GOLD Barrick Gold Options Ahead of Earnings

After we hit the 1st price target in the last chart:

Now you should know that GOLD, Barrick Gold Corporation, is the usual suspect against the higher inflation numbers.
Looking at the GOLD Barrick Gold options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the $18 strike price Calls with
2023-3-17 expiration date for about
$0.81 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, I would sell at least 50%.

Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

Trade closed: target reached:

GOLD finally reached the Strike Price on the expiration date.
