Hopefully you mean physical because GLD has been pegging me this past week and a half. At least when I use my actual gold I can touch to do that I can finally feel something.
You can buy a gold ETF, ticker GLD. With physical gold every middleman needs to take a commission.
Clearly AMC is the correct choice since they took your money and literally bought a gold mine. Since USD/GLD is trending down clearly they'll become profitable any day now...

E\*Trade thinks GLD is contributing 68% of my overall risk in it’s portfolio risk assessment. Do they think this administration is going to shrink the money supply?
🥭 ETF investments REVEALED * SQQQ * TSLS * DJT * GLD
Market performing perfectly, government performing perfectly. Of course GLD goes up when you are paving roads with it.
No, I don't think so, but I can see how it looks that way. u/flybyskyhi made the point that he wasn't confident that his macroeconomic guesses would translate into positive equity prices. I'm a trend-follower, so I made the (unstated) leap based on his comment that all you need to know is manifested in the equity price. I trade GLD, so I know it's going up. I trade Walmart, so in Yahoo Finance I looked at the "Compare to WMT" section on the WMT page and found Costco was doing well. I trade Kroger, and found ACI, SFM, & GO the same way. I trade HSBC, and found BofA, BCS, & RY the same way. But I didn't start with a thesis that retailers or grocers or banks "should" do well; I'd found a trending stock on 3 separate occasions, and then in hindsight saw that maybe those sectors are doing well. But notice that I'm not saying to buy ALL the grocers, or ALL the banks, but if one in a category is doing well, maybe look at the others also. I have a bunch of watchlists set up in Barchart, and I'd found each of my original picks by sorting them and then scrolling through charts until I found one that looked good. No macroeconomic forecasts required. Cheers!
GLD is more of a long term play. it's a seasonally weak period from now until june anyways, I saw recently.
my decision to buy GLD in the pre-market has not panned out like I thought it might. lol
Hellz yeah. I need to see this. America number one!!! GLD green!
This fake pump is to usher in the Golden Age of America. Those GLD Calls are gonna pump so hard for Trump and the boys.

Goodbye GOOGL calls, but why my GLD calls are bleeding too 🥲
GDX will do better than GLD
This is good for GLD right? Right!?
Don't expect the market to be rational. That said, I bought GLD calls because I don't see how this doesn't go up.
Why GLD 
If it keeps up, see you in 6 to 9 months. Realistically, a DJ at 36 or 35, Nasdaq 16-17 and GLD 4+. But we will see, I could be wrong and the trend reverse
GLD not green is really sus

my thoughts also. gold commodity prices (what GLD is based on) have already risen by about 0.75% since the news dropped.
we expecting GLD to rise on this news?
Who GLD see this coming?

Nice, I hesitated on GLD 
I went full port to GDX and GLD
SPY and TLT dumping GLD not moving, something not adding up here
yes the gld chart has been bear flagging since last week. I got 4 $300P 5/16 and 1 $300P 5/30 on GLD down 12% currently but ready for this shit to print
GLD always takes the biggest dumps AH
 I got tired of losing on SPY puts so I bought GLD calls 
At least 1 person in here panic sold all their positions and full ported GLD at the top 
I lost so much on SPY puts. So I bought GLD calls instead. Why do I always pick wrong 
Considering the attack Trump pulled on the markets, I'd now assume your statement to be wrong, and to be closer to " Shit shit shit we should have been ready yesterday! " And many countries will act, within the next 4 years, possibly even this very year. Ie Kenya "considering" dropping USD reserves, and going GLD. And that's one country, after 1 month of market bullshit. Why I am bearish on US markets ? Countries will react quickly as they've already been caught pants down. And depending on how Trump handles US companies hit by tarrifs, he might also eventually lose their support, provoking a flight to different markets (but that will take longer) Ah also, any point now, an impeachment is launched, succeeds or fails, and you guys end up in open civil war.
What strike price in GLD transacted $192 million? Do you mean $192 million in premium or notional value of the contracts?
Anyone notice the $192M worth of call options bought today on GLD expiring on June 20th?
Buy the GLD dip I would say?
I knew when WSB was going all in GLD it would crash and mark a local top 
Looks like my GLD position about to print again tomorrow
I'm holding GLD.. with put options for cheap protection. expiration 1/16 2026 I think Trump's already shit the bed and something worse than a run of the mill recession is coming. I think the chance of a black swan event has risen too.

