• 10baggerbamm OP modest Narwhal_1005 : this ETF that you mentioned is more of a well-rounded basket it not only includes the large gold mining companies but also what they call the junior mining companies.
  as they say a rising tide lifts All ships so yes you could feel comfortable buying this ETF.
  if gold rises back to 27 28xx, this ETF will go up nicely.
  I will point this out I will not buy this basket this ETF.
  and the reasons very simple I only buy ETFs that have options.. I like to have the ability to add to a position potentially by selling puts and collecting the premium and I like the ability to sell covered calls against my long position to generate income as well.
  when you buy an ETF that does not have options it limits your total return to only having the basket increase in net asset value so with this particular ETF gold must rise in order for you to have a positive return on your investment.
  with nugt if gold just stays sideways I can sell puts and make money I can sell calls and make money and my total return over the course of say 3 months is going to be about 20%.
  if gold does nothing with this etf shny your returns going to be basically zero.
  that's why I need to have the ability to sell puts and sell calls and why I will not buy an ETF that does not have options

• 10baggerbamm OP Kim10 : I don't use margin, I do use leverage with leveraged ETFs and options but I don't borrow against equity and use margin to obtain leverage

• 10baggerbamm : patience pays off... when you think gold is down and out that's when institutions are buying it. it's highly manipulated. 46.32. that's going to be a potential near-term resistance. if it clears it it will cross right through 50

• 10baggerbamm OP : here's a longer-term chart and even when the trend is lower which ideally you don't want to buy and hold something when it is gradually trending lower but even when it's trending lower if you bought it when it touched the blue line you made a profit you couldn't get to an oversold point you got to the middle moving average which is the little purple line. but anyway you want to take out your ginsu knife and chop it or cut it or slice it this works so I don't know if this time it's going to recover to an overbought condition but it's going to go back to the moving average because statistically using Bollinger bands 90% of the time the stock will trade in between the high and the low band those are pretty good odds to bet on think of the casino if you could bet on the side of the casino and be right 9 out of 10 times would you do it?

• 10baggerbamm OP Fat ginger cat : they're killing gold every institution is selling it right now because it's considered to be risk off that Trump is going to unite the world. gold will come back I don't know when I mean that's the biggest problem is money is leaving gold it's buying Bitcoin it's buying Tesla you buy gold when you're uncertain about the future and if Trump chips away 2 trillion dollars in waste with Elon Musk there's less of a need to hold gold as a hedge

• 10baggerbamm OP Fat ginger cat : I don't know how many shares you have you could sell a call against it if you have at least a hundred or 200 around lot I mean gold's not going to go down forever and you've got brick countries Brazilian Russia India China that are forming a new currency and it's backed by 40% gold so their buyers of gold what's happening today is just like a technical blowout right now it's completely irrational and the mining companies which is what this is peg to obviously if gold goes down they make less profits when the commodity they sell is at a lower price for the same reason it went up is the reason it's going down because the base metal right now is down from its peak.
