You have an investing account? Learn as much as you can about personal finance, debt, investing, and compounding returns. At your age I would really advocate for a heavily weighted portfolio of equities. Leveraged ETFs if you can stomach it. Something like TQQQ but QQQ if you really don’t want leverage. Hedge with GLD, ZROZ, and CTA. Those are precious metals (gold), long term US treasury bonds, and managed futures respectively. They serve to hedge your main position of equities and provide dry powder when equities are down.

Dollar getting smoked. GLD calls it is

Mentions:#GLD

I'm so glad you responded the way you did, sounds like you really want to learn. I almost offered you something else in my last post, but I thought it would come off a bit presumptuous. Books are still the best way to learn things; as a teacher you know that. This one is solid, and well-reviewed on Amazon: Options for the Beginner and Beyond, by Professor Olmstead of Northwestern University. You'll probably recognize that as a very prestigious university. And Olmstead was The Options Professor for 10 years, running a website and newsletter and whatnot. Anyway, you don't need to read a lot of it to learn what I posted before: **Read Chapters 1 through 6,** which gets you to LEAPS. Just 52 pages. (Call options a year or more out are called LEAPS, but they're no different than any other Calls you buy, like the one I described in my 1st post.) Then **add Chapter 14**, Covered Calls. That's just 5 more pages. You'll have it all read and re-read on the flight over. What broker are you with? If Schwab, open the ThinkOrSwim platform, and at the login pick the Paper Money side. Then practice, practice, practice. It works just like the real money side. I'm almost all-in on gold with about 50k, and I don't hesitate to recommend it. GLD is good, IAU is cheaper. In Paper Money it won't matter (trade in a Margin account, not IRA; select at the top center if I remember right). Buy some LEAPS Calls, sell Calls against them. Get the mechanics of it down. Figure out the leverage like I did above. Calculate potential ROIs as I did above. One thing I haven't mentioned about CCs is to take them off at half of max profit. Maybe you already know that. Right after you sell them, set up a Good Till Cancelled (GTC) Buy To Close (BTC) order. That automates things and takes emotion out of the closing decision. If/when the short Calls are challenge, **read Chapter 7**, Assignment Anxiety. Learn why you don't have to be afraid of that for quite a while. Try to roll when the Delta of the short Calls gets to 40, and certainly by 50. Always roll for a credit, even if tiny. Where are you going in Spain? My wife and I are retiring to Alicante province next spring. East coast, below Valencia.

I’m going to challenge you, as it seems like you are making this seem more than what it is, a gamble that paid off. > The reason for the entry was clear, I've been tracking GLD lately and noticed that it's in oversold territory to some degree. Okay? What signal did you see yesterday that told you to buy 1DTE puts?? You were obviously right, but thinking gold “oversold” and translating that to 1DTE puts is quite the jump, no? >With the significant volatility in the gold market, I saw an opportunity. I'm always looking for a quick bounce or stabilization, which is why I chose puts. And that opportunity was a quick gamble? >Based on my analysis of support/resistance levels What timeframe? 24 hour chart? 5 hour chart? 1 week chart? >and overall market sentiment What chart do you use for this? >The setup is clear and straightforward. Is it? Really? >It's always important to keep an eye on timing and momentum I agree, it totally is. > maintain a flexible exit I don’t think that is true, and I think most people would say that you should have an exit strategy before you enter a trade.

Mentions:#GLD

do you think there is more downside to be had on GLD?

Mentions:#GLD

Thank you for your question! To clarify: I'm bearish on GLD. when I say “oversold”, I mean that GLD has fallen significantly and I expect it to continue to fall in the short term, not bounce back up. The “bounce” I refer to is a rapid decline in price (which makes puts more valuable), not calls. My goal was to capitalize on the short-term downward momentum, hence the use of puts. I hope this clarifies some things! Thanks for your feedback.

So is GLD now oversold, or do you see further downside?

Mentions:#GLD

I see your play, and nice! But I don't understand your words: were you bullish or bearish? One would think bearish, since you bought Puts, so you wanted/expected GLD to go down. But you said "oversold," which usually means one expects buying pressure: GLD goes up, Puts go down. You also said you were looking for a "bounce," so again, bullish. And "stabilization" doesn't help Puts or Calls, only neutral trades like ICs. You made a trade and you got a good outcome, but it's not clear from your words that that was your thesis. Thoughts?

Mentions:#GLD

I will continue to follow GLD but will not necessarily trade and must be prepared to adjust to what is happening. We can talk if you need to.

Mentions:#GLD

Are you still trading GLD next time? Care to share your plans for next time?

Mentions:#GLD

Good luck with your GLD holdings, man! It's always wise to hedge, especially with the volatility in gold. Europe's demand for gold to return has certainly added some interesting pressure to the market. If it leads to a tightening of supply, it could generate more bullish sentiment. Keep an eye on any short-term price action as well, there could be some nice volatility! If you have any interesting insights, we can discuss them together!

