The silver I bought as a new investor is still down 15%. SLV. I keep it to remind me to stay the fuck out of commodities bubbles. I bought it in 2011 and it's STILL down 15% from the peak of that stupidity
As you probably already know, we are in the early stage of this bull (the responses on this sub should confirm that). >Would you be buying metals here, or waiting for a pullback before jumping in? If you don't have any gold or silver, I would buy now, including GLD and SLV. Buy and forget about it. As for the miners, I am waiting for them to finish this leg up and then correct before I resume buying. If you want solid technical guidance, I recommend following Jordan Roy-Byrne on TheDailyGold (youtube and web site, including free newsletter). I highly recommend Peter Schiff too, but he is a permabull in comparison.
$ bonds GLD/SLV up quite a bit over the long weekend, tomorrow gonna sell off
Ive been longing SLV. silver is actually used for alot of things other than hedging the dollar. Could get exciting.
Hoping for MSOS FNMA FMCC clarity. I got out of GLD and SLV for these positions.
My portfolio is 99% GLD GDX GDXJ and SLV - you bet I've seen gold and silver futures :D :D. I set aside a bit of my holding to sell calls just cause I can't quit that thetagang life.
All JPM has to do is stop the hedging or flows out of SLV they control. Squeeze would be massive with short fall on supply shortages.
I invested through the last gold bubble, I still have SLV from 2011 in my Roth IRA, and it's down 15%. It's been 14 years and silver still has not recovered from the last gold bubble lol. Fuck that shit
* Lot of peope had asked me about plays: SPY. IBM, TSLA, SLV, BABA, SHOP, PDD. I had one screenshot on the way up.
It's always spelled LEAPS, because it's an acronym, like IRS. You don't write "ir" and you don't write "leap." One LEAPS call, two LEAPS calls. > Do not avoid selling calls below cost basis if leaps have fallen, aim to constantly collect premiums. That's quite the double negative. "Do not avoid," means "always," right? So, "Always sell calls below (the) cost basis (of the LEAPS call) if the LEAPS call has fallen (in value), ..." That's pretty terrible advice. For one thing, if the LEAPS call has fallen that much, what reason is there to believe it will ever recover? Maybe it's on a ticker in long term decline? SLV has spent years flat or in decline in its history. For another thing, what if the LEAPS call recovers, making your short call ITM and a loss to close?
KSS is my current favorite deep value play. Retail is cyclical and Kohls has gotten massacred. Even after this most recent run up it’s still only valued at .4x BV and book value is very real and based on a massive real estate portfolio. Do I hope the business itself reverses course and does a turn around? Heck yes, will lead to phenomenal returns but even in a managed decline it has a massive ability to run. Other personal faves are SLV options, SD, DAC and 30 year treasuries(they’ll print amazing returns in event of rate cuts but also give a near 5% tax advantaged payout while you wait)
Tarriff news released after hours to sustain the ongoing dump. Large movement into GLD, SLV and WM. You know what that means? The dump will continue next week. We may even get news like new Deepseek R2 or a Google break-up. Bear days ahead.
I sold close my SLV calls because too much could go wrong in 3 days.
That last minute spike on companies like WM and UNH alongside that absolutely mental volume on GLD and SLV going into the long weekend… Someone knows something
I watched idly by today as the 10 bagger that was SLV 36c 0dte happened
SLV calls. If silver closes above 40 we'll see a crazy run next week.
JPM manages the SLV, they are short as a hedge, how Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.
My SLV calls when I first alerted everyone in here are up 737%, just sold half, time to ride or make a little.
My SLV from the last metals bubble in 2011 is still down 15% Just checked in my Roth IRA account lol
My GLD and SLV continue to keep me satisfied. No hype or sadness like Bitcoin, which I hold too.
LOL, volume on SLV is batshit crazy, SQUUEZE JPM SQUEEZE em!
I randomly bought 100 SLV last night. Turned out to be a good decision.
