Well, tech has gotten crazy. If you follow the IGV and you look at that from October to today, it had a nice steep decline and now a bounce? And that's the software side of tech where the fear was ai can do software better and then you've got the memory clowns, micron, and Now we have SK hynix along with Western Digital and SNDK and those guys were on fire during the summer (but they are commodities) and don't forget the Korean KOSBI fiasco, if you followed that so yeah, tech is really a split personality because of the AI trade... Do we need it? Oh, we have to have it, it's here, but it's too expensive. And it's gonna kill us, but it's gonna make the world better/worse/safe... So I've done the same thing... I've added to my Lily position, for example, and I own VALE and FCX AND GLD... you know, because I want to be diversified. GL

Looks like insiders know it's a hold. If it is a confirmed hold, GLD will go parabolic.
Even the volume on GLD is super light. No one knows what Warsh is gonna do I don't care what the gambling sites say. When he said no guidance, he meant it.

I own CATL stocks . Just buy them on the Hong Kong stock exchange (HKEX) . Outside the USA electric vehicles and hybrids are typically 50% of new vehicle sales in most Western democracies. Sales continue to expand rapidly. The USA seems to lag because despite all the complaints; gas and diesel is typically still 50-75% cheaper in the USA of what people in most countries pay. CATL dominate global battery tech and sales . I've owned a small business in China now for 26 years and have been buying goods from manufacturers in China and selling in my home country during that time. I'm a regular traveller to China to trade shows. In the past few years I've seen EV's in China move from a curiosity to absolutely dominanting the market. It's easy to see the future for the world when driving around in China where in about 10 years I've seen gas and diesel cars become dinosaurs . I noted just this week than EV's and Hybrids now outsell internal combustion engine sales in Australia. I use Interactive Brokers( IBKR) online platform to trade stocks all around the world. I've found it's better value to buy stocks direct from their main listing exchange than buy the "American" version on a North American market plus it seems only a matter of time before the Ai bubble bursts and USA stocks crash massively. Virtually all S&P ETF's ROTH's 401k's are dominated by just 7 tech stocks , so even if folks have SPY or QQQ their 401k's are seriously exposed to Ai stock Using IBKR; it's easy to buy stocks all over the world. There'd 2-3 other globally large online brokerages you can use that are reputable; I settled on IBKR because of the range of financial instruments I could purchase . About 90% of my stocks are not in my home country and buying a stock in a different country is no different than buying in my home country. I have stocks in Switzerland , Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan Korea , UK and Hong Kong exchanges . The process is identical . Set up an account on the platform, send some $ and then select the exchanges you want to buy stocks from ( takes about 8-12 hours to add a new exchange ) and then just enter the stock code and your bid price I just sold some GLD ( gold) stocks on the NYSE as rather than "paper" gold I want to buy some physical gold ; it took 4 days from the time I sold the stocks for the money to transfer through to my home country bank account . The delay was because I hadn't set up my bank account to send funds back out of my IBKR account to my personal bank account. Once my banking details were set up in IBLR's system it took about 4 hours for the money to hit my account.

The time for GLD has come. And canned food. And bunkers.
GLD would pop up if there’s no rate hike. Even just a hold will send people running for inflation hedges. TLT and HYG may tank.
Just buy GLD. You know these yields and debt will cause a default eventually, then you're rich. This is obviously for those with a bit of patience.
GLD shall pump when the news starts making debt crisis the main story. Smart money gets its calls now and sells when the media gets on it.
Market is giving quite a good opportunity on GLD. It fell because of a rush to liquidity, and the initial reaction to yields rising. Yields rising is supposed to give more competition to non-productive assets, dropping their price. And this would be true if yields were only rising due to rate hike expectations. But they are also rising because a debt crisis at these yields is almost guaranteed with the government carrying 40 trillion in debt. So the market has priced out the debt crisis hedge in gold. In reality, it should have priced it in even more. Welcome to asymmetrical risk. 🍆

They're rating the odds of a 0.25% rate hike at 88% likely, despite Trump actively telling the fed now to and him having direct influence of some of the votes, in fact telling them to cut it even more. GLD is gunna explode in a few days

