The metals options market is absolutely bonkers right now.

I have A Guy who manages my portfolio, for the healthy fee of 0.1% per month, so this is probably not good advice for anyone who handles their own stuff, but it's just too mindboggling not to share…

So far year to date, so the last 21 days…I'm up 36%. Looking back through the transactions, about half of that is metals options, and most of the rest has been been in metals mining companies. Some Nvidia puts because it's headed for a cliff, but so much gold and silver. And a few things on wildly variable stocks, but given where I am right now I trust he knows what he's doing.