I am jacked to the tits on GLD, SLV, PAAS, HL calls. 6 months plus out. Also still holding ETHA Dec calls that are +440% since June. It’s fed data tomorrow, so likely not fake (yet)
Take a look at SLV back in 2011. Mine is still down 20%. That's how fucking big the metals bubble was back then. We getting close now lol
Fine, I'll long SLV and GLD, ughhhh
Looking to buy a few shares in silver? Just don't overthink it and buy SLV?
Gold is packed to the gills with speculators, as someone who traded 10+ years ago during the last gold bubble, it's going to pop soon and I have SLV that is still down 20% from when I bought it in 2011, that's how bad the metal commodity bubble was. We're almost to the next pop
I'm up 600% on my SLV calls, wait for it.
Giant daily open gap on Q's down at 23200 LOL, I'll die laughing if we hit that. I got 600% on my SLV calls. Saved my ass on my TSLA puts.
SLV is going to go absolutely parabolic in the next month
Here’s a bearish signal: SLV put options 37 days out are currently the second highest ratio of bearish premium paid (IV) relative to historical volatility (HV). These options are priced expecting the underlying to move down significantly more than it has moved down in the past. GDX is sixth. Means the big boys are expecting a rotation out of commodities. Inflation expected to go down, or at least not go as high as originally projected. Probably they are pricing in the no interest rate cut scenario and setting up positions accordingly.
Too many headlines about silver exploding, rug pull incoming. SLV puts, greeks confirm.
Have him goto the website [https://solarsuns.com/about/](https://solarsuns.com/about/) and actually look at it. The zero AI program is probably not actually built by them and is the pig butchering component that they are likely leasing from a larger criminal organization. You can tell because of the sophistication difference between the two sites. Here is how you break it down for him. I did a backlink search for all of the backlinks to the [zeroaiclub.com](http://zeroaiclub.com) site and found a bunch of other sketchy investment sites saying the same thing as solar suns. Here are a few of them: [https://dreameros.com/](https://dreameros.com/) [https://exclusivesky.com/](https://exclusivesky.com/) [https://sureim.com/](https://sureim.com/) [https://writingstar.com/](https://writingstar.com/) See anything familiar? They are all the same scam. They build a similar looking investment site and point it to the zeroAI site which is where your money gets stolen. Each one of these takes credit for creating zeroAI. Each one of them has a whitepaper on a crappy token located at /whitepaper on the main site. SLV, WST, SUG, etc etc. This is the clearest evidence you can show them that it's a scam. Or maybe there just happens to be a whole bunch of websites that have the exact same layout, very similar whitepapers, but different tokens that are all going to be game changing and earth shattering and make him a millionaire. This proof is undeniable. Share this with him now. Also if he removes all of his money it will be locked under fees and they won't allow him to do a 100% removal. If he can try to do another 25% withdrawal for a good reason (dog needs to goto the vet, mother with cancer, etc) that will likely be the only way to get any money back. The majority of that money is GONE.
Maverick is concerned with the phenomenon of cognitive inequality in finance and is steadfast in the belief that he should find those suffering from cognitive ineqaulity and part them from their hard earned monies. This website is wild. They have a lucky draw that might be a coin faucet, an SLV white paper that is attached to a coin that I think doesn't exist (SLV is Slavi coin which hasn't been traded in months and doesn't have anything to do with them). It looks like zero AI is the pig butchering component of all this though and their website is a funnel into that technology.
Was a quant eng on a forex derivs desk for a decade. Never once did a PM or trader ask about realized vol models or surface models that use past observations to fit a surface. They couldn’t have cared less about GARCH, ARIMA, EWMA or any other variant. They only cared about stoch vol models used to fit the vol surface and quote prices. Heston, SABR, SLV. ZABR, etc.
My 401k 35% GLD. Will sell after inflation actually looks likes its being dealt with 23% SLV, same as gld. 11% VXUS 23% VYMI 8% money market. If I go back into US, it will be VDC to start. S&P is to heavily dependent on a few stocks right now. And i think small and mid sized are going to get crushed so I think a total market index is not a great prospect. Looking at some more targeted international etfs for the future. All told, I'm up about 17.5% for the year. Most importantly, I am not worried about the my investments. In not convinced we will see a big drop, but I expect a long period of stagnation at least in US equities because using your brain is at all time lows.