VXUS and GLD are both good recommendations, fully agree. I'm personally holding a bit of gold and gold miners right now, as well as a good amount of foreign equities. As far as yields go, I agree. But 5% is a key line if (when) it breaks yields will likely surge higher. So they're going balls to the wall to defend it, despite the fact that it's likely all for nothing as yields will go higher so long as this conflict remains unresolved
The indices moving higher is more of a reflection of the demise of the value of the DXY than the economy. You mention 5.011% on the 10 yr likes its a line in the sand. 5.011% is still WAY too low of a rate to encourage funds to move from equities to bonds like $VTI to $TLT in anything less than a trade. US 10 yr would need to move to at least 7-8% to encourage demand to meet the new supply. People demand 2-3% ABOVE real inflation to make bonds worth their time or investment. When I wasted time here before I was encouraging buying $VXUS and $GLD. That hasn't changed. You don't need to watch the daily stock movements to realize the end game is a weaker USD and higher asset prices. Everyone should be focusing at the value of the denominator rather than the value of the numerator when trying to figure out stock, indices, or asset prices like housing, crude oil and gold. Cheers.
Our GLD, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy gains. Thy inflation come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in fed.
GLD sold down hard on open, clawing back all day
My GLD yielded $250 today hell yeah!
GLD going to at least 395 by eod. That 11am candle was crazy
GLD about to blast off. Those candles are wildly bullish
The GLD holders were getting so excited as well...
Buying all the GLD calls I can get before debt crisis makes them unaffordable 🍆
Temporary USD strength is irrelevant. Accumulating GLD and commodities
What a blessing. Time to buy more GLD

