Do you think it's still worth going into metals right now with some big money with LEAPs? And if yes do you think GLD or SLV or something else is the play?
I hear SLV and GLD have great returns
GLD will hold its gains. SLV will come back down eventually
Plz let the bers talk shit about SLV GLD
Good thought process, historically when GLD/SLV has dropped so much in such a short time period that indicates a correction 2-3 months down the road.
I mean it's so fuking obvious that as long as Taco reigns, SLV/GLD are a safe haven and hedge against his antics
Silver is more easily afforded by the masses. Same goes for shares of SLV vs GLD.
Truly strange times. GLD and SLV up because of a weak dollar and yet dollar denominated oil trades at 60. And for the 2006 shills, we should be at post peak oil in 28
If you look back through my earlier post, you can see that I was more focused on gold, particularly via GLD and UGL, for the earlier part of last year. I never made a follow-up post, but I re-entered into UGL around late August with a much larger stake. I sold that in the middle of October. I then re-entered a second time in early November once there was a consolidation and well-defined uptrend. I, however, completely missed the rise in silver earlier in the year. It wasn't until I started talking with acquaintances, who specialize in commodities trading, that I started paying attention to it. After those conversations, I snagged some SLV and AGQ shares last year that I rode from November until this year. Those turned quite the profit, and I was able to avoid much of the whipsawing that occurred earlier in the year and even back in October. However, silver started to become increasingly volatile in the last week of December due to the back-to-back metals margin rate increases. The daily ±7% swings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of that week were just too much for me to stomach. I was also happy with the 60%-ish and 160%-ish gains that I had accumulated for SLV and AGQ, respectively, so I sold everything to lock in my profits and start preparing for tax payments. In retrospect, I should have kept holding. I would have been up around 130% and 360%, respectively, as of today. Those gains would have easily paid for a 296 Speciale, and then some, even with the ridiculous added-dealer mark-up that comes with them. Now, though, I'm not sure that I could enter into the same silver positions. I much prefer gold's slow creep to silver's blistering sprint.
Still if gold goes up the gold miners will also go up, and all depends on how much time we have to hold the gold, I’m thinking of maybe 6 months or 1 year, so I’m thinking of GDXU, but still GLD and GDX catch my eye, one because of its price and the other because it tracks real 100% gold, what would you recommend though?
$17 in unrealized gains wooo. Yeah I own 0.4 shares of GLD. Kind of fucked up and bought MU with all my cash.
GDX tracks gold miners, not gold itself. GDXU is leveraged - great for excitment, not for sleeping well long term. GLD tracks physical ( fee are a bit spicy) A mix makes sense: gold will swing, I plan to hold on and enjoy the ride.🙈🙈
Need more SLV and GLD ber talk in here
Please keep the GLD and SLV hate going
So happy there’s so much hate for SLV and GLD on here
SLV and GLD are going to rocket even more this week...Iran about to find out why Americans don't have free healthcare...More tariff threats from Orange Tacoman on Canada, South Korea....and more.
Orange Tacoman drops another Truth...dashing all hopes of SLV and GLD bears.....Sorry SLV and GLD ghey bears...your tomorrow is going to be as shitty as today.

What are you on about? GLD was up 1.5% at close thats solid
GLD did me a little dirty today
Finally bout into GLD at $467. That’s now the top, boys. Only down from here
after today, basically everything other than SLV/GLD are all flat for the year. How sad. They MURDERED small caps
OK, which one of you regards just moved the metals market by selling all of your SLV & GLD?
And there is fcking is!! I have never touched GLD until today 2 hours ago and thought maybe I should go in. Of fcking course who would’ve ever guessed this is what happens when I buy in…
might be time for GLD and SLV to crash -20% and get 9001% gains on puts
GLD and SLV being this correlated shows its speculation driven
Months ago, I thought GLD was superior to SLV so I bought GLD over SLV now I retard 😔
Getting too tempted to not sell GLD right now at 5k
Some ETFs like GLD actually own gold bars. Some ETFs are futures products.
That was your dip to buy on GLD / SLV
same. i bought more of SLV and GLD
I'm just gonna keep buying monthly calls on GLD until my account blows up
CNBC regard trader said to buy GLD. Top is in
My last trade to close out 2025 was buying 15 contracts of silver at 55 strike that expired on 01/21/28 and 10 contracts of GLD at the 500 strike, expiring on 01/21/28. I sold both those contract on Jan 2 for 3k gains combined because I wanted to start off 2026 with a win. Those two positions right now would have been over 90k in profit right now...