In my opinion too heavy on US large-cap tech and metals (20% in GLD/SLV is a lot unless you’ve got a strong thesis). Barely any international exposure with just 10% VXUS - overall you're not as diversified as you might think. Here’s a breakdown of your allocation: https://www.insightfol.io/en/portfolios/report/2fe9e9eb15/
Taxable or not? Time horizon? What would be the goal of this portfolio? Just to invest? If that's the case, I would remove SCHD, GLD, SLV. VXUS @ 10% seems pointless to me. Therefore, I would probably do something like 50% VOO, 20% QQQ, 30% AVDV (i prefer this over VXUS). This is assuming a longer time horizon. I also assumed that you solely wanted large cap which is why i didn't comment on the lack of diversification
That's SLV from the last gold bubble for me lol. Still down 20% on that shit I bought in 2011
SLV is going to push new 52-week highs next week, I reckon.
Roast me: I’m long GLD/SLV/UVYX and short SPY
SLV becuz too broke to sell GLD calls 💩
why has SLV saved my port today
SLV will just casually open $33.94 and close $33.94. Fuck this shit
SLV was a proxy buy for gold. Gold wouldn't go up anymore because every major fund knew gold prices were fucked and was trying to get OUT without crashing it. They would sell to anyone who would buy at the current price, trying to unwind slow. So retail piled into silver, platinum, and uranium. That spiked them up crazy hard and fast, and it trapped hedge funds in gold having to sell at lower and lower prices to get out. Proxy buys die super fast, i.e. if gold gets a cold silver gets the flu. So they collapsed even harder and caused more panic. If this runs as far as the last gold bubble and everything went exactly the same, then SLV has 20% more to run, plus lets say 10% more to account from the dollar devaluation this year and inflation. I'm not psychic I can't tell you if it will really still run up 30% more, or more than that, or less.
Yes. Look at the last gold bubble lol. Look at my other reply to his comment with the SLV I keep to remind me to stay OUT of these bubbles. It's still down 20% from the gold bubble in 2011
I'm actually retarded about gold, I had just started investing during the very peak of the last gold bubble, and got burnt lol. I actually still have one of the first stocks I ever bought, SLV Silver ETF from then, and right now it's down 20%. After the last gold bubble popped it was down 70%. So I've got FXE and UDN as my bearish USD plays instead of gold, and one singular put on gold at 300 strike in case the dollar doesn't keep devaluing. I was actually profitable on the put last week but then the dollar dipped and gold shot back up lol
Go look how far GLD fell when the last gold bubble popped. Now look at SLV
In my experience, when everyone gets to thinking that one particular outcome is "certain," then the opposite tends to happen. The truth is, nobody knows, and we'll all find out together tomorrow. I bought slightly otm and close to expiry calls on GLD and SLV in anticipation of a rally early next week. I bought them on Friday a half hour before market close. Gold and silver were both actually green on Friday, so it looked good to me.
SLV Silver ETF is only 20% Down from it's all time high at the peak of the last gold bubble. I know bc I never sold mine, to remind me not to fomo in and chase stupid shit. If that SLV hits break even, I'm going to start buying the shit out of GLD and SLV puts
It decouples as it enters the bubble. SLV goes up ~10-20% and we will be at the last gold bubbles peak.
I do that with GLD & SLV. Buy back the short end on weakness. It has consistently recovered dips. I sell way before expiration.
Moved all in to SLV for over the weekend
believe it or not, calls (on GLD and SLV and SQQQ)
my one SLV call BETTER go to the moon tomorrow
Overweight in SLV so if your looking for something to buy puts on that might be a good one. I would say INTC since we dumped it but that's always a good one to buy puts on.
i got SLV calls same thing but cheaper
"Second place is just the first loser." In case your wondering why SLV and INTC and are always shorted as soon as they start to breakout. Good for pump and dump plays but you'll never get rich off leaps on em.
Brutal day for Copper, SLV, and GLD, fck me..
