Please don’t, I lost close 20k on GLD after a correction in 2020 and the pain is still in my feels
I haven’t heard a GLD mention in weeks
Yup and my puts printed hard, easiest money I've made this week next to SLV and GLD calls
Got hella lucky on some GLD options before it went off. Then linked my Robinhood to the app autopilot and used the WW3 portfolio that buys/ sells defense stocks. Then we went to Venezuela and did whatever over there. Good news, it’s just beginning. May be a good time to get in before actual WW3 takes off.
Never sell covered calls on metals. They only go up 200% every day with no pullbacks. Haven't regretted a covered call on something this bad since last year with GLD. $900 gain on SLV unrealized right now...sold a 66.5 call expiring Friday. Roasted and toasted. Womp womp
You use something like [https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/) to help construct a portfolio that will grow faster than the market while being less volatile. Something like 36%/36%/24% VGT/GLD/VYMI works super well. Add 4% high volatility shit like crypto ETFs or SLV to juice the results.
Depends on the angle you want to play GLD/SLV would skyrocket Defense companies (look at LMT/RTX) Mining/material companies like UAMY/LAC
Euros gonna close all US bases in Europe over this Greenland thing. Rammstein fuckong done. Biy GLD.
Missed out on SNDK, but I'm riding MU until the rally cools. Thanks to SLV and GLD too.
That's really cool I didn't know that. I have Apr 26 450 GLD calls.
So you care when China does it and not 'Murica? Fuckong hypocrite. Buy GLD.
Lets just ignore the fact that the people want nothing to do with 'Murica, there are no Chinese ships and 'Murica already has an AFB there with free reign. It is a land grab... taken right from 1933. Buy GLD.
Mruica... youre just a disgusting country. Leave Greenland alone. Meanwhile... buy GLD for the fallout.
Everyone knows, if I buy GLD now it will TANK! So, who wants to pay me not to do it?
i have been playing GLD for a while, trust me nothing's safe
Because whenever gold futures are held that far below the spot price during the US market hours, a pop in gold futures price almost always occurs overnight, affecting the price of GLD.
Hyper Inflation coming, GLD is the way.
Oil is under 60. Conditions have never been as good in terms of mineral price related to capex in previous bull runs in which miners still outperformed 2-3X the metal. But you can get some GLD calls if you want. You'll miss a lot of upside.
GLD is up 69% on the year (giggedy)
Buy GLD calls for tomorrow.
So SLV hits ATHs but GLD doesn’t feel like it okie dokie
If GLD ever goes to $400 again plz buy it
Hold for the GLD crater. Bought some this morning.
2025: GLD and SLV 2026: mother fucking RAM
GLD, or gold. Idk man this global unrest is gonna do something and I think USD is going to weaken like crazy, people are dumping money into gold. I've made like 25k off of just rolling calls over and over again
Just look at GDX/GLD ratio. Miners are still way undervalued and will post the highest margins of all industries in Q4 and Q1 earnings.
I'm a GLD kinda person but I'm happy silver rose Congrats to all those who held or entered into new positions during that orchestrated dip $100 here we come
Already up $5300, thank you GLD & SLV 🙏🏻
Made so much money off UNH 280cs(50k ish entry) bought early august, sold around late august. GLD 373-400cs (40k entry) bought oct 21 (was down quite a bit for quite a while) sold 12/16 they were 1/16/26 exp each of them. Decent year, still a fucking idiot though lol.
Need one more good day for SLV and GLD.
trading GLD and SLV is poosay. commit to AGQ or UGL. or be a real bad bitch and step up to SHNY
At this point if we saw GLD pull a silver and move 15% the next week nothing surprises me anymore
I like long dated ITM calls. I like to find high momentum stocks that I can use ITM calls to get some leverage on the move. I try to close the positions 4-6 weeks before the strike and if its a stock I want to keep, I use the proceeds to buy the stock. I want to spend less time watching my portfolio and more time looking where I want to be 3-6-9 months from now. I was up 42% last year but that was a lot of GLD, SLV, and GOOGL so I am not saying I am smart. Just lucky :)
Just a simple regard holding GLD/SLV calls overnight cmon 🍑 do something
GLD and SLV have a 28% long term capital gains tax
Sure, but the trick is when to enter back into the market. Gotta time it just right. Me? I’m staying in, and enjoying my GLD valuations.
Got a feeling GLD is about to pump or dump
Thinking GLD goes right back to it's 12/26 close in a day or two.
Just a normal day with GLD going up $10.
