Anybody got calls on GLD. Gahhhhdammmit I should’ve bought qqq puts
Say what you want but at some point GLD is going to moon because of inflation
Let's say you're right. I fired off half of my dry powder buying $VXUS, $VT, $EWJ bouncing off their 200 DMA and $GLD bouncing off its 100 DMA. I could have waited & I did BTD too soon. But i don't need this dry powder today. I still have a job and 6 months of emergency cash. Cheers : )
$TLT rallied today. $GLD was basically flat. People were buying assets besides just Crude Oil, today. I believe we've hit the bottom. At the very least, selling exhaustion is starting to set in.
My trail stops tripped on GLD & XLE. Still holding strong on USO though.
I don’t know how to play GLD or USO. I’ll stick to what I know. LOSING MONEY ON SPY
Yes I have it inside of a category now I will prolly seek out long term investment with it and treat it like how I treat GLD and VTI
GLD psssf ...what a follower, get ur own life bro.
SPY, DXY, USO, XOM, and GLD are all up bigly. Get fucked, bers.
$VT is trading at 10/10/25 lows; and $SPY is trading at 8/20/25 lows. Many indices including $GLD are hitting support levels where bottoms were formed 2-4x over the past 52 weeks - 2yrs. $SPY and $VT have had 4 straight weeks of loses. Nothing goes down in a straight line forever. And looking long term, is it more likely that all the World CB's print more or less money in the future? Is it more or less likely that the $10k in cash you have stashed in your savings account will buy more or less stuff 1-5 yrs from today?? Is it more or less likely that the price of $SPY, $VT, or $GLD will be lower or higher 1-5 years ago than today? Please don't let politics influence your long term financial decisions. There will be a different POTUS in office 2 and half years from today and likely yet another different POTUS in office 6 and half years from today.
Asians were buying gold even though their stocks were dumping today. GLD trade is back?
I can't believe i missed my chance to buy GLD calls at $400 😔
GLD 700 before SPY, just as I predicted 🤌
Guessing GLD and SLV is gonna take a shit too with SPY
I am down 5%, the only change I made was selling off my GLD holdings and replacing it with oil and gas holdings. In other words I changed my hedge. Gold will be stalled until oil/Iran is stabilized. I don’t consider changes to my core holdings until I am down 10% or more. Even then I usually stand pat until I find a compelling reason to reallocate. I do think the longer this goes and the market reaction could force me to make some changes. I am looking at options.
Yes, I have 5% GLD- not because I like the pretty rock, but because if you look at times when stocks did really poorly , like 1969-1989 or flat eras like 2000-2010, 5% gold really boosted returns- 2% cagr for 1969-1989 and for 2000-2010, 100% us stocks returns .17%, 75% us 25% ex us returned .75%, but just adding 5% gold boosted returns to 1.6%, so basically doubling the return of a global equities portfolio. The downside? Golds cagr since 1969 is 8.6%, so still higher than bonds. Also, I don’t see the US gov slowing printing or balancing the budget anytime soon, so I don’t see how a small allocation of Gld hurts a portfolio
LOL, the Iran War has already covered up the AI tech crash which I like to call dot com 2.0 and also the private credit disaster. But, if you can look through the smoke we are hitting previous support levels on $VT, $VXUS , $GLD and the $SPY that we've previously hit 3-4x going back the prior 52 weeks. Disclosure - 30% $GLD, 20% $VXUS, 20% $TLT, and 10% $EWJ, 10% $VT and 10% $SPY. I'm not smart enough to pick the correct stocks that will bounce after this DXY short squeeze is over. World CB money printers are about to go BRRR......
If you already don’t know, Turkey and the middle east nations selling gazillion tons of GLD to stabilize currency and economy
I did this Thursday with GLD Puts to lose it all on Friday lol
Stupidly overcomplicating it. This is just DCA with extra steps and more decisions. With SPY, QQQ, VIG, and GLD, simplicity usually wins. Lump sum or DCA and move on. Stop fucking with options for no good reason.
I think you're right. I see a bottom somewhere in the GLD 360-375 range according to the long charts
Okay... I blow at Options. I got wrecked last year after I got greedy and then chased all my money away. I came back and dabbled in it. Mainly gold. Took $183 and 10x it then lost some and took the money and ran. I had plans to reinvest into goad for January $500. I didn't do it. I then saw that GLD and SPY are a shit hole, so I looked into VIX. Does this mean I'm dumb and should have just tossed $300 at this instead of just being scared to lose it? https://i.imgur.com/3EVHdIX.jpeg
I have long index positions right now and am bearish on gold… and GLD will be 700 before SPY.
