NO. In your own words..."they dont have that much money theirselves but they try to help me". How would THEY know?? Diversified portfolio is always a best choice. Add 5% gold etf if you want (lie GLD), not the actual gold, but keep a broad range of investments. BTW, Good on you for being so far ahead at age 15!
Can $GLD fucking wake up and remember everyone thinks inflation is coming?
imo all pumps fake except my boi GLD today with yields
Do you understand why GLD is up? One reason is because USD is down. DXY is down 11% YTD so actual SP500 performance is down 5.5% i.e. 0.89 * 1.06
I'm buying all the fucking gold 🪙 today. The fed is fucked. Trust in government obliterated. Bitcoin is a ticking time bomb. Positions: GLD leaps and physical .223 rounds from Walmart
> Downvote me all you want, doesn't change facts. You're not being downvoted because of the YTD comparison of SP500 vs GLD, but because of your interpretation of what that means and why it happened.
Downvote me all you want, you can't downvote facts. YTD: SP500 6%, GLD 29%
Yoo, GLD calls are gonna rise from the grave tomorrow 😂
If this doesn’t save my $GLD calls tomorrow then I give up and just trade europoor markets
Fine, I'll long SLV and GLD, ughhhh
Ah, you're the one making my GLD calls so happy.
It’s a good day to be holding OTM GLD calls
Yo what happened to GLD at 7?
Buy GLD they said. It’ll be. A hedge they said. It’s totally uncorrelated. Utter bullshit and scam.
Any stock with the lowest spread like AMAZON GOOGLE NVDA RKLB AMD TSLA GLD
GLD rising with Qs...who's lying? 🤔
QLD 70% GLD 20% ZROZ 10% Much simpler, more diversified across asset classes, with higher expected return. Combine with 200SMA switching strategy and you’ll outperform any portfolio you can come up with in terms of risk-adjusted-return.
GLD been trading within a range for a while. Wanna buy calls but don't wanna get theta burned. Anyone got calls? What strikes?
The question is "underperform what and by which metrics?" The strategy for 50/50 XLK/GLD outperforms holding VOO or SPY by all metrics I use over multiple overlapping timeframes: total return, Sharpe ratio, and Sortino ratio. Will it underperform 100% XLK? Sure, over certain timeframes. But the drawdowns are crazy, resulting in underperforming for certain timeframes. The Sharpe and Sortino ratios are worse. Give [https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio) a try. It's the best tool I have found for getting a feel for how rebalancing uncorrelated assets works. Their portfolio optimization tool and monte carlo simulation tools are pretty cool to play with as well.
I just personally am not a fan of gold in general. For GLD the 5 year return is 70% but 33% of the return is within the last year. It definitely has cycles where it performs great, but it also just had an 11 year streak between 2011-2022 where there was no return at all. That can happen to any asset class, like the lost decade, but I still can’t figure out why we continue to view it as a store of value and don’t see it having continued outperformance. Again, just my own perspective. Could definitely be wrong.
So, yeah. True. But I started with ETHE and it doesn't really have history. But do the backtest yourself on XLK/GLD. It has even better results for 10 years. 3.5% better than SPY. The problem with backtesting is that it cannot account for the addition of new asset classes or changes in domestic or international law which permanently alter asset class performance.
Nothing juices a portfolio like holding gold and rebalancing frequently (for example when any allocation is off by >3%). The Sortino ratio for a 50/50 ETHE/GLD since 2020 is 5.7. Hell, since 2021, arguably the worst time to have bought Etherium, it's 1.28 with a 50% annualized return. SPY is 1.09 at 13.7%. The Sortino ratio for 50/50 XLK/GLD since 2021 is 1.61, beating SPY's annualized return by 2% with a 4% lower max drawdown.
Defensive is simply an unleveraged position on equities like QQQ or judt hedges only versus the aggressive position which is used to increase leverage via LETFs such as TQQQ. This is a variation of the very popular SSO GLD ZROZ strategy in r/LETFs but using TQQQ instead and adding in managed futures for even more diversification. 200SMA is used to determine periods of low volatility when price is above (bull runs) and to separate out the bad times with high volatility below the 200SMA and avoiding leverage when below it.
To answer your post: 1) I think it’s likely that the inflation rate will be continuing to rise steadily for the next 12-18 months due to the tariffs beginning to trickle-down to the end consumer. 2) I also think there is a fair chance that this is the first of many rate cuts since the administration has been pushing so hard and it is likely that the next Federal Reserve Chair will be more likely to implement the current administration’s desire for lower rates. 3) I’m not really looking for a free lunch, I’m looking for a prudent vehicle to park about 150k over the next 5 -7 years. My final thoughts are about 35k in SGOV or similar, 75k in STIPS (or similar), 15K in GLD and the remainder in corporate bonds.
What’s the deal with GLD call options when you sell in profit when it comes to taxes? Is it different than regular calls/profits?
Can’t believe my fomo into GLD after the morning candle actually worked
Printing so hard off GLD calls 🤑
Gold, gold, and more gold. I have upped my GLD position since Trump was elected and it has paid off handsomely.
Big potential W on GLD forming.
yeah FXE, GLD, and BTC also rocketed up after the news cause the USD is going in the trash if rate cuts happen
Let’s go XAU break $3400 so GLD can run more
Hedge funds were heavily shorting GLD expecting XAU to not break $3400. Generational opportunity.

