Buy GLD (calendar call spread)

Buy GLD May/Jun 147 calendar call spread
GLD @141.7 new all time highs today.

GLD breaks out from a base. My target is 147, which would correspond to $1500 for physical spot. Profit range on the calendar spread is 4 points around 147, or 143 to 151. So it bullish, but only mildly bullish. Time is a factor too, May expiration would be the best time to land on 147. Decay eats away if GLD stagnates here.

A calendar spread consists of buying the out month, and selling the earlier month.
Buy GLD Jun 147 calls
Sell GLD May 147 calls

Long EEM, GDX, GLD, IWM, SPY, TBT/TLT
