thought QQQ will go back to ATH. got brent back to ATH instead
Why are people saying it’s a red day - just checked QQQ up 0.4% and SPY up 0.1% futures
Potential crash aside, QQQ is a fund for active investors who want to pretend they're passive investing. It's only as popular as it is thanks to having a first mover advantage and the way GICS classifies sectors. People invest in it because it's a proxy for higher-beta US tech (to the point where platforms that don't want to pay the Nasdaq fees call it the 'Tech 100'), and it's fairly conventionally accepted wisdom in retail spaces to 'have 20%+ in QQQ for higher gains'. But it's not actually a purely market cap weighted tech fund. The Nasdaq-100 is actually one of two sister indexes, with the other one being their top 100 financial companies. So banks are excluded, but QQQ holders end up buying Walmart and Costco because they're Nasdaq-listed, and don't buy tech companies like Reddit that happen to be NYSE-listed. It's also not been purely market cap weighted since 1998, and weird things would happen if a single stock managed to exceed 25% of the total Nasdaq-100, or companies with individual weights of more than 4.5% exceed 48% of the index - QQQ would begin selling the offenders off. Then there's the abusive recent float adjustment rule and direct entry changes they made to bribe Musk into listing SpaceX. A company that lists on the Nasdaq at 5% float is now weighted as if it's 15%, QQQ holders are forced to compete for the in reality smaller pool of shares after just 15 days, and the insiders laugh all the way to the bank. VOO is legally classified as a 'diversified' fund, but QQQ is not. In theory, a dedicated US tech ETF would be a much cleaner and more honest semi-active high risk, high reward fund. The reason it doesn't exist is because the mainstream idea of 'tech' includes Amazon (tech by revenue, a low margin consumer cyclical by what they spend money on), Google and Meta (classified as 'communications' by GICS) and Tesla (a struggling car company with a massive speculative premium). If you use the industry-standard GICs rules like XLK does, you only end up with three of the Mag7 (Microsoft, Nvidia and Apple). If you buy another ETF for communications, you get saddled with Verizon. If you buy consumer cyclicals, you get Home Depot along with Amazon. If you buy one of those 'Mag7' ETFs, you're performance chasing and don't buy Broadcom (larger than two of the Mag7 currently). The Nasdaq happens to have all seven listed and most of the other big tech companies, so it's become the default. And big IPOs now have an easy way to harvest QQQ holders for liquidity thanks to the Nasdaq's conflict of interest as both an index provider directing a trillion dollars in other people's money, and an exchange with a vested interest in having those IPOs go to them and not the NYSE.
Why do you use QQQ over QQQM or IQQ? Lower expense ratios with the latter two.
what the fun in that :) I keep at least 50% of it in VOO/QQQ but I am still hopeful I can learn and beat it even if not by a lot
how clutch would it be if QQQ opened at 800 tmrw?
I like this little speculative startup called QQQ. It has potential, and it feels good to get in early.
Are we in 1999? No. Invest into QQQ. These are the best companies in the planet.
the complacency of redditors to full port QQQ/SPMO because it backtests well for the past 15 years is actually astounding
QQQ at 719 but you’d think we’d be at all time highs the way these bulls are acting🤣🤣🤣
That's exactly why QQQ was created at the time. To bait in exit liquidity. Because smart money already knew what was about to happen.
As someone who was alive and investing from the 90's onward, the dot com bust was brutal and I doubt anyone DCA'd into QQQ for 15 years. Tech stocks were so out of favor at that time nobody was bullish and especially those who got burned in the crash. Watching the money you put in with every paycheck be worth less a week later was relentless. The headlines were bearish, 9/11 was devastating. The market was closed almost two weeks. Imagine that. The last thing anyone was concerned about was how QQQ was doing. Bear markets wear you out. And then just when it looked like the market was getting some traction the GFC savaged everyone's retirement accounts again. Ugh. Sure, the eventual lesson is that things turn around. But retirees who were 100% stocks, or even 60% stocks, in 1999 had a pretty miserable time. Can it happen again? As someone who is now retired, it crosses my mind.....
I've owned QQQ since about a year or so after it opened and I'm up 1,700 %.
Give me a 3%+ QQQ day this week.
Man some of you are so risk averse. QQQ has doubled in the last 5 years. To get this kind of growth you need to accept some risk, including the occasional crash
After reading this, I have loaded 12 QQQ calls struck at 750 expiring Jan 2027

