Dropped all my SLV about a week ago when it went over $51. Still have my GLD, but will start selling when it reaches $405 or so (previous ath is like 409). Will sell in batches as it passes $409 and will dump it all by the time it reaches $420. Silver is currently being played with so I decided to get out and when Gold goes that high again, they will start to play with that which means time to get out.
Im proceeding with caution. What that looks like for me is: selling (or avoiding buying) stocks with extreme valuations/no profit not being too quick to buy dips More exposure through indexes than individual stocks. But im still long tech, not selling my BTC/ETH, staying long GLD/SILJ.
Theoretically, if ETFs or funds like GLD, SLV, PHYS, PSLV etc. could issue more flexible (transactable) "shares" (e.g. via the stable coin mechanism), it could make a dent. The problem is that their vaults reside in jurisdictions, where the insane western governments could start going after the physical assets. We have a precedent for that in Executive Order 6102.
Very nice. You accomplished this mostly on just doing 3 month calls on META and GLD?!
Options only. Earlier in the year I froze up from selling NVDA when it dropped big, was down to $40k, went all in on SPY PUTS on Liberation Day, doubled up, been riding META and GLD since, plus some HOOD
VGT, VYMI, and GLD is all you need.
GLD doesn't move the price of gold. GLD is setup to match gold spot price. The GLD Trust will use arbitrage to make adjustments (share dilution or buybacks) to maintain correlation with gold price. Gold price will be determine by commodity exchange markets, they set the price base on global demands.
The Chinese central bank holds more than 2-3x as much gold as GLD does. Indian households own 30x as much ($3.8T) gold as GLD does. So if you think GLD moves the price of gold much, **you could be right**. GLD is far more liquid than gold bars and gold jewelry. GLD trades about 46 tonnes worth of gold **each day** \-- 7x more than the Chinese central bank purchased in all of Q3. Indian households buy about 750 tonnes of gold per year. GLD volume is equivalent to 11000 tonnes per year.
Nah you probably don't want to trade futures you could lose a lot of money doing that .My brother was a gold trader on the floor down at the Comex a long time ago before it all went electronic it was open outcry pits like if you ever saw the movie Trading Places but anyone on the floor had a huge advantage over anyone sitting in their house trying to make money trading those gold futures especially at the close of the day when certain banks were trying to manipulate the closing price they could just jump in front of the order flow stick to GLD or SLV for silver
I made like 200k in 6 weeks off IREN and RGTI. Have large positions in GLD and SILJ and now we wait
They did GLD bulls dirty today
What do I gotta comment to get GLD to 400 then?
GLD you fucking dicktease will you ever get to 390?
wtf is GLD doing, move you yellow bitch.
I've noticed that the stock is basically just leveraged fartcoins just like the gold miners etf is just leveraged GLD
GLD being flat today is making me sad.
Here what I bet is gonna happen next week: the fed does not drop interest rates because of lack of recent data. Powel is then gonna be fired and then gold eventually skyrockets. I’m loaded with GLD leaps.

Wow, i hope SLV and GLD holds steady till open.
I lost all my money on fucking GLD calls. It sucks

Bought everything at the highs. A lot of stuff like OKLO and GLD before fuck face’s China bs on Oct 15th, caught some healthy bounces and stayed in the mid 100’s but the slide on the first-second week of Nov killed the rest
God damn GLD is fucking me over
GLD followed by CXSE, VXUS and DXJ Put a aubstantial amount of my portfolio in these ETFs from Oct'24 to Jan'25
Slv and gld since late last year through march 2025. Just got out of SLV, waiting a bit more for GLD.
Both my GLD and SLV short positions are doing so far so good; told ya Banksters will knock them down.
