wtf so much random shit in this post… when are the Olympics over? I think that’s when the bombs drop in Iran. GLD, CVX 🚀
buy GLD it's still not too late monday open 🥇
Sector rotation on progress might make that a bad idea. Do GLD calls instead. NFA
Here is the Issue here, Someone says "Physical Gold/Silver" 50% of people think Gold/Silver Coins/Bars Nuggets, etc... The other 50% think ETFs- GLD/SLV/SIVR/IAU/IGLN, etc... instead of ones that track Gold Miners GDX/GDXJ, etc.. and other forms. So with all that said, I say you should try Apmex or JMbullion and see if they will cut an American Eagle $50 coin in 2/3 and sell you. Then you will have \~$3,500 of 'REAL' Physical Gold in the actual Palm of your hand...
More or less, I'd say the current market can ignore fundamentals for vibes but longer dated calls for sure. Looking at how cheap those weeklies can be compared to going farther out is a siren's song. I will say with SLV I started with going for two weeks out since I couldn't afford a lot but as I gained more I went further out and by January I was setting calls for March and when I switched to GLD I pushed out till May. The moment I went against that strategy due to greed and bought a bunch of weeklies hoping for one more quick pop was what nuked me.
So GLD is new BCASH in the worst way possible and everyone shit posting crypto got a bonner
Turned $1,200 in SLV calls in early December into GLD calls in Mid-January. Ended up with $140k at the end of Jan and instead of holding back I full ported more GLD calls on Jan 29th and that went....poorly. Lost around $97k immediately and another $15k trying to catch the falling knife. I didn't really like how that felt so I pulled all positions out and took a day to just breathe. I ended up jumping back in and making a bit off SNDK calls and rolled that profit into CATcalls. I ended up back at around $70k before pulling out $15k so in case I fucked everything up I'd still have something to show for it. Currently on a losing streak again, been hovering around $40k most of the week until Friday where I dropped to $36k and now await Northrop Grumman to either blow up or blow me up. I do love a good 0dte story, but full porting is insane to me after nuking most of my account on GLD so I'll throw a hundred bucks or so at some earnings weeklies or maybe twenty bucks or so at a stupid SPY 0dte in case of a Black/White swan event but going forward I've just decided if I'm going to lose all my money here it won't be on straight up gambling but entering a longer term position I actually think will succeed and being wrong. I'd rather be wrong and learn from it than blame bad luck and keep pushing it.
I’d liquidate the portfolio and buy GLD personally.
Time for GLD and SLV ATH
Even that groveler knows that if you run any business, you cannot effectively future-plan your business at all when tariffs flop around like a live, reeled-in fish on a deck. I'm not joking when I say this, I think this is like the 300th time mangpedo's changed tariff percentages. This from a supposed "genius businessman" that doesn't even know how *percentages* works, much less tariffs. GLD 420c and 460c 3/19/27
I have seven, GLD 420 and 460 3/19/27 calls, but I wish I would have bought even more on Tuesday after that inexplicable, dumb drop on gold over the 3-day weekend. Fiat currencies are getting mauled, the U.S. is in a de facto recession, and stagflation is here to stay. Protecc yo necks, fam.
on robinhood yes, no spx or spy tho. GOOG, SLV, GLD, MU, and SNDK were the big winners
For covered calls, you can get away with knowing delta and theta which you stated in one of your replies that you know and understand which is confirming that you do use the Greeks in some way. However, if you also understand vega, that might enhance your bottom line. For example, if you sell options when vega is in your favor (high IV=juicier premiums) you will take in more premium as opposed to when vega is unfavorable (low IV). The low IV trades can still end up with a profit if the underlying goes slightly up, down or sideways. For more advanced strategies that involves buying and selling options with multiple legs and different strikes with various expiration dates, it is crucial to use Greeks. Sometimes it could be a single leg option like a long call. You see posts all the time where someone is asking why did my 14 DTE call option lose money during earnings even though the stock went up over 2 weeks. This trader probably didn’t understand vega and theta or they wouldn’t be asking that question. Other strategies that would need a thorough understanding of the Greeks to CONSISTENTLY make money are long straddles and strangles, long diagonals, calendar spreads, iron condors and back spreads just to name a few. IMO, vega is one of the more crucial Greeks to know and understand whether you are a buyer or seller. It can make things “easier” if it is working in your favor. For example, when GLD recently went from 509 to 422, I opened an IC on day 2 of the collapse because IV spiked. I wasn’t lucky enough to pick the bottom. It continued to drop the next day. I entered the IC when GLD was at 470 and it went to 422 the very next day. However, because IV spiked on the day I opened the trade, I was able to choose really far OTM short strikes and the market priced it with a decent premium. The drop the next day didn’t do much to my position in terms of P/L. But it started to profit almost immediately when GLD stopped dropping. GLD has stabilized since and I closed out the trade for a profit.
