If you are planning on holding a call for six months it’s my recommendation you buy a call that expires 12 months or more out Theta accelerates as you approach expiration and if you are holding for six months right to the point theta starts really ramping, you’re going to be holding the bag every time. If all you want to do is place a bet on silver, get yourself a June 2028 30C. Spend $28 on 100 shares of SLV that moves 1:1 (or nearly so) with underlying. SLV pops to $85 in six months and your delta moves you up $18.70 (more in reality) while theta has only taken $0.77. That’s a 66.7% gain my man
I started a position in Waste Management in my mom's portfolio, which I manage in addition to my own. My portfolio is still very concentrated in high beta tech but I am being more cautious with hers, profit taking from tech and also building up GLD and SLV positions for her. Thinking about one or two others to add - appreciate your list of ideas.
For the SLV example the variable nobody has named yet is vega. Silver is a high IV name, and metals tend to see IV come down as they grind higher in an orderly move, then spike on the violent days. So you can be completely right that SLV goes 63 to 110 and still have a long call that underperforms the move, because the rally quietly compressed the implied vol you paid up for at entry. Two practical takeaways. Pick the tenor off your thesis, not a rule of thumb: if you think it plays out over a few months, buying six month or longer just means you are paying for and bleeding vega you do not need. And check what IV rank you are buying at. Paying top decile IV for a directional call is the single most common way people get the direction right and the trade wrong.
Sprott buys physical gold & silver bullion. You can trade your shares in and pay a fee and get the gold mailed to you if you want. $GLD and $SLV is a pure trade on the price.
Judging by these comments it is almost time to short SPCX. WSB repeating a ticker for more than 6 recent comments in a row is a super bearish indicator. Same thing happened to GLD and SLV
Maybe it’ll pump hard enough to let the SLV baggies get out. Lmao no.
For all you know Hezbollah or Bibi fuck this up and it goes back up again. The official signing is Friday. Plenty of time for some fuckery to happen. You'd be better off buying calls on SLV or something if you think this deal holds
My SLV poots might be printing tomorrow
If gold touches 3500$ again it's probably a great time to load up, if it even gets that low. SLV could be closer to having bottomed out. Again just what the cycle analyst youtubers and x accounts seem to mostly be converging on. Could all be wrong though.
What are some key levels to buy GLD and SLV? Looking to start a long term position. Thanks
How's the gold and silver buyers doing? That's why you don't buy into hype. I'm sure there's alot of SLV bag holders out there who bought in at 100.
SLV was so cheap couple of days ago it was astonishing
Unironically, their also still holding SLV above 100 🤣🤣🤣

Sold enough just now to get back up to almost 18% cash across my Roth IRA and personal account. Got out of NFLX, SLV, AVGO and EMBJ at a small gains. No d&d, i just trade with vibes.
every since SLV crashed from it's high it's been pegged to corn 1000:1 coincidence ?
SLV is the best lead indicator. It's usually a couple of minutes ahead of stock market.
Sure. This will take a little bit, but I figured I should go a bit in depth since it sounds like you're new to gold/silver. So first thing, if you're new to metals take a bit of time just to learn the basics. I think everyone is getting interested because of that big pop last year combined with inflation going out of control, but metals require patience. You can get long periods of not a lot followed by insane runs followed by big pullbacks before the next cycle kicks in. Second, for charting purposes use the futures charts rather than GLD/SLV and then overlay the two to find the equivalent levels on the ETFs. Last bit of general advice, find trustworthy people to follow for commodities trading. You don't want to find yourself falling for the Peter Schiff-esque narrative b.s. So it's convenient timing as $4100 on gold has been one of the key levels everyone has been bringing up for a while. $4300-4400 was the battle line for a while which came from a pivot high in October then repeated tests of the range. That's now basically resistance. $4100 was the next line which comes from the bottom of the selling in March. The price action on a chart is your standard downward sloping parallel, with $3600 being the projected point a number of levels come together. But the easiest way to see where this comes from is the initial bull breakout candle in early September was at $3600, and the low of $3100-$3400 people throw about is from that 6 month consolidation range it was in. There is a