Short SPY Long GLD Prophet
Tonight on my cruise I feel like I have to put my entire gambling budget ($100) for tonight on green after GLD and SLV
Bought contracts at 70 cents last week which sold for $3 today. A highly regarded play. On GLD of all things. And I left runners.
International stocks have been outperforming domestic US for awhile now too. I’ve actually been outperforming the S&P since October cause I moved about half to either GLD, International or boring old value stocks. I kinda just want space from AI right now. I don’t trust any of the major AI players to keep putting up the kind of gains they’ve been putting up over the last two years. The whole market feels more skeptical then it used to be, and the fundamentals are built on quicksand. The party’s not necessarily over, but someone definitely turned the music down.
Miners are ok short term plays I guess. My point is spy was down. So defensive stocks, GLD, SLV, energy XLE, and healthcare XLV were the plays today.
If you bought GLD, SLV, or shorted MSTR, you were golden today.
I went too far OTM on SPY and the +300% on GLD calls saved my ass
Just get calls on GLD, XLE, and XLP and thank me later.
GLD, I knew you’d be back. You always come back.
My 3/6 GLD 500C are somewhat alive again.
Bulls on GLD, what’s it gonna take for it to hit 10k this year?
Due to my Nenarded thinking. I think $SLV will see $100 this week. $GLD at $500 eow
I moved from GLD LEAPS to a few gold miners (AU, AGI, AEM) instead, which have bounced back harder than GLD since the drop.
I knew gold was the play a couple of weeks ago, but I was too chicken shit to buy more GLD calls. Forever poor.
Anybody else holding GLD LEAPs from before the last pump cycle and wonder if they were gonna be a bagholder until today? Or was it just me?
Yay GLD and SLV leap monies
In all honesty? GLD $550c with early April xp date
Same with GLD, to a lesser extent. I buy; I don’t sell. So, it’s pretty much recovered now. It’ll pare down some of today’s gains tomorrow, but I don’t expect anything massive like that rugpull on Friday 2-6.
GLD once again, surpassed my SPY port. #GLD 500 TRAIN BACK ON THE MENU

Hell yeah dude. I ended up selling half my GLD calls today for 70% gain. Gonna let the rest ride. 475C 4/17 expiry
my GLD calls doing some heavy lifting today keeping my port +0.05%
Hahaha. Excellent. No blind following. Def do your research but strong work on the slv. Made a shit ton on GLD last week. Posted in comments last Tuesday. Currently on a roll but has to end sometime!
There pretty much sums it up. You need Euro, Yuan, and Yen if you are investing funds into physical economies in Asia or Europe. $EMLC chart looks very similar to the $GLD or gold chart BTW.
GLD will hit 700 before SPY at this rate
I invested in GLD and had $680 puts on SPY for today. I'm EATING!
There was a guy talking about GLD puts and MSFT calls in January I hope he's ok

GLD diverging from SPY good
It’ll be holding GLD till he leaves or dies, his consistent inconsistency is too strong
TLT and GLD pumping today are we seeing a huge flight to safety 🤔
If you had 60+ shares of AAPL and AMZN, and 38 shares of MSFT and GOOGL, would you cut ties with any of them and put the money towards GLD?
GLD is literally the thing holding my port together today. A little bounce in bonds. Getting ass-wrekt by BTC again.
My idea of “diversification” is buying all the shit recommended here. Good news tho: at least GLD is up today.
DXY/SLV/GLD not really screaming equity crash incoming. Bonds ripping a lil tho
Only thing reliable about the USA right now is its unreliabIlity. Buy GLD.

My cat is thrown off cause I couldn't sleep she thinks she gets fed in 15m even though I fed her earlier so now she's glued to me while I'm laying on the couch it's so cute. Anyways idk where I was going with that but calls on GLD.
Day 12 waiting for GLD to reach $700
🌽down Spy down GLD and SLV ripping. Basically everyone is liquidating to buy paper shares of shiny rocks. Literally fake and gay
I have GLD $475 calls expiring in April up 40% as of market close Friday, potentially more tomorrow morning, do I sell at market open or hold and see? Too many times I haven’t cashed in on profit early on something that ends up crashing and I’m anxious 🫠
Looks like GLD is hitting 550 this week with all this uncertainty
Glader and glader I reloaded on GLD at 425.
GLD up QQQ down return to monke trade
GOOG and MSFT shitting the bed again. At least my GLD and SLV calls are about to break even.
If yall regards wanna make money degen way SLV/GLD calls, leaps, leveraged ETFs Short crypto using leverage up to 30x leverage cant tell which apps dont wanna get banned for promotion Earnings calls this week if you pick em right.
Because the dollar ain’t collapsing, orange tan man can try all he wants but the power that be ain’t going to let happen. If that was the case, Berk would have diversified with SLV and GLD

