The debt interest numbers are wild, over a trillion just to service it and nobody in DC seems to care. I've had a bit in physical for years as a hedge but I might finally add some GLD too, the expense ratio is whatever but the liquidity is nice if you ever want to trim.
Long volatility. Slightly OTM neutral spread on QQQ with some GLD/SLV puts.
bought GLD calls for tmrw ez Ws
is GLD calls tmrw a good idea too or nah
buying GLD weeklies - 380
Why GLD is running today. Isn't that FEd isgoing to hold??
GLD could go to 400 by mid terms?
GLD diverging from equities today is extremely bullish for precious metals
Going to continue to accumulate GLD and SLV until the market remembers the US is going bankrupt and that the only way out is printing and capping yields at effective negative real returns
GLD 369 1dtes are FREE MONEY
ive noticed GLD is kinda easy to trade post 30 min into open
Hope you guys caught the bottom on GLD and SLV. At least one of those will be back at ath by this time next year
GLD going back to 400?
I think we are near the bottom on GLD and SLV. Those shits simply do not move at all. I didn't even know the market is open right now
You can trade 0DTEs on GLD too I suppose, or at least MWF. Comex Gold futures are just higher leverage. I think Schwab requires like 20k of margin (changes with IV, and other variables) and each contract allows control of 100oz. So it’s just higher leverage. GLD is probably equally as liquid though.
the is a skill to wheel , if your assigned GLD its good to CC it OTM very long when the premiums are good which they were recently
This is what I mean about tail risk, btw. If you wheeled GLD you’d be a perpetual bag holder now.
options has massive learning curve , then there are lots of spreads some spreads has higher probability some lower , some is purely for risk management i will suggest you some books to buy or get it i have read them and they are good i am still reading many so Covered Calls for Beginners\_ A Risk-Free Way to Collect -- Publications, Freeman -- 2020 The Options Wheel Strategy (Freeman Publications) ( adds some more things with covered calls ) I am reading this one right now The Complete Guide to Option Selling · How Selling Options -- Cordier, James & Gross, Michael -- McGraw Hill LLC Professional Division, \[N\_p\_\], 2014 -- isbn13 9780071837620 its good as well I read this book INVESTING IN ETFS FOR DUMMIES, UPDATED EDITION -- Russell Wild -- For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance), 2, 2023 -- John Wiley & Sons, -- isbn13 9781394201075 so i am using etfs as base for margin SGOV , JAAA etc they generate stable yield 3 % + depending on etfs your using . they are alternative to cash but generate yield . so its good you just sell then on the odte for your options to be assigned . I have also read many fundamental books for value and growth investing so you only do the wheel or csp cc on value stocks , and with lots of caution and planning with growth stocks . Some etfs are also great for the wheel . and move differently to stocks |Physical Gold|GLD| |:-|:-| |Physical Gold|IAU| |Physical Silver|SLV| |Mega-cap Oil & Gas/ based on stocks |XLE|
jan calls on SLV and GLD
It was crazy to see TLT go up 2% on the same day that GLD fell by 2%. Metals have come down to their pre-insanity spike levels from a year ago to almost where they were before.
GLD and SLV to zero next week
Ironically they probably hold more value than $GLD :kek:
I watched the new edgerunners s2, felt it was a lot less memorable and good than season 1. Puts on everything. GLD 357 QQQ 680 SPY 750 fuck ur stock market
Not crash, but continue to wave up and down. Only 11 more days, then we have clarity for a Santa Clause rally that we all know is coming. SPY to 790, BTC to 90k, GLD below 360, 10Y yields approaching 4.0%
I'm on it. GLD is going to fly whenever Iran is resolved.
Great time to buy GLD
GLD with its daily, morning cliff-dive before lunch.

If US gov is shooting for financial repression at some point, GLD and SLV should severely outperform after initial margin call covering in theory.
Gonna mortgage my house soon to buy more GLD and SLV if they go much lower
Today was QQQ, GLD, NBIS, and META. We will see if tomorrow is another day to short.
GLD negative on all the charts 1 yr and less
Really liking GLD at this price.
Downvotes are the only currency here worth paying attention to, hahaha. We might have one more violent move to the downside but this is close to the market sentiment in March when I bought heavily and moved my port from stocks to $VT, $VXUS, $GLD, and EWJ My stress level went from peak to zero and I started to enjoy listening to Rock music again.
by the way $GLD is already in a correction.. no one wants their shiny shit anymore.

GLD is more liquid making it better for trading. That's about the only reason to use it
Which ETF is best for you depends on your goal: GLD: The most liquid ETF. Good for trading spot prices intraday. Bad for most other things. IAUM and GLDM: Good for buy and hold because of very low expense ratios. PHYS: My favorite buy and hold. Sure, the expense ratio is higher, but they actually back their holdings with more physical gold than most of the others. GLD for example is up to over 10 pieces of paper for every piece of gold.
I bought the GLD etf. It's an ETF that takes investors money and buys & stores physical gold in vaults. The ETF currently owns \~34,000,000 ounces of gold, you can buy it via any brokerage. It removes the need for me to worry about storing it, keeping it secure, etc.
GLD and SLV shitting
Wow, GLD just gave it all up in less than a half-hour. Impressive.
GLD racing to get back to red before close, it's natural habitat
GLD will not get past 380 until rates are cut
Puts on GLD for guaranteed profit
GLD busy giving back half of that pump already lol
What's the best allocation right now? 1/3rd TLT 1/3rd GLD 1/3rd QQQ ?