Sols all my GLD and SLV calls for roughly 1.5k. It's not much, but I've learned my lesson on being greedy. I think it's about 25% profit?
2026 guaranteed juice your tits off or your money back: GLD leaps SLV leaps Rheinmetall.
Wow, I didn’t expect my GLD 407c lotto to have a fighting chance
mfs agonizing over intra-day movements, im over here chillin wit SLV, GLD, COPX, and PLTM
Should have picked up more GLD when it went under $400.
As usual, GLD puts at open, calls at close
I just need GLD to $410 today pls.
GLD continues its rage bait campaign against me
GLD and SLV now pricing the complete collapse of USD as a global currency.
Have a GLD call and a spy call. Atleast i am winning on one.
Yes and what if the world is a different (better) place in 2030? Are you gonna sell your gold at $2k/oz? When it comes to tactical assets, hedges, etc. you need to buy when there’s low demand to get the desired effect. Piling into gold now is idiotic for an individual investor. I’d much rather buy long term U.S. treasuries as a hedge against geopolitical and economic risks. People don’t want to right now because A) inflation has been sticky and B) US hegemony is in question and political instability in the country is relatively high. But again, you buy the asset that has lower demand. Not the one with sky high demand. U.S. political stability, and the view of its trajectory will likely improve, and AI should be highly disinflationary. Increased productivity with increased unemployment is the most disinflationary economic situation you can possibly have. And long term rates are high right now, relative to the last 20 years. If the U.S. goes into recession, 30 year rates will drop below 3% and you’ll get a fantastic return. I don’t think investors will be eager to top tick GLD when the economy is cratering. They’ll clip their 3% with imbedded downside protection and be happy they aren’t losing a ton in stocks.
GLD will have an NBA Jam on fire multi flip dunk
GLD- not the metal itself
Let's see if this GLD and SLV pump will last untili can sell in the am.
GLD up 1.5%, can I get another .7% by 9am please :-)
Decreasing the amount of AMD and NVIDIA I'm holding in anticipation of supply chain disruptions in the immediate future. Purchase SLS in anticipation of the 80th event causing another pump. Move remaining non-funny money funds into GLD and waiting to see how the market/world reacts
GLD SLV in theory should continue to rip with more and more central banks will continue to divest from dollar but who knows
What’s GLD gonna look like tomorrow?
i'm actually banking on people overreacting to the market to unload my GLD and SLV calls. I think those might spike a bit monday and then come come down due to people (like me) trying to lock in profits. I'll find another entry point again in the future.
GLD calls. Trump needs to decorate the new USA palace located in Venezuela
Truly horrible ETF. Why would anyone choose that over GLD?
GLDM has a lower expense ratio than GLD if you’re gonna hold gold for a significant amount of time.
SPY, AGG, GLD, and CDs.
you don't tell her...If your serious you would put that 21k in GLD and hold for seevral years
SLV and GLD go up because of uncertainty.
Why are we expecting most stocks to moon on Monday after the Venezuela attack? Shouldn’t it be just the “safe havens” like GLD and precious metals?
Wh his everyone saying that GLD and SLV are going to hit ATH Monday? I understand it's because of the Venezuela "war", but what about it is going to make precious metals go up? Disclaimer, I hold multiple gld and slv calls. Just want to educate myself.
This might save GLD and SLV retail investors who bought at the top, but not USD in the long run.
the ONLY play you should be debating is a safe haven commodity like GLD, SLV and EVEN buttcorn. The key words from DJT was “if needed we will hit them with a second bigger strike” this ain’t over, i ain’t buying Chevron just yet
Most Canadian banks will let you buy (most) US ETFs. I own GLD, AVDV, AVUV and more in a USD account with Royal Bank Investing. There are also often Canadian versions of standard indices. E.g. CA:VFV is a vanguard S&P 500 fund.