QQQ have a gigantic gap at 700. Will it go for a fill?
i’m so tempted to full port into ATM QQQ calls for 11 sept
I guess I’ll just get QQQ calls because not sure which AI trade that got beat yesterday and today is it
I like a diversified portfolio of 0-3 DTE QQQ options, extra diversified by selecting different far OTM strikes
The assumption is when the lockup expires the insiders will sell, the lunch lady will cash out and buy a house, bringing the price down. One the other side though is the index funds like QQQ have to buy SPCX in proportion to the amount of publicly traded shares, so when a lockup expires and more shares become publicly traded, the index funds are forced to buy proportionally more, bringing the price up. Not sure which one has the bigger impact.
Great discount on QQQ 718c 0dte
I almost convinced myself that QQQ calls look cheap.
I’ll confess something… I’d love to see a Shrek move in QQQ like the one we saw in MRNA today.
QQQ 725 end of day!!
TACO doesn't pump QQQ to 730
QQQ please dont do the naughty thank you
Well I decided all or nothing- I am truly a regard \+75 QQQ 710 puts 0DTE FOMC minutes either going to make me rich or close out my portfolio for a bit
Tech slow burn upwards, QQQ +1.5% eod

Shit. Down big on my QQQ 0dte puts
Nice bull trap on QQQ. Bought more puts.
Waiting for QQQ to stop being a bitch some day
Bearish QQQ but mildly bullish SPY. There's been a divergence
Should have went into small caps instead of this piece of shit QQQ.
why doesn't QQQ like new not-QE from Bessent?
S&P500 super green, QQQ red
The year is 2031. QQQ is at 715, SPY is 2000

Successfully revenge traded 0DTE QQQ puts to offset my META call losses LMAO 🤌

Hello guys, im QQQ and i like jumping off the cliff
Ready for our +2% QQQ day today
Well… looks like a good day so far to calls on “stuff”… 8 minutes to casino time! SPCX, MRVL, and QQQ to the moon!
QQQ doin' a +3% day because my calls expired yesterday. :*)
QQQ doin' a +3% day because my calls expired yesterday. :*)
Depends what you want to trade, for 0DTE most people trade SPY or QQQ. These are ETFs. SPY tracks the S&P 500 pretty closely so if you trade that its price will be roughly 1/10 of the S&P and follow it closely.
Is all this good for my EOW QQQ calls I bought the day before yesterday?
3% QQQ day and I quit gambling
It's crazy that QQQ & SPY took a pile o'shit and left it there stankin
Maybe I should start calculating the QQQ 702P I got as well so the reversal happens, idk
So uh... I expect nothing less than QQQ750 eow because I bought those regarded 750c from one of you guys
Except the PE on the mag7/hyper scalers are all pretty reasonable right now. They account for a bulk of tech (QQQ) and have mostly all corrected for the past 3 months The only really overpriced sector is memory still (MU, SKHY, SNDK etc)
spy and QQQ were red on monday, we pump, then yesterday and today shit the bed. Not sure how that makes any sense, oil and bonds were high as shit on monday too.
I am pleased to announce that I have QQQ 709 1DTE’s. Therefore, we rip tonight.
Noice. Peeled off two holding 13 for more red this week. Mix of SPY QQQ. Only wish I’d got more
Paper handed QQQ $730 puts, assaulted by teenagers on the train Life is rough 😭
KOSPI and NIKKEI used double team on QQQ and its very effective!
opened a small QQQ call credit spread position for Friday at close 😎
In a blink of an eye, QQQ will gap up 740
Give me QQQ ATH now. SPY had it's chance.
As I said to the other guy - the spread on SPY/QQQ right now is 8 and 5 cents respectively in overnight trading, let alone a few minutes after market close. You're a moron who doesn't know anything pretending you do.
Asia is starting to dump… I may take some QQQ 680 lottos going into the weekend at this rate…
why did you think QQQ would go your way
I was hoping to wake up to 715 QQQ, not fall asleep to it! Guess I’ll actually sleep well then!
QQQ -2.5% or +1.5% nothing in between
QQQ puts should pay nicely I only wish I had kept my 0DTE bag for tomorrow, 8/21 it is
