Added another June 19 900 put at 4.70. I'm a believer in your GURU status. ;o)
I played some puts on BYND but it's another cult stock that just gets pushed up.
Congrats to all of the early buyers! Hoping for a double from these levels.
Seems like a common theme with the runners...insiders dump then they broker an offering at highs.
Man I always thought risk on meant gold down. So gold up means they're hedging for risk on? I'm so backwards. *FACEPALM*
Maybe you're seeing an opportunity. Seems like it's turning over.
AAPL gonna fall under the UTL in the next day or two or do we bounce again from here?
http://schrts.co/frnHkWSM
Thinking about getting LT calls for GOLD. But everyone pushing silver now. Any idea where the best place to play LT PM calls would be in this environment? Was playing GDX for a bit but maybe looking elsewhere if there's more leverage.
Buying back in today. Hoping to get shares lower, but happy this hasn't gotten away from me (yet).
3100 r1 and middle of large red candle on the weekly. Think we make it there or even higher on this move? Pivot on the weekly is 3005 so maybe a bit of chop around this area.

Sorry to hijack this board with something non-index-related, but any chance PENN was a blow off top today?
http://schrts.co/ZgvniyDx
Been reading that, both on your board and others. I think you said when that leads it means risk on. Am I remembering correctly?
Sold one of my SPY 300 calls at 8.13 this morning from 5.xx. Still holding one to see where we go from here.
The problem is most of us look at the situation too logically. The market will find a reason to do whatever it wants. The usual reason is it looks "ahead" so everything is baked in. Whatever, the talking heads will make it do what they want so it benefits them and screws the most retail. I'm still too logical and don't listen to trend, but Jerry's approach has me looking at things differently, even though my actions are not reflecting the change as much LOL!!!
So you think 3100+ is coming this week or do we sputter around in a tight range like we did the after the last massive gap up?
Wow, I'm shocked. But Germany, especially when it comes to financial policy, is one of the more sane countries out there. We're certainly towards the bottom of the list LOL ;o)
Thanks Seek. GLTY as well.
Here's the 31.99...
http://schrts.co/CBqfqjZR
Thanks, Glen!!! I am up to my ears in June 19th puts but it's nonstop buying. I just keep trusting my gut that it's up almost 100% in a week and SHOULD pull back soon. Thinking they may take it to 31.99 to give it an official double, but who knows. Crooks run the show these days so you never know their plan.
Thanks again and be safe!
Been buying June 19th 24 and 29 puts the last few days and I'm pretty far underwater. The daily volume and price movement is unbelievable. Will they take this to 31.99 or was today the last? Regardless of whether you believe this price is justified, the fact that the PPS has risen almost 100% in the last week should mean this needs a breather soon.
My one conspiracy theory is they release some crazy positive news soon.
I have some June 19 $300 calls and plenty of puts. We'll see what happens by then.
Whatever it takes to get markets to spike for T.
Thanks!
20MA and middle BB there. Lots of rez. If it breaks we go for 2975 real fast then probably 3000. Middle of next large red candle is 3100.
Holding the 20MA. You think it continues to fall?
What's up everyone! Joining the party. Thanks for the heads up, Seek. Seems quiet here. LOL!
Gotta make it flat for today to burn premiums?
Gotta pump it for those 10m options the member of the administration has ..
Always after hours. Can't let the rest of us partake in any of the spoils.
I've been buying June 19 $24 and $28 puts for the last few days. ;o) And I've been watching volume for the exact reason you mentioned. I thought yesterday was it and we'd have a topping candle today but it went another 10%. It surpassed R1 on the weekly at 29.35 but it's so close I assume it's going to 30+. Just can't believe the amount of buying happening. It seems like it's gonna take an act of war to get it to pull back more than a few %.

