What's the best play to buy today or tommorow if there is no hike on wednesday? GDX calls?
Interesting but i doubt that. Smallcaps are ass, euro stocks are ass, china, india, middle east floundering too. East asia will bust if ai busts. Latam, canada, australia may outperform due to commodities. As such GDX would win. At least that's my thought process.

Hey guys, tomorrow's picks are SNOW, GDX, DRAM
Depends on the equity. VDE GDX OIH. I’m kinda interested on MLPX, data center growth is being fueled by natural gas electricity. Gas power plants - once built- will be run for decades even if renewables are subsidized. And there is a ton of growth in lng exports. Even if we move to companies using more open source models instead of frontier models and running their own hardware, the power demand increase is still going to be there.
Do you have a Roth IRA? If not you'll want to start one right away. Fortunately you have enough cash to max it out for this tax year, so do that. You can buy international funds in a Roth. Open a money market and park enough cash in it for next year's Roth contribution which at this point is only a few months away. Keep some additional cash in the money market as an emergency fund so you'll earn some interest on it. As for international funds, there's dozens if not hundreds out there. VXUS is a solid choice. A smaller amount in VYMI is a good complement to that. Stick to the basics unless you're willing to put in the time and effort to educate yourself on the other options out there. As for gold, GLD and PHYS are good options. PSLV is the main one I know of for silver. I believe that PHYS and PSLV are Canadian. Keep in mind though that silver is super volatile so owning that depends on your tolerance. GDX and SIL are the big ETFs for the gold and silver miners and could bring outsized returns, but the warning on volatility applies doubly so to them. Just remember not to dismiss US stocks out-of-hand. Keep in mind that if the US stock market tanks your regular contributions to your SP500 fund will buy in at a much lower cost which in the long run will be very beneficial. Also, you're way too young to be invested in bonds. If possible take that bond portion and throw it into stocks.
Emerging Markets Ex China (EMXC) is my favorite non US investment. ASR and PAC are both airport ground ops and concessions companies in Mexico with monopolies and stream revenues. Banco del Crédito de Perú (BCP) is the largest bank in Peru, which solid revenue and earnings. Newmont Mining is my gold stock. Agnico Eagle is also good. GLD and GDX are gold and gold miner ETFs. If you believe in digital assets, I would invest in companies that use it for payment rails like Sofi. Bitcoin tends to trade in sync with the NASDAQ 100, but also a month ahead.
We are all long AI. I hedge with GDX
GDX the ETF for me personally as I literally bought it at its ATH of 110 🥲 and it’s 10 percent of my portfolio. I know it will go up eventually but I did buy it very expensive and I’m thinking I will exit once it touches about 110 again and then re enter at lower levels? Any advice would be appreciated on what I should do
GDX with insane strength all things considered.
I found a gold chain on a sidewalk while walking the dog over the weekend. You know what that means. Calls on GDX.
Yeah I got caught in the July sell off pretty hard. Recovered well but it got hairy for a bit. Mainly rode the O&G train with MPC and Chevron + GDX and PAAS calls - worked out well!
GDX should be even more prime to pullback, but nope.
So miffed right now. Fomo into GDX or not? Go long oil hoping for the crazy blowout that would cause orgasms over at r/oil? Go long gold, tlt, btc, equities? Cash? We all know the bubble is on its last legs but how on earth position?
WTF GDX making bitcoin look like an old man.
Badass, thoughts on jumping on now? I just got some starter positions in GDX and SIL
GLD, GDX, and IBIT are the only green
Thanks. Gonna sell my semi positions today and buy GDX.
I bought GDX and GDXJ and plan to hold for next few years
Put $8k into GDX a couple mos ago when I moved my IRA into Schwab. Was getting pissed seeing it down -$700 at first and now suddenly I’m up $2k in like 10 days.
Reminder this asset (and GDX/GDXJ) regularly fall \~10% in a single trading day over bad news. Hold your balls if you're gonna lever up on gold miners or some dumb shit like that.
Gonna buy some GDX on Monday or add to my gold if there’s a red day
I should have bought GDX instead of GLD
I’m on GDX for the same expiry, wish I bought more
Not in dotcom. And that's why i would avoid gold miners now, they tend to crash even more. Hard to say though with the regard strength GDX is exhibiting.
i just need GDX to hold this price long enough for options prices to settle. +50% incoming
Note to self: Shorting GDX doesn’t work if gold itself keeps going up.
That remains to be seen, I believe the ratio charts warrant having a mix of both metals and miners. If you use trading view, you can plug these ratios in as GDX/GOLD and SILJ/SILVER, and check the large basing patterns going a decade+ back
Gold: For the metal alone, GLD or PHYS. I prefer the latter, but GLD trades at much more volume. For miners, GDX, GDXJ, and GOEX (if you prefer a mutual fund, EPGFX). If you don't have a broker yet, sign up with Fidelity. I don't recommend crypto until you are a seasoned trader.
I own gold ETFs, physical gold (and silver), and gold mining stocks. The gold ETFs I bought in 2019 are up +200%. I invested $300k in physical gold and silver in 2019 that is currently worth $665k. My gold mining stocks are up +100-200% in less than 2 years. I have been buying more of the gold ETF IAUM recently despite being already heavily allocated to precious metals because I am bullish on gold at current levels, and I'm not the only one https://command.verifiedinvesting.com/vi/research/gold-cycle My best performing gold mining stocks vs VOO: https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/compare/iag-vs-au-vs-ccj-vs-gfi-vs-kgc-vs-aris-vs-ego-vs-drd-vs-voo/?r=5Y If you don't want to invest in individual gold mining stocks you can use ETFs like GDX or SGDM. You can buy physical gold at a local coin shop, at Costco r/CostcoPM, from online dealers https://findbullionprices.com/, or here on reddit r/Pmsforsale.
MRNA, TEM, PURR, GDX holy shit man so many ways to make money during market hours And my watchlist revolves around neoclouds, semis and a bunch of old ass mag7 and softdead companies lmao I need to spread my horizons instead of just my ass cheeks
Buy gold. Lots of it. Or gold miners: $GDX.
Who the fuck is shorting GDX right now? Seems fake.
"Fine guess i'll fomo into GDX" I would say if i was keen on becoming a bagholder.
All eyes on gold. If it makes a higher low in september then the bullrun resumes and GDX will make you rich.
Sure thing homie! GDX.
Add some GDX to your portfolio
GDX had some crazy strength vs gold in this bounce. If the precious metals bull market returns it should do incredibly well.
Also looks like gold miners are the play as well. GDX breaking out big picture against gold after a decade of miners underperforming and still being priced as if gold was much lower. Gold can come back down but it's likely to not go below where it bottomed this year. I really didn't expect gold to break out for real but this is very convincing.
Bought GDX SIL COPX during that dip thank God it saved my entire port
It’s literally the same thing, but leveraged. Gold drops 10%, GDX drops 30%. Why would you call it “better”?
Interesting setup. Feels like selective risk-on rather than a broad melt-up. I’d be watching high beta closely—if that flips, it could be the real confirmation. The 30Y yield is still the big risk though. NTAP/TRMB look solid; GDX chasing the gap is the one I’d be most cautious on.