Earnings week next week sucks. Time to GLD strangle every day.
Funny thing about the bond tape right now: while everyone is arguing about how to save treasuries, somebody already put the biggest bond bet on the board - and it went the opposite way from the panic. Yesterday's single largest new options position in bonds was TLT **calls**. 106,885 contracts, roughly $900M notional, opened in the session right before a hot core CPI print. TLT calls pay if long bonds go up, i.e. yields come down. So that is real money betting on treasuries rallying, placed straight into the print that pushed hike odds higher. Either a contrarian duration view, or cheap convexity bolted onto a book that is already short duration. Both are real trades. For scale, the rest of what got opened the same session: * GLD puts - ~$2.97B * IWM puts - ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - ~$2.42B * META calls - ~$1.75B * SMH puts - ~$1.17B * TLT calls - ~$0.90B Gold, small caps, semis and high-yield credit all took puts in the same session that NVDA and META took calls. That is a book keeping its upside and paying up for protection. It is not a everybody-out panic, whatever the headlines say. One thing worth understanding about this data, because it is the part people miss: these are open-interest changes, not volume. Volume cannot tell you whether a trade opened a position or closed one. OI can - but it only settles after the close, so you are always looking one session back. It shows what got *put on*. It tells you nothing about who took the other side. I pull this off the tape every morning. It is consistently the most useful thing on the board and the least talked about.
GLD jumping to $420, MDB falling to $200, FIG jumping to $30, OKLO dropping to $25
Worth adding what positioning looked like going *into* this print, because it did not line up with the hike narrative. Largest **new** options positions opened Thursday across the whole US market, by notional. These are open-interest changes - what was opened, not what merely traded: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B * TLT calls - 106,885 contracts, ~$0.90B Two observations: **TLT calls are the odd one out.** That is a long-bond position - it pays if yields fall. About $900M of it was opened the session before a core print that pushed hike odds higher. Either a contrarian duration view, or convexity bought against an existing short-duration book. **The equity side is hedged, not bearish.** Gold, small caps, semis and high-yield credit all took put flow in the same session that NVDA and META took call flow. That combination reads as tail protection on a book that is still long, rather than a move to risk-off. Data caveat: open interest only settles after the close, so this is one session behind by construction, and closing trades are excluded. It shows what was put on, not who was on the other side of it.
Everyone is pricing the hike. The single biggest new bond position on yesterday's tape went the other way. Largest **new** options positions opened Thursday, ranked by notional. This is open-interest change, not volume - what got *put on*, not what got traded: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B * TLT calls - 106,885 contracts, ~$0.90B TLT calls are a bet on long bonds going **up**, i.e. yields down. Roughly $900M of them opened in the session right before a hot core print. Either somebody is very wrong, or it is cheap convexity stapled to a book that is already short duration. Both of those are real trades. The rest of the board is a hedge cluster, not a tech-crash bet. Gold, small caps, semis and high yield all got puts in the same session while NVDA and META got calls. That is "keep the upside, buy the tail", not "sell everything". Caveats so nobody reads more into it than is there: OI settles after the close, so this is always one session behind. Closing trades are excluded. And it tells you nothing about who took the other side - a put buyer needs a put seller.
If you want to know how the biggest books are hedging this exact risk, you can just read the options tape. Open interest changes tell you what was *opened* - not merely what traded. From Thursday's close (last fully settled session), the largest **new** positions opened across the entire US market, by notional: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * **SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B** * HYG puts - 91,760 contracts, ~$0.71B Three things that bear on your question: **1. SMH puts are the literal answer.** SMH is the semis ETF - the cleanest single-instrument expression of "AI/tech risk". About $1.2B of *fresh* downside protection went there in one session. Not QQQ, not SPY. If you want the same hedge shape as the size, that is the wrapper they used. **2. It is not a one-way bet.** The same tape opened ~$2.4B of NVDA calls. The big books are not net-short AI - they are holding the upside and paying for tail protection on the sector wrapper. That is a very different trade from "rotate out of tech", and it is usually the cheaper one. **3. The company it keeps matters.** IWM and HYG puts were opened alongside it. Small caps and high-yield credit are liquidity hedges, not semis views. So at least part of that SMH put flow is a macro hedge wearing a tech costume - worth knowing before you copy it as a pure AI-risk trade. Caveat so you can weigh it properly: OI settles only after the close, so this is always one session behind, and it shows what was *put on* rather than direction. Closing trades are excluded - these are new positions only. It tells you nothing about who is on the other side. No position in any of the above.
holy fuck i dip bought GLD in premarket already up $5 per share
GLD moonin, ADBE droppin, FIG moonin
Looks like my 50x iron condor on GLD with wings at $392 and $412 expired worthless. If oil pumps, will wsit for GLD to drop a bit before putting it on again. If oil tanks, will wait for gld to pump a bit before putting it on
How does this end? GLD to the moon like the last time?
Oh GLD you piece of shit, why didn’t I sell my calls yesterday
No shot GLD recovers 4$ in the next hour is there?
I wish I did puts instead I got GLD calls and they fucked my ass so hard
I knew better than to get calls for GLD today the fuck
Same I’m wondering why my GLD calls are getting choked
GLD is killing me rn holy shit
And I chose GLD instead today what a joke
I’m getting fucked currently on GLD trade
Need GLD to just go over 401 why the fuck is that so hard
Thank you for the cheap GLD calls homies. Imma load em up
And once again GLD at 400.
So is that good or bad for my GLD calls?
What is this fuckery going on with GLD ??
TBT and GLD. I got in one both a week ago. That $5,000 won’t happen, BUT inflation will skyrocket and they’ll print dollars like we can’t even imagine.
Trying to free up some funds for GLD calls, anyone interested in my left testicle or right kidney?
Sold 50x 0dte iron condor 392 -- 412 wings, on $GLD at open today for $400 credit. Worst case is a $5k wipe out. Not touching equities. I know.. Risk and reward is not WSB worthy, so just sharing it w/ chat. Please dont ban me mods
We have to be getting close to capitulation on oil. That USO chart is reminding me of the GLD chart before the massive satan cock
GLD and SLV began moving in tandem with the stock market ever since they became popular with retail because there's so many options being sold on these that they're now vulnerable to the exact same MM algorithms that try to pin everything flat to drain premium
I regret so much not full-porting GLD in the 360s and then just selling calls for the rest of eternity. It was so obvious
I'm thinking about SLV and GLD.
2 weeks from now GLD call buyers will be sitting on the beach sipping Margaritas from their gold cups. Wearing gold chains and bracelets, while eating off gold plates. After a long day in the sun, they head back to their 5 star resort, where a golden dildo awaits in their bedside table for their pleasure. What a life.
Thinking of 1 or 2DTE GLD calls... but I have trust issues.
What is up with this price action on GLD?
GLD calls, if yields stay this high US government is insolvent.
GLD calls. Gold going up either way. Yields this high = debt crisis.
