Going to break $4200ish eventually. As always the question is when and which direction. All I know is $GLD ain't no $BTC
GLD with an obvious golden shower pattern
GLD better start going up instead of down
I sold my SPY/GLD, but kept a NVIDIA call. Of course.
Well I guess now that everyone is talking about GLD and SLV in this chat it’s time for a pullback
GLD to 1000 because monopoly money
GLD gonna come back down to earth and SLV will fly towards the moon.
I know. But I couldn't risk GLD dipping back to the 370's before 12/31 then I would have locked in a much much larger loss.
GLD are you hearing this: "Trump says US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela"?
So COIN, GLD calls for now and QQQ, MU and NVDA once the pullback happens. Those are my plays right now. Maybe BMY calls tomorrow. Any other ideas?
You can buy Gold or Silver ETF calls (IAU GLD SLV) or, better, buy calls for the companies who mine it. Their value has not gone up as much as the mineral, which is typical during gold rushes. They go up later when reporting their earnings, and some have gone 50-100X in value in the previous gold rushes. My plays are SIL SILJ and GDX, OTM leaps
ok good enough. now i just hope GLD moves a few more bucks.
GLD calls 😂 https://preview.redd.it/tvs5c2s57g6g1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f01b26146dfdc609e8ff54c3d84b3547301320cf
12 GLD 361 for 12/31 bought for $31.85 back on 11/12. Another good day or two it would have profited but approaching expiration and some of those days holidays I couldn't risk another retreat on gold with that little time left.
STC 12 @ $29.30 BTO 12 @ $23.60 Total balance decreased from $40,900 and change to $40,770 now $40,342 because GLD dipped at the end. CB on the new contracts is $28,327 and cash increased by $6,824 and the available to trade is the full cash balance of $12,382. I think where I am confused is when I saw a credit I assumed I was realizing a $2,900 loss, being credited $6824 and was expecting to see a total balance of $44,824 reflecting the difference.
Is it the same for a long call though? I sold to close GLD for a $2900 loss, bought to open at a higher and later strike for $6900 credit. My cash balance did increase, are you saying the credit isn't available to me until I close the new trade?
Is GLD going to try and jump to 400 by eow?
GLD and SLV gonna rocket
people hedgin with GLD
SPY puts were very wrong. However, GLD calls are making it up.
Fk you GLD. Back off the watchlist slut. Get with SPY or negative beta it. Make up your mind!
GLD must be suffering from whiplash at this point
Someone tell GLD that QE is back
So i'm chasing an old trade? Should I sell out of my GLD position then?
GLD moon already you old hag
Come on GLD, wake that limp dick up!
it’s the holidays, of course it’s about SLV and GLD
They’re gonna cut, so bearish on SPY bullish on GLD
GLD why you sucky so much, get up there. I love Gooooollllldddddd
Are we all expecting GLD to rally?
Just for the record. $GLD and $SLV both got hammered as well on Dec 18th 2024.
I bought IONQ at 60 and GLD(not a stock) at 388 - both just holding till they go up
If SLV keeps outpacing GLD I’m gonna teleport to the 80s or something
GLD +.6% before 2pm EST pls ;)
Entirely playing for a pullback. Not holding a long time. I am actually a shiny metal bull and banked off GLD. Out now
Lol, GLD at levels we haven’t seen since last month
Call me crazy but I'm 50% VGT 10% SMH 15% FTEC 10% INTL 5% GLD
Maybe I should’ve invested in SLV instead of GLD last month. FML
GLD recently is like an abusive ex who I can’t stop coming back to
GLD 400 calls for rate cut? 🤔
Buy all SLV and GLD dips and wait
GLD come on man hit 400
GLD is such a cock tease. Pump followed by dump everyday.
SLV and GLD are, don’t buy paper metal but metal metal. Premiums are indicating that spot is higher than it seems.
Too much uncertainty for GLD not to run today
GLD will fall to about 380 and then pump
Yeah, gold was a beast over the last year, until Oct 20th. But for some reason I didn't pick up on silver. Probably because it was choppier than gold. [GLD vs SLV, YTD to 20Oct](https://imgur.com/a/b6l2mdz) I rode gold through Liberation (from your money) Day, and was glad it responded the way it did. But that drop in silver, ugh. Although it came back in about 2 months, and then continued to work its way up as gold stagnated through the summer. And silver wins on the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month lookbacks. How were you playing them? Shares or options?
Funny u mention SLV! I have done quite well over the past year with it (and GLD).
You're welcome, and thanks for all the ideas you packed into this reply. I added some more content to my OP about managing the long Calls, if you want to have a look. I get it with the CCs, and that's a debate I've been having with myself for the past couple months. I do see that they cap gains, but I also like that they buffer dips to an extent. So I see them as helping to even out the peaks and valleys a little. But I have gotten stricter with keeping them below 15-delta (a 2-SD move is 16-delta, right?), and they're behaving a little better. GLD, ohmygosh! I got in it big-time in March, with 90-day and longer Calls at 80-delta (I wasn't doing LEAPS yet), and my God, the leverage! Can I share [a screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/schwab-account-statement-11oct25-BLwTnhq) with you? Don't look at that if I can't! That's the best I've ever done in 3 months, and it was mostly due to GLD. I gave back about 25% of that when gold decided to get off the escalator on 10/20, but that's alright, it was exhilarating. Equities: if you mean stocks, I've given up on them. Only ETFs for me from now on. Because with the leverage of LEAPS Calls, you can make a good-trending ETF give stock-like returns without the single-issue risk. But rather than sit on cash until the correction that's bound to come comes, I wish you'd consider finding momentum ETFs. XBI has been good to me for almost 7 weeks now, and I can still recommend it.