GLD calls are just ridiculous
got juked out of my SLV calls on the october metals dump, thank god I held onto GLD but gahdamn yall that's an eye-popping vertical
Help Pick a new brokerage for 403b. I have a 403b at work with a limited number of choices for investment companies. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any of them and was hoping the community might help me narrow down my choices. I have several investments (Brokerage, IRA, Roth, 403b, HYSA) with Schwab, Fidelity, FNBO, and American Century. American Century currently holds my 403b (about 15% of total). I am very unhappy with the funds available and performance, in short, I need to move. I have been very happy with Schwab (preferred) and Fidelity over the past 25 years, but they are not available through my workplace. My preferred investments are index ETFs (VOO, SWPPX, SWISX, SWLGX, etc.) as well as some GLD and about 5% cash. I'm not really interested in actively managed MFs as they tend to have higher fees. I don't really need to put any money in this fund into cash or gold as I can re-allocate at Fidelity or Schwab to balance my portfolio when needed. Below is a list of investment companies available to me. * American Century Services LLC * Ameriprise Financial / RiverSource * Aspire Financial Services * Confidential Planning – MultiChoice * Corebridge Financial (formerly AIG/VALIC) * Equitable (formerly AXA) * Fiduciary Trust Co. of New Hampshire (Formerly Waddell & Reed) * GWN / Employee Deposit Acct * Invesco OppenheimerFunds * Lincoln Investment Planning * Lincoln National * MetLife * Mutual Inc / PlanMember Services * NY Life Ins. & Annuity Corp. * Oldham Resource Group, Inc. * Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC (Formerly FTJ FundChoice) * PenServ SmartSAV (formerly Foresters) * PlanMember Services Corp. * Security Benefit * The Legend Group * Thrivent Financial for Lutherans * Voya Financial (Natl NY) Please help me to narrow this list down for further research. I'm also open to other ideas that people might have, if there are any. When I started investing at 21, I knew very little and kind of just random picked. In the last 15 years of so, I've become much smarter about where to invest but I am an IT guy, not a financial guy. If this were IT, I'd say that I know just enough to be dangerous. All "advice" is welcome, but please do not flame me for being stupid in the past. No AI responses PLEASE. Thank you to everyone else who's willing to help!
SLV and GLD being driven up by Rus/CHN for similar reasons. Has nothing to do with AI imo.
send money to GLD and SLV for 2-3 years and forget bratha
I have one GLD contract left for eoy at %220, the ones I sold at %200 last week ended up %400 today....
A SC ruling on tariffs would stop this GLD/SLV rush no? Assuming they rule the tariffs are illegal
USD is about to be toilet paper look at fucking SLV and GLD.
I've just sold my SLV position. Just bought GLD. Reasoning: idk just felt right
turns out buying gold digitally, is the real digital gold. $GLD
GLD calls sold for a nice 400 percent profit. It’ll probably rocket now but whatever
just a heads up if you are looking about riding this GLD and SLV wave - overall, SLV is moving about twice as fast. so, if you're feeling bolish on metals, SLV is your play.
Central banks were already overweight US Treasuries, they just never had a reason to rotate. Now they do. GLD / IAU are long-term holds, not trades.
It's kind of insane to think GLD/SLV will reverse while USD is being dumped like never before.
Last 4.5 trading days have been productive in the “fun” account….today was SLV 0DTE sold, more GLD leaps (holding), smith & Wesson options bought at open sold For +70%, and added to BIDU leaps. Sitting on GOOG leaps as well. https://preview.redd.it/2pv0i8k3ypfg1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ea93e9e312ef19568fde8de353b10a45bf831f4
I have been moving my covered calls on GLD since it was 331 (profitably). Bloody thing took off the moment i wrote my first call on it It feels like riding a tiger Now at 480 and even that isn't looking safe lol
If you’ve never researched it, look up the 20 questions for gamblers anonymous. If you answer yes to several, think about what that means for your life. You currently have 10 MILLION. Stop gambling on stocks/options. Diversify (VOO, QQQ, GLD, SLV) and others, but no more options. Slow down too. Don’t lose it all by chasing more and more gains in short periods of time.
Bought SLV GLD put then it shoots to ATH Welcome assholes
spytards still be like "I COULD buy SLV or GLD and make money, but 700 is coming I CAN FEEL IT"
Bought GLD in April at $275. Just sold half to lock some in.
Hate to be sassy but there’s no way anyone could possibly know this, nor know what’s best for you. Hold old are you? What is your financial situation? How close are you to retirement? What type of account(s) are you talking about here? If you think gold is going higher, you should probably buy gold. If you think US stocks are “on their last breath”, you should probably close out all your positions. That said, general rule of thumb and common sense tells us not to try to time the market, and overcomplicating your allocations based off of emotions probably isn’t a winning strategy in the long term. If you want to bet against the US, buy gold at all time highs, by all means go ahead. Realistically you probably shouldn’t do anything drastic unless you truly believe you know something that literally $100tn worth of investors haven’t caught onto yet. If you want good exposure, buy some GLD (or whatever other vehicle you think is best). If you want less US exposure, sell some U.S. exposure and allocate elsewhere. Again, a well thought out plan is reasonable but using sweeping assumptions like “US stocks are done and gold will be parabolic for the foreseeable future” to position your portfolio is probably not a winning strategy in the long term. I should mention - I like gold and US stocks. I am long both and adding to both.
