This trades like a stock. What you can do is buy this stock and sell calls, basically doing a covered call strategy. With that money you received from selling the calls. You can use that to buy your puts as protection. So, in essence, you got free protective puts. Happy Trading, Jun If you want to speculate on gold, you can purchase an ETF for gold called GLD.

Tomorrow I would be a seller of the precious metals, big time! Gold has run up $120 in 2 days. Time for a pull-back. In fact, it will probably resume its downward direction for quite awhile given the strength of the dollar and the stablization of the stock market. Today is Thurs. the 18th.