Same bro my ass is insanely gaped on SLV and GLD today. NVO fucked me pretty good too. Not even a little dead cat bounce
This is the single worst day for my port since December of last year. Down 400 and still dropping thanks to NVO, GLD, and SLV. Nothing but total gapeage. At least BTC isn't gaping me..yet
got a few SLV calls ready for this meeting now
No, it was a stupid proxy buy for NVDA when NVDA looked like it might be temporarily topping and money didn't know where to go. Now that NVDA broke through resistance no one wants a random proxy buy anymore. You also see this with GLD and SLV btw
I'm waiting for it reach highs again, so I can sell calls on SLV. First I'm gonna sell a $60 Call 1/27, for maybe $150 premium. Then if it keeps going up, I'm going to sell short expiry and lower strike
I'm heavy into GLD SLV for that reason also.
I’ve been looking into the precious metals sector for a couple months now, here’s what I’ve come up with. 1. If you’re worried about a monetary collapse, go with physical gold/silver. In this case you do not want to store it at a bank. You’ll also need to worry about someone physically stealing your gold/silver, and you’ll have to worry about fakes. If you want to go this route, find a coin shop that sells bullion and only do business with the store if you feel as though you can’t trust the seller/owner. Ask questions, it’s not a problem to show inexperience, but show the owner that you’re a real one and want to learn. Also, don’t go in and buy something immediately, have a conversation with the people behind the counter and feel them out. 1a. I’m not saying a monetary collapse is likely, I’m just throwing out a reason why people buy physical metals. 2. If you think there’s a mispricing of the commodities assets comparative to paper markets, I would say the mining sector is a good place to look around. The mining sector is not a popular topic within the investment community because they are slow burns, however, great for long term holding. Watch a couple of videos on mining stocks, read a couple articles. Something you’ll pick up on is that there are cycles of affinity for paper and commodities. The commodity cycles in fact are a great place to start if you want to look more into the energy sector as well. 3. There’s two main issue that I come up with when looking at metals ETFs comparative to the miners. The two main ETFs (SLV & GLD) have a .5% expense ratio, while there’s also a fair bit of speculation on whether or not there is and silver or gold actually backing those funds. Now a .5% expense ratio is a better deal than physical premiums if you’re in and out within a shorter timeframe I’m just letting you know that most people are going to think you’re crazy for investing in commodities. Tech has been good, debt is cheap, US is #1. After doing some research and you still think this is a good sector, stick to your guns.
I have a deep ITM IBIT LEAP (call) I waiting to play out, as well as a shorter dated SPLG put. Those are the only long positions I have. I'm short puts on GME, HPE, SLV, and T expiring over the next few weeks.
Gonna jump on too… made a bunch of calls for SLV. Hoping to make my 10k account get to a respectable 100k this year
Try SLV. At least the calls are dirt cheap
Yeah. It’s a life-changing amount of money, but it’s not the type of money where you need a wealth manager, or start looking into exotic investments. It’s not enough to warrant significantly changing your spending habits. Mundane investments would be the most appropriate thing for most people in your situation: 1) maintain 6 months worth of your living expenses in “cash.” High interest savings, CDs in rotation, I-bonds, etc. 2) Sounds like you’ve already figured out basic investing. Diversified portfolio of stocks. No reason to change up your primarily index investing strategy. 3) Perhaps 20% bonds at your age. I like Diamond Nest Egg YT channel. Her target audience is retirees/near retirement, but her info on individual bonds is stellar. 4) Maybe do 10% REITs, 5% GLDM/SLV if you want to get wild. 5) Assuming you haven’t been maxing out all tax-deferred savings every year, the best thing about your windfall is you can now do this. Like even if your salary is just $55k/year, you can afford to keep max-contributing to your 401k. 6) Don’t pay off that mortgage early. Bogleheads.org has a wealth of information
sold a bit of SLV today, will drop $500 into the first ten tickers listed here. other than OPEN lol
SLV the most shorted commodity
I agree w SLV and Gold. Open worked out so that’s great Everything else seems wild to me but we all have our own opinions
I have a shitload of SLV and GLD at very good averages and I rode OPEN from 1.8 to 4. I made bank on puts today at the top (called it here) and I’m still holding some. I’m still on VKTX and I bought an irresponsible amount of TLRY today. The UNH puts I sold at the bottom spike are still green despite the blood but I’m so wary of healthcare. I also have BULL at 12 avg but I’m pretty sure unless we have a good run tomorrow I’m out. Anyway you guys downvoting me for having cheap ass puts on a shit memestock are regarded and one of the clearest indicators the top is in. Peace!
