Good ol gold $UGL I bet that orange taco is going to cause another headache on Jan 30.
Buy UGL to speed it up. It's the safest investment in these overbought times. 2026 will be a bad year across the board with few exceptions.
Been using UGL as a hedge/cash alt for quite some time. Turned out to be a very lucrative investment. The run-up has been crazy, but between money printing, rate cuts, inflation, and foreign banks piling in, I'm still adding to my position.
I'm frankly focused on Gold and Cash right now, trading UGL in and out while keeping plenty of cash on hand. I'm halfway to where I wanted to be next year, so I'm ok if I miss out on profits so I can not be freaking out.
Close enough. I know even with the spreads metu is nowhere as efficient as meta but I’m looking to make 2-3x. Losing 10% means nothing. Having to use 1/2 the capital gives me space not only to hedge but enter another trade Bito or UGL while using the same hedge. Today alone my calls went from 1.05$ to 1.50 (and back almost 😅) on a 3 week call. Absolutely impossible to make that w meta. And my 1,000$ qqq 2 week puts as the hedge went up 2x so I covered and will re enter them tomorrow after the pop in the morning. Was literally the perfect trade for me today. Doesn’t happen that often I assure you.
I did the same but with UGL at double leverage. We are both tarded
Loaded up on UGL thus afternoon. 2x gold leverage
I fomo bought UGL yesterday. Out of spite I bought even more after today's dump.
Picking up UGL calls at open
UGL calls seem relatively cheap. Should pick up some of those tomorrow to compliment my GLD calls
Took off risk by buying a shit ton of UGL. Was a fantastic trade. Probably going to unwind that now though. Not sure what's next.
CURE and UGL were the best hedge, but it became a crowded trade after I recommended them. Sold most of my position on these two.
I went into gold, UGL specifically about 2 months ago... I'm ok watching things burn
I sold out of UGL and NUGT after this amazing run from gold 1800. I’ll be back in after it cools off.
Gld for obvious reasons, but IAU has cheaper options and is only weekly instead of 3dte, so I play it safer with IAU and when I feel riskier I do GLD, but I do both 2-3dte and weekly calls with GLD. I do weekly for SLV and GDX(J). Might do some small positions for UGL or some kind of 2x when I think there might be a good day, or over the weekend when it usually goes up a few $.
I've been holding Nugt since March, up 86 percent. I recently bought in to UGL and it just keeps going up. Honestly just buy in and watch gold prices and the dollar index. If inflation heats up again, which it probably will, that will just add fuel to the fire.
UGL and SHNY for me sweetie
Yeah, a small pullback is normal even in strong rallies, so waiting for a dip to add exposure makes sense. For my long-term view, I’m looking at gold reaching around $7,000 within the next 1.5 years and silver hitting about $55-$60. This is based on current momentum, industrial demand for silver, tight mine supply, and broader macro trends. Your diversified positions across GDX, GDXU, UGL, AGQ, GDE, REMX, and URA are solid,scaling in carefully during pullbacks could capture a lot of upside before those levels.
All I know is I plan to buy a solid gold buttplug with my UGL profits
I've held UGL since Feb 2023 so not likely
My personal allocation is - TQQQ 55% - UGL (gold 2x) 15% - EDV (bonds) 15% - CTA/KMLM (managed futures) 15% TQQQ, gold, managed futures, bonds strategy with 200SMA switch Results with dotcom bubble and 2008 GFC: Strategy: https://testfol.io/tactical?s=93v4T1s6yXo Standard ETFs: https://testfol.io/?s=9giBG7lgiNi
The rate cuts are coming, as is stagflation. We are losing jobs not because of the tariffs, that's causing inflation, we're losing jobs because people don't see growth and AI is making companies think they can do more with less (they can't). So when rates get cut, we'll probably get the additional inflation, but we're not going to get the jobs any time soon. Gonna be a rough few years ahead. How do you play that market? I'm buying O and UGL
You need a leveraged hedge if you want a x3 leveraged equity ETF long term, like bonds (TMF) or bonds and gold (UGL). Bonds have historically been a good hedge, but not great with high inflation - but that’s where UGL can come in handy. Otherwise having 1.5-2x leveraged equities has historically been good and you don’t need hedges but they are more volatile.