Hi, thanks for replying. I'm always up for a good discussion. (I'm 61 and have been using options for a few years, and stocks, ETFs, and Mutual Funds much longer. Just to give you an idea of who I am.) "Time loss premium of the **long** Call"? I'm not following. "The entire point of a poor man's Call is that you can exercise it to cover your short Call." I dunno, maybe? For me, the point of the long Call is to act as a *stock substitute*. Then since we should all mostly be selling CCs against *stock* we own, we should go ahead and sell CC's against this long Call. That's how I view the PMCC, anyway. I guess you and others may view it differently. A "stock" position with extra juice from CCs. And most people can't sell naked Calls, hence the "poor man's" way of getting into them without having to buy shares. Sorry, I wasn't accusing you of not posting Deltas, it's just that in that one specific reply I couldn't tell. When you made the post it would've been self-evident, because you and the OP knew the price of GLD. Later here you say you're aggressive on PM**CC**s, and that's what it looked like to me with those strikes (265/285). More on that in a minute. 30-delta CSPs at 30-45DTE, that's pure TastyTrade, and I'm with you on that. Though I lean hard on 30 days, and will often do 28. 20-delta on "real" CCs: why? TT says 30 there too, I think. So as not to lose shares? I roll CCs so I don't lose shares. OR long Calls. I know there are 2 camps on rolling, and maybe you're in the other one? Which might be why you said you never buy back short Calls (or Puts) for a loss, you accept assignment. Two camps on that too, I guess: those who do that, and those who roll. What specifically do have against selling another Call further out that pays for buying back the current one? (Which is what rolling is, of course.) The long Call went up more than the short Call did, so it's not locking in a loss on the overall position. It's just selling more time premium against that (now more-valuable) long Call to allow time for the short Call to either time-decay to where it can be bought back, or for the stock to pull back and suck extrinsic value out of it that way. Lots of ways to skin a cat, of course.

Sold SPY covered calls and GLD puts at EOD... let's see how this plays out.

Mentions:#SPY#GLD

Professor, I read a reply of yours recently where you said you've made money month after month for over 5 years, so I'm digging through your posts to see what you're up to. I came across this, and you gave a goog explanation of the PMCC. I trade GLD too, so that's another reason I read it. I wish you'd have put Deltas in your explanation, rather than strike prices that now 3 months later we can't put in context. But it does sound like you'd buy at 80-delta, so I was glad to see that. I wanted to challenge you a bit on your last paragraph though: >God forbid it does go above your monthly strike price, you can exercise your long call to cover the short call with minimal loss. Two things: 1) This trade is NEVER a loss. In fact, it's Max Profit for how you set it up. Buying back the short Call hurts, but the long Call went up more, so what you feel you 'lost' on the short you more than gained in the long (because of their Deltas). 2) We never EXERCISE a long Call because it still has time premium in it that you forfeit Even up to the last week, and even if it's fairly deep ITM, it's going to have at least a little bit of time/extrinsic value. I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I wanted to clarify those two points for anyone who might come along later.

Hi everyone, I’ve been learning about investing over the past few weeks through YouTube and articles. I’m still a beginner and have made a few changes as I understood more. I’d really appreciate your honest feedback on my current setup. I’m 32 years old and investing for the long term (5–20 years). My goal is to grow wealth steadily and eventually build passive income. Here’s my current portfolio based on a €120/month investment plan: VWCE – 40% (€48) IS3N – 12% (€14.40) LOCK.DE – 12% (€14.40) ZPRG – 12% (€14.40) IDVY – 8% (€9.60) XAIX.DE – 10% (€12.00) 4GLD / IGLN – 6% (€7.20) Would love to hear what you think. Does this look balanced? Anything you’d adjust? Thanks!

Mentions:#DE#XAIX#GLD

What makes investing so hard is that it's \*both\* about having an edge and about managing your own emotions. You cannot need succeed unless you have both of these ingredients. One way to determine whether or not you have edge is to compare your own performance (without using leverage) with a plain-vanilla diversified fund. Consider a portfolio with 50% bonds (AGG), 30% SPY, 20% GLD. It sounds very simple, but it has performed very well over decades of data. The returns are about 7%/year and the maximum loss is -15%. Being a long-term investor in such a portfolio requires no personal edge (the edge comes from time), but requires only psychology. This means being able to sit still and watch it grow slowly over long periods of time. Perhaps start there and then work your way up?

Mentions:#AGG#SPY#GLD

I think many people have this idea that there is a binary outcome: either status quo or apocalypse. I think it could be somewhere in between. So far I am only holding GLD/IAU as a hedge against further dollar devaluation. The bullion depository location vary but include London, NY, and Zurich. Anywhere short of collapse of the financial system or something like a war preventing redemption (and thus accurate market value) of the ETFs, physical gold is probably inferior to paper gold. For me, GLD has been great in reducing volatility in my portfolio which has been good psychologically.