Easiest way is to buy ETF’s that track it; there are many out there for precious metals, such as GLD (gold) or SLV (silver). If you want the actual gold, you can buy bars or coins but be sure to find a safe place for storage and don’t tell a single soul about it!
Half my port is $GLD $SLV -- I am trimming stocks
SOFI to 20 happened DuPont chemical 20% happened TSLA 350 -> 280 -> 330 happened CRWV shitting out happened but not as fast as I thought so I didn't make anything off it. Bull to 17-20 is my last play still in motion and I'm out of high conviction ideas otherwise I guess. Plays I'm high conviction on but the entry isnt here yet: When SLV goes up 20% more it will have hit the peak fomo price I bought it at as a very young investor at the height of the last gold bubble. Account for inflation on top of that, and short that shit. Find some way to short BYD, the rice government is getting mad at them, and if the USA buys less EU cars the Europoor gov is going to kick BYD out of the EU market to protect their domestic heavies. I dicked around with other plays and missed the pop in rare earth related stuff. Keep an eye on a chance to short it - mango didn't keep the steel and aluminum tarfs in his first term bc domestic market wasn't ready for the pain. It may not be ready for the REs pain this time and he may chicken out. Domestic steel and aluminum popped and then crashed in his first term bc of this. Something something TSLA and India. FSD getting complete approval in the US. (These last two are written down on a sticky note stuck to an IPA bottle)
Plenty. However, If you don’t want to do your homework, I’d recommend the ETF’s. Diversified, safer, dividends. #uranium : URA URNM URNJ #gold : GDX GDXJ SLV SILJ Already had a good run but the generalist investors are not in yet. Plenty of runway in my opinion. Good luck 👍🏼
I'm almost half in GLD SLV for that reason.
I know silver is a taboo topic but I have about 250k in SLV and miners and think it’s a pretty low risk high reward trade over the medium and long term. Something to consider if you want something solid to put your OPEN gains into
I do the same thing with GLD and SLV. I buy back the short end if the trade dips. It usually recovers and I add the short back on. I look for 20 to 50% to close. I use about 10% of my account.
My SLV calls will go up bigly tomorrow
Right lol. The gold bubble is gonna pop when my SLV from ten years ago is at break even, and the market is gonna be officially crashing when those fucking quantum stocks crash
I decided to load up on banks (STT, MS) and some RKT. Also got crypto related names (ETHA, HUT). Any scenario where they drop rates will cause dollar to fall. Will make crypto rise. I got SLV calls too
Think I'll close out the rest of my SLV calls at open. Been a while since I actually made money on a trade
SLV calls the move this week
The SLV I own from the last gold bubble is still down 18%
SLV will probably hit all time high this month. The last time it went above 40 it immediately jumped to 50 only a week later.
Thank you both for this! Great recommendation that eases my concerns of SPY coming down. Great liquidity on GLD and SLV that I can see.
Yellow rock gae. Look at the price of SLV. When it goes up 20% more, get everything you have on shorting gold. I will be.
I’m a 23 year old girl. I just pick what seems like it’s definitely on the up. The ones I have rn are (in order of $ invested) nvidia, palantir, amazon, MP materials, Broadcom, and SLV.
CPER, PALL, SLV, IBIT, MOO, URA, XLU - That's what I have and looking for similar others next week. Maybe Australia as it's a commodity country. I'd say Canada but they're having a few problems to deal with right now.
Buying GLD and SLV again next week. Selling PEW PEW PEW when we get there.
I’m up 300% on SLV.. have a call out until 2026.. definitely holding it