> rapid depreciation of the U.S. dollar. Well, shit. Time to get those sweet GLD calls loaded up.
Sold my GLD calls when it dumped on the court's announcement 😶 fek
GLD 700 before SPY, probably
wow GLD up another 1.15 after hours just for good measure
I sold out on my GLD calls just before close. I honestly think Trump would be stupid to bomb Iran this weekend. It's Ramadan and the Olympics ends on Sunday. If he bombed Iran during Ramadan it would piss off his new Arab allies on the BOP (Bored of Piece) because it would be 'disrespectful' to quote my significant other.
the chinese back from their holiday on monday, expect SLV & GLD to pump even more
Lots of GLD calls hitting the tape going into close. Get on in; the water's fine.
I mean, I could double down on GLD again if its gonna keep doing that
My dumbass brought spy calls instead of GLD and SLV calls like I wanted to this morning
Yo will my GLD 500 calls expiring in 15 minutes print?
SLV & GLD rocketing... is something happen over the weekend? lol
thinking about apeing into GLD and SLV calls over the weekend. Thoughts fellow regards?
Only holding GLD calls
!banbet $GLD 470 2hrs
Was going to hold SLV and GLD calls thru the weekend, but I took the 30% gain from today. I’m not holding over this 🤡 weekend.
The eating boogers aspect aside..... If you're holding physical platinum. Then it's not part of your "portfolio". It's part of your asset mix, count towards you net worth. and you can use it as a hedge.... But it's not instant liquidity >!(I'm in a PM adjacent industry where I have actually exited physical PMs before. It probably takes 2-3 days minimum and likely 5-7days in reality going from physical bar to cash/check to checking to brokerage)!<, nor can you leverage against it say with margin when you hold GLD/SLV, and you can't sell options on them either.
Don't understand why GLD dumped the way it did on the tariff decision. Shouldn't it have gone higher due to the US government now having to (hopefully) refund tariffs causing them to raise more money through bonds and ~~taxes~~, further destroying their credit rating and the dollar? Am I missing something or just regarded?
GLD dumped hard on ruling and now they right back up lol
whoever had that 3dte GLD call could be ITM depending when he bought tbh
Dawg what is going on with GDX? When GLD was at $464 before the SCOTUS ruling, GDX was at $105. Now GLD is back to $464 and GDX can't break $103.50.
I know you can’t see it on the daily but GLD went red for a sec on that release
Was holding otm 3dte GLD calls when this tariff shtf. No stop set, app(fidelity) LITERALLY FUCKING CRASHED on the first red candle as I refreshed the trade screen to panic sell. Holy shit the iv pop saved my ass though and I sold at +3% lol. Probably should've just held through, but ima step back and let my leaps do the work lmao.
I just buy GLD every time it dips hard and I make money. It’s that simple
I doubt he will care about the ruling, Bullish for GLD
Fuck I didn’t sell my GLD calls in time lmao 150% to 10% gains in a blink of an eye LMAO
Widening trade about to pull the late Q1 pull back to mag 7, dividend aristocrats, and GLD early as the alpha hunters are coming back home.
GLD trading suspended at Merrill Lynch...
Guess who bought 30k of MSFT Calls before earnings instead of piling into GLD. Guess who's picking up extra shifts at work.
GLD probably 700 before SPY
I only recently rotated out of SPY. I held a large position of SPY and QQQ for several years like I do GLD now If you read my post. And no one holds 100% of one ETF. Since 2024 the models have rotated out US to GLD and international. Which is what the original post was about. GLD is up 90% since September 2024
Day 11 waiting for GLD to reach $700
GLD, NVDA, META, APPL, your favorite uranium stock might take like 2 weeks but you'll be up
what makes a man turn neutral? a lust for GLD? or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality
I trade actively. I’m not a buy and holder. I use active trend and momentum rules based models and combine 3 models with weighted allocations for each model depending on aggressiveness. This is the allocation right now. I’ve been mostly in GLD since September 2024. It’s full rotated out of US equities since Nov/dec when there were still some small positions but since January those sold out and into all international. My CAGR with the models since January 2020 is 13%. It’s been trimming gold lately but it’s still well above everything else for the last two years. EWJ Japan Equities 7.73% GLD Gold 34.76% IEFA International Equities 8.33% IEMG Emerging Market Equities 19.83% SCZ Intl Small Cap Equities 20.00% VNQI International Real Estate 4.34% CASH Cash 5.00%
YTD. EWJ is 12% GLD is 15%. All the other internationals like VEA are around 8% +. Last year was awesome. This year should be the same because of dum dum. Sell off all US equity it’s gonna be a dog for a decade.