You know as someone who trades GLD a lot, it tends to bore people out of position just before it moons.. i would just stay in, and the sudden moon usually comes overnight..
GLD really didn’t do shit and now that I sell for -90% I bet it rips
Is GLD gonna pump anytime soon or what this shit sucked dick all day and I didn’t even get a nut off
GLD is looking very tempting at this price
GLD will not move until oil is solved. Dollar is too strong.
remember the hype for GLD in here? I remember
Can GLD finally go up it’s been sitting at the same price all fuckin day
lol $SLV and $GLD are getting cooked
If GLD could participate in this pump that’d be great
Could have bought anything else and made money today but no I’m stuck in trash GLD
GLD is so boring to trade wtf is this chop and burning me on options
GLD is so ass it only moves pre market or overnight
PSA: Starting today you can trade options on SPY, QQQ, IWM, GLD and a few others before the market opens. You can now trade them starting at 7:30 am EST, if your broker has the ability.
The S&P is no longer diversity, at least until the AI bubble bursts. Now it is dominated by AI and AI-adjacent. I hold VOO but also add XLP, XLV, XME, XLE, GLD, and a few others to reduce concentration risk. Bonds have historically been good, other than post 2020, so we'll see if now is the new normal or if they will revert to their prior role.
Well boys, this is it. At an all time low. Got liquidated by the drop on Friday playing 0DTE. I should have learned my lesson with the 106k and 95k drawdowns earlier in the year, recovered both and finally got to breakeven, when I realized it’s October and I’m 14 points behind SPY, levered up to the tits with calls and went all in on Meta. The funny thing is by the time the dust settled and I gained consciousness after market close, Realized in the last 1 hour I had panic sold everything, all my Stocks, GLD, TLT, BTC, then threw whatever is left 100% in TQQQ. You do not understand how funny this shit is to read, I’m fucking hollering 😂 In all seriousness though, quit while you’re here. Some lessons are expensive. Which makes it even more important to learn from them. If you continue on down this path, there’s an overwhelming chance of you losing everything, at which point you’ll off yourself and leave your wife and kid without a partner/father. So, keep that in mind before any trades
Spot on. Even Gold ($GLD) is down YTD which is wild. I know it had a decent bull run last year but with inflation so high it really made me lose out on so many gains. I'm barely up 5% since I was a little to heavy on Gold ETF and miners.
I bought GLD Jan 385c's, I figure if it bottoms it'll do it around here. No guarantees it does. Look at the \~1yr chart
The bears that survived are now holders of GLD, SGOV, and TLT. Buying puts lost me a lot of money and hoping the world burns is unpatriotic
Biggest loss and gain both last year. I bought two 3-month call option contracts for LLY when it dumped to like $650 last July and made $100k in 3 months. Made a shitload on GLD and SLV, then did some dumb shit near the top and gave it all back. The giving it back part was prob my biggest single loss.
Options trading. I’ve round tripped from single digit thousands to several hundred thousand and back to almost nothing again. If you just constantly trade options for years it really isn’t that difficult. Like one of them I started with $2k, bought GLD 1DTE turned that to $17k, then bought another GLD 1DTE to $50k, then finally 1 more to $125k. Boom only 3 trades in a week when gold was on a heater. Then once you have that you can make more, and I did before my luck ran out on that run. I keep trying for the run of a lifetime where I can finally stop (yeah right) That’s the life of a gambling addict though. As Townes Van Zandt sang, “It’s easier than waiting around to die.”
How are you going to hedge inflation? GLD/commodities? Managed futures? Or just bite the bullet?
I bought ATM GLD calls for jan
It's got really low IV which I like. You just buying GLD or calls?
people always say that gold owners sell their gold to buy interest earning bonds at times like this. also, certain countries in the war zones may be dumping gold to bring in cash to pay bills. IDK if that's really true now. maybe it's like oil prices: manipulated and highly unpredictable. but KGLD seems so interesting because it attempts to track the price of GLD but also pay a dividend. I don't know how long they can make that work tho. that fund's only about a year old.
OMG I keep getting spam calls about investing in gold. Puts on GLD I guess 😒
I went in deep in GLD

Bad YEAR to be holding GLD, honestly.
I agree with you, idk about perma bear status though cause it depends what your positions are; TLT and GLD are bearish positions and they gain value over time. But buying puts or shorting companies? That should be illegal lol
Was up 15% on GLD. Now I'm in the red. Holding isn't always easy. Well, in this case, it was because I forgot I even bought it.