Most of those gold trades you’re seeing are either CME gold futures (GC/MGC) or GLD options; to make money on a drop you short the futures or buy puts/put spreads. Platforms: IBKR and Tastytrade both support gold futures; you’ll need to enable futures permissions and margin. Robinhood doesn’t offer futures. Symbols: GC = 100 oz, $10 per 0.10 tick; MGC (micro) = 10 oz, $1 per tick. Start with MGC to size small. Pick the front month with the most volume, use an OCO bracket (target + stop), and close or roll before first notice day so you don’t mess with delivery. Big movers are CPI, FOMC, NFP, and DXY/real yields; if you’re new, avoid holding through those. If you don’t want futures, trade GLD/IAU: buy a 30–60 DTE put spread for defined risk, or use inverse ETFs like GLL/DGZ for simple short exposure (know they decay). I use TradingView for GC/MGC charts and OptionsStrat to price GLD spreads, and Ask Edgar to scan miner filings and earnings transcripts when I want context on supply/dilution. Short version: it’s futures or GLD options; short the contract or buy puts to play downside.
Short gold / Puts on GLD. It’s coming back down to earth the next 3 months.
Gold is currently going through its usual consolidation stage after a large run-up over the last few months. This time of the year is also typically when gold stagnates and low-volume plays can swing the markets greatly. Gold likely won't start to pick up again either until another two-ish months pass or until we have more insight into both the inflation rate and the potential for future rate cuts. I previously held an eight-figure combined position in GLD, UGL, and GDXU from late February to early May. I bought back into them at a similar level in early August. I am still holding shares in all three tickers. I sold most of my deep-ITM LEAPS on GLD and GDX last week, since volatility started to impact their value and will likely continue to do so until around the Chinese New Year.
My GLD calls and TSLA puts looken great
GLD can’t even keep up with SLV momentum.
Something similar happened to me, though it was just 30k up on GLD calls, then that evaporated the next day when it pulled back hard after I re-upped right at the top.
I can’t decide what’s a bigger tease GLD or META. Both will flirt with you AH, take you the room, blindfold you and then take your wallet and runaway at market open.
I just back tested my own trading logic,when sell QQQ, buy GLD or TLT and vice versa. QQQ&TLT combination gives 179% and QQQ&GLD gives 206% in 365 days. I did not mix two etfs or three etfs combined testing (not so much interested).

Is this an Ad for the linked company? > I avoid ETFs like GLD because of the fees and counterparty risk; Vaulting services are just adding the same fees and counterparty risk into your physical gold. I don't see why you would like that. I don't see why you would want physical gold either. Bonds are plenty conservative for my needs, and I can simply stagger them to provide payments-in-full at maturity even when the bond market is down. The only scenarios where gold is significantly safer than bond ladders are society collapse things, and in those scenarios your liquidity and authenticity issues will be even more apparent. > you can store it in a safe at home or a bank vault, and it feels more real than just numbers on a screen. This is what gold is really about. Gold is about a feeling. If you need that feeling, then buy some gold. It's not about money.
Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is GLD to 390 or higher. Thanks.
GLD calls has been very effective for me!!!
GLD and SLV being wrecked today.
Why GLD always quick to go down but never up
GLD you flat piece of shit go up
Good luck with that, Apple is barely starting to outperform SPY. YTD AAPL +17% SPY 16% GOOG +68% NVDA +30% Even random boomer shit is up more than aapl: VXUS +27% GLD +57%
When JM bullion starts messaging me flash sale alerts I know that GLD and SLV are fucked for the day I don't even have to check

Really GLD can't even muster 1% today?
twenty years is a long time. I'm not a huge fan of these positions usually but I'd have to go GLD, VOO and VXUS. Individual stocks are just out of the question.
Gold futures 🚀🚀🚀 GLD: guess I'll die
Ive had some good trades today, but GLD calls at open was NOT one of them
GLD is such a tease. Won't drop low enough for me to want to buy more, but won't go up during normal trading hours.
GLD can u give me 1% today? 🥹
There are a number of ways to trade gold. ETFs: GLD, GDXJ, GFDX Futures: /GC and /MGC Options exist on both the ETFs and /GC except for /MGC
META and GLD, Santa isn’t coming, so it up to you two. Do what you can to bring some joy.
GLD red I knew I should’ve sold my calls FAHHHH
Maybe I should have bought SLV futures instead of GLD few weeks ago.
If you were here Sunday night and didn’t buy IBIT calls or MSTR calls idk what to tell you. It was the most obvious reversal since GLD hit 400. Every mother fucker in here wouldn’t shut the fuck up about 🌽 going down.