USO SLV or GLD whichever options are cheaper that close Monday for a weekend middle east kinetic volatility play.
Keep holding these oil futures, OTM USO call weeklies, gold futures, OTM GLD call monthlies, and CVNA FD puts
Meh. BTC is the only crypto worth a shit right now if you ask me. Kind of like when GLD traded sideways for years, SLV was even more useless until GLD went up.
Bought GLD 465 expiring tomorrow incase 🥭wants to give Iran an early birthday gift tonight
Buy ***$GLD*** calls. last time sayin it god bless
I have consolidated my port into three holdings: $NBIS $RKLB $GLD. I don't even like $RKLB or $GLD that much honestly. just $NBIS. love $NBIS.
This these GLD 455 Puts are cooked? Exp tomorrow
Imagine buying literally anything other than SLV or GLD today.
GLD probably 700 before SPY
Is it too late to go all in on GLD🧐
yeah so i'm probably just gonna ape into more $GLD in a very roaring kitty fashion & if i'm right mom duke won't have to work anymore.
Day 10 waiting for GLD to reach $700
Then how come GLD isn’t going up?
GLD is structured as a gold ETF so it gets taxed like a collectible, which catches a lot of people off guard. That’s one reason some stick with physical coins like Gold American Eagles from places such as Thor Metals Group, since the structure is different than holding shares.
GLD and SLV will moon
I am about half stocks, half real estate, currently two investment properties in Mexico on AirBNB plus my home in Las Vegas. If you want to own gold, look at the ETFs GLD (gold futures) and GDX (gold miners).
Buying some GLD lottos, 2 weeks out. Let's see if I an retire off this Iran war.
GLD and SLV to the moon
Just loaded 20% of my account into GLD 465c exp 02/20. Wish me luck
GLD calls over the weekend I think are the lowest risk
GLD 465c exp 02/20 **Trust**
Hold my 460 GLD calls?
I need GLD to surpass 460 already wtf
I ban betted GLD to reach 460 by friday, and it did but the banbet mod is not announcing it!!!
GLD down 3.5% yesterday was an absolute joke. I hope you picked up that bargain.
Hah, as it turns out, I am holding 3 day old 20 Feb GLD calls
No , whenever GLD drops $8-$12 , buy calls expiring in 3 days , it always recovers and you make your money , yesterday gold dropped to $4850 now it’s back at $4950
SLV and GLD both spiked, somethings wrong I can feel it
Yeah, I see your point, I don't want to hold physical gold, but what about having 5-7% of your portfolio in an etf like GLD? Historically, this would have helped in inflationary periods like 1969-1983 or flat periods like 2000-2010. I'm thinking of GLD, like i think of VXUS, most of the time VXUS lags VTI, especially the last 25 years - I don't want to hear about last year's VXUS overperformance- for the last 25 years (I'm using this timeframe because I started learning about and investing in this timeframe, so using personal experience) VTI equivalent returned 9.2%, VXUS equivalent 6.38. To my eyes and experience, VTI crushes VXUS, so why bother, but I also know that there are many 10-20 year periods where VXUS beat VTI, like 1969-1983 and 2000-2010, so I hold VXUS, to help my portfolio during those periods. The argument can be made that holding 5-7% GLD for a similar period will help the portfolio, if we hit inflation or a flat period in US equities, which will happen again at some point. History may not repeat, but it does rhyme, especially if USA continues isolationist and tariff policies.
Just 5% more and I'll be back to the entry on my GLD leaps lol
Day 9 waiting for GLD to reach $700
I'm rooting for you (and my GLD calls)
You pay 10% or more over spot to buy physical and take a 10% haircut when you sell, so imo it’s better to buy Leap calls on $SLV and $GLD
GLD prob gonna shoot past 500 during the summer