But the gold held in your name, say in GLD ETF, is still there, right? Unless trust in paper records breaks down completely and you can't make your claim. In that case, I think we have much bigger problems and even holding physical gold may not help.

I bought bullion in 2001 and haven't transacted since. At the time, physical PM ETFs (like SGOL, CEF and AAAU) didn't exist. The gold has kept up with the S&P 500 over the past 24 years, the much smaller silver investment has lagged. Physical metals are insurance against collapse of the paper metals markets, and more generally, fiat currencies. The metal futures exchanges underlying the paper ETFs only have reserves covering a tiny fraction of the value of ETFs that hold only futures contracts (GLD, IAU, SLV). In the past couple of years, a number of "whales" have stood for delivery on the LME and COMEX, withdrawing gold and silver to be transferred to their own vaults. This is frowned upon by the exchanges, but for foreign central banks or billionaires, can be a cost effective way to accumulate or to arbitrage between the exchanges. The interval between standing for delivery and actual delivery has lengthened from days to months. Ultimately, when there's *no* physical underlying the futures exchanges, the ruse will be up. What's the value of GLD or IAU then? I think selected precious metals miners are better investments than physical PMs now, and that where my interest has been for the past year. I'm planning on selling a portion of the gold (eagles) and all the silver (pre-1964 coins) and when the prices hit targets well above current, more for rebalancing than for need. And yes, one can walk into any coin shop and get a price near spot for them. I bought for small premiums above spot (\~$280 and 4.80/oz, respectively) 24 years ago, but at present, coin shop bids above spot are a pipe dream, due to short term market imbalances (Americans are liquidating their holdings, even as Chinese and Indians accumulate). Should individual investor demand return in the US (as during the pandemic and in past PM cycles), the premiums will as well.

Physical is guaranteed. GLD is still paper equity. Could be fake and drop 30%

If you haven't "bought a book in a store" (or read one from your library), you don't understand options yet. Youtube alone isn't going to get you there. Here's a book that's very solid, and very approachable. It's written by a Professor at a prestigious university. It may not the absolute best, but it's far from the worst. Mainly I offer it to people because I was able to find it online as a pdf. But it's still for sale, and has [4.6 stars on 25 Amazon reviews.](https://www.amazon.com/Options-Beginner-Beyond-Opportunities-Minimize-ebook/dp/B088X17JMB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=VGOXF6172ZGQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QrinpjzLfMn5tHdtQfR3QXS3EtR2hU2RQ1OpByf1iFoHSpaTjOqGijL1ucPMrc4J6W5-xHf4TEuIDKMjWx8LxaEYZp0u9oCmOpOCZmpRbap95qn-2elD61Y-JR3HQaXbiPD2N8JLls8G1Md13Wf7t1zARryrj0aV_ID7M_Uz73gws8Xn8qZ2evKACrj0ZsaoSMR6mUoRJ_KThQx_wTIIjJIdB7-Q3QiF9AtK8uCMZew.xMjY_bftdlZZpBufztSmUXJz7JwxeK2LYP3znNecDdg&dib_tag=se&keywords=options+for+the+beginner+and+beyond&qid=1750708938&sprefix=options+for+the+be%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1) If you like the pdf, consider buying a copy to support the author: [Options for the Beginner and Beyond,](https://www.r-5.org/files/books/trading/schoolbooks/W_Edward_Olmstead-Options_for_the_Beginner_and_Beyond-EN.pdf) by Professor Olmstead of Northwestern University. Don't let the word 'Beginner' turn you off; the 'Beyond' part is beyond what you or I as retail traders need to know. . Would you mind if I offered you some direction? Take it or leave it, but after trading options for 4 or 5 years and trying all the strategies, I've come back to the one I should've started with. Do you buy stocks now? If so, why? Because you expect them to go up, right? So do that with options, think like a longer-term trader by buying Calls. Calls at 80-delta, a year or more out. Those are called LEAPS. Read Chapters 1-6 of the book, skipping over Puts for now. By Chapter 6 he's gotten you to LEAPs. Only 52 pages, should take you only 2 or 3 hours. But read every word, understand every concept. *You're setting yourself up for financial success for the rest of your life.* Take it seriously. Buy a LEAPS call at 80-delta on a solid company or ETF. (Gold is good; GLD is my favorite for liquidity, but IAU is cheaper.) Have you ever sold Covered Calls against stocks you own? We should all be selling CCs against our stocks. Read Chapter 14, Covered Calls. *You can sell a Call against a Call you own*, it doesn't have to be 100 shares. It's called a Diagonal Call Spread. If the long leg is a LEAPS though, they call it a Poor Man's Covered Call, same thing.