Thank you for this. Much of it is familiar from your previous posts but it’s still helpful to read it again. Your discussion of how to handle getting exercised in a pmcc is super helpful. I can’t bring myself to sell cc’s because I hope that everything I buy Leaps on will go to the moon. (One thing kind of did, GLD.) I’m mostly looking for large gains, so I really don’t want to cap them. I focus on large gains because I’m putting only a small portion of my portfolio at risk (about 12%), and small gains won’t move the needle. I am hesitant to buy Leaps on equities because I expect a significant economic and market downturn. I don’t trust the competence of the people who are managing the economy. If the market falls substantially, leverage makes it worse of course. I’m almost completely out of equities at this point.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang(Joe Dirt's voice). I love it when you say balls!! I'm glad i'm on the right side as you on GLD though. 400C 12/19 expiry
Is GLD at least rocketing?
What will GLD do tomorrow?
Why GLD CALLS are more expensive than PUTS?
I was taking it easy with just SPY and GLD LEAPS these past years. Due to my limited math skills and 0 ability to read balance sheets. Couldn’t be happier with my many handicaps
Believe it or not, calls (GLD GDX SIL SLV)
i thought GLD was supposed to be a hedge against SPY. why do they move in tandem? tf am i supposed to buy when i'm feeling a little 🌈🐻?
who knows how to trade GLD for the next two days?
What's on everyone's financial wish lists this year? Mine is GLD over 400.
Thanks. Monday GLD surge to $394
Gork's investment advice to me is simple and crude: now is the best window for "cash → gold+silver+mining stocks", and before the interest rate cut is implemented on December 10th, fill up your position and hold onto it until Q2 of 2026. If you want to be more aggressive, just buy a 4500 call option on gold that expires in June 2026, with leverage of more than 10 times. If you want stability, just buy physical gold bars/coins+GLD In short, all in precious metals, take it with your eyes closed.

I think we are entering modestly high inflation at 2.5%-3.0% CPI while labor productivity continues to surge from AI, spatial web and robotics factories. Inflation hedges are hard assets: Gold buy GLD or GDX Real estate by Realty Income (O) or Federal Realty Trust (FRT) Crypto buy IBIT
Dropped all my SLV about a week ago when it went over $51. Still have my GLD, but will start selling when it reaches $405 or so (previous ath is like 409). Will sell in batches as it passes $409 and will dump it all by the time it reaches $420. Silver is currently being played with so I decided to get out and when Gold goes that high again, they will start to play with that which means time to get out.
Im proceeding with caution. What that looks like for me is: selling (or avoiding buying) stocks with extreme valuations/no profit not being too quick to buy dips More exposure through indexes than individual stocks. But im still long tech, not selling my BTC/ETH, staying long GLD/SILJ.
Theoretically, if ETFs or funds like GLD, SLV, PHYS, PSLV etc. could issue more flexible (transactable) "shares" (e.g. via the stable coin mechanism), it could make a dent. The problem is that their vaults reside in jurisdictions, where the insane western governments could start going after the physical assets. We have a precedent for that in Executive Order 6102.
Very nice. You accomplished this mostly on just doing 3 month calls on META and GLD?!
Options only. Earlier in the year I froze up from selling NVDA when it dropped big, was down to $40k, went all in on SPY PUTS on Liberation Day, doubled up, been riding META and GLD since, plus some HOOD
VGT, VYMI, and GLD is all you need.
GLD doesn't move the price of gold. GLD is setup to match gold spot price. The GLD Trust will use arbitrage to make adjustments (share dilution or buybacks) to maintain correlation with gold price. Gold price will be determine by commodity exchange markets, they set the price base on global demands.
The Chinese central bank holds more than 2-3x as much gold as GLD does. Indian households own 30x as much ($3.8T) gold as GLD does. So if you think GLD moves the price of gold much, **you could be right**. GLD is far more liquid than gold bars and gold jewelry. GLD trades about 46 tonnes worth of gold **each day** \-- 7x more than the Chinese central bank purchased in all of Q3. Indian households buy about 750 tonnes of gold per year. GLD volume is equivalent to 11000 tonnes per year.
Nah you probably don't want to trade futures you could lose a lot of money doing that .My brother was a gold trader on the floor down at the Comex a long time ago before it all went electronic it was open outcry pits like if you ever saw the movie Trading Places but anyone on the floor had a huge advantage over anyone sitting in their house trying to make money trading those gold futures especially at the close of the day when certain banks were trying to manipulate the closing price they could just jump in front of the order flow stick to GLD or SLV for silver
I made like 200k in 6 weeks off IREN and RGTI. Have large positions in GLD and SILJ and now we wait
They did GLD bulls dirty today
What do I gotta comment to get GLD to 400 then?
GLD you fucking dicktease will you ever get to 390?
wtf is GLD doing, move you yellow bitch.
I've noticed that the stock is basically just leveraged fartcoins just like the gold miners etf is just leveraged GLD
GLD being flat today is making me sad.
Here what I bet is gonna happen next week: the fed does not drop interest rates because of lack of recent data. Powel is then gonna be fired and then gold eventually skyrockets. I’m loaded with GLD leaps.
Wish I had liquidity for this discount on GLD
The cuck peace trophy is bigger than the world cup trophy. Calls on GLD
GLD took me out back behind the shed ☠️
Shorted more GLD at 391.5, SLV at 53.8; pull-back of precious metals is imminent.