second school of thought here, which is to superimpose the chart from 2011 onto what is happening here, which is very similar and suggests a full 45-50% drawdown. That raw math gives us $2800-$3100. So that's how we get all the levels and ranges people are throwing around: $4400 as new resistance, $4100 as the next leg down which has not fully confirmed yet, $3900 likely to offer temporary support, $3600 being the point a lot of traders I know of are ready to start jumping back in and just DCA in from there. $3300-$3400 being the more likely low target based on the chart, but $2800-$3100 being a backup level based on previous cycles. Okay, I'll spend a little less time on silver, but be warned that silver is way more volatile and a little harder to predict as it's an industrial metal. Silver boom/bust periods can be pretty insane. In 2011, silver plunged between 75-77% from AtHs. So from our recent high of $110, that'd be... $27-$28. Now most people don't think this is particularly realistic this time, and I happen to agree: way more industrial uses today combined with the state of supply. So if we used more of a gold-model of a 50% drawdown, that takes us to $55, which you're going to see in a moment aligns with levels. Current major support has been $64-$66. That finally broke, though it's not 100% confirmed yet. Futures are trying to save it, but it looks incredibly weak. Next level of support is $56 based on the December consolidation zone. And wouldn't you know it, that marks a perfect 50% drawdown model where a lot of people might start inching back in. The only problem with that $54-$56 zone is that support isn't the strongest. So while that's where I think you're almost forced to start DCAing into a position just in case, $48 to me is the more preferred zone. $48 was the high of the 2011 boom and was tested a ton in the fall as both a floor and a ceiling. Hope this helps!
Same i decided to by in after the big crash in january and jpm had a target of $80/oz throughout 2026, I've got my ACB down to 65.9 on SLV (purchase price was $74 average) selling options but it still hurts, aproaching the point where selling CCs anove my cost basis just stops being worth it. My thought process is that we will see another surge in silver as more contries try electrifying to reduce oil dependency because of this war.
I haven't thought of rock bros in a while.. *checks SLV and GLD* ..jesus..
Yeah if you're using GLD and SLV, I think a lot of people are looking to start inching in back before it went parabolic, so I know it's around $3400-$3600/oz on gold so that's $310-$330 on GLD. SLV is harder to gauge because that breakout was way stupider. That looks like about $44-$52 range. $300 and $35 might be ambitious.
I doubt we will see such lower levels again soon we see some depression type event. my PT for entry is 340 GLD and 40 SLV
What are some good buying levels for gold and silver? I want to start an allocation. I’m thinking GLD 300 and SLV 30. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Woah, ouch. GLD at 300 and SLV at 35 look tempting.
A for effort, what about SLV? Correlation with oil and index?
SLV must be having a halfing event.
imagine buying SLV above 100
GLD a d SLV another source of liquidity for these upcoming IPOs
Is SLV any indication of the stocks that have gone parabolic?
SLV just completely died the past month
Just 10% SLV. Well it used to be
Sold some bag SLV and straight into TQQQ MU and MRVL
Huh, SLV back to market open price.
tried to jump in to SLV friday 6-5-2026 as it was coming down . Started to jump too early . Had 560 shares . Sold today at $62 . Lost about a grand . It's gonna go lower I Ithink .
If you like money, start to buy $SLV
If SLV goes above $75 by end of June. I’ll give the top 5 folks here $50. Wish me luck!
Why is SLV still going down? I thought it was hammered enough
How’s SLV not moving at all? This was like $90 few weeks ago
AVGO MU MRVL SLV UUUU IAG mainly. Some smaller bets as well, but I think those were the main ones.
24k capital base, \~63% gain after Friday I had SLV 170C 8/21 going into Friday and rolled them into SPY 747P 6/12 when it was about $751 and paper handed them lmao https://preview.redd.it/ja6020vkfu5h1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdf8e92a631ff576d7a8766db122cfeb3c203603 Note: 10k profits have been already taken out last month to pay for vacations/tickets for Olympics
-14% SLV unfortunately
Warning: going long GLD and SLV in January was not “free money,” as many in here were saying. Are we totally surprised? Free money doesn’t exist.
Holy shit. I bought a fuckton of AVGO MU MRVL UUUU IAG SLV SETM and a little bit of this n that. Sold off all my ZSL.
AVGO MU MRVL UUUU SETM SLV are my main pickups today. Some others in smaller amounts.
just stacking GLD and SLV and waiting for the real dip to come
Are SLV calls worth it now?
