I’ve married the good ones. You can marry great companies and GLD

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more gains posting for GLD and SLV. Probably when these posts start hitting the front page you actually want to hedge these positions.

I asked Santa for GLD to 400 end of year. Now how about winning that Powerball?

Red? Have you seen calls on GLD, all year long?Only worry i had was when to sell when it’s so high.

My plans for swing trading next year: Stack up on MU calls every time it pulls to 50MA on the daily (and 21ema if it doesn't), GLD calls during base breakouts and RKLB/ASTS calls during dips (10-20%). I've back tested this approach for a whole 6 months this year and it seems to be good.

Had 2k in my bank, deposit it into Robinhood, wake up today to see I’m in a deficit of 2k and they’ve sold the GLD shares I had at $377 avg to recoup the money, also giving me a PDT flag. Why? Apple Music took $10 and my bank won’t let me go negative by $10 despite me showing up with cash to their ATM’s every week.

>If the currency continues to depreciate relative to gold, this impact will eventually be transmitted to other commodities such as industrial metals, and then enter the economic supply chain. Are you just writing this without checking the industrial metals market? See XME is 90% YTD while GLD is 70% YTD !

If you want free money, Just buy SLV futures when it drops 4-5% next time and sell it as soon as it rebound 1-2%. Apply the same approach to GLD after a 2% decline. It works every time

I'm not an expert on this but my AI is theorizing that the markets are operating for a slow decline and not a sudden crash.  "Your tool is actually showing something useful and non-doom: The market is more worried about slow regime drift than a single shock.  That aligns with: gold accumulation, long volatility, convexity demand, distrust of long-term stability.  That’s boring, persistent risk — not a countdown"  I bought a call for SLV when it was at a historical high, and it's up 80% since then. I bought GLD at historic highs too and it's up 28%.

**Twas the night before Christmas, when all my stocks were risin'** **Not a creature was stirring, not even a ghey ber;** The shorts were all hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that JPow would soon raise rates like he even cares; When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, My SLV and GLD was all that matters. Away to the window I flew like a flash, When I saw your mother with her new boyfriend a suckin' I heard him exclaim, as he came in her eye, HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL EAT MY A$$!!

Hi, great observations and questions! Yes, LEAPS Calls just outside 1-year. And yes, I take profit by rolling them UP in the same expiration, resetting them back to 80-delta. That cash can then be put back into more LEAPS Calls. But what I generally do with it is *buy Calls just 100-120DTE*, but still at 80-delta. That's riskier, of course, but it gives more leverage. And it's "house money," so if I lose some of it it's not a huge deal. And when the LEAPS Calls approach 365DTE I'll use some of their excess Delta to roll them OUT to the next expiration. Thus I always keep my LEAPS Calls >1y. And I do the same for the 100-120DTE Calls, always keeping them >100 days. Then whenever I have new cash from the outside (not internal profits, but deposits), it goes into LEAPS Calls. Dry powder: no, but that would definitely have been nice after Liberation (from your money) Day. I stay fully invested, because I'm trying to keep every dollar at work. And yes, that's riskier than holding shares. But I think I mitigate that to a large extent by: 1) Using ETFs vs. individual companies ("single issue" risk). 2) By monitoring daily. You don't have to watch daily--weekly would be enough--but I can't help myself, and I love the markets anyway. So I'm always making those little rolls to take out profit, etc. Another 2008 recession event: I'll ask you to read through my reply above again. It took *9 months* for the S&P to lose the first 20%. Nine MONTHS. Not long ago I said to someone I email with about this stuff that if we kept our heads down, monitored our positions, took them off when they flattened out, and screened for new ETFs to replace them, never looking at SPY or the Naz or Dow, we might not even know there *was* a bear market building in. Because the thing is, something is ALWAYS going up. I can't prove that, but I feel it in my bones. Take the SPDR sector ETFs like gold, technology, financials, industrials, T-bills, healthcare, developed world ex-US, communications, energy, emerging markets, consumer staples, utilities. Some of those you'll recognize as 'defensive' sectors, so they'll probably hold or go up a little. And I already showed in my post above what gold did during 2008. PLUS there's the inverse-index funds (not the leveraged ones, just inverse, -1) like SH, PSQ, SPDN, RWM, & DOG. When I sort by past 3-month performance (or 1-month, if I sense it's happening), those will start trickling to the top of the list. So I can buy them and be short the market, making money on the way down. As for doubling, the S&P has done 16-17% CAGR over the past 5 years. The Rule of 72 says we can divide 16% into 72 and that'll tell us how long to double: 4.5 years. Sounds like you like Nvidia: add in names like that and if you do well maybe you're doubling in 3 years? Now take my XBI example from above: 55% in 2 months = 27% per month. Divide that into 72 and see what you get. It's too stupid for me to even name, and I'm not claiming that. But to give you an idea of the power of LEAPS Calls at 80-delta, plus the 100-120DTE 80-delta Calls I buy with profits, I did [this in 3 months](https://imgur.com/a/schwab-account-statement-11oct25-BLwTnhq) this year, almost exclusively trading GLD. No new money, just aggressively plowing profits into 100-day Calls. And granted, that's not all LEAPS Calls, but to me it proved the viability of the strategy. Take care, Mike

