Sold my GLD calls. You're all welcome.
Gunna wrap my balls in GLD someday.
GLD calls are always 10 baggers all year and I miss it every time
It's a mixture of end-of-year profit harvesting and either a large firm or a group of firms trying to pin it to ensure that the quarterly calls they wrote expire worthless. To the former point, there have been coordinated sell-offs across multiple commodities within the last few weeks on any run-ups. Silver is an outlier, since there are multiple factors that are contributing to its continued upward momentum. To the latter point, futures contracts keep getting dumped any time the spot price reaches exactly $4340/ounce (119€/gram). It's likely that whomever wants GLD to stay under $400/share until the end of the calendar year.
GLD is screaming policy error 😆
GLD ytd outperformed all individual MAG7. Only GOOG comes close
I said, ‘Really GLD? Again with this shit?‘

Really GLD? Again with this shit??
What’s the play to invest in Oil? The oil companies? Just buy futes on WTI or Brent? (They scare me) Is there like a GLD but for Oil?

Waiting for GLD to moon when 🥭 starts his oil war
GLD looks like its in a weird spot right now. Broke out of its ascending wedge, got rejected at 397. Looking for a close below 394 before I short...otherwise long
Sorry for the most boring answer, but in 21 years of investing, I've learned that my portfolio earns most when I just don't touch it, or try to pick sectors or stocks. I would have significantly more money if I had just stuck to my current allocation of 65% VTI/ 20% VXUS / 5% VB (vanguard small cap)/ 5% GLD/ 5% IBIT. The only thing I've changed in the last 5 years is I had 10% GLD before IBIT started. I liked to have the gold for inflation/stagflation/US underperformance like 1969-1979 and 2000-2010. I rolled 5% of the GLD to Ibit, seeing it as "digital gold". I should probably roll some of my VTI into more VXUS, because of the US over performance recently, but it's really hard mentally for me to add more VXUS- I've read all the theory and intellectually I understand I should have more VXUS, it's just hard for me to pull the trigger on re-allocation when foreign has VASTLY underperformed for basically my entire investing career. Having said all that, I do expect worse US performance in the next 10 years, and I expect the US to keep printing- which is why i have the the GLD and Ibit.
OP, I see that this post is a few months old. But hey OP, looks like GLD is beating the market over the last 20 years as of now.
For now…if 397 fails on GLD…it’s going down to 392
I started with GLD early 2025, switched to SLV in July and dumped it recently. Started adding PPLT and PALL last month. I'll hold those for long, but will add GLD and SLV again once I see a correction
GLD full port at ATH? lol
Here’s a free play today. If GLD holds above 397, calls…if not puts… free money
Mostly GLD I don't see another head spinning rally from here on for tech stocks But precious metals are gonna be crazy next year after my idol jpow leaves
Dunno about GLD, but maybe because SLV has been pumping 3%, like, every day for the past few weeks?
Why did GLD and SLV drop? Anyone know?
SPY going down and GLD going up?
If GLD rejects 396.75 during futures, puts are free money tomorrow
Also, the conventional wisdom that miners trade like a leveraged version of the underlying commodity does not always hold. It's true in a lot of cases, since their underlying profits leverage to it. However, that's not been the case for the last two years. As a good example, back in 2024 Q2, the top gold miners, like Barrick and Newmont, had an average all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of around $1300/ounce. The average price of gold in that quarter was around $2350/ounce, which is a difference of $1050/ounce. Now, if we look one year later, at 2025 Q2, we can see the average AISC was $1420/ounce while gold was $3280/ounce. So, gold had an improvement of around 40% YoY wheres the miners' AISC only changed by around 10% YoY. We didn't see a big jump in those miners, though, until earnings season, so there was a significant leverage lag and thus substantial upside. You can see, going back further, that these miners and collections of miners, like GDX, have significantly lagged due to being largely forgotten. If you grabbed LEAPS early, even as recently as last year, then you would have locked in a 1100%-3200%+ gain for just holding a few months. We're seeing the same story play out now. A lot of the big miners took a bruising in October because gold was overbought during the 2025 Q3 run-up. However, the miners themselves were not significantly overbought. The ratio of gold miners (GDX) to gold (GLD) was only around 0.209, which is below the biggest GDX-overbought periods seen in 2020 (0.231) and 2016 (0.234) and closer to the long-term average (0.19). As well, if you look the miners' AISCs now, they're around $1550/ounce, much of which is attributed to the higher royalty payments that are tied to the price of gold. Some companies, like Agnico Eagle, still only have an AISC in the $1370/ounce range. So, as long as gold continues to either consolidate or rise from its current $4300/ounce range, then there looks to be a lot of potential upside going into February earnings period when 2025 Q4 results are reported for all of the main miners.
GLD on its usual pump (AH) and dump (at market open) cycle
Full port GLD/SLV shares tomorrow if you don't want to get gaped.
Save me GLD, you’re my only hope
HOOD moves with crypto. It trades like a gold miner stock but pegged to BTC instead of GLD. Now you know the secret. Trade accordingly
[https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gold-climbs-near-record-haven-081305068.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gold-climbs-near-record-haven-081305068.html) So GLD pumps if numbers come in soft?
There goes GLD, SPY calls here
I should have gone all in on GLD when it went to like 370
Most orchestrated dump ever btw SPY, QQQ, GLD, BTC, literally everything started going down at market open
Lemme buy 1 share of GLD and break the bull run. Brb
✨GLD✨ once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now just the Islands.
compare SLV (108.32%) vs GLD (61.13%) YTD
So you’re saying my GLD $400 1/16 calls have a chance?! 🥲🥲🥲
Imagine not buying SLV and GLD and instead buying 0DTE calls on SPY for the last 2 weeks 🫵🤡 Won't tell you another sunday night, clearly by now you hopeless 🤷
That fits my read as well, it has it's place for *me* right now, but it doesn't fit well with the long-term principles, philosophies, or styles I adhere to to. It's a way to hedge exposure with a medium-term view. I appreciate your perspective, thanks for responding, I hate it long long and short term as well, but it's helping me manage psychology and risk intermediately for exposure and I think I will maintain into 2026. The expense ratio is very notable is and why I will only hedge exposure with it, I prefer GLD to hedge equities personally. I don't like not being in control, but I'd view it as a passive (if expensive) tool to manage risk. BUFD is, let's just call it excessive in every way and worse than GLD and Bonds IMO. 'Yield Max' funds are the worst development of this, but managed buffered Indices/ETF's (despite the fee) look like a tool to me. I think GSAM's acquisitions (if you look into it), makes some worth a glance at least. Thoughts?
Why did I not buy more GLD... Already 25% of my port but it should have been much more
Forgot I got some GLD 400c on Friday for EOM Nice

