RIP to the micro bear that bought 1dte GLD puts.
JPow is doing the GLD earnings call on Wednesday.
GLD hasn't peaked yet. Scam Altman will announce a trillion dollar AI deal with GLD.
Always buy Puts on Friday and Calls on GLD/SLV.
Sold my itm SLV calls thurs and GLD calls fri 😭
Can you regards buy more GLD and SLV calls so my puts will print? Thank you
I threw a thousand on some cheap GLD calls and they are already ITM
If GLD could hit 500 this week I'd be so happy
i am grateful to wsb for turning me on to SLV and GLD and their historical importance in this moment. but then i look at the s&p 500, and the dxy, and the devastation that's happening, and it doesn't feel much like a win. it's just humbling.
Should I sell my SLV and GLD options expiring end of march and may ? Or let them run more
Checks trading port full of GLD and SLV: *I am Zeus, bow down before me* *checks boomer port* meow
Was doing rather well scalping since xmas. Had a handsome buy position at $74 which I sold at $79 and began shorting earlier in January. Stop lossed the next morning and resumed short at $84 with multiple double downs as the price kept rising. Realised a significant loss at $92 and resumed scalping. Every winning position kept triggering stop loss. My final reasonable buy was at $92 last week which triggered stop loss and I began shorting at $95 only to watch it climb past $100 with minimal resistance. 40 minutes ago I switched sides again and realised another 12k loss. And I haven’t even mentioned my GLD accomplishments. Don’t be like me. Buy and hold. Set and forget. Avoid leverage.
My only regret is that i didnt buy more GLD and SLV.
I'm holding leaps in GLD, GDX, SLV, TSLA, GOOG, HOOD...and unfortunately IBIT. My cash percentage is probably too high. META does look undervalued, but I don't have high conviction, so I just nibble on the stock on red days.
On good shows that GLD hit 470 on the first candle lel
Wish held SLV GLD calls my god
im creaming myself to GLD calls
Sell 10-20%. Buy GLD options. Lose everything.
I’m 60 / 40 and thought the same but the pullback won’t affect GLD like SLV. Safer….., I think.
f-it, time to buy GLD and SLV puts as a hedge for physical holdings.
I am full port shiny, 60/40 GLD SLV split, already up 10%. Serious question: Do I just delete my trading app and have the year off? Sounds like heaven tbh.
Sell 10-20%. Buy GLD options. Rotate 10x profits back to BTC in a year
GLD and SLV to be added to S&P on April 1.
I mean, which stock for GLD or SLV, any particular mutual fund?
GLD baby. $500+ inbound
I got in SLV at 50 and GLD at 350. Probably the best financial decision I've ever made. Dow and Nasdaq are flat or falling, but precious metals up week after week.
GLD bull also not hoping but obv will do well with war
I've been holding GLD instead it's been working out real good
I used to do Monthlies myself, last year on GLD when it had its big run. Always 80-delta or higher, but still let gold go down for just a day or three and those short-term Calls get hit really hard. So I'd made a rule for myself, strictly based on that experience, to never go less than 3 months. Then someone on this sub, in a different sort of conversation, said 100-120DTE is a sweet spot. So I adopted that. I'll go ahead and answer u/Any-Huckleberry2593 here so you'll be sure to see it. Theta is indeed a thing to consider. But **theta per day** is probably the more relevant metric. On SLV for example: The 33DTE 80-delta 82.5C is selling for 14.33 and has an Extrinsic (time) value of 2.39. Divide that by 33 to get 0.07. That option will lose 7 cents every day. Which is really $7 on the $1,433 position. Almost 0.5% per day. 3.4% per calendar week. Meanwhile, the 508DTE 74C at 80-delta sells for 31.40, with 10.97 of that being Extrinsic value. "Wow, that's almost 8 times more than the other one!" It is, but what's the theta-per day? 10.57 / 508 = 0.2 2 cents/dollars per day The Monthly was 7 cents. Divide: 7 / 2 = 3.5 Which means you're paying **3.5 times more** ***per day*** **in theta** for the shorter Call than the longer one. It's kind of like buying one Slim Jim at the convenience store vs. buying a box of 50 of them at Costco.
I sold my $JNUG calls to move into $GLD calls I'm so dumb
ALL-IN on GLD calls. I am going to be VERY happy tomorrow morning
$XME and $GLD -> raw material $VST, $VRT, $RYCEY -> energy, AI Infra Copper production needs to increase rapidly, so I'm considering a position in a copper trust. But I think genuinely playing ETFs is the tax advantaged move here. Commodities are tough as well, I trust the funds know them better than I do.
