Coop, do you use Level 2 in your trade method? If so, how do you view it? A list? Chart?

No I don’t have anything but standard. I see a lot of stuff from those lv 2, lv 3. Honestly I don’t know if I could handle that much into haha!

My SLV is up over 100% since I bought it in March. The question is.......how high will silver and gold go.

How low will the USD with the monetization of debt?

Got on Kronos early this morn PT. I think it still has some room to move up.
TGB is what I’m watching close. Grabbed a small portion middle of the day. Should get a bunch more in the morn.

We use a fair bit of gold and some silver based material in our plant, so we see some forecasting for precious metals material demand. All I can say is we are increasing our inventory right now as the expectation is that the price will continue to climb for a while.

Aphria looking like the leader of Canadian pot companies. They seemed to be turning the ship around from 3 years ago.

What Is a Call Option and How to Use It With Example

A call option is a contract that gives the option buyer the right to buy an underlying asset at a specified price within a specific time period.

Options vs. Stocks: What's the Difference? | The Motley Fool

If you're thinking of trading stocks or options, it's good to know a thing or two about them. Here we will walk through the pros and cons of options vs stocks.

Essentially buying the right to purchase 100 of one stock at a set price with an expiration date.

It's pretty much gambling on the company doing well or worse by a certain date. You can sell your right to purchase the shares instead of exercising the option to buy. It's very dangerous and I only started dipping my toes into it.

Highly suggest reading before engaging in it!

Good call, you can definitely make some good money and it's a great way to provide insurance for a large position you invest in a company. But you can lose money very quickly.

I fully expect our currency to go belly up eventually, just like our nation is. But by that time (which could be much sooner than later the way things are going), gold, silver, or dollars probably won't matter much.

Options are calls/puts. Call is selling or buying the right to shares on a date. Put is buying or selling the right to sell shares on a date at a given price.

Conceptually you are trading the frosting on a cake w/o buying the cake itself, as such the a percentage movement of the base stock will push the option prices around in a much larger magnitude. That means big gains or big losses.

Selling uncovered calls/puts has limitless loss potential. Selling covered calls (you own the stock the shares are sold against the risk is tied to the base stock and also you are agreeing to limit your gains to whatever strike price you sold plus the premium to sell the strike if its in the money at expiration). Buying calls/puts your exposure is the cost of the call/put, you can't lose more than that.

If the stock is climbing (or you think its climbing) you buy calls and sell later at higher cost. If you think the stock is gonna fall you buy puts and sell them later.

Some folks have a hard time wrapping their head around the fact just because you buy a call doesn't mean you have ANY intention of ever actually getting those shares, you're just trading the opportunity. That opportunity has an actual value (any amount in the money) and a time value (all that extra cost) that decays over time, the time value also varies wildly depending on how the option market is feeling about the stock.

I've been dabbling, I'll say you better be ready to ride out some roller coasters esp. if the option isn't very far out in time (less time value which means the movements are amplified further), have had values drop to 50% and then climb to 150% in hours.