WMT and GLD the 2 recession plays have been pumping gld a while. Pay attention regards
The consensus is holding a ticker like GLDM is better than physical gold. You don’t have to worry about counterfeiting, or safekeeping. And it’s way easier to sell when you need to. You pay a small expense ratio for buying ETFs like GLDM, but physical gold usually involves upfront premiums, anywhere from 2-5%. Way higher than GLDM’s 0.10% expenses ratio. Profit Margins: Are They the Same? No, profit margins aren’t identical due to the differing costs and structures. Both derive profits primarily from gold price appreciation (or losses from depreciation), but: • ETFs: Your net return is gold’s price change minus the expense ratio and any trading fees. For example, if gold rises 10% in a year, GLD might return ~9.6% after its 0.4% fee (assuming no other costs). Over long periods, low-fee options like GLDM (0.10%) preserve more of the upside, making them cost-effective for passive holding. They tend to have narrower margins eaten by fees but higher overall efficiency for frequent trading. • Physical Gold: Profits are gold’s price change minus buy/sell spreads (e.g., 3–8% round-trip), storage/insurance (~0.5–1% annually), and any taxes/fees. A 10% gold rise might net you only 5–8% after costs, especially for smaller amounts or short holds. However, for very long-term storage (e.g., decades) without frequent trading, physical gold could edge out if you avoid high ongoing fees—but this assumes minimal storage costs and no theft/loss. In general, ETFs often provide better net returns for most investors due to lower total costs and ease, especially over shorter horizons or for diversification. Physical gold might appeal if you value tangibility and are willing to absorb higher transaction/friction costs. Historical comparisons show ETFs tracking physical gold closely, but physical can underperform net of expenses in many scenarios.
See this is why most people don’t make as much money with the wheel. There are rules like “sell 15 delta weeklies”. But in reality, you want to look at macro, catalysts and key levels. If you are on top of these things, you can handily beat buy and hold. If you look at $GLD, the 15delta 7DTE would be at $383 strike. But given the recent price movements, I would be very cautious about selling that put. Instead a bear call spread at $402-$403 would give you at 38% max profit over risk.
Why can’t I quit you (GLD calls) 😩
Good question, but is 250% apy not enough? Or 400? But here's the real thing: GDX's IV is higher (giving those fatter premiums) because **its price is much more volatile**. Have you plotted the 2 together? Here you go: [GLD vs GDX, 3 months](https://imgur.com/a/pIlpJkS) I'd much rather have a smoother underlying to sell CCs on than all those ups and downs of the miners. Oh, and another thing: GDX doesn't have M/W/F expirations, so you're locked into Weeklies. So with the ability to trad GLD 20 3 times a week, maybe you match GDX's weekly Premiums anyway? I like how you're thinking though, and GDX is definitely a leveraged gold play. You probably know about GDXJ too, but the charts are about the same, and GDX wins on liquidity. Take care.
It s this kind of jumpy policy that has been very good for GLD.
Hi everyone, looking for honest feedback. I run a small business and want a simple, repeatable monthly system for taxes and investing. Here’s what I’m doing: Taxes (~$40k/year): - Every month I set aside tax money - 100% goes into gold (IAU / GLD) - I also keep 1–2 months of taxes in cash as a safety buffer Remaining profit: - 20% stays in cash (living + business expenses) - 80% invested, only into 4 assets: Investment allocation: - 40% S&P 500 (VOO / SPY) - 25% Gold - 20% Bitcoin - 15% Silver Goal is not to beat the market, just something robust, simple, and sustainable long-term. Is holding tax money mainly in gold reasonable? Does this asset mix make sense? Appreciate any advice 🙏

No. My gold positions are in Canadian ETFs where you can't trade options. I would only sell puts on GLD though.
I got in GLD at 354 but it keeps retracing back towards there every now and then. Do you sell covered calls whenever it reaches all time high?