Can you imagine how idiotic one would be to swing SLV calls? 👋 I had SLV calls
Hoping my DRAM stops don't trigger. Don't want to be on the hook for taxes next year, then jump back in when things recover. But I learned my lesson from SLV. Never cancel your stops hoping for a V.
it's really folks out there that bought SLV at 105 now theyre yelling at each other to 'HODL' 😂😂
Man you may be right. Good thing I’m just in SLV
SLV C 2-3months out
SLV covered calls is literally free money. Look at the 1mo chart lol
U didn't buy epic SLV dip? When SLV is required as a key industrial metal?
Diversify with different stocks. Buy a few shares of each. Let it right. Too many buy/hold index funds but swing trade stocks. Probably not the way to do it — overall indexes move off behavioral psychology. Individual stocks follow the market. The trend is your friend until it’s not. However, at this time, it appears that EVERYTHING is headed for Asset Hyperinflation. Look at the charts. Look at the fundamentals. Gold and silver are probably worth buying too… at some point… maybe if gold spikes again to new highs then suddenly crashes. You could buy in at that low. Don’t over trade index ETFs but don’t under trade either. Just buy less than you think you need and trade a bit less. But take your signals. If you wanna get better you have to start somewhere. Invest in individual stocks each month. Hyperinflation lifts all boats. The indexes will lead individual stocks but you need the 100X stocks to turbo charge your portfolio. I’ve made all the bad trades already so I don’t care as much. About to start buying/trading. Maybe DDM (3X DJIA). If I see a BIG opportunity to swing trade (or buy puts) I will do that. But options were overpriced when I was trading them a few months ago. Especially SLV and GLD as those metals surged into tops then melted down in bear market sell offs. Look at the ticker, check out the charts. Pick up some index ETFs and track them. Find a comparable market in history (is there one?). Pick up a share or 3 or as many stocks as you think sound interesting. Is it worth buying dividend stocks? Who knows. 😂
Literally the kind of shit you see before a 20% haircut across the board. Not saying it's imminent, but just saying the train typically runs out of steam around July OpEx and continues the upward journey in fall. There is an insane amount of activity on the M/W expiration for equities. So we've now got equity (M/W/F), and daily ETF/index options, along with futures trading and futures options tugging at the market. Add to that VIX settlement every Wednesday morning based on Tuesday's closing price. TACO Tuesday isn't just a meme 🤫 With the amount of money riding on <7 DTE contracts, the tail is officially wagging the dog at this point. Any crazy price movements are amplified due to how Greeks work + dynamic hedging strategies by HFTs/institutions that are executed faster than you or I can submit an order or adjust an existing order price. That includes days like the 2015 Flash crash, 2018 Volpocalypse, and periods like the 2020 Rona melt-up (Nov OpEx - Feb OpEx) and following crash (Feb OpEx-March OpEx), GME/SLV/AMC squeeze in 2021, FTX/regional bank implosion, etc. "History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes" Make of that what you will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
SNDK reminds me of something SLV a few months ago hmmm...
Anyone still holding SLV from $120. LOL
SLV has been dead for a while now
Yeah dawg I think Ima buy SLV
Can someone explain to me what the fuck SLV is doing? The more I buy the more it dips.
The US government should short SLV to prop up the ai expansion
Same idiots who got in SLV when silver was $115 an oz
#SLV and GLD time again?
Hmm... Interesting. Let's see what I can dig up for you on these two stocks. GLD stands for "SPDR Gold Shares," which is a gold-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the price of gold bullion. SLV, on the other hand, stands for "iShares Silver Trust" and it's an ETF that tracks the silver spot price. So basically, these two funds are trying to track the prices of gold and silver, respectively. Now, as far as their performance goes, GLD has underperformed SLV since inception, largely due to the fact that gold is a more volatile asset than silver. However, this could change over time depending on market conditions. As for SLV, it's been more or less flat since its inception, but we can expect some fluctuations based on market sentiment towards silver as an investment. In terms of potential risks associated with these funds, both have the risk of losing value if there is a significant drop in precious metal prices. Additionally, SLV has an extra risk factor due to its exposure to short-term interest rates, which could impact its performance over time. Overall, GLD and SLV are two popular ETFs that track the price of gold and silver bullion, respectively. While they offer some potential for returns, there are also risks associated with investing in these assets, so it's important to do your own research before making any decisions.
