GLD is where its at up $100
CRM, GLD and SLV my only positions through this month. I think I can chill.
Reminds me of SLV / GLD
GLD and SLV look like they wanna make a run back to ATH’s
Ofc I have no idea. May look for a reaction around 4465 +/- (MGC). Focus your theses/analysis on gold futures. You can execute on GLD if you want.
The GLD bandwagon in the daily is (so far) genuine. The other one is just a bot campaign.
I love that every time a financial instrument (HTZ and GLD this morning it appears) has an outsized market move everyone here gets on the bandwagon many hundreds of basis points too late to enter a profitable trade.
$402 is a major GLD hurdle. NOW $127, MSFT $496. it appears that msft has cleared it.
Just buy calls on $GLD at open. It might work out
the GLD leap call i bought last month is going crazy
Dealers are either gonna try and hammer $GLD today or amplify the move up to $411
Fuck $HTZ, Look at $GLD
held GLD the whole day yesterday and dumped before close because i couldn't take the drop anymore. but when i zoomed out, it did not really drop, compared to the gain on previous day. i was still too scared so i only bought ONE back! the way i do it, i will never get my money back. its a perpetual loss.
Trying to decide between Gdxu or GLD calls.
Ban the HTZ bots, need more GLD bots
I just just picked up some GLD calls today

GLD flushing they didn’t even pump it to 400 hahaha

Something wrong in the matrix because GLD is going up more than SLV
Eyes on SLV and GLD
I’m personally bullish on gold ($GLD) right now. I think we’ve reach the bottom. There will be some resistance on the way up but seems like a solid buy.
I’d liquidate my puts and do vertical Spreads in GLD
Did they remove GLD from SPY?
Yes double beat but CEO of GLD has given bad guidance. So it’s a mixed earnings reaction.
GLD had earnings today?
HOLY anyone has GLD calls? Up 10000%
GLD is expected to pump hard
Holy GLD is unstoppable, it’s no longer following SPY
I bought some GLD so it'll come crashing down eventually.
i single handedly stopped the surge in GLD, nbis? fuck you too. sorry guys
I knew buying GLD calls when gold was at 3950 was the right call

I had GLD leaps a couple of weeks ago until it started looking like a swing failure, but I'll eyeball them again soon.
Chat it might finally be the time to buy GLD and SLV calls again.
I did very similar; started with $7500 in June 2025, made it to $115k by the end of Oct. and had no f'ing clue how to trade the downside properly and got stuck in several sticks that went 40-50% red and my account went from 115 back to 16k. Still up over my original 7500 so I'm not complaining. I found I do better when I focus on 1 or 2 stocks. I made all that money back in 2025 trading GLD. I'm on a comeback tour now and back to just over 50k since taking my losses and selling all my red stocks back in March. I should have held because EVERY ONE of rhem has since come back; but I was tires of looking at a red portfolio. Now I concentrate on SPY and TSLA. I study the levels and charts and take 0dte's on SPY and the nearest exp or spreads on TSLA. I do better focusing on 1 or 2 at a time. SPY is good for a $7-9 range everyday and TSLA is good for about a $10 range but occasionally makes HUGE moves worth thousands. 20 trades a day at an average of $30-50 playing the range and you make a nice little chunk by the end of the week.
I never said gold was a bad investment. I have 16% of my multi 7-figure portfolio in gold. I simply said physical gold was. The spread is just one factor. The settlement is another huge one. You’re going to bring pounds of gold bars to settle the trade? Or bring the counter party to your bank to take possession? I mean it’s just silly. Only conspiracy theorists think the ETF GLD is a major risk. They also complain about fiat currency but there’s a reason I don’t pay my mortgage in pigs or cows. For all its imperfections, the world evolved and moves on.
I was ready to pivot my entire portfolio into gold specifically GLD when JP got removed. I instead bought a call. I figured the ‘man in charge’ would have made him bend the knee and lower rates. The GLD call was down about 50%. My portfolio would’ve been down 30k plus if I did what I wanted to.
GLD as a paper derivative of physical gold itself is to contribute to the price depression
These comments are confirming the bottom imo Although, if things really take off with Iran again, GLD is probably headed to $300
SPY, ASTS, GLD; I am going to viciously blast my money into these
I typically close at nearly a full winner for a $0.01 or $0.02 Debit. Here is some more background and why that works for me. I’ve been trading Put Credit Spreads for over six years with excellent returns. It is slightly boring, but is low stress and provides time freedom (only trade about 15 minutes per week). Sell highly liquid underlyings (I use NDX, GLD, RUT, IBIT, SPX, USO, DIA, IYR, SMH, TLT, XBI, VIX). 15 Delta (Out of the Money with 85% Probability of Profit). Short Term (28-32 DTE) with a laddered approach so one rolls off while another is opened each week. Little Management (only close positions out at a 200% loss if needed). Typically use $5 wide, but I go to $25 wide on RUT & SPX and $100 wide on NDX.
Could be. Looks like they've bottomed to me. Their bad days aren't that bad anymore. GDX and GLD are in a tight range and the green candles are always way higher volume than the reds. Massive support at 70-72 for GDX and 365 for GLD. They are definitely holdable now
So are we gonna forget about MU and MRVL and go back to pumping SLV and GLD, like the good old days?
Gold was at $615 in 1980. You had to hold it with $0 return ( no dividend or interest ) until 2007 . If you sold before you had 26 years of potential loss and it dipped into the low $200’s . I bought GLD and because I had gains on some stocks I wanted to sell I harvested a tax loss on GLD . I think it’s going to keep going down . Good riddance
Maybe if oil is too expensive and currencies are fluctuating it’s a safe haven that won’t see as much new supply GLD to $400