Buying GLD and GOOGL calls 2 years out and going on a six month bender with the homie in Seattle where i can hopefully find the love of my life that will let me control the finances and gamble away our savings on 0DTE SPY calls 
SPY & TLT up while GLD down. American exceptionalism is so back
Could have been a few things that happened at once: 1. The Fed stepped in and propped up the failing bonds market after the basis trade blew out a few hedge funds. This sort of said "we'll be the backstop" and lessened fears. Risk-on trades followed, and gold is a risk-off asset. 2. I heard that a lot of fund managers had 3,500 as their auto-sell target for profit-taking after that fast run-up. It was, after all, a very "psychological" level after 3,000. I too pared half of my GLD holdings once that happened, but I've since re-bought in about a week ago when it dipped under 3,300. I will probably not buy again until we go over 3,450, as confirmation that the macro is still why gold is going up.
roll 'em. Having some GLD calls out to August and SPY puts out to June only seems to make good sense as a hedge for all the other crap I am bagholding these days.
I get why spy is down, I was counting on it. But why is GLD dumping
GLD calls at open. These twerps are further destroying the trust in the U.S. dollar on a daily basis.
I personally feel that allocations under 10% aren’t worth it. 5% in defense isn’t going to noticeably affect your performance and just over complicates things. Maybe do something like 60% VTI, 20% VXUS, 10% BND, 10% GLD? If you don’t like nominal bonds you can swap out BND for VTIP.
Good thing I got 304 GLD puts this week.
Why not GLD leaps instead? That’s what I’m doing.
Might buy GLD before GDP numbers on Wednesday
Forex and GLD up quite a bit today. Market is looking like two opposing narratives at the moment.
At this point the market's just off to Neverland just build a cash position and go for GLD/EUAD/VTSAX
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, though I don't much wait for dips to buy the longs, or rebounds to sell the shorts. Take a look at [GLD over the last year.](https://imgur.com/a/gld-1y-dmjR0Bv) Up until recently, and that 5% dip aside, it's just been smoothly up and up. I've been mostly all-in on that. How far out to sell? I read [Intrinsic: Using LEAPS to Retire Early](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=intrinsic%2C+using+leaps+to+retire+early+by+mike+yuen&crid=31C1FF69XJQIJ&sprefix=intrinsic+leaps%2Caps%2C170&ref=nb_sb_ss_p13n-retrained-pltr-ranker_1_15) by Mike Yuen, and between that and a work friend, I got mostly convinced that a year out or more is best. But I'm a short-term trader at heart (weekly to monthly kind of stuff), so I modified that some. When I was initially deploying capital (3 accounts) I bought 1 1-year 80-delta Call, then 1 9 months out, 6 months out, and 3 months. Laddering them in that way. Then as GLD has gone up I've rolled the shorter ones up and out toward 1-year. Doing that gets you credits, so then I've taken that money and bought 80-delta Calls **just 1 month out**. That's house money, so I don't mind being riskier with it. But then those get rolled up and out to, and eventually will hit the 1-year mark. That's where I think I'll keep my long Calls: in the expiration that's 1 year out, and when they get closer than that, roll them out. Then continue to roll them back up to 80-delta in that 1y expiration, using the freed-up profit to buy more long GLD Calls.
AT least put it in GLD or FXF in case the dollar declines even farther
Yeah, I set that up in OptionStrat, which you might've recognized. It'll show the Greeks, but that's a paid feature. I'm sure ToS will do what E-Trade does for you, but I just tried to set it up in the Analyze tab and got lost just trying to enter the legs; I'll work on that. So then I set it up just as if I were going to enter the spread, in the Trade tab, but I didn't see anything there like "analyze this trade." But the numbers did match OptionStrat, so that was comforting. How do you "pre-calculate" the return on these? The Credit for this one is 240, against a BPE of 5240 in my margin account. And that's the minimum credit, right? The built-in profit under the flat part of the curve? So 240 / 5240 = 4.5% for the month of this trade (31DTE from tomorrow). And then Max Profit would be if GLD finished at 296. That's a much better number: 840 / 5240 = 16% *But I don't expect GLD to end up under the triangle.* In fact, the right side of the triangle is at 302, with spot currently at 309. Now, the plateau ends at 327 on the right side, which is $1 more than the Expected Move shown on ToS. So do you play these as pretty sure-fire bets that you're going to keep the credit (and make that 4.5% per month)? Which isn't bad at all, 54% apy. But then if the stock falls you're protected on the downside (4 or 5 dollars below EM in this case)? Thanks.
