Framework

Gold, expressed
with precision.

Options are instruments of geometry. Used with care, they let us translate a view on gold — bullish, cautious, patient, or defensive — into a position with clearly bounded risk and clearly defined intent.

The Palette

Six structures we return to.

These are illustrative — the strategy for any client is composed from these primitives.

01
Bullish

Long Call

Buy the right to purchase gold at a strike price. Simple bullish expression with defined downside.

Risk
Premium paid
Upside
Uncapped
02
Insurance

Protective Put

Own gold; buy a put to floor the position. Insurance against drawdown.

Risk
Premium paid
Upside
Retained
03
Bullish (measured)

Bull Call Spread

Buy a call, sell a higher call. Reduce cost in exchange for a capped upside.

Risk
Net debit
Upside
Capped
04
Bracket outcomes

Collar

Around an existing position — buy a put, sell a call. Bracket the outcome band.

Risk
Often near zero
Upside
Capped
05
Income + entry

Cash-Secured Put

Sell a put on gold at a level you'd be happy to buy. Collect premium; potentially acquire.

Risk
Capital at strike
Upside
Premium
06
Income

Covered Call

Own gold; sell a call to generate yield from patient holdings.

Risk
Opportunity cost
Upside
Premium + strike

A Note on Risk

Options carry real risk.

Options can expire worthless. Selling options can involve exposure that exceeds the premium collected. Gold prices are volatile and can move sharply on macro news. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