Nah bollocks GLD to the moon 🌙
Calls on GLD and MSFT
If you compare the SLV and GLD charts, it will blow your mind
Calls on GLD/SLV? What signal are you looking for? It is possible they will go a bit sideways for a bit and maybe even a bit down for now since everyone is super bullish on parabolic moves (which often doesn't happen)
GLD looking tempting...which means if I touch it it will crater.
If you are feeling down today, remember there are people buying puts on GLD.
since we didnt bomb iran (yet) and the usd is still gaining strength, I think GLD is going to have a slow climb up to 500 and stay there for a bit or were going to trade within the 445-480 range for a while. SLV, no idea, it could crash and burn or stay at its current price for bit
Precious metals. For your conservative approach i'd go 70% GLD / 30% SLV. 5 to 10% of total port, great hedges for BRICS growing multipolar role, dollar debasement and growing major conflict odds.
🥇gold supply in the U.S. just increased... GLD price to plummet
Started screwing around with AMD last year and got burnt. GLD and SLV leaps saved my ass... Several times lol. https://preview.redd.it/l02w8libm0lg1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5654499d6a8613626d0672ed3797882d4ca2ab3a
wtf so much random shit in this post… when are the Olympics over? I think that’s when the bombs drop in Iran. GLD, CVX 🚀
buy GLD it's still not too late monday open 🥇
Sector rotation on progress might make that a bad idea. Do GLD calls instead. NFA
Here is the Issue here, Someone says "Physical Gold/Silver" 50% of people think Gold/Silver Coins/Bars Nuggets, etc... The other 50% think ETFs- GLD/SLV/SIVR/IAU/IGLN, etc... instead of ones that track Gold Miners GDX/GDXJ, etc.. and other forms. So with all that said, I say you should try Apmex or JMbullion and see if they will cut an American Eagle $50 coin in 2/3 and sell you. Then you will have \~$3,500 of 'REAL' Physical Gold in the actual Palm of your hand...
More or less, I'd say the current market can ignore fundamentals for vibes but longer dated calls for sure. Looking at how cheap those weeklies can be compared to going farther out is a siren's song. I will say with SLV I started with going for two weeks out since I couldn't afford a lot but as I gained more I went further out and by January I was setting calls for March and when I switched to GLD I pushed out till May. The moment I went against that strategy due to greed and bought a bunch of weeklies hoping for one more quick pop was what nuked me.
So GLD is new BCASH in the worst way possible and everyone shit posting crypto got a bonner
Turned $1,200 in SLV calls in early December into GLD calls in Mid-January. Ended up with $140k at the end of Jan and instead of holding back I full ported more GLD calls on Jan 29th and that went....poorly. Lost around $97k immediately and another $15k trying to catch the falling knife. I didn't really like how that felt so I pulled all positions out and took a day to just breathe. I ended up jumping back in and making a bit off SNDK calls and rolled that profit into CATcalls. I ended up back at around $70k before pulling out $15k so in case I fucked everything up I'd still have something to show for it. Currently on a losing streak again, been hovering around $40k most of the week until Friday where I dropped to $36k and now await Northrop Grumman to either blow up or blow me up. I do love a good 0dte story, but full porting is insane to me after nuking most of my account on GLD so I'll throw a hundred bucks or so at some earnings weeklies or maybe twenty bucks or so at a stupid SPY 0dte in case of a Black/White swan event but going forward I've just decided if I'm going to lose all my money here it won't be on straight up gambling but entering a longer term position I actually think will succeed and being wrong. I'd rather be wrong and learn from it than blame bad luck and keep pushing it.
I’d liquidate the portfolio and buy GLD personally.
Time for GLD and SLV ATH
Even that groveler knows that if you run any business, you cannot effectively future-plan your business at all when tariffs flop around like a live, reeled-in fish on a deck. I'm not joking when I say this, I think this is like the 300th time mangpedo's changed tariff percentages. This from a supposed "genius businessman" that doesn't even know how *percentages* works, much less tariffs. GLD 420c and 460c 3/19/27
I have seven, GLD 420 and 460 3/19/27 calls, but I wish I would have bought even more on Tuesday after that inexplicable, dumb drop on gold over the 3-day weekend. Fiat currencies are getting mauled, the U.S. is in a de facto recession, and stagflation is here to stay. Protecc yo necks, fam.
on robinhood yes, no spx or spy tho. GOOG, SLV, GLD, MU, and SNDK were the big winners
For covered calls, you can get away with knowing delta and theta which you stated in one of your replies that you know and understand which is confirming that you do use the Greeks in some way. However, if you also understand vega, that might enhance your bottom line. For example, if you sell options when vega is in your favor (high IV=juicier premiums) you will take in more premium as opposed to when vega is unfavorable (low IV). The low IV trades can still end up with a profit if the underlying goes slightly up, down or sideways. For more advanced strategies that involves buying and selling options with multiple legs and different strikes with various expiration dates, it is crucial to use Greeks. Sometimes it could be a single leg option like a long call. You see posts all the time where someone is asking why did my 14 DTE call option lose money during earnings even though the stock went up over 2 weeks. This trader probably didn’t understand vega and theta or they wouldn’t be asking that question. Other strategies that would need a thorough understanding of the Greeks to CONSISTENTLY make money are long straddles and strangles, long diagonals, calendar spreads, iron condors and back spreads just to name a few. IMO, vega is one of the more crucial Greeks to know and understand whether you are a buyer or seller. It can make things “easier” if it is working in your favor. For example, when GLD recently went from 509 to 422, I opened an IC on day 2 of the collapse because IV spiked. I wasn’t lucky enough to pick the bottom. It continued to drop the next day. I entered the IC when GLD was at 470 and it went to 422 the very next day. However, because IV spiked on the day I opened the trade, I was able to choose really far OTM short strikes and the market priced it with a decent premium. The drop the next day didn’t do much to my position in terms of P/L. But it started to profit almost immediately when GLD stopped dropping. GLD has stabilized since and I closed out the trade for a profit.
> rapid depreciation of the U.S. dollar. Well, shit. Time to get those sweet GLD calls loaded up.
Sold my GLD calls when it dumped on the court's announcement 😶 fek
