I closed out GLD calls Monday for a tidy $1500 gain and decided I'd step back and chill for the rest of the week. Really wish I'd been watching the charts this morning.
Need a monster day from GLD. 🙏
Saw GLD down 22$ on Yahoo finance and had a attack. I’m good now
At this point you may as well just wait for gold to finish correcting to around 3600-3800 and just buying a bunch of GLD January 2028 calls
Gotta love that. Couple weeks ago I closed a couple GLD calls at 8x, motherfucker ran to over 15x later on. Of course it was also literally the smallest position I've ever taken, but $77 into $708 was a good win that week.
I invest biweekly 250$ and this is my split. Should I change anything. I am only interested in long term investing GLD: 25$ SCHD: 25$ VOO: 25$ VWO: 25& VTI: 100$ VXUS: 50$ I want to have a more diversified portfolio just not sure how to do that. I usually lean more towards tech stocks but want to also get into green energy and bonds.
And closes at only -0.03% and is now back above $375 in extended hours... Extended hours for $GLD is actually deranged just jumping wherever the fuck, opening prices all over the place, immediately ripping into 3+ standard deviation moves all morning like 3 days a week... The price action though. This ETF these past few months is a wet dream for a learning options day trader like myself. It's like watching every example case I've been studying playing out on a singles chart in real time every day.
Of course the market is fleeing into the safety net of GLD.
GLD hit 405 and all will be forgiven.
I mean it is one of the few restaurant stocks that always does well in a downturn. We'll see I guess. Safest and obvious recession bet seems to be GLD but it has already run up so much
What are the best stocks to buy in a recession besides GLD? On my list are WMT, MCD, TJX. Whatelse? May be gun stocks? SWBI?
I couldn't get it done in 1 play but I've been swing trading the levels on GLD all day and managed to hit a pretty decent lick today myself; 10,600 total. I chipped away at it 5 and 10 cents at a time buying 100 contracts each time. That's how I like to do it given the time and availability to do so. Nothing worse than going in on a "sure thing" just to watch it drop 20-30% shortly after. What's your stop loss percentage? I used to set a -30% stop loss but found that I'd hit it quite often only to monitor the contract in my watchlist and see it come back to decent profits a few days later. That sucks! So, I just quit setting a stop loss; but I also started regulating myself to 1 or 2 contracts when I take out plays with 2+ weeks on em. I got caught up in that rug pull back around Oct. 13th and lost almost 50k in 3 days only to watch every one of those plays come back profitable 7-10 days later. Since then I go smaller and don't bother with a stop loss.

I bought a ton of SLV/GLD in 22 and it has crushed, but admit I have no idea what will happen. Will definitely go down less than SPY if shit hits the fan.
As a GLD stan, I am here to tell you, it’s not true.
As a GLD stan, I am here to tell you, it’s not true.
So when Asia opens and they keep the dump going, will they dump metals too, so the move would be to get puts on GLD or SLV?
GLD never lets you down
Notice no one running to GLD on this red day
Dear eight pound three once baby Jesus. I just want GLD to close today green.
what do you all think of GLD calls?
> VIX is more than 20 That only applies to S&P 500 index funds. The value of VIX has no bearing on GLD, or TLT, or VNQ, or KWEB, and many other ETFs you can trade options on. > Delta between 0.80 and 0.95 I wouldn't use "between." Something in the neighborhood of 80 delta, but more importantly, whatever delta has the leverage factor you are looking for. Like if you are trying to get 4x leverage on some ETF that is $100/share, you're going to want to pay something around $25/share in premium. That might be 90 delta or that might be 75 delta, depending. If it's 75 delta, that means you are getting 4x leverage on a position that is equivalent to 75 shares. Since that trade meets all your criteria, you shouldn't ignore it just because it's below 80 delta. > Go deep ITM That's already covered by the delta target. In the neighborhood of 80 delta is always deep ITM, by definition. So you can omit this rule. > Expiration date: at least 1 year I don't know why that matters. If you find the perfect trade that is only 11 months to expiration, are you going to ignore it? It's more important to pay for an expiration you can afford and that also gives your trade enough runway to reach its profit target. Hard-and-fast arbitrary rules like "> 1 year" are silly. > Liquidity: highly liquid stocks or ETFs. This allow you to easily enter and exit. To be clear, it's not the liquidity of the *shares* that matters, it's the liquidity of the option contracts. And all the previous rules, like 80 delta, contradict this rule. You are rarely going to find 80 delta and 1 year+ calls that are highly liquid. > IV (Implied Volatility): Should be low to get better prices. How low? This should REPLACE that VIX rule, since it is the more general case of the VIX rule and applies to all ETFs, not just S&P 500 ETFs. How low? That's a topic of active debate in the option trading community, but a general rule of thumb is that, ideally, present IV should be lower than the 52-week trailing average IV. Or you can use IV Rank of less than 50% or IV Percentile of less than 50%, which are just slightly different ways to look at trailing 52-week averages.
Is Gyna going to sell or buy GLD tonight?
GLD and SLV bouncing.
GLD chart is literally just SPY chart.