Thank you for taking one for the team Sir. You're a true gentleman. And a scholar?? I'm went puts (well except for GLD, calls there). Don't think they will shape up as well as this $META put from a couple days ago though....I knew I should have sized up an actual position there. 934% overnight. Thank you jurors!!!! And shat-bag lawyers too i guess.... https://preview.redd.it/uozq1hy57qrg1.png?width=1075&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd2ec9574f25208a7532ea42d0670ab6c4a418de
GLD becoming an attractive move again?
I can tell you which stocks in my portfolio went up today, in case you are interested: CEG, FSLR, NXT, XOP, WVE, GLD. I also bought ASTS and GLD today.
Still up $40k YTD thanks to GLD, but down $17k this month so far.
Something big is gonna go down this weekend. Moved back in to GLD on Thursday. At some point oil risk and volatility combined with SPY dumping is going to send it back to December levels.
Gold not being liquidated but pumping is puzzling... USO VIX DXY pumping together meant for the past weeks gold dumping, today those forces are strong yet GLD buyers are stepping in hard Store of value status returning ? Signal that petrodollars collapse begin to be priced in ?
So 40/40/20 vti/vxus/vcx? Thank you, I mean I know I should mainly do that but should I still put aside some (like 5-10%?) to put into stuff like GLD, SLV or whatever stock/ETF for no specific reason/for fun?
I own a lot of silver coins. They are shiny and cool to look at. But silver is a hybrid 50% industrial and 50% monetary metal. In max fear buy $GLD over $SLV. That doesn't mean silver couldn't outperform gold. But it means you are taking on a lot more risk. Especially when Gold's down side is $3400 if it can't hold $4300 over the next couple of weeks.
Agreed, but I am a dumb American. My savings are in USD. My port is now 20% $TLT, 20% VXUS, 20% $EWJ, 30% GLD, and 10% random shit that is going south fast. I still have 30-40% of my dry powder left. I should have put in an order to buy at close if I wasn't such an idiot.
As of right now I'm not really worried about unforseen costs since my father mostly helps with that although definitely once I stop getting support financially I will need a HYSA and I will definitely start slowly cultivating that but my main focus is investing as I want to put as much as I can towards that especially since I don't make too much money/month (around 500-600/month). I currently have 11k in investments, was 12k before in Jan. Planning to put a decent chunk per month or biweekly into whatever in whatever ratio and just let that ride. I'm just unsure of what in specific (stock/ETF) and what ratio. As of now I've just been putting x amount in mostly QQQM, VOO, VTI, VXUS, GLD. But I've seen elsewhere that a good ratio would be something like 60% into VTI (ETF covering the entire US stock market), 30% into VXUS (ETF covering international exposure), 10% into BND (ETF for bond). Which would mean I would stop investing in QQQM, VOO, GLD or at least mostly put all my cash towards VTI, VXUS, bond ETF?
GLD our lord and savior
Why does GLD and SLV go up on random days but down on others?
damn some1 just 10x'd with GLD 415C. shoulda woulda coulda bought @ 0.31 😭
People buying GLD to get access to Kash's nudes? Interesting
GLD is looking mighty fine rn
I’m tired of SPY. GLD calls for next friday?
Im game to Hold GLD calls this weekend
GLD, it’s currently in a fake pump
Why isn't GLD dumping with it?
It's futes. ^(and possibly GLD sadly)
Oil up, futes up. GLD up. Someone is lying
Holding my GLD puts. Gold out up a helping a fight at every small resistance point, but it was so exhausted by the end. Betting on a 4350 resistance break into free fall.
JFC, GLD and SLV drops with no effort
Lol yea really! Less than 6 months ago they were only like $1,500 each, I remember somebody posting "if you don't have calls on GLD what are you doing?" Lol
!banbet GLD $600 DEC 25th
Not sure if it's a buy yet tbh. Assuming the war continues, it's going to keep getting dumped as people are forced to sell it for liquidity. On top of that, DXY is going to surge (GLD tends to run counter to it) as it's used for oil transactions which are going to skyrocket as the price soars over the coming weeks. In the medium term though I agree, inflation is going to surge and gold will likely benefit
There is *some* merit to pursuing physical gold over GLD if you actually have the capabilities to buy and sell physical gold, however since 99.9% of people do not then whatever cut you're going to have to give Timmy and the pawn shop in each direction will negate any perceived benefit. On the other hand, I recently learned that GLD options are treated as 1256 contracts for tax purposes which is great when spot gold prices are moving like meme stocks
I go the ETF route. I do the mining companies such as in GDX, SIL, COPX and URA (gold, silver, copper and uranium respectively). You could do ETFs that actually track the price like GLD and SLV. It's a matter of preference really.
GLD will still probably hit 700 before SPY.