Risk-on: 33% TQQQ for 99% equity 33% BTC 12% UGL for 24% gold 12% KMLM and CTA 10% ZROZ Risk-off (under 200SMA of QQQ): 25% QQQ 25% UGL 25% CTA and KMLM 25% ZROZ
Are you willing to go more aggressive than VTI/VXUS? I am 26 and allocate my portfolio to follow a 200SMA TQQQ strategy with hedges. Above 200SMA of QQQ it looks like 33% TQQQ, 33% BTC, 12% CTA and KMLM, 12% UGL, and 10% ZROZ. Below 200SMA, it becomes 25% QQQ, 25% UGL, 25% CTA and KMLM, and 25% ZROZ. There is more volatility than 100% VOO, but similar max drawdown and far higher risk-adjusted-return.
Above 200SMA of QQQ: TQQQ 66% UGL 22% ZROZ 12% Below 200SMA deleverage into: QQQ 34% UGL 33% ZROZ 33%
Have you tried just hedging it? I just follow the TQQQ 200SMA hedged strategy. 33% TQQQ 33% BTC 12% CTA 12% UGL 10% ZROZ Check for monthly close below or above 200SMA to begin any trade to risk-off. Rebalance monthly. Risk off portfolio: 25% QQQ 25% CTA 25% UGL 25% ZROZ
Sorry for the late reply. How long exactly is that backtest? Is BTC at 32% a good idea? Does 32% in TQQQ *really* equal 96% in QQQ when you’re using half your hedge money on BTC? Personally I think BTC at 32% is a bit in the nosebleed realm. Coupled with the 32% in TQQQ and 13% in UGL? It’s hard to assign your portfolio a beta with the different asset classes mixed in there, but looking at the metrics, yeah, it’s performed well over the last 2/3 years of backtesting that this portfolio could have been around. Its standard deviation is substantially higher.

I’m pretty leveraged compared to other people on here. Having just 1 asset class is not efficient if you just go ahead and test it with something with 2-3 assets. You’ll find the Sharpe will be much lower for a single asset class and sometimes even underperform the ones that are not 100% equities. 32% TQQQ for 96% QQQ 32% BTC 13% UGL for 26% gold 13% CTA 10% ZROZ
Physical is fine, I have a lot myself. I meant equities. GLD/M. Actually I hold UGL Long & GLL Short.
I use leveraged ETFs that are 2x or 3x exposure to crank up the exposure beyond 100%. TQQQ 32% UGL 12% TMF 12%
Why not UGL for 2x the returns?

Looked up UGL for a leveraged gold etf and a reddit thread about ugl the underground testosterone treatment popped up. Not sure which to invest in 🤔
fucking AVGO. Rode the TSLZ ride for a cool +$2.4K or something, sold some UGL in pre-market for like +$800, just for Boardcum to make me end the day $2.6K down. Then the fucking government act like retards and we are back to not knowing what the fuck is going on. ffs. this hole from feb-apr is taking forever to climb out of.
60/20/20 - UPRO/TMF/UGL, DCA monthly, enjoy 30 million in 20 years. Feel free to pick this apart I'm still investigating, but pretty dialed in
holding $UGL for the next week most likely
UGL or GDMN might be what you're looking for.
got me too.... the one time i decided not to keep my stop losses. slow grind back up. long UGL right now and just dollar cost averaging as it also slide down some.
No, I'm regarded i did the 2x long UGL 149 exp next week. A nice swing would fix the situation **cough** 🇮🇳
“24% UGL Gain” there fixed it for you
Do not. This market is going to drop. Big time. Invest in GLD & UGL if you want etfs. Now is a perfect time. Keep it there for a year and reevaluate then. There is no safer investment right now.
Ah, yes. After some consideration I did move from TMF into UGL. I don’t see stagflation leaving us anytime soon and I am tired of my bonds being down +90% since I bought them.