"It's digital gold!" "But mr bitcoin bro, I can get digital gold by buying GLD"
Exactly. These are what I call catalysts. Also geopolitics threatening neighbors… And until they are resolved, I’m more and more in PSLV and PHYS. They have better tax rates than GLDM/GLD and SLV, and for the cost of a higher expense ratio drag. Use that info for your own gain.
I thought I made some money with my GLD calls and MU stock last week. Crying while sitting on paper money hill right now
Watch GLD and SLV skyrocket.
Someone tell me GLD will be 500 at open
If you're buying SLV or GLD purchase physical. If there is a COMEX run you'll miss out. Plus you can roll around in it like a poor man's Scrooge McDuck.
Selling calls against GLD is a waste. Either hold or take profit.
If gold futes open above 5000, the easiest money move of your lifetime is to buy GLD calls at open
Probably should have held those SLV calls over the weekend but winning because SLV and GLD are increasing is also losing because shit is getting worse. Puts are different because it's a bet to the downside, not to zero like so many of you retards seem to think. GLD and SLV skyrocketing means the endgame for democracy and capitalism is nigh
Unfortunately, not the same. GLD is the commodity and GDX are companies that mine the commodity
You are holding a call option that is moving like 100 shares of stock. GLD volatility has skyrocket and one way to take advantage of volatility and capture profits is by selling a shorter term call against your long call (diagonal spread). For example, you can sell a MAR 20 2026 500 call (25 delta) for a credit of 7.50 ($750). This will reduce your original cost basis of 29.16 by 7.50. Your position delta will be 75 so you will still benefit if GLD continues to go up. If GLD retraces before March, you can even lower this strike for an additional credit (ex. Roll down from 500 to 480). Each credit you receive will lower your cost basis. If GLD is below 500 by Mar, the option will expire worthless and you can sell to open the April and so on and so forth. If it gets to 490 before Mar, you can roll the strike up and further out for another credit. You can do this every month if that is your desire to capture volatility and time decay while reducing your delta by about 25% which means you have 25% protection to the downside.
Is that the same for GDX? I switched from GLD to GDX bc lower price means I can trade more contracts.
You know when Gold hits 5k GLD won't be 500 right?
While the bid/ask might be wide, I wouldn't worry about selling the call under intrinsic. The spread would be a poor indication of GLD liquidity. There is plenty of interest in buying GLD at $280 and not having to come up with $28,000 until January (plus some downside protection). You'll easily get a premium for that, it will show up in the 280 puts, or you can calc the time value of $28k. If you take delivery @ expiration, your cost basis will be $309.16, no tax is due until you liquidate. If you insist on taking delivery early, sell the 280P and capture the $50-$100 in premium. This is exactly the same trade at early delivery, just more money for you. If you've kind of boxed yourself into a trade you can't handle due to the size, you can look into selling calls against it. Note that this might trigger straddle or constructive sale rules and there may be tax implications.
The pump on GLD is, unironically, now paying for their war
GLD is an etf wrapper around a grantor trust. Grantor trust that own a single commodity are treated tax wise as if you own that commodity directly. Those expenses on the GLD fund? You can’t deduct those expenses, but you can add them to your cost basis. In other words you can think of the fund expenses for GLD as a fee you’re paying them to store your gold
GLD contracts are section 1256 contracts. 60% of their gains are taxed at the long-term rate regardless of holding. Shares of GLD itself are treated differently, and more like you described. However, the taxes is not 28% but rather up to 28%. It’s only if you’re in the 28% tax bracket or higher that you would be taxed at gold maximum rate.
I've got a ban bet for GLD at 480 by the end of this week. Probably won't make it, I figured there'd be at least one war started over the weekend, in addition to some ICE murder. Oh well, there's still time for 🥭 to push the funny Ayatollah button.
GLD is not a collectible, it’s a security.
You should sell some calls against that to harvest the high IV on GLD right now. You can't predict the future, your thesis has played out so your reason to be in the trade has materialized. I would sell the position since now you don't really have a reason to be in it and pay the tax. But barring that if you sell some calls against it you can atleast generate some income to offset your theta losses and harvest the IV.
JPOW doing GLD earnings on Wednesday is gonna be lit.
The issue is none of those ETFs are actual elemental copper the way IAU/GLD or SLV are for their related metals.