GLD destroying USD VXUS beating SPY \#SELLAMERICA
I don't like this. Not getting a chance to deploy more into GLD.
buying more long dated GLD calls from the profits that I previously booked on GLD calls
The premiums on GLD and SLV are crazy
70% VOO, 30% metal ETFs (SLV, GLD, CPER). A lot of ppl on here won’t agree with me, but I'm on track for 240% this year in my portfolio. I'm a strong believer in metal for the next coming years. With implantation of all this new tech, the oldest form of money is gonna be safer than other assets. SLV may slow soon I still think it will hit 120 around April; safest bet is CPER in my opinion.
just bought another 15k GLD and a bunch more MU at the dip.
hold or sell GLD calls from Friday ??
Bear in mind, GLD is "easy to borrow" so you shouldn't be paying net interest on the borrowed shares. The annualized interest ought to be something like 0.30%. So, in fact, you ought to be EARNING interest (albeit a little less given the haircut for the borrow) on the deposited cash
I've been full porting them since jan of last year (well sorta, sold all my nvidia to buy 27 acres, used leftovers to buy GLD and SLV while is play with 3x leveraged gold) I'm legitimately worried about paper gold and paper silver rn, i'm tempted to try and convert to physical.
"sell america" trade doing quite well for me. sold some SPY last year to buy GLD and VXUS. I have made almost $64k compared to my original AA. 😎
Keep pumping GLD to 500 please
Already up 1% on the GLD and SLV January 2027 ITM calls I bought. Feels good.

Buying SLV and GLD last year is the best decision I've ever made. Don't talk to me peasants.
Why am I invested in tech anymore should just full port UUUU, GLD and SLV.
If you are fine owning GLD long term, taking assignment is not the end of the world. Just make sure you actually want the shares at that price and that it does not blow up your margin. If not, rolling the puts out and down for credit before expiration is usually the cleaner move.
Should I buy GLD or SLV LEAP today ?
I wish I had buy $GLD calls last friday
Just got back from a worry free vacation. Gonna open up HOOD. How’re my USAR, CRWV, SLV and GLD puts looking?
Buying $GLD and $SLV in fırsat minute. And i guess im gonna sell my QQQ calls
GLD trending. I might sell because of this in a week
It's slightly worrying that everyone here is so bullish on SLV (and GLD). But there's not really anywhere else to rotate to that isn't already overextended
Its not that BTC is down 20%, its that GLD is up 80% and SLV is up 200% that makes me depressed even more.
What is going on with GLD 😂
SLV and GLD. precious metal is the go to play due to geopolitical tension. Save haven and increase demand as store value. Silver is using in 5G infra
You have a valid point as well, however even the worst management should be able to trip over the luxury dirt they own and make a profit - I worry about deploying levers right now, if *"Debasement trade and USD Regime Change"* Prints. like some of those 800+ GLD options predict... At 800 why not 1000, at 1000, why not 10000, at 10,000 we are really just measuring dollars by the wheelbarrow not the decimal place. Either indeed you are *fabulously* wealthy -Or- no one is left on the other side of the trade to pay you.
I've never done PMCC but if you exercise that option, you will have paid $6,400+$32,000=$38,400 for 100 shares that you will be paid $45,500 for. That's $45,500-$38,400=$7,100(profit)+Premium on $455c=Overall Profit. If you had sold that call at the last minute for the price, capturing $8,652.50 in profit, you would have that to help purchase the 100 shares that were at $458. That means $45,800-$8652.50=$37,147.50 cost basis of 100 shares by selling the option and using margin to buy the shares. You will receive $45,500-$37,147.50=$8,352.50(profit)+Premium on $455c=Overall Profit. You lost $300 on the profit by selling the call because the price of shares went $3 over the amount you must sell at, $455. Between the two options of covering your short, the difference is $8,352.50-$7,100=$1252.50. You will lose $1252.50 by exercising the option. The price of GLD is up by $9 premarket, your option value will also go up. If you sell your option, immediately buy the 53 additional shares you need to cover for 100, since you already have 47. Do not worry about margin interest, it's calculated daily, so $10ish per day or so.
You’re short GLD and have 2 GLD Long Calls. You do not have a GLD Short Call You have a GLD short They are two different things. If you close out your GLD short position, you have to buy 48.71 shares at the current market price of $468.66 and then sell them at $455.26. Realized a $652.73 loss.
Are GLD calls at open regarded
The day SPY falls off a cliff while corn goes straight up like GLD and SLV have been doing is the day you should consider buying
