Gold has had a pretty spectacular run here, leaping $220 in a straight line from $1,020.

As a result, our position in the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) March, 2016 $107-$112 in-the-money vertical bull call spread is nearly at its maximum potential profit point.

Thanks to your faith in the barbarous relic, you have earned a 15.4% trading profit in just 12 trading days.

WELL DONE!

This is the second time in 2016 we have booked a profit in gold.

There is no point is hanging on for nine more trading days just to catch the last three cents in this spread.

Gold turned out to be the perfect asset to own in a negative interest rate (NIRP) world. Place money on deposit with a bank, and in two thirds of the world they will charge you money for the privilege.

Not so with gold.

Since I think that (NIRP) will be with us for the rest of the year, so will the bull market in gold. Therefore, I plan to jump back in on the first $50 pull back in the yellow metal.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.

Don?t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