GDX breakout caught me with my pants down. Gains capped at 77.5 this week. Luckily I am also long a larger GDX position in my 401k so I guess it's sort of ok
I should not have sold a covered call on GDX. I always regret it but I keep doing it anyway. I have a serious problem

What miners would you suggest buying, or do you think ETFs like GDX and GDXJ are the best bets?
I like AEM, but I diversified out of them last year to either GDX or GDXJ, whichever had the lower expense ratio.
Could be. Looks like they've bottomed to me. Their bad days aren't that bad anymore. GDX and GLD are in a tight range and the green candles are always way higher volume than the reds. Massive support at 70-72 for GDX and 365 for GLD. They are definitely holdable now
The order book on GDX (gold miners) is wildly bullish
I gave up on GDX and added to my SPHQ position.
It always is. Only the metals are at tradable levels right now. They're gonna go way up during the upcoming global debt crisis. Long GDX. I buy more whenever it hits 72 or lower
funny, WARP reminds me of a mistake I made with GDX years ago - bought a "sector ETF" without realizing how much single-stock risk was still baked in from the top 2-3 holdings. space ETFs have the same issue right now, SpaceX/Palantir-adjacent names probably dominate NAV in most of these even when the fund holds a dozen tickers.
Sell F, buy GDX, CTA
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
I know this is WSB but I would GLD and GDX and chill. Leveraged etfs are the devil
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?
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. AEM 135p 8/21 AGI 32p 8/21 AGI 38p 8/21 AU 85p 8/21 GDX 75p 7/17
Me but with GDX. Buy around 70, sell around 80. Infinite money glitch
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
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.
Got a bunch of OUST and NOK leaps rn Might grab some GDX
a couple factors are lining up for a nice gold or gold miners play. $GDX 80c
SSO, GDX, FXAIX. Once SSO and GDX get called away, SPMO, QQQM and VONG are my next largest I think.
Ah, Gold declining afterhours again. Now if GDX could not spend the entire day session tomorrow trying to counter trend trade this move.
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.
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.
Spy 760c Amzn 250c GDX 87c 🙌
My GDX calls will be down 30% instead of 70% <3
I'm surprised GDX is pumping with oil green and gold red.
