Today was just the beginning. Fuck Ai. Fuck GLD. Fuck SLV. This is about leverage. We’re fucked.
Agreed - this is a nice reset for GLD and SLV. Would love to see a 21w pullback on SLV but not sure we get it since it's needed for the continuation of the 4IR build out and shortages are projected for the next several years. Someone in the Feb 6 chain thinks we'll get a snapback rally next week. Love how copper held it's own while GLD and SLV were bleeding their own blood...weekly still looks valid there.
Some people have really never seen a correction/pullback in a bull market before and it shows. GLD and SLV are up 12% and 15% YTD respectively despite today and folks are out here crying "omg it's over!!!" and "omg bear market!!!" 😂
Except that the etf resets daily. Your assuming a one day 50 percent drop this monthly drag on a 25 percent drop would be higher than what is was today. Example, rough math. ZLV 50% increase to 2.25 Let’s assume a straight line 5 percent drop across 5 trading days for SLV 2.25*.10- 2.47 2.47*10- 2.71 2.71*10- 2.98 2.98*10-3.27 3.27*10-3.60 Another 25% drop in SLV would put ZSL at around 5.30, and you still would not have reached a 50 percent haircut from $85- it would be around $51. It’s not a straight line number. Yes I’d SLV dropped 50% Monday- you are around your 4.60. But it doesn’t drop that much in a day and if it did we are fucked anyways. Go look at the GLD/GDXU/GDXD chart. You just need either a bulll run with a leveraged etf or a hard bear turn for an inverse ETF. That being said, it would take stones to hold ZLF hoping to catch that more permanent downturn- and this is just napkin math
What a bad time to buy GLD
That's how much he would lose if the value of GLD fell to zero and he never bought the puts back. He sold 5 contracts so 500 shares x break-even value per share of $442.03 = $221,015.00 Break-even is calculated as put strike minus premium.
When I woke up today I saw -35 dollars and I thought it was spy I was like “the fuck blew up ?” Then noticed I was looking at GLD and was like “oh” almost in relief then thought ”wait what? That’s a big ass drop in gold” lol 🤡
GLD moves primarly on NAV not independent from gold spot price. The whole point of ETFs is that by how they work the arbitration between redemption and creation of shares by market participants, the price and NAV can't move in different ways.
I dont know when you bought - but I know for a fact you were UP crazy yesterday morning when GLD was hovering 500-505 (I was, and I had a 550C 2/13). Should of sold....its over
lol I sold all my GLD at $506. Of course I used it to buy smol caps which… also crashed.
GLD $500 and SLV $100 is a psychological threshold. Just like they wen GLD at $400. People are going to take profits. It should not come as a surprise.
I bought a few shares of GLD to diversify... But plan on holding it for at least 15 years. Retirement account!
Meh. If the next chair keeps rates steady or raises them, Trump will tweet about how stupid he is and start a criminal investigation on him. Gold will rise again because the Fed's independence will be seen as threatened. If he's a yes man and cuts rates like Trump wants, the Fed's independence will also be seen as threatened. Still going to hold on to GLD.
I’ve started transitioning from CSPs to a max loss strategy with ICs and credit spreads over the last week. I transitioned all of my stocks and etfs, except GLD, which I was going to do on Monday. Arggghh, one more day. Have 5 449 csp contracts expiring 3/6/26. Hoping that price will stabilize and I can run out the clock, but would have been much better if I had gone ahead and bit the bullet yesterday. A day late and a (few thousand) dollars short.
I bought GLD and MSFT on Tuesday...fml
We all try to find meaning to explain. Reality is, Silver went parabolic where even regards in this sub started spamming SLV. Tom friggin Lee even came to WSB to discover 2 most popular tickers on Wednesday where GLD and SLV. This was bound to happen. It ain’t Rocket Science.
Commodities love round number triggers. That $5,000 in GLD was the sign. Not only pure profit taking among traders but institutional profit from large hedges. Real people make money protecting from these large deviation moves. Triggers go burrr. Not a pump n dump- proves a market- wouldn’t be surprised if SLV tests $100 again this year- would sell- hard part is timing when you get in and having the stomach to ride it out leg in small and trade long term contracts.
Very lucky but those kinds of buzzer beater wins are what make the game addictive. I’ve been trying to buy way OTM $GLD put leaps all night and haven’t gotten a bite even above asking. I can’t imagine the speculation will last much longer. There’s no reason for silver to be over $100.
GLD is just a physical form of crypto
This is the GLD ticker my friend, not actual gold. It is traded just the same as any other stock.