FIORE GOLD REPORTS RECORD FISCAL Q2 GOLD PRODUCTION AND OPERATING CASH FLOW
May 21, 2020
TSXV–F
OTCQB–FIOGF
FSE–2FO
Vancouver, British Columbia – FIORE GOLD LTD. (TSXV: F) (OTCQB: FIOGF) (FSE-2FO) (“Fiore” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the second fiscal quarter (“Q2 2020”) ended March 31, 2020, have been filed with the securities regulatory authorities and are available at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.fioregold.com.
Fiscal Q2 2020 Highlights
(all figures in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated)
Operating & Financial
Q2 gold production of 12,085 ounces representing a production record for the Pan Mine and a 38% increase compared to Q1 2020
Gold sales of 12,026 ounces at an average realized price of $1,576 per ounce, all sales unhedged
Recorded quarterly revenues of $19.0 million with mine operating income of $5.3 million
Net income of $2.9 million
Generated Pan operating cash flow1 of $6.0 million and consolidated operating cash flow of $3.9 million, both records for Fiore Gold
Closing cash balance of $9.1 million, an increase of $2.6 million relative to our last reported cash balance as of December 31, 2019
Strengthened balance sheet with net working capital of $28.7 million as of March 31, 2020
Mined ore production in Q2 of 14,177 tons per day with a stripping ratio of 1.8:1.0 and grade of 0.016 ounces/ton
Q2 2020 Pan Mine AISC1 per ounce sold of $1,099 and cash costs per ounce sold1 of $983
Q2 2020 Fiore consolidated AISC1 of $1,196 per ounce sold
Mining costs of $2.01 per ton mined demonstrate continued operational efficiencies
73,555 total site man-hours worked in Q2 with one reportable incident and zero lost-time injuries
Mining declared an essential business in Nevada and the Pan Mine continues to operate with strict protocols in place focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees
We are pleased to reiterate our 2020 production and cost guidance
Organic Growth
Pan drill results released May 12, 2020 continue to expand oxide gold mineralization, with a resource and mine plan update expected in the second half of 2020
Results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) released on April 9th demonstrating positive economics for the Gold Rock project with opportunities to further enhance value. On May 13, 2020, Fiore Gold filed the related technical report.
Completed construction of the Pan to Gold Rock access road
On May 19, 2020, Fiore Gold announced a 2.0 million ounce measured and indicated resource at its Golden Eagle Project in Washington State, USA
Tim Warman, Fiore’s CEO commented, “Fiore’s achievements in Q2 continue to advance our goal of becoming a multi-asset US gold producer. The Pan Mine set multiple records in profitability and cash flow with production increasing and costs declining quarter on quarter. Pan continues to be our cornerstone asset allowing us to advance the adjacent Gold Rock property without diluting our shareholders. With a strengthened balance sheet, a positive PEA, and the access road constructed, we are now taking the next steps to move Gold Rock toward feasibility. And with the subsequently announced 2 million ounce resource at Golden Eagle, we hope to drive even further shareholder value. We continue to recognize the inherent risk posed by COVID-19. The health and safety of our employees comes first as they are the foundation of our success in Nevada. We have put a range of operating protocols in place to best mitigate the risk to them. We are fortunate that we have no reported cases at site and continue to operate with minimal disruption.”
Review of Operating Results
Three Months Ended

Ore tons and total tons mined were higher than the prior year as mining efficiencies allowed us to achieve the required increase in stripping ratio, which is the primary driver for the increase in Pan and Fiore consolidated AISC1 relative to the prior year. As indicated in our guidance, strip ratio is expected to decline in the second half of 2020. Gold ounces mined in the quarter improved relative to 2019 due to increased ore tons and ore grade mined. The quarter also benefitted from some higher-grade areas of the ore deposit that were mined earlier in the year than planned. Gold production of 12,085 ounces was higher than the prior year quarter due to the increased recoveries related to the installation of the primary crusher.

Please refer to “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” at the end of this news release for a description of these non-IFRS financial measures and to the Non-IFRS Financial measures in the March 31, 2020 Management’s Discussion and Analysis for a reconciliation to operating costs from the Company’s interim financial statements.
Key Developments
Pan Mine
With Pan operating well, we continue our focus on drilling to expand the resource and reserves, and increase mine life. Initial results of the current resource expansion drill program were announced on December 10, 2019. Subsequent to the quarter-end, on May 12, 2020, we released drill results on a further sixty-four holes drilled at several locations around the main North Pan pits, as well as the smaller Syncline and Black Stallion satellite pits. The holes were intended to test the potential to expand the existing oxide reserves both at depth and laterally beyond the current reserve boundaries.
Highlights from these sixty-four holes, all from the North Pan area, include:
Hole PR20-006 returned 32.0 metres of 0.75 g/t gold
Hole PR20-008 returned 30.5 metres of 0.76 g/t gold
Hole PR20-013 returned 27.4 metres of 0.74 g/t gold
Hole PR20-016 returned 38.1 metres of 0.92 g/t gold
Hole PR20-031 returned 25.9 metres of 0.74 g/t gold
Hole PR20-040 returned 74.7 metres of 0.74 g/t gold
Hole PR20-052 returned 27.4 metres of 0.68 g/t gold
Hole PR20-053 returned 30.5 metres of 0.60 g/t gold
Hole PR20-055 returned 15.2 metres of 2.60 g/t gold
Gold Rock
On April 9, 2020, we announced results from a PEA completed for the federally permitted Gold Rock gold project located approximately 8 miles southeast of the Pan Mine. This PEA represents the first ever economic and technical analysis of mining at Gold Rock and shows the project can deliver solid returns for a modest capital investment. The PEA provides an updated mineral resource estimate and a base case assessment of developing the Project as a satellite open pit operation that will share significant infrastructure and management with the adjacent Pan Mine. The PEA also identifies a considerable number of opportunities to enhance the project economics as Gold Rock advances to the Feasibility stage by drilling to increase the mineral resource, further metallurgical testing aimed at improving recoveries, and geotechnical drilling aimed at reducing the stripping ratio. On May 13, 2020, Fiore filed the related technical report.
We have prepared a detailed development plan for Gold Rock that lays out the drilling, metallurgical testing, engineering, state permitting, and other activities required to advance the project towards production. Based on our experience operating the nearby Pan Mine, we intend to proceed directly from the PEA to a Feasibility Study in order to shorten the development timeframe. To assist drilling and on-going work related to the Feasibility Study, we completed the construction of an access road connecting Pan and Gold Rock
Rio Loa
In February 2020, Fiore entered into an agreement with a private Chilean company to assign all of our obligations under the Rio Loa Option Agreement. The divestment of Rio Loa focuses the Company firmly on the United States, one of the world’s top mining jurisdictions.