Yeah my bad I've got GLD on the brain
The fact that TLT and GLD are tanking at the same time is very bad....
If you're not buying GLD I really can't help you
was watching SPY and QQQ but the play was GLD and SLV
still better than buying GLD at peak
How is easy. You simply sell to get back to your target allocation. Wait, you don’t have a target allocation? You’re going about this all wrong then. As for my personal perspective, that’s too much gold. Gold has had one of its best run-up in recent times, even if it has given some back. I’d take some winnings off the table. You need to know what you’re investing for and how your portfolio helps you get there. Mine is a drawdown portfolio, so my primary aims: 1. Maximize withdrawal % 2. Minimize volatility And my allocation: 21% SCHG (growth engine) 21% AVUV (still growth but less correlated to SCHG) 26% TLT (crash insurance) 16% GLD (diversifier in certain environments) 10% DBMF (trend following) 6% cash but currently in 3% EFG and 3% AVDV I rebalance once a year or sooner if any asset hits a 20% rebalancing band. That’s it. This gives me 5% withdrawals adjusted for inflation forever with less than 1/3 the volatility of equities. Drawdowns are shallow and short. Helps me sleep at night.
Premiums on GLD are whack because I can't afford them. Lul
We can pick in choose time windows all we want to prove points. SpaceX was a great buy for 24 hours. The best ever. Now...not so much. Seems SPY and GLD track back to early 90s on yahoo finance. And SPY is about double gold that time. And up 700%. And inflation is about 138% or 1 dollar is now $2.38. Take an average TIPS over that time and think those are about 5% annualized. So based on rule of 72 we are about $4 in relatively guaranteed cash return.
You might want to research what happens to sectors/stocks that go parabolic and pullback significantly (GLD/SLV, Quantum, small Ai names, EV, solar, Covid biotech, etc. etc.)
# I got call debits on GLD, and Sold itm Puts on NVDA, Heed my advice
Damn it GLD why are you being like this
You're being dishonest. There are real risks that apply solely to GLD- counterparty/custodian risk, Governments could begin confiscating or freezing gold transactions, GLD authorized participants could default... Much crazier things have happened in history.
Regarding 1, there is always the chance. I hold the ETF GLD. It’s backed by gold bars in London, with audits. They make a lot of money off that. Could always be an issue but chances are so small. Nations buy physical gold for their own reasons that doesn’t necessarily apply to individuals unless you’re into conspiracies. You’re wrong on the last point. Reddit is not the place for that debate but you do you.
This is just a stupid argument. Of shit hits the fan hard enough you are dead, if it doesn’t your gold spot ETF will be fine. There isn’t a real in between where physical gold is fine but your GLD isn’t
I didn’t buy physical gold at the top, and I didn’t expend too much of my portfolio. But, well, I’m locked in for good now, at 22.5% down on my investment in GLD.
Physical gold is a crazy thing to do unless you're a prepper. You can just buy the ticker GLD. Every time you trade physical gold a middleman is going to take a 10% commission. You also risk having it stolen, lost in a disaster, etc.
GLD and SOXX charts (1yr or 5yr) have striking resemblance
Yes sir. NDX is expensive, but it's an outstanding trading vehicle. I did struggle in June because of the "end" of the Iran war, which highly affected my commodities positions. I lost several in USO (and even IBIT / GLD). TLT struggled in June also. That was very atypical though and the market has returned to normal after the unwinding of all of the war related underlyings. July has been outstanding so far. I have around an 85% win percentage going back to 2020.
This is exactly what happened to my GLD calls, I made shitloads of money in 2025 then had to gamble again in 2026 and lost it all and paid taxes of my 2025 gains lolololol