My moves tomorrow? Sell all my bleeding SPY and AAPL puts. It's clear this idiot is just going to gradually give in to these dumb tariffs with exemptions eventually to all major industries as the crypto bribes roll in. Focus instead on GLD leaps, and December UDN calls.
Hope none of you cornballs bought GLD calls before close 
A Jade Ratio Spread Lizard? Have I set it up right [here on GLD?](https://imgur.com/a/ihqC43d) I went middle-of-the-range on all the parts you specified. The 2 short Puts are at 22-delta. The long Put is 32-delta. The short Call is 22-delta. The long Call is 10-delta. What does that make the overall delta? My head spins when I try to work that out. Is it something like: 2(-22) + 32 - 22 + 10? I get -24, is that right? And how would you adjust to get delta +/- 10? Thanks.
I've dabbled in GDX, but in general the GLD has been smoother. But both are up 43% yoy, with GDX having a steeper climb since the late-Dec low for both. So I checked the costs and premiums: June '26 80-delta Calls, divided into spot to give leverage value, then multiplied by delta: GLD 5.8x leverage GDX 3.0x I knew there was a reason I preferred GLD, I think I'd done this exercise before. Then how about the % return of a 32DTE ATM Call against spot: GLD 2.6% GDX 4.3% Hmm, GDX wins that one. But let's multiply each return by its leverage factor: GLD 15.1% GDX 12.9% Work it out for yourself, but it seems to me that return from 30-delta Calls sold against 80-delta Calls is a bit higher for GLD than GDX. But we should probably play Newmont directly, it's up 45% since the beginning of the year. Cheers!
I will never own GLD again (snores)
"what about having 2 M In GLD- it 300% to 6M, while stocks crash 50%" I'll leave hypotheticals to you. I'll keep DCAing in VOO, thank you very much. Once I don't have the cash flow to keep DCAing, I won't be so heavily in VOO anymore.
True, but suppose is a 10 M - portfolio, would to or any number- would you have significant cash flow to DCA - what about having 2 M In GLD- it 300% to 6M, while stocks crash 50% - now you have strong position to Rebalance- vs just DCA with pure income
I'm glad you mentioned silver. I didn't want to say gold, but that's what I've been doing it on, the ETF GLD. Pretty much all-in across 3 accounts: 64k at today's close, up from 48k on March 24th. 32% in 5 weeks and a day.
GLD is the play of the year 
SPY chopping while GLD steady up today 
Because the pump was fake lol, GLD has become a pretty good teller of that
C’mon GLD, bend me over and gape me
One of them is faking, and GLD doesn't fake, SPY 540 EOD tomorrow 
Do I hold my GLD 310 call for tomorrow? I'm up now but I dunno
Is it ok to start swinging GLD now?
GLD calls up biggly, SPY puts down 
GLD stabilizing, pump is over, don't know about a dump tho
They’re doing this just to kill shorts. Can’t have people winning on rational plays. At least GLD is still mooning (ATH soon).
UUP puts, GLD calls. And when the market breaks, QQQ puts 
Ha ha I'm a dumbass, I meant calls. Yes I'm normally a ber these days. But it's a 308 call on GLD. I see we bounced off it again. It's like a whole line of little spikes that tease me all day, never quite get to 308, and drop back down again. The market hates me.
https://preview.redd.it/c38tg4wl4mxe1.png?width=1289&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2d475ba03e82acf941cfc6f5c5b1bd776f3b00e So I imagine this is super dumb. But this is a GLD 280/281 Debit spread. The bid ask is wide .60/1.20 Expires in June. But if you could lock it in for let's say 75 bucks and feel comfortable that gold will stay up. That is a decent annualized return. The biggest issue is the 281 holder exercising the call. So I basically wasted my art skills.
Buy GLD calls and SPY puts. EZ mode.
I saw they were advertising some TRUMP 2024 gold coins on one of those late night TV auctions for old people. All jokes aside, you can just buy gold futures on robinhood, or invest in $GLD ETF.
I can confidently state that the today's ceiling for GLD is $308 because that's the strike price on my puts expiring this afternoon. Trade accordingly.
couldve made a fucking bag buying GLD 308 calls for .02 this morning
Buy GLD calls and SPY puts as usual
I hedge with leap call GLD , so I am not that down