**Long-term investment portfolio, age 30, budget $150k** 1. VOO – 40% 2. QQQ – 20% 3. GLD – 10% 4. BSV – 5% 5. VGIT – 3% 6. TLT – 2% 7. FTGC – 10% 8. SPMO – 5% 9. ARKK – 5% Now, let me explain why I designed it this way: 1. VOO is a fund that invests in the S&P 500 index. 2. QQQ is the Nasdaq-100 index fund. 3. GLD is a gold fund. 4. BSV is a short-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 5. VGIT is an intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 6. TLT is a long-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 7. FTGC is a commodities fund (aluminum, iron, steel, copper, barley, wheat, palladium, platinum, and more). 8. SPMO is a momentum stock fund. 9. ARKK is a technology fund. I’m waiting for your comments.
Ever been forced with a ⚡️ butt plug and sound while deep throating a metal rod? This morning feels like that with MU, MSFT and GLD all down. MM is the domme just keeps cranking it up while I scream…no more!
>just like how GLD tracks the price of gold No. GLD is gold in a vault. USO is not oil in storage, it's futures contracts.
Yep. 1. On WSB 2. Is OP 3. Made Front Page We should already be 3x inversing this guy. This same clown was on r/stocks [telling folks to avoid GLD but go into gold 4 months ago (right before the generational highs)](https://old.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1p66jaq/gold_may_have_the_strongest_bull_case_in_modern/)
Fuck, why did I pussy out and close my GLD straddle yesterday?
I bought 20 sharesoh GLD about 5 days before the dive began. I'm not really upset, mostly amuseed by my uncanny ability to buy stocks at the top. I'm also baghilding a little GOOG after buying at $340.
With the market going lower, and may go further down, the best path for you is to make a plan to invest the same $60k but on a recurring basis every week over the span of next 12 - 16 months … Just pick up some ETFs like $VOO $QQQM $VXUS $SCHD $SMH $GLD The results in around 2 years will amaze you
Oh my gosh have you guys seen how expensive GLD Leap calls have gotten??? $5k-$6k!!!
I am bro. Moved 100% of my portfolio to GLD at $497 when the war started
34 of my positions are stocks and 6 ETFs (SPY, QQQ, SLV, IWM, GLD, DIA). I select the stocks by filtering onto any companies that have more than $10B in market cap and the sort defending by order of IV and then sell iron condors on those tickers. Depending on how the market moves, I’ll end up doing ratio iron condors.
I changed my mind. Gold is under priced. GLD to $1000. The dollar is doomed.
$TLT is still a decent buy here for the risk adverse investor. There's a decent chance it outperforms both the $SPY and $GLD. My port is still 25% $TLT, but that's down from 50% $TLT 2 weeks ago. I'm starting to think we have to ignore everything on the charts before 2020. All CB's just pumped & printed so much cash into the world that there's distortion if you look at the charts prior to 2020 to make any comparison b/w now and pre-2020. Of course this might also be the type of misjudgment peeps have made to justify prior cycle market tops.
when i buy GLD calls i lose money. cool
i don't think I've seen a flatter intraday GLD chart than today in a long while lmao
Guys i need help, around 5k should i put that into GLD???? Or GLD a good time rn
Opened a small 2DTE straddle on GLD, yolo!
fuck you GLD, I should’ve bought spy instead
Play GLD in the right direct and you could be having a double or triple bag day kiddos.
Is it a good time to buy GLD?
Since when did GLD start moving like the QQQs???
GLD at 420 in pre. That's gotta be a sign for something.
I’m telling you guys sentiment completely shifted on GLD and SLV, but that shit now
ETFs like GLD track price but you don’t really deal with physical gold or delivery at all, which is what some people miss. I’ve noticed Thor Metals Group leans more into actual bullion ownership, which feels different if your concern is counterparty exposure.
Yeah GLD and similar ETFs can have different tax treatment compared to holding physical gold directly. It’s one of those things worth checking carefully. Thor Metals Group usually comes up more in the context of physical bullion or IRAs, which follow a different structure entirely.
Ahhhhh GLD better hold its gains tomorrow… bought some Oct 16 leaps before close today expecting a decent recovery
Bro just swing GLD. That being said if you full port it you might not sleep that night 🤣
Every single time I’ve paper handed SLV or GLD it has saved my ass
I remember you saying, in an old thread, that GLD always screws you the worst.
Yo, wtf is going on with GLD?
I sold all my GLD yesterday
Compare charts b/w $SPY vs $VXUS. One is still above its 200 DMA and up more after hours than the other. Hell, throw $GLD vs $SPY as well. You don't have to be bullish on the US AI bubble economy or even $SPY to have skin in the game. I've been BTD but I don't own the $QQQ or $SPY.
Bought 1DTE GLD calls before close. Plums were tingling
Msft is fucking me. I’m getting deepthroat by MU. GLD is whipping me with cats of 9 tails. I don’t know if I should be hard or not
I'm holding off going long $GLD calls FWIW. But I will eventually pull the trigger again
