You're Invited: GYP Office Hours — Trading Precious Metals
Live Member Event · Tomorrow, Friday June 26
This week’s whole story has been precious metals — silver at its lowest since November, gold off its highs, the inflation-hedge trade unwinding fast. So that’s exactly what we’re digging into.
Join Tony Battista and Tony Rihan live tomorrow for a GYP Office Hours focused entirely on how to trade gold, silver, and the metals complex — across stocks, ETFs, and futures. We’ll cover the instruments, the structures we use, position sizing across vehicles, and how we’re thinking about the metals right now.
What We’ll Cover — The Metals Playbook
The vehicles, and when to use which — physical-backed ETFs (GLD, SLV), the miners (GDX, GDXJ, individual names), and the futures (/GC gold, /SI silver, plus the micros /MGC and /SIL) — what each gives you and what it costs you
Options on metals — selling premium on GLD/SLV, defined-risk structures, and how the recent volatility changes strike selection
Sizing across instruments — how a futures contract stacks up against the ETF and the miners, so you can size a metals position to your account, not someone else’s
Gold vs. silver vs. the miners — why they don’t move the same, the leverage in mining stocks, and the gold/silver ratio as a tell
Reading the macro — the dollar, real rates, and the inflation-hedge unwind driving this week’s selloff, and what would turn the tape
Your questions — bring them; we’ll take as many as time allows
Whether you’ve never traded a metals contract or you’re already running positions, this one’s built to make you sharper across the whole complex. Grab a coffee and bring your questions.