Up 180% on SLV since April and 47% on GLD same time frame. 🤷♂️
if I were to guess, it was a targeted sell-off coordinated with the news of the new fed pick to spooky the commodities market and defend the dollar against further devaluation also the run was way overextended, I guessed GLD would settle at 430 today (where it would be if it was in a healthy range) and it bounced right off of it so probably a mix of these things, the thesis stays though silver though, that has been a memecoin since $50 and has always been heavily manipulated so I have no idea
Sold all my amzn/GLD/intc calls after open and bought some Feb monthly mstr and qcom calls on the dip and mstr closed +4.6% 💪
Where can I find GLD and SLV on solana?
Wut? GLD is back to where it was sometime last week!
Am I stupid to have bought GLD at $460....
Yep, been scooping a little bit of GLD here and there since november 2024. Even after this current dump and averaging up over the last year each time, i'm still up 50% overall lol
Profits. You buy stocks too get dividends or sell too make money. Silver and Gold were always going to drop imagine thinking Gold was going too keep on rocketing while the long term holders are seeing their money doubling and tripling if they sell. SLV & GLD are pretend anyway, you aren't buying ounces.
It was expected. It took way too long. But it was quick. Hopefully we're done for a bit. GLD and SLV trade flat for a bit like they did in October, then resume their climb.
Wow i sold GLD yesterday. SEC incoming
GLD down 10.27%. IBIT down under 0.71%.
Down bigly on my 3 month out GLD calls. Sometimes you have to admit, you just made a bad trade.
Even tho I lost money today, the crash of GLD and SLV brings me unlimited amount of joy.
So what you’re saying is GLD is on sale? I’m still up like 15% from my last big buy a couple months ago.
Let's look at yesterday's GLD chart, shall we?
If the SLV and GLD bulls made so much money why the ones in here so mad disgruntled lol Someone makes a comment about them, random SLV / GLD bull: "fck you idiot, made $290K this year from trading metals this year, you don't know anything, it will keep rallying"
Someone would have cashed in. Anyone here who bought GLD at 5k or more??
I knew it was the top for GLD and SLV when my shoe shine guy was telling me to buy gold and silver. Full disclosure: I shine my own shoes.
I agree nothing will change with this new chairman. But SLV to GLD ratio has been compressed sharply since 2025 so at some point people decide to take profit, news from China banning SLV trading also fueled the dump.
SLV GLD pumped by news media and on this thread for months. U said one negative thing about that stuff and got auto downvoted by bots 😂😂. Insane stuff
Look, I'm not super intelligent when it comes to investing, and I am pretty sure there are lots of sketchy things happening in the market currently, HOWEVER, GLD jumped over 17% in the last 10 days and then dropped by 12% today. To me, that signals more of a pump and dump than any kind of serious market breakdown, especially knowing who is in charge at the moment
Opened a GLD position in April with a small add in early June-still up 47% after today Opened a small SLV position in October-still up 79% after today Not going to close anytime soon. Both will recover for various reasons, just in an orderly manner. It a small fraction of my net worth and will still act as a hedge.
GLD to $580 in a week is crazier LMAO
lol rugging gold is fucking hilarious. Precious boomer metals acting like a shit coin. Can’t wait to see GLD at 600 by March for another round of rugging
Killed some GLD calls for a flip
You get it. I also just think that the next stage of investors aren’t just going to be 100% equities (mainly tech here) like they were in the past. Post covid and post the 80% increase in fiat, political uncertainty and diabolical share price to earnings for those major companies people are just like “ya know? Maybe a Liquid Metal etf is a great addition to a portfolio when a tech company is at a 5 T $ mkt cap”. Even if you had a small position in GLD,SLV, etc in the last year you are prolly up at least 25-70%??? Why not take some chips off.
Glad I didnt buy into that nagging thought in the back of my head telling me to buy more GLD
GLD and SLV with trillions and trillions of value got dumped like a meme coin. What makes you think your memestock cannot dump 30% in a single say? 🤣🫵
Same, sold GLD and SLV puts just couple of days back after taking 80% loss
You think you scared me off of GLD? https://preview.redd.it/ecnbydjt9kgg1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=667b4389a273eeac6b2a65cc4da6fd0b91f725d4
Bought back some of the GLD I sold yesterday at $505 for $447. Was only a small portion of my holdings, but it helped.