Market is going sideways into the new year. I'm just sitting it out and buying GLD calls if it goes below 370 intra-day
Why did I buy GLD instead of spy or anything else ffs 🤦
Can GLD rip back to 4400
Yeah I'm all cash. Sold GLD today
GLD dumping cuz the AI bubble will continue. LESSSSS GOOOOOOOOO
**What are they doing to my boy GLD?**
I hate GLD so much right now lol.
Just keep buying everything!! SPY TO 800 GLD TO 6000 CORN TO 300000
If people just stopped talking about META here, It will start going up. Just see what happened to GLD
With the files unsealing. CEOs are about to sell all their stocks and do what inner city pimps do and buy a hell of a lot of jewelry so they can post bail and launder their assets. My dumbass is all in on GLD
Damn. Sold close to the top on GOOG but only had $200 of free cash in gambling account but definitely missed out a bit on GLD $374 puts. Highest price I sold at was $.80 and they are printing now
I still don’t understand why GLD behaves just like SPY on days like this
Wtf is happening to GLD today?
GLD tailgating SPY like the BMW driver on the highway
Wow, thanks to the person selling 0DTE $374 GLD puts for $.10 earlier
What just happened with GLD?
GLD call I was eyeing yesterday up like 1200% rn 😐
Bullshit, GLD correlation to SPY is much, much weaker than BRC correlation to SPY, and over the last year GLD and BTC have an inverse correlation. Check the beta, the math maths.
If: GLD is outperforming spy Then: this rally is fake Else: buy calls

**Before you pull the trigger, have you thought through the logistics of holding $1.6M in physical metal?** We are talking about roughly 18-20 kg (40+ lbs) of gold. You can't just stick that in a sock drawer. * **Liquidity:** Selling $1.6M of physical bullion isn't instant. Dealers will take a spread (often 3-5% both ways), meaning you lose $50k-$100k just on transaction costs. * **Security:** You will need a private vault (bank boxes aren't insured for that amount). That costs money every month. * **The "All-in" Risk:** If you are wrong, or if the market stays irrational for 4 years, you earn 0% yield while inflation eats your purchasing power. If you must hedge, why not buy GLD/IAU (ETFs) or limit the physical allocation to 10-15%? Going 100% into a non-yielding asset is financial suicide, regardless of who is President.
why not buy call options on GLD then lol
C'mon GLD, Pump it up! Pump up the jam!
I mean yeah, GLD leaps in June would have let me retire before 30. But ultimately tariffs were always an uncertainty that made betting on a market rally anything but a safe bet.
Do you know anyone selling GLD? Me neither
GLD will return some +70% next year.
Stonk goes up, gold goes up. Stonk goes down, gold goes up. Fullport GLD and youll be happy forever. ATH in december.
Why is SPY and GLD ripping higher? Is the Epstein File out?
GLD … I don’t believe you. You did this last week too
Where is the dude that told us to buy GLD calls yesterday? I should have listened.
Glad I bought GLD and SLV for the AI/crypto fraud bubble.
Brother this is way wayy top green SLV almost 3 up GLD 1.2, very scary stuff
I'm going to short GLD on this little retest it's doing
I have 100 GLD. Sell them if it reaches $400? or holding through a near term correction?
i think thats what it means when they say "were fucked". very possible that SPY/BTC/GLD will all move in the same direction
Money will flow to GLD, 8000 per ounce
GLD giving us a chance to buy more calls before the inevitable rip. No one believes this wont rip
With $1.6 million, storing is an issue. Better to buy GLDM or GLD and hold in your broker account. Physical gold, selling (liquidity) is an issue, storage and security is an issue.
I wonder if GLD will pump or dump if the market falls apart. I think once all the margin calls are out of the way it pumps, but might drop a bit first.
I do not know anyone that regrets fullporting GLD
GLD, XLV, XBI. AI and commodities run for way longer than people think. But I wouldn't do any of these I'd just pick stocks
Why GLD go up but call go down??
I have shit ton of long term leaps on my gambling account and GLD calls expiring 31dec but still losing a bunch of cash today feels shit because I paper handed both calls and puts
So funny story… yesterday I put on one of my first market long positions this year on gold. I sold a 372 P on GLD (maybe I sold it to you?!) for like $30 (0.31) and it ended up for to like $250 at one point, so bigly red. GLD finished at like 371.65 or something. I was assuming I’d be long 100 GLD this morning. But somehow I didn’t get assigned.
GLD getting ready to rocket 🚀
GLD finally diverging? Hope we see ATH soon
GLD was supposed to be a hedge?
GLD going down with the rest of us
$MSTR and $GLD gonna be islands of green
Now GLD wants to move where I needed it I hate this place lol
GLD finally realized it was not an AI stock
SPY to 675 GLD to 380 Let's go - bcoz we love money, 🥭 needs money
Damn it should have bought GLD calls at market close yesterday
GLD pretending to be what it is intended for
GLD and SPY moving against each other? Have we returned to the normal ways??
SPMO, GLD, IBIT / stock market, gold, bitcoin
Can GLD hurry up and go to 340 so it’s buyable again. Please and ty
