Trade Idea: GDX December $26 Call or NUGT equity long

I was looking at liquidity for October, it was actually quite a bit better for December so I decided I'll go with a December (monthly) $26 call position.

I do like NUGT long as well, this is 3x leverage and if there's a longer trend in GDX, I prefer NUGT to capture more of that trend, especially if I need GDX as a hedge against another position as NUGT will be a longer lasting position than GDX (at least the way I use options).
