What equity product could I trade that follows spot gold the closest? $XAU didn't do it for me. GLD doesn't have options listed on them. This product needs to have liquid options on them also. Thanks in advance.
For now your best bet is playing with options on the futures contract, GC at the Comex Exchange. Good luck...
I don't have a futures broker, nor do I want one. Optionpro007, can I score some long May CGM6 600 straddles from you? I'll pay $34.00 per spread, whaddya say?
Well, excuseeee me. You ask a question, you get an answer and the pimp comes out of you..... very funny....
you could trade the new GLD, gold ETF. I don't believe that there are any options trading on it yet though, but maybe soon.