Instead why not play-UGL,NUGT,JNUG
Gold. Move into Gold. I recommend UGL and have been doing very well. I’ll move back into QQQ two days after 🥭announces that he won the trade war and the tariffs are off. Otherwise I’m holding UGL through the depression.
It is not too late. Inflation hasn't even started yet. GLD, UGL, physical gold. Buy it all.
GLD, UGL, calls on GLD, physical gold (you want your money to grow during dollar destruction) .....and what others are saying.
Thanks to the Bankruptcy King with the Minus Touch, there is zero trust and zero rule of law in the market. Trading stocks is akin to gambling. The dollar will lose alot of value as the bond market slowly deteriorates as the Fed occasionally 'steps in (read: print money). Gold is the safe answer. 10% of your portfolio in physical gold, GLD, UGL, calls on GLD (in the money for June, July, September, January, next year), some puts on SPY. I'm leveraged to the hilt right now, and will slowly deleverage into next year. Easiest money you'll ever make. Outside of a CD, I'm all in right now and into 2026.
SQQQ, FXF, UGL (Gold 2x).... and probably some ammo.
So youre saying set a trailing stop on my UGL
I'm going to short UGL on at max leverage Monday. This clown show is over.
my positions are just UGL, GLD and IAU. made like $5 on SPXS too and sold that. on margin so extra regarded
yes and agree ,but why UGL but not GLD ?
I had UGL calls double in one day i can't complain
Tempted to just dump all my money in GLD of UGL and delete my app
35% SGOV. Might move it to UGL depending how the next few weeks turn out
Fuck this market… dumped all in on gold UGL
UGL long calls if tariffs/trade war happen, up almost 3% today
I didn't want to panic sell so I am hedging with positions purchased in the last hour in SQQQ, SPXU, SRTY, UGL and MSTZ. Decided to hedge when I saw I was down more than 5% in premarket. I think it will trade sideways once market opens. I set stop losses on all the hedges in case we have the uno reverse on the tariffs. I can't be glued to the phone today so I think this is the best setup I can have. Good luck everyone.
Possible, but kills your liver. If you don't like to inject, gel/lotion is the next best. UGL would be the ticker. If it wasn't underground
I actually have a leveraged golden butterfly portfolio, with which I employ this exact strategy. I use less leverage however and hold cash for rebalancing. Mine is: 20% SSO 20% AVUV 20% UBT 20% UGL 20% BOXX I Rebalance on bands as soon as any allocation goes 10% out of its ideal allocation. Has done very well the past 3 years. We will see what happens the next 3.
Yes it's risky. Both are risky but ULG is 2x leveraged so it is about twice as risky as OUNZ. OUNZ has .25% expense ratio. UGL has .95% expense ratio. You asked about hidden fees so you may or may not know about the financing costs of leverage. UGL borrows at around SOFR plus 50bps, which means around 5.8% currently. There's also volatility drag. For example if gold goes up 10% one day and then falls 9.1% the next day it will be where it started But UGL will rise 20% and fall 18.2%, which means it ends up down by 1.84%. Why are you interested in investing in gold ETFs? As you are probably aware, gold returns are similar to cash over yhe long term.
NEED ADVICE ASAP PLEASE! Gold ETFs, UGL, OUNZ Hello friends. I invested in UGL with long-term intentions because it's growth over both the past year and five years is great! I'm seeing things online saying that it is risky to invest in UGL long-term because it is leveraged?? please give me advice on if I should withdraw my investment. Or about any possible hidden fees. Also please tell me if OUNZ is similar! It looks promising to invest in but I am scared of hidden fees! I am looking for advice specifically for UGL and OUNZ, regarless of whether or not I also buy VOO so please stop commenting about VOO. Thanks a lot :D
Are you the only one here? I can buy VOO too but your advice isn't helpful at all because I'm also interested in UGL and OUNZ.
I want specific advice on UGL and OUNZ but thanks anyways.
I am looking for specific advice about UGL and OUNZ please