Relative to the prior year quarter, Fiore demonstrated improvements on all profitability and cash flow measures noted above. This was due to record gold production and the benefit of higher realized gold prices, offset in part by higher costs related to increased stripping.
Our liquidity and financial position strengthened with a higher cash balance of $9.1 million and working capital of $28.7 million. Refer to the Company’s MD&A and Financial Statements for additional information. The improvement in financial strength puts Fiore in a good position to continue to progress our growth assets and mitigate potential risks posed by COVID-19.

Corporate Strategy
Our corporate strategy is to grow Fiore Gold into a 150,000 ounce per year gold producer. To achieve this, we intend to:
grow gold production at the Pan Mine while also growing the reserve and resource base;
advance exploration and development of the nearby Gold Rock project; and
acquire additional production or near-production assets to complement our existing operations

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in this document, as discussed below. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” are non-IFRS financial performance measures. Adjusted net earnings excludes the following from net earnings: certain impairment charges (reversals) related to intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and investments; gains (losses) and other one-time costs relating to acquisitions or dispositions; foreign currency translation gains (losses); significant tax adjustments not related to current period earnings; unrealized gains (losses) on non-hedge derivative instruments; and the tax effect and non-controlling interest of these items. The Company uses this measure internally to evaluate our underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented and to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results. We believe that adjusted net earnings are a useful measure of our performance because these adjusting items do not reflect the underlying operating performance of our business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
We have adopted “all-in sustaining costs” measures for the Pan Mine and Fiore as a consolidated group, consistent with guidance issued by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) on June 27, 2013. We believe that the use of all-in sustaining costs is helpful to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in assessing our operating performance, our ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and our overall value. These measures are helpful to governments and local communities in understanding the economics of gold mining. The “all-in sustaining costs” measure is an extension of existing “cash cost” metrics and incorporates costs related to sustaining production. The WGC definition of all-in sustaining costs seeks to extend the definition of total cash costs by adding reclamation and remediation costs, exploration and study costs, capitalized stripping costs, corporate general and administrative costs and sustaining capital expenditures to represent the total costs of producing gold from current operations. All-in sustaining costs exclude income tax, interest costs, depreciation, non-sustaining capital expenditures, non-sustaining exploration expense and other items needed to normalize earnings. Therefore, these measures are not indicative of our cash expenditures or overall profitability.
“Total cash cost per ounce sold” is a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry but has no standard meaning under IFRS. The Company reports total cash costs on a sales basis. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure, along with sales, is considered to be a key indicator of a Company’s ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. “Costs of sales per ounce sold” adds depreciation and depletion and share based compensation allocated to production to the cash costs figures.
Total cash costs figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is considered the accepted standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary, and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies.
“Total cash costs per ounce”, “cost of sales per ounce”, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce”, “Pan operating income” and “Pan operating cash flow” are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate the measure differently.
“Average realized price” is a financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS. Management uses this measure to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for gold sales. Average realized price excludes from revenues unrealized gains and losses, if applicable, on non-hedge derivative contracts. The average realized price is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS; it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.

LOL!!
I added another June 19 Spy 300 call on that dip so that would make sense LOL!
GLENO and CCI team, can someone please provide comments on the PENN chart? I'm bucking the trend and buying puts, but it seems unstoppable until maybe 30+. TIA!
When did we hit 275?
Thanks, Jerry. That doesn't help my options unless we open down. ;o)
Think ES makes it down to 2935 before heading back to 2970? Seems like it's finding support around this area.
Been accumulating TZA June 19 $40 calls *GULP* and TZA/UVXY in my 401k. Also have some SPY June 19 $300 calls to hedge. Right now I'm barely staying awake LOL.
Market knows it, but they also know they have a safety net so BUY BUY BUY. Gotta lure in all the retail before crashing.
Hit the 20MA. You were on it.