Zero reasons not to load up on GLD calls, free money
GLD heading to $320. Money is gonna be worthless LMAO
Another day to avg down on my GLD calls I suppose, but maybe it'll break out after Jackson's hole today 🤷
It's not that volatile. It's not going down much from 307 but even a quarter point cut could push it back up. Still dealing with a currency losing buying power in the long term. I like to buy below 308 and ride up to 313 or so, but I think at some point we see GLD gap up.
Wouldnt GLD be a bad buy if he says no rate cuts expected? Since it would like affect pricing
Sold most of my $MSOS and expecting to buy end of day tomorrow on the dip. Do I have enough $GLD for Powell speech??
GLD is the gayest of all gays
I don't think GLD calls are retarded at all; CRWV is perhaps semi-retarded.
Closed net, rddt poots from Friday y'day and bought crwd, GLD and crwv 2dte calls which may have been retarded. Godspeed...
I don’t do leaps, I usually do 100-120 day long options and sell weekly short calls around .15 delta, which is called a diagonal calendar spread or poor man’s covered call. I roll or close around 50-60 dte to avoid the steepest segment of the theta curve. You can do it the same way with leaps though. Recently I jumped on NVO and LLY immediately after their post earnings dips. I expected a decent jump so I went for more leverage by buying my longs atm with the expectation the stock would quickly rise and put them deeper, which they did. If I had less expectation of rapid growth, for example GLD, I would buy my long at .65-.7 delta to reduce the extrinsic that I’m losing on my longs. That would be more of an income play and less about underlying growth. I had to roll my LLY short 3 times to keep the short delta low because the underlying went up so fast. So that illustrates why you have to monitor every day. But overall I’m up about 50% in three weeks. You just want to find good premium and narrow spreads, so stocks popular with the degens and retail in general can be good. I probably wouldn’t get in on NVO and LLY at their current price, but you can do this on anything you think will go up or even just won’t go down. I personally think the mag 7 have a correction coming so I’d wait on those. Likewise spy and qqq. But those are all good options if you believe they’re still going up. I like to buy something when it drops but I still believe in it. I’m waiting until after Jackson Hole, but if Powell sounds hawkish and GLD dips below $303 then it would be a good opportunity. Likewise if any of the inflation prints come in hot before the September FOMC it could cause an opportunity to start a long call position in GLD. If you’re really bullish you can have an asymmetric position, like 2 shorts for every 3 longs, to give you more upside at the cost of less premium. As far as what you can make, on paper your short theta will decline almost twice as fast as your long theta if you’re selling the right shorts. It gets less profitable when your long gets closer to expiration. I’d say you can make like 10-15% per month on paper, with the obvious caveats about commissions, having to roll sometimes, and the usual warning that the underlying could go down and you lose money. Good luck!
GLD gonna break out of this 4 month soon
puts on everything. pick something. friday will be brutal. Memes first. tesla, open, KSS, RKT. Obliterated. PLTR might touch 140 again and maybe test 135. Apple is FKD. META gonna hurt from AI freeze. RBLX pedos. All puts. Puts across AI. Calls on IBIT or GLD, because safe havens. Maybe not so much IBIT, but who knows.

I buy calls 2 weeks out on GLD when it hits 302.5. Easy money. I'm not sure if it'll go lower than 305 from here on out though.
I’m 150K deep in GLD 3/20/26 $315 calls
fuck I missed the move on GLD today. was an EASY buy cause of tech rotation into gold
Thinkin about buying GLD puts sometime tomorrow before Powell speaks Friday and he’s not as dovish as the market expects him to be..
Fine, I'll buy GLD while buying 0DTEs.... hedge complete.
Doing $315 GLD calls for Friday. They’re dirt cheap and I feel like it’ll jump in response to continued uncertainty this week. GL folks.
holy manipulation. glad I’m just holding GLD like a loser
Calls looking good again (GLD)

GLD kinda flying better not fade like it has been
Only shit green in my port pre-market is GLD, that’s never good…..
but cancelled wars surely means GLD goes down?
120K deep in GLD 3/20/26 $315 calls. I see a coil and economic uncertainty
Don't expect GLD to always go up in a liquidity crisis.
DXY flat and GLD down... doesnt seem like a real risk-off, flight to safety move going on here. Fading this action via SPX calls.
If you really cant afford to lose more than 10ish percent then try this https://testfol.io/?s=5KSsTrdej8n Rebalance every 4 months 20% in VTI 15% in GLD 15% in TLT 50% in Short term bonds, like Ubil or something similar. You'd get something like 5.5% returns. Thats the highest i found for a passive strategy that doesnt risk more than 10% drawndowns.