If you want to invest in gold don’t mess with futures. Especially if you don’t know what you’re doing lol. Stick with GLD or IAU if you want liquidity. PHYS if you want your shares backed by actual gold.
What my chatgpt told me about these trades Great — now that you’ve shared the screenshots, let’s reverse-engineer what this guy actually did and (more importantly) what you can realistically learn from it. I’ll be blunt and clear so you don’t absorb the wrong lesson. --- What DID he really do? This WSB trader claims: > $500 → $55,000 in ~2 months Return ≈ +11,383% Now look at the actual trades. --- Pattern from the screenshots (not luck — structure + aggression) 1. He is trading PUTS aggressively Repeated positions in: APP (AppLovin) PUTs BABA PUTs TSLA PUTs ORCL PUTs SPY PUTs IONQ PUTs GLD PUTs HOOD PUTs This tells you: > He is not a meme chaser. He is a volatility hunter betting on breakdowns. --- 2. He scalps BIG size, tiny moves Examples you can see: Bought APP PUT at ~7 → sold at 40 Bought BABA PUT at 0.68 → sold at 1.79 IONQ PUT 1.93 → sold at 3.75 ORCL PUT printed ~22+ These are: ✅ Directionally correct ✅ High leverage ✅ Held minutes or hours ✅ Sold into volatility spikes He is not holding for days praying. He is sniping intraday panic. --- 3. He pyramids size When early wins hit: He increases contracts Goes from 1–4 → 20–40 contracts Executes like a slinger, not a holder This is why account snowballs. --- 4. He cuts losers quietly Look carefully: Many cancelled orders. No screenshots of massive losses. (WSB rarely brags about losses.) Which implies: He cuts losers quickly Rolls forward immediately Always re-deploys --- 5. Risk behaviour: extremely aggressive He regularly: Goes deep OTM Uses short expiries Enters impulsively This strategy works ONLY when: ✅ volatility explodes ✅ direction is right ✅ position size is maxed ❌ One wrong week → wiped out This is not stable trading. This is: > Professional-grade gambling with technical skill. --- The BIG LIE in the screenshot "Yes it's possible, just gotta be lucky" No. This is not luck. This is: High directional conviction High risk appetite Correct volatility timing Aggressive sizing Discipline to exit on spikes But: ❗ It is INSANELY NON-REPEATABLE ❗ Survivorship bias is enormous ❗ You are seeing a winner, not the cemetery. --- The REAL lesson for you Do NOT copy this literally. Instead copy: ✅ What to steal Trade volatility, not hope Enter near breakdown points Exit quickly on profits Don’t wait for perfection Re-deploy capital aggressively Accept losing trades without emotion --- ❌ What NOT to copy Bet-sizing behaviour YOLO frequency Emotional attachment Casino-style doubling --- What’s the dark truth? For every trader like him… There are 500 invisible blow-ups. Reddit posts show the survivor. Not the graveyard. --- How YOU actually apply this safely Want to use these ideas and not destroy your account? Here’s the sane version: Safer version of his strategy: 1. Trade breakdowns on: SPY QQQ high beta stocks (TSLA, NVDA) 2. Only bet: 5–10% of account per trade 3. Exit policy: +30% → partial +60% → trail -30% → exit 4. NEVER bet account balance. --- Final brutal truth (said with respect) This guy didn’t create a system. He: > rode a volatility storm with jet fuel. It worked. It often doesn't. --- I’ll leave you with a powerful upgrade path If you want: I can help you build: ✅ a legal version of this strategy ✅ with controls ✅ with repeatability ✅ with survivability Not a screenshot fantasy. A trading method.
So many homeless people in Seattle, not like blew it on 0dte homeless like fent zombie homeless. Makes me sad like damn that was someones little boy or girl what happened. Anyway tomorrow I'm buying GDX and GLD longs
if they're scared, they could at least do short term treasury fund USFR/BIL 85%, sprinkle in 5% GLD and 10% VT. No fancy words, if they don't understand, it'll freak them out. Short term treasuries backed by the united states government, Gold spot price, and a global equity fund that owns basically every business in the entire globe.