Everything’s a computer, USO, SLV, GLD, TLT, DXY… all of it
Betchu SLV pops off again.
Is SLV medium/long term the best play rn? 1. Debasement trade continues, metals up, continuation of trend from last year 2. Oil rises and DXY rises as a result, but more investment into solar/renewables which require silver. Bonus points that datacenters and power infrastructure require silver. Literally cant go tits up.
That SLV drop, totally normal
FYI I just bought SPCE at $7.45 I also bought SLV at $103 and Lulu at $220 so I’m sorry in advance.
Same vibe as 2021, retail investors got wrecked in 2022 chasing hype stocks. Remember NFTs? my god people got rug pulled on those things. I started to see people starting positions in MU, INTC, RKLB, SNDK, etc AFTER they ran up 500% already, yeah they are still up big but they refuse to sell firmly believe they will go up more, classic FOMO behavior, what else do I see in their portfolio? GLD and SLV positions that were down 20-30% because they bought in when gold breached $5000. And when I look into their 5Y or Since Inception return data, most lost money, and the ones who were green, significantly underperformed even the Balanced 60/40 investor.
Looks like a SLV chart from early January. We all know what happens next
Somebody buy puts on SLV so it can finally go up
I think SLV gonna rip again
I feel ya, had super short dated puts on SLV, it kept going up, figured I would sell positions and have something. I am not kidding I sold at like 7:30 AM and SLV plummeted to like $70 by the end of the day and the next day was down to $68 and my strikes were $77 and $72.5 (I think). Sold the $72.5 for barely anything back and they would’ve ended up hedging my $77 strike for the most part. ANYWAYS, this SpaceX IPO is looking fruitful🤑🤣 also looking into RDW for materials. Any other SpaceX related companies to look into?
I'm rotating out of SLV and possibly gold after +100% returns and about 30% of my portfolio on that call. My latest most interesting stock is STN - I think it's undervalued but still need more DD before a big allocation. Seems dumb not to have a small position in stuff like arkq and oust... just learning now though, open to more robotics and ai hardware system tickers. These products will be in all construction equipment, military equipment, cars, trucks, drones etc etc etc.
So there's "paper silver" (SLV, ie derivatives) and "real silver" (physically buying it). The true believers want you to stack obviously which is time and margin inefficient (have to go to a store and they'll never let you sell to them for 100% of what it's supposedly worth). But they aren't wrong when they say the "paper silver" isn't backed by anything and could got to zero in a true supply crunch since there's like 100x more paper silver than there is real silver backing it up. The happy middle ground is PSLV, which is backed up by real silver in a real warehouse big investors can take real deliveries from with real legal protections. Best of both worlds for owning silver itself imo. Though the real volatile and high upside play is silver miners. If silver prices go up 10% PSLV will go up about that much, but the miners are valued on profits so that 10% jump in silver price could mean a 50% jump in profits (their operating costs remain the same, but revenue went up 10%, so if the previous profit margin was 20% it's now 30%). Same for downside though if silver prices fall. SIL is the ETF for larger silver miners, SILJ is for smaller, even more risky/high upside miners. My silver is 2/3rd PSLV 1/3 SIL for whatever that's worth, no real reason for that split just works for me mentally. Again though, the volatility is brutal so be thoughtful in how much you invest and try to not let yourself deviate from it amid the chaos. Honestly forgetting you own it at all is best.
IT's been 3 months and SLV is still way down from its peak.
When will SLV hit $90?
Laughing at one of my co-workers putting 15k into SLV at 100
Remember when people were saying SLV was "free money" It's negative YTD now LOL Anytime someone says a trade is "free money," slap them, and then run away.
Hello my name is SLV Bagholder. If I touch any overpriced shit, it will drop to negative. Lets play a game MU
SOXL chart mirroring the SLV top.
I buy at the money calls doesn’t take a huge movement to make big profits. SLV and TQQQ are what I’ve been trading. SLV has been less consistent, but it has options expiring Monday Wednesday and Friday, TQQQ has massive swings because leveraged. Theta can be high, but also premium is low because it’s the day of expiration.