Most brokers have a "paper" account, which will track how it goes, but won't use real money. I'm not actually sure how they deal with bid/ask spreads, which often get larger for options. The basic ideas, all options have an expiry date, the latest date which they can be exercised, a price, and an underlying security. 1) a call is the option to buy at a fixed price (you want the underlying price to go up) 2) a put is the option to sell at a fixed price (you want the underlying price to go down) You can both buy and sell options. When you sell, you are selling the *commitment* rather than the option to buy/sell. It's riskier. In general, the price of an option is set by two things -- the difference between the strike price and the current real price, and the expected volatility, which increases the further out the option expires (so it will cost most to but a TSLA call for $450 in June than in March), but also depends on underlying security -- some are more volatile than others, so more a of a volatility premium is added to the cost of an option. Generally, when you buy an option, you are paying that volatility premium (since you have the choice to exercise), and when you sell one, you are being paid for it. When you buy an option (put or call) your losses are limited to how much you paid for the option -- it can become worthless, but that's the most you can lose. Both generally have higher potential upsides. When you sell an option, you losses can get quite large. When you sell a put, you commit to buying at a certain price. So if the stock drops far below that price, you can end up overpaying by a lot. If you sell a call, you are committing to sell at a certain price. If you own the stock, it's called a "covered" call, and you downside is limited, but you'll be out the stock. Your upside is limited essentially to the premium you got selling the option. If you don't own the stock, it's called a "naked" call, and you can have a very large downside indeed. Most brokerages won't let you sell naked calls unless you have a lot of money and experience with options already. In practice, I personally use options for two reasons. One, less so, the classic reason is to hedge. I have a fairly large GLD position, for example, and so have bought puts at about 20% below the current price, 6 months out. This is like buying insurance. If GLD drops more than 20%, I can still sell most of mine at the -20% price, so I'm limiting my downside, but I'm paying the option premium for that. The other reason can be to buy ETFs that you want to buy, but can't, e.g. with a European residency. You sell a put, and pocket the premium, and when the option expires if the price is right, you are "assigned" (you buy) the ETF/stock. Finally, it can be a way to get exposure to security without investing as much money, but typically you're better of just buying the stock. But maybe you don't want to buy RKLB directly -- you can buy a call a few months out and slightly above the current price. If the price drops, you're just out the price of the option, if it goes up, you can either sell the option for profit (called "selling to close") or let the option be assigned (you buy the stock). You will have paid the volatility premium, but have traded a small fixed cost for reduced maximum downside. If you get it into it, start small, and start with a paper account, and recognize you probably don't need to.
And I was making fun of this one guy telling everyone to dump SLV and GLD (temporarily for a pullback) and that Oil was about to take off. I have been buying and selling CVX like crazy for months as it was a long-term investment for me and was really easy to time selling for a few quick bucks. So of course like a dumbass I offloaded it at the wrong time lol. I'm still not sure this changes much in the short-term, but oil stocks are always about thinking long anyway.
No, Ive had some decent gains since. Sure I wouldve made more gains on GLD but I’m not risking going all in on one ETF.
corn and GLD will rip monday regards
you can all buy chevron if you want monday but i’ll be buying GLD, no way this shit doesn’t go south real quick
i’m sticking with my calls on GLD and BTC, money ain’t gonna get any more scared than this✈️
Being true to my flair here but I think GLD SLV will continue to print. Investors will start pricing in instability
i feel like chevron will be too obvious for a play on Monday, i’m playing GLD and BTC, scared money gonna make me money
American-led regime change in South America is *so* 1970s Calls on GLD
GLD/SLV hitting new ATH Monday
Brother what you on? You want to recover losses and you buy OTM options on ETH based on some Fib level..?? My poor brother, you are in for a rude awakening in 2026. Cut them losses, but the remaining money in SPY/QQQ/GLD/TLT/IBIT/EFA and pray for another couple of great years in the stock market. And keep adding in those every month when you receive your pay check. And do not touch an option until you have banned technical analysis from your vocabulary and understand the importance of realized and implied volatility.
Ooo I see what you lost on. Let me tell you I legit bought the day b4 it ran to $7 and was up so fat and also proceeded to just hold and ended up taking the loss sub$1 ish. Super annoying. Also b4 that fake meat launch I had GLD calls that I sold for $700 profit that later was a 10bagger. So sold to early on GLD and never sold the top on fake meat. Then i proceeded to lose more on tesla weeklies. My end of year trading sucked. But look at this you still got 20k. Just be patient and run it back up.
GLTR or GLD. Hopefully they’re not at the peak, but this is exactly why they’re so high.
Literally just SPY, MSFT, B, and GLD. B & GLD were up solidly in premarket and shat themselves at open. Same with SPY & MSFT. The later was nearly back to 490 in premarket and then decided it wanted a -2.5% day for some reason. Fucking murdered my April500C
Fomoed at close and bought SLV GLD and SPY calls that expire Wednesday am I cooked 😬
SPY SLV or GLD calls for the weekend ? 😈
I think we have a reason to celebrate. 10YR yield is rising. SPY down (although insignificantly), Buffet selling, major Tech is kinda down too. GLD retracing back. Not a bad first day of trading. We want more.
