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
Just got on lunch break, time to check my full port 0dte GLD OTM calls
GOLD!! GLD!! XAU! - Massive Pump! Calls printed. Thank you, everyone, for your attention to this matter.
Need GLD up, Intel down, and path to 🚀
!banbet Friends in the future always do GDX or GDXJ for banbets not shitty GLD
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.

Time to load up those GLD calls?
Last chance for GLD calls. Money is about to rotate
Buy $GLD calls thank me later
Hope this money goes into IWM and GLD
the only reason my account is positive is because somehow my position in GLD is -100 while i intended for +100.
GLD puts and MSFT are the only thing saving me this week
I’m somehow red today thanks GLD :)
Benefits to both physical and the spot price; GLD offers easy liquidity and you can borrow against it if you need to claim assets for collateral on a home or use margin. Cons are the expense ratio of 0.4% you can see when gld started it was equal to about 1/10 an oz of gold and 20 years later it’s lagging by 8%. Physical gives you satisfaction similar to owning real estate and the lack of liquidity means you won’t paperhand or panic sell it as easily. Cons are paying premium over spot when you buy and maybe getting spot or a touch lower when you sell. For physical, lowest premium is at Costco but you’re limited in quantity. Lowest premium is on 1oz gold coins minted in your country. Example; gold maples in Canada, Brittanias uk, pandas China, and gold eagles USA. Check your local coin shop if you want to buy larger quantities or large respected bullion dealers. When I bought gold back in 2023 APMEX had a special collaboration with a 0% introductory credit card that basically gave you 5% (but after they charge a credit card fee I think you only gain 1% net.) can you see where this is going? I maxed that shit on 1oz coins. Would pay it off in 6 months and then max it again and slowly pay it off. I also bought some random 1/10 gold eagles and 1oz silver coins from a couple local people (that’s your best opportunity to find a deal). I ended up selling my random locally acquired pieces back to APMEX and was pleased with the ease, tho it takes 7 days to mail and process and get wired money. You also have to figure out how to send “registered mail” or whatever is recommended with UPS. I personally felt like a drug dealer while selling it; claiming a fair amount of insurance on a small box probably looks sus.
SLV calls or GLD calls on this dip 🤔
GLD weeklies from late August to October was euphoric. I stopped touching it right before the final week’s insane rally… call volume increase and overall hype had me too spooked to enter any positions. Glad I did bc I know I would’ve fucked myself over by getting too greedy. But I’m now chasing the dragon with GLD calls expiring eoy! 👍
Asia said fuck your GLD profits
US about to invade Venezuela and GLD is still below 400? Should be at 500. This is free money.
GLD is pegged to SPY by MM's in NY session. No way it would stay at pre-market price when SPY is down. Shoulda gone SLV
Nuked the small account today on GLD calls 🤡 The one time I try to trade something different 😂 $280 -> $3300 - $220 (I periodically took money out though 😂)
Just move a dollar GLD the fuck
Jpow speech leaked he said buy GLD dump 🌽
Just sold my GLD calls about an hour ago. It’ll pump to 415 now.
Where the fuck are the GLD buyers at that drove it to 392 bring that shit back
GLD you slut stop getting rejected at 390
GLD just stuck where it’s at please go up
They can’t make me doubt you GLD
The one time I try to trade GLD 🤡
I wish I could break up with GLD and give it up cold turkey, but GLD has been doing dirty, deeply sexual things to my portfolio and I like it.
GLD got obliterated at open
I got fucked over by GLD in the last 2 months. Still have time til the end of month but meh. Should switch to SLV and get bent over also.
Saw that rug coming on GLD…wish I bought more puts
As much as I want GLD to go up, I feel it’s gonna rug
My spider vibe senses is telling me they are probably gonna rug GLD and SLV
Old could be GLD But GLD could never be Old
People keep saying it ain't a bear market, yet GOOGL and GLD are still my best holds this year
Remember when it would take GLD 40 years to recover? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
You guys will never know the feeling of being in GLD calls only to realize you’re balls deep in META calls. The agony and ecstasy, all rolled in one.
4GLD. They even bring you the gold if you want it 😎😎
Most of mine are 373-385c for 12/16/26 but since I bought them back when GLD was about 390 and then DCA'd when it was 385 they are only now decently profitable. I have a lot of 400c I'll let ride though. I really was early lol
u think so? I'm waiting for a breakout on GLD
Man I was getting so nervous about my GLD calls lol, the play felt right but I was early. Gonna close most positions today!
Turns out the only digital gold one needs is GLD
Yeah I'm selling my GLD puts tomorrow
Idk, the risk/benefit of MSTR calls this week at open seems pretty nice. Last time there was this much consensus on an asset it was GLD right before it had its worst trading day in recorded history.
Been talking about MFG, NMR, and SMFG calls for a long time. Top tier financial institutions JPY, they will soon have a stablecoin and the yen interest rate was set to go up. Also hedge against US volatility... Today, overnight, Bank of Japan interest rate looming, short term bonds raised 1.01 interest... and that caused that all Asian leveraged positions in bitcoin got closed or margin called, and today it's going to be a pretty red day, and maybe even GLD make it to $400 incredible. lol. Seriously, get some shares, those will pop off hard today.
Who panic sold their GLD in November 🫵🤡
that's true. atleast it's not dumping abnormally yet. it has been very troubling last few weeks for those who bought long dated GLD calls at around 395
silver gaining faster than gold. wish I had SLV calls instead of GLD
If u bought GLD call at the dip exactly one month ago u are huge in the money tmrw lol, ef course i did not I’m an idiot 🤓
Made the wrong impatient choice of selling all GLD at 375 fml
A third of my port is GLD call leaps. Bring it on
GLD chart looks like a breakout is imminent
Not OP, but Honestly i’m not sure. I got most of my gold/silver prior to recent highs. The biggest problem with this trade is i don’t know where exactly to get off the ride. I predicted $5k gold elsewhere back in early 2024, still didn’t probably buy enough for how early i was. I got physical silver, but I see that more as a SHTF fund if the dollar shits out or the investment thesis runs out of legitimacy, and if we’re printing money going forward then I see no point in selling it until it stops or breaks. For now i’ll just keep DCA’ing daily into $GLD and $SLV, then just sell $AGQ once i feel the squeeze is ending.