SLV and GLD, SLV and GLD Means so much more when I see, SLV and GLD ETFs do a big old Xmas V.

SuperbSandwich

Hey GLD? Good shit

vermilli21

Starting to see more of those guys spinning their cardboard "WE BUY GLD" - Is that bullish or bearish?

Xzlk

Pretty much everyday the last 2 weeks, I’ve looked at my GLD holdings and thought wow I should sell this and take the profit, and everyday I don’t for some reason. And everyday I check it and it’s higher.

Fhyzikz

In theory, wouldn't GLD and SLV going up be terrible for tech and semi stocks due to the increased cost of materials?

GreedyTexas

The one time I buy GLD calls it craters

Doesn't look like GLD will go 425 eow :(

GLD pls, another 2% day

Fineous40

GLD this is not very chrismasy of you

GreedyTexas

Too late for GLD calls?

JJdante

I'm kind of in a similar path, on a smaller scale. I took a massive drawdown (for me) with credit spreads and got wrecked on liberation day. Since then I'm back and a bit more with leaps and GLD. Why 3-6 months and not further out? What delta are you buying at, and do you have any criteria for what your picking vs leaving? For example. you mention space, are you going in on RKLB vs passing on PL. What you're doing seems to work for you so I appreciate any time you got explaining your process. Thanks

Confident_Bee1447

So like when GLD dropped in October and then carried on climbing?

Fhyzikz

I had a GLD put yesterday that I sold for a profit but I would honestly wait until after New Years. The sells won't start hitting the tape until then (when hedgies come back from vacation)

I’d rather buy GLD leaps rn

aleksdude

Those are 3 American stocks I’m considering investing in. I’ve traded them short term but they have great long term prospects. GLXY and NBiS have been talked about amongst the investing community too. I am investing in GLD and SLV this 2026. Will adjust accordingly as both are at all time highs. Thanks for sharing

therpgrad

In the interest of disclosure, I have large positions in SLV, GLD, UGL, GDX, and GDXU. I've become increasingly wary of the risks associated with exchange-traded notes (ETNs), so I'll be locking in my profits on GDXU and switching to GDX LEAPS once the new year hits. I additionally have large amounts of GLD and SLV LEAPS. I semi-annually rotate my profits out of the riskier plays into GLD, VOO, and BRK.A.

Is it stupid to buy GLD and SLV options

nvidia69420

me spy calls expired worthless today, so it will def moon tomorrow! maybe time for SLV or GLD calls ?🧐

TheCriticalTaco

What do you use to see the price of options that far back? I'm using ThinkorSwim but for some reason its not showing me the option contracts price before November this year. \`.GLD260102C300\` right?

TheInkDon1

Hi, those are common worries, and they're definitely worth thinking about and planning for. Are the returns worth the risk? I absolutely think so. For instance, I first got into SLV on 12/8, and one of the Calls I bought was the Jan'27 42C for 13.73. Today that Call is worth 24.70. That's an **80% gain in 15 days.** Silver shares didn't go up nearly that much. **XBI**: on 10/22 I bought the Dec'26 91C for 25.19. Today it's worth 39.15. **55% in 2 months**. How do you defend shares now? Or do you? I've never been a Buy and Holder, because to me those years waiting for a stock to recover are just dead money. I used to do shares, and Mutual Funds, and ETF shares, but I always had a 10% trailing stop on them. If something went down 10% from its high, I was automatically out. Then I looked for something else. Similar with LEAPS Calls, but don't do any kind of stop-loss on them, because you'll get shaken out. Instead, I watch their charts. Weekly would be enough, but I'm looking every day because I love the market anyway. So if one is starting to flatten out, or maybe even rolling over, it's time to get out. And/or you can set a *mental* stop-loss. A convenient one might be 50%. Because LEAPS Calls at 80-delta cost so much less than shares, a 50% on a Call is typically 10-15% of spot. So you see, it's similar to losing 10% on a stock position. You can even work it out mathematically: take 10% of spot, subtract that from what you paid for the Call, and that's your stop-loss number. And you posited a 20% pullback. How long do those take to play out? In the 2008 Financial Crisis, the S&P fell by 57% from October 2027 until March 2009. That's a full 17 months. It took from 12Oct07 until 11Jul08 for it to drop 20%. *That's 9 months.* Plenty of time in my frame of reference to exit losing positions. Oh, and there's another thing to consider: What do gold and silver do during market corrections? Here's the answer for that one at least: [GLD & SLV vs SPY in the 2008 crash](https://imgur.com/a/HBjkGLJ) Gold fared a good bit better than silver, and you can see that it was mostly negatively-correlated with the market. Silver not so much, but it still fared better. And one last thing: something is ALWAYS going up. The way I screen for ETFs, I'm confident I'll find them. Even if it's just the inverse-index ETFs. Sorry, a lot of words, but I wanted to lay out my full thought process for you. Take care.