Reading on X all the crypto influencers who have been saying Gold will crash because bitcoin will be the future of money makes me feel way better about my GLD position
so glad I closed my position in Meta on friday, could feel in my gut that some stupid shit was going to go down this weekend as long as 🥭 is in office it doesn’t make sense to go long on anything but GLD and defense stocks
Fuck my bad I’m just getting ready for GLD tmw
Trick is NOT to get out, but HARVEST gains and roll forward. I’ve been doing that since September. Sell 90% of big gains and roll into ITM calls 3-4 weeks out. pay the premium and wait. I started with SLV, SIL, SILJ equities. sold around doubles and bought options. E.G. - bought SLV 50 calls when SLV was 55. Paid around $8 for 3 weeks out. when they hit $20, I sold them (still $1 premium in them) and bought 55s around $11. When they hit $20, I bought 63s around 8.50. As it kept running, premiums went up and I started buying OTMs but tried to limit to $5-6/ contract. Recently sold my SLV 2/6/26 90s at $9 (paid $3 when SLV was 79. Rolled out of them to next. meanwhile I still own 2 55s, 63s, and 70s. Each now 5x gains. Started with $60k in August. Now approaching $200k, but never have more than $30k in calls. I still own SLV, PSLV, GLD, GDX and some individual companies going back to 2016. I long ago harvested my initial investment and let the remaining roll, but took $30k in September (when I sold SILJ AND SIL) to get aggressive with.
Once again my strategy of throwing all my spare cash onto GLD on Friday afternoon is looking pretty fine
gold is about to rocket, last chance to get on this rally, GLD calls and chill
Is it too retard to go full port LEAP on GLD and SLV?
Explain to me, a regard, why I should liquidate half of my normie ETFs for GLD next week
GLD, IAU, SGOL, GLTR, SLV, SLVR, PALL, etc are all physically backed
We have SILJ, SLV, PSLV for silver and GLD, GLDM, GDX and GDXJ for gold. Of which SILJ and GDXJ are volatile than others best suitable for trading.
GLD max pain on Friday was 427; we are in a *bigly* squeeze.
Last week you had two dads named Terry Gold, CEO of GLD. highly sus.
FOMO'd into GLD at 450 and never looking back lol
And you physical gold will be difficult to move and easily stolen…. Guns, ammo more important than power gold and physical gold if GLD cannot be transacted :-)
The question isn't *if* my GLD calls will be up on Monday, but by *how much*.
1 year from now: "remember how cheap precious metals were earlier this year? SLV only 100, GLD only 500 lmao"
Put a nice sized short with a May expiration on GLD wed. I was down 15% on Friday. I decided to buy AGQ (2x Lev on Silver) to hedge, by close I was break even. Lmao.
Now will you all stop buying puts on GLD and SLV and join the movement?
r/natureismetal is likely to be overrun with GLD and SLV gain porn posts.
Holding puts on GLD and SLV over the weekend. Someone please tell me I will be okay Monday
Make the case for BTC over (physical) GLD and SLV.
There are lots of options. GLD, UGL, IAU, BAR Not sure why you're looking to buy specifically Friday and sell Monday, but if that's your strategy then maybe pick up some weeklies on GLD
I mean if you looking for gold ETFs like GLD? :)
I can hear a GLD vs BND argument. I’ve actually myself shifted my short term reserves to GLD last year and got lucky to see it go +50%. Not sure i’d trust gold to beat bonds over the long tun but it’s an interesting question.
buying GLD on friday works really well too, it normally goes up over the weekend even if there isn’t bad news
Mango must have loaded calls on GLD a while ago... Doing everything he can to keep the bull run alive 👍 Anyway i'm riding it so fine by me 🤷
I already lost out on about 20k of gains. My GLD and SLV calls were up 30% and I sold. This was 2 weeks ago, before they all shot up. I bought back in yesterday morning.
There is an interview with mr trump and he literally says on camera he doesn't care about a strong dollar because it "doesn't make anyone money" Ive had all my shit in GLD since before the interview.
ELI-stupid please. :) Looking at the chart over any length of time compared to SLV for AGQ or GLD for UGL, it has outperformed the metal ETFs.
PLTM and PALL are interchangeable. Also what are the key drivers for them as compared to GLD and SLV beyond "precious metals"? Wanting to learn
They are 2X longs, I bet alot of people have them especially because of how bullish SLV and GLD are. But, its 2x loss, so more volatile. If the SLV impending crash kicks in, you can really bite the bullet.
Just found out about AGQ and UGL. Why not buy that instead of SLV and GLD? Can someone educate me?
SLV GLD PLTM PALL and big tech, IMO. I think I'm also going to start buying up REITs.
glad that bought that GLD call
!banbet GLD -8% 10d
Here we go ! Weekly tarrifs to pump SLV and GLD has joined third week of 2026.
More bullish news for GLD and SLV
I’m an investor, onto a trader. I dont know what the hell im doing, but 2 weeks ago i moved 1/2 of my Roth IRA into GLD.. I hope it was a good idea lol
