now. Pls just let me out I'm so done.

This ( not zero DTE ) GDX , SLV , USO , TQQQ Cheap etf’s high premiums for now.

Yup, bought GDX puts for a reason even though IRL I'm smaug.

GDX is going to feel so silly whenever it gets around to looking at the /GC chart.

kppalm

GDX is the gold mining ETF, AEM gold mining company, RGLD gold loyalty stream company. SIL silver mining ETF, HL silver mining company, WPM silver loyalty stream company

gamers542

I go the ETF route. I do the mining companies such as in GDX, SIL, COPX and URA (gold, silver, copper and uranium respectively). You could do ETFs that actually track the price like GLD and SLV. It's a matter of preference really.

About to full port GDX leaps

TheTruthisStrange

3 months should be fairly good. Long term (years is iffy). But it is up about 280% over the last 5 years. What the next 5 years will hold is never guarateed. But their management is superb in that industry, and they are constantly growing organically, and through acquisition, and increase their dividend every year. An investor friend of mine has owned XOM and reinvesed dividends for 40-50 years and he's afraid to tell me how much he has made :):):):):). (My guess +$10-15M. Personally I don't own the stock itself, but I have Yieldmax Covered Call Options on the Stock (ticker: XOMO) which have done great this year. And the Fund Ticker is up \~14% itself YTD. Those CCO funds are not for eveyone so studying and picking the stablest funds is important, but I've studied and continue to study them closely on an ongoing basis and XOMO has been one of their best ones this year with the rise in oil prices. GDXY (a GDX CCO) ""was"" also great, but got hammered with the fall off in Gold over the last 2 weeks. It's recoved quite a bit today, but I'm not in it for now. If the middle east war finally calms down and Gold reverses up again that one will pay out nice weekly dividends. But having said all this, do your homework. Good luck now.