aleksdude

Nbis 200 shares @ $88 Asts 200 shares @ 70 Rklb 200 shares @ 56 Fbtc 900 shares @ 96 Fbtc I held for about a year with regards to crypto 4 year cycle. That worked out for me. I could have made more money since fbtc peaked at 110, but I set myself a ceiling I would be satisfied to reach. Nbis, asts, and Rklb were all short term holds of 2-4 weeks. Didn’t make much but was happy just to participate since I know very little about the stocks. Thanks for sharing. People always love to say how they held and are big time winners. But like you said. Peace of mind as well as taking some profits is fine. People always think they have a crystal ball into the future. 2026 I’ll be a bag holder of SLV and GLD. Hoping it will at least outperform S&P500

Need the media to get on the GLD SLV bubble train so I can get my AI pump on.

orsomeshitidk

Boomers live in fear but that actually paid off for me because my aging parents called me asking to move some of their money into GLD back in April. I thought man it’s already been riding pretty hot already but fuck it, I’ll put some in too. The first time in like a two decades I’ve been surprised by my parents lol

orsomeshitidk

The stacking subs have such a weird vibe. I bought a bunch of GLD in April and still honestly believe Gold has quite a ways to go, but there’s something off putting about those subs.

$GLD $SLV and chill

MiggsJr

Why do I not see everyone talking about $SLV $GLD and $PPLT. These mofos are going parabolic. Like the calls are quite literally free money up like 2000% in a month. Fuck everything else. Gold silver and platinum are quite literally the top three assets in the world in price momentum. Silver isn’t even inflation adjusted highs yet. LOCK IN

Gotta build a "golden fleet" out of something... GLD 🚀

Sick0h

We’re not quite to obvious SLV put level yet, but we’re getting there. Check the 10/20 what are your moves tomorrow thread, every other comment was GLD GLD. Then it had its worst day in history. Anticipate month out SLV atm puts print bigly at some point in that time frame.

underground_14_91

Exactly, I understand GLD as a hedge and would even be advocate for it, before I had a couple conversations with the kind of people I’m talking about and most of the people buying now, haven’t experienced that bear market yet. I realized, these are the same “speculative” people that flock to stocks when they’ve already gone up 100% in a week. It’s the same thing, just now in the “safe” asset. If you bring up gold’s CAGR all-time which factors in those decade long bear markets, they’ll tune you out, they conveniently only care about the last 25 yrs. I really don’t think most of the people that invest in gold today are hedging anything, they are speculating that the price will continue to rise, and it disgusts me, but hey what do I know, if I was all in on GLD, I’d be sitting pretty, but I’m not, so I’m not. I can’t be convinced to buy gold until it tanks into oblivion and then stays flat for another 5-10 yrs. I’ll consider it then

Would be cool if GLD did a 6% by eow

Thanks for GLD and SLV calls, got a last minute pump. Thanks to mango gold will do another %50 this year kek

GLD should do a funny and go to 435 EOW

underground_14_91

Thank you for not drooling over shiny rocks, I can’t wait to see all the posts that people were full porting GLD calls as it’s collapsing, thinking something with a CAGR of 2.5% over the last thousand years, can moonshot 60-100% in a yr and keep going. When I saw the photos of people physically lining up to buy physical gold, I knew something fishy was going on. They’re about to tank this precious metal crap and I plan on buying puts on the way down.

I sold SLV, i made a great profit but missed out in the last 10% which seems crazy. GLD has some room. I think if AI crashes, silver does also. Gold I think will still be the preferred safe haven.

You don't. Unless you have decades of experience, a math degree, multiple data centers of compute, and billions of dollars or luck, you cannot reliably outperform the market adjusted for risk. Just DCA VOO, VXUS, and maybe VT and GLD and save yourself the stress and waste of time.