Josh Brown said Tom Lee checked WSB and saw GLD and SLV as the top tickers and expected a flush
Still not selling my GLD calls who cares
I genuinely cant believe we lived and traded GLD/SLV through this historic day...wow....market is so unbelievable manipulated and corrupt... just wow today. I made it out alive by luck. To those who didn't, no other choice but to believe God is putting you through challenges to mature you and your soul...without this belief, this would be unbearable. You can survive this bros who got wiped, been there and done it in different ways many times in my life. Things will get better ❤️ don't spiral, rest a lot, breathe
GLD actually stands for gelding, which is what my wife’s boyfriend will be doing to me when she finds out about my calls…
My GLD crown after today https://preview.redd.it/umtffswr4kgg1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=692cc10374cea9a095be4ba6d2bea9b1f76b18b2
there's a non-zero chance warsh nomination will be cancelled over the weekend and GLD will hit 600 next week
who bought the dip on either GLD, SLV or COPX?
If you’re bagholding SLV and GLD shares you need to relax. It’s the most risk-free bag you could possibly have. If it hasn’t recovered by next month just sell some CCs and delete the app for a while.
Look at a daily chart for the past 2 years. It's gone up, way up, very quickly. It's simply profit-taking. I'm in GLD ETF & sticking with it. Waiting for the volatility to go down to put more in.
For SLV and GLD bols, today was the equivalent of wiping our asses with sandpaper.
Depends when you bought. For me, I started to DCA when I knew Trump would win. Been buying and holding GLD for years and topped up when Elon’s DOGE was an actual thing. Rounded out with actual bullion just for immediate access and use in real life if need be.
\-$32,500 from GLD and SLV crash today.
If you wouldn’t sell GLD or SLV, what makes you think others would ? It’s going up guys and girls 📈
Too bad I traded GLD puts the past 2 days u retard. Slv and GLD trade is fukd now
GLD went from 430 to 456 in a flash It’s not over they shook the regards out
I'm so glad I lost my ass on WSB in 2022 learning how to not be regarded otherwise I'd have lost soooooooooo much money on SLV and GLD
Honestly I just think the market overreacted to this news. Sure, GLD/SLV are down but so is everything else...feels off.
I got most of it out yesterday. I let GLD sit overnight and gave back 8k in gains.
Slv -30% GLD -10% in a day is a where's the rope kinda day move, many months if gains gone in a day
Looks like GLD, SLV money coming back to BTC, crypto
They should have halted SLV GLD
Damn, only up 77% in the last year on GLD. The horror.
Yeah the focus being on GLD and SLV crashing when the entire market is blood red... Something else is going on and GLD/SLV are just the most volatile. It isn't like the USD is in a magical recovery period because a new stooge has been selected like the media is trying to report. I bought calls but this isn't investment advice, do your own gambling.
Loaded on GLD, if I didn't MU was also an obvious choice.
I was up $4k on meta calls and $2k on GLD calls that expire on 2/20. They both went to $0 today lmao. Got out with my initial investment
Makes a great argument to diversify. My GLD is down 8%, stocks about 1-2%, BTC SLIGHTLY, and I mean SLIGHTLY, up, and cash, well, shit, believe it or not, up?
Imagine if GLD back up to open in an hour
Damn dumping GLD right at 3:00 on the dot
Once again, if you didn’t load up on GLD calls today do you even like money? I’ll sleep nice all weekend knowing taco may send a tweet out causing us to moon back to over 500
GLD zero day calls absolutely nuking 🤑
Nah - my GLD leaps are still up 40%
Need the whales to pump all the SLV and GLD gains into crypto. These MSTR bags feel kind of heavy.
I almost lost 10k on GLD but flipped a coin and took a $25 profit instead 🤷♂️
GLD will go back to 500
What do you say GLD old buddy old pal? Close green for the lolz?
u/PaperTowel5353 comment on News and Macro will override is 100% right, but even on this dip you are seeing ALOT of buying come back in on $GLD Bigger concern is more silver imo, also these contracts are priced stupid now. But i will say people saying Support/Resistances dont matter are pretty dumb, would be just watching HTF instead of 1-2hr levels. 1 day is gonna be key imo.
Sorry, I looked at GLD last night. ( Won't do it again. )
GLD is listed on NYSE, SPDR gold shares ETF
Just in SLV announced a merger with GLD, now it will fly!
Gold's sell down is likely way lower since it went up way more gradually until like mid-January. Plus the long-term thesis behind it is much stronger than SLV, hence the way smaller collapse. I'd expect no more than 15-20% from the top. If you're looking at like GLD as I'm guessing you're not buying physical gold, I wouldn't expect it to get more than another $30ish dollars down near-term. There's big support at 420.
Today $SLV and $GLD have become a meme stock