Things that continue no matter what...waste removal (WM, RSG), funerals (SCI, CSV), toilet paper and the like (KMB, CHD, etc...), and also consider that gold tends to do well as people seek liquidity (GLD, PHYS, SII, FCFS, etc...).
My portfolio is now ai proof: BA, ELF, ONDS, AVAV, LPTH, OUST, AAPL, KTOS, SHAK, GLD....... Or will Claude be able to vibe code replacements for these ?..... 😦🤌
Currenttly long GLD NEM, tomorrow would be a good entry
Bears in here should save money and buy GLD and related sectors instead of wasting it on puts. Metals are likely bottoming here or will be very shortly. 60-70% chance this consolidation breaks strong upward based on vol profile and price delta. That's the real bearish bet on macro conditions
Thanks, you're right, I could use /ES! To be honest I haven't recently written SP500 calls of any form against my SPHQ bc their correlation since early 2025 nosedived from .98 to .84 I dostill write GLD contracts against my SGOL tho. Turns out at Schwab GLD contracts are considered section 1256. That was a pleasant surprise to see on the 1099B form!
The last time (March 2026) everyone was freaking out about the crude oil rig tanker zombie apocalypse, I just BTD on $VXUS, $VT, $GLD, and $EWJ when they hit support levels. The world will figure out how to solve this cluster f\*ck b/c there's too much money at stake and everyone will lose if a resolution to the crude oil rig tanker zombie apocalypse doesn't appear. Find what you want to own and then look at the charts. I will use $VXUS as an example b/c its my largest position and it's usually pretty boring. The 100 DMA is $82.51 so I bought 100 shares Friday morning when we came close to retesting that level. If we fall thru that support level then the next level of support is $79.56. I will buy another 100 shares if we retest that level. If that doesn't hold then the next level of support is the previous crude oil rig tanker zombie apocalypse low of $74.53 on March 31st. I will buy another 100 shares if we reach that price. There are no guarantees in life; and no one knows when a top or bottom will occur or if we start rallying. But the idea is to ALWAYS have a plan. You need a plan in case stocks rally. You also need a plan in case stocks crash. Good Luck.
If you want to gamble, UGL is 2x GLD
I know this is WSB but I would GLD and GDX and chill. Leveraged etfs are the devil
Is anyone else thinking about GLD or GDX? GDXU dropped from $550 to $69 since the war broke out but historically gold has done well in times with high global uncertainty so maybe a reversal is due?
i'll help you guys out here keep an eye on GLD the closer it gets to 300 the better deal you will get i think even if you bought here and DCA'd you will be right but will take time the stop should be at 288, techinically it can go slightly below there but it won't close below there. that's where traders will with an atr band to give themselves room to not get stopped out gold will go up though, I guarantee it.
