Imagine another 2% SPY day tomorrow lol
I've been DCAing SPY since COVID. 50% performance. Rofl.
And those of us who even just bought a few shares of SPY a week during COVID absolutely printed money when the market recovered.
Did the same with SPY at 1.2% rip
yolo'ing 15k into SPY calls tomorrow. fuck it. this week is the week to do it and its house money at this point anyway.
It is sad to realise SPY hitting ath will create sweet summer bers
I think SPY will have a +1% day. Dumping would be too obvious. Gap up to 1% then flat.
Well, this is all a gross oversimplification anyway as I’m not going back and pricing out 1DTE options for an entire year. Like today the $0.01 ask options are… $865 calls lmao. Which means SPY would have to jump 12% tomorrow for them to get ITM. $11-12 OTM calls today at close are about 20x as expensive as OP paid yesterday. So there’s no guarantee doing this daily would only cost $100 unless you vastly reduced your position on certain days.
SPY always gonna be good but it’s gonna make you cry once or twice for sure
lol JC's portfolio is how big? 5M? thats less than 1% on some of the biggest up moves since last week's bottoms. anyone holding QQQ/SPY or any plain jane ETF would have made more money % wise and dollar wise the past few days
No because the most you can lose in a long option is the price the contract cost. If you buy a $30 call and $30 put on SPY then your max loss is $60
Thanks, but I don't like spread on SPX tbh, and I'm Europoor (poorer east) guy so tax treatment is same trading SPX vs SPY options.
Pour one out for the overnight SPY putholders 🫗
Would SPY ever do a stock split or nah?
SPY honest prediction for tomorrow?

If you're going to keep doing large options on SPY, you might as well use SPX so you can spend less on fees, trade overnight (if your broker allows), and get better tax treatment, assuming you actually make money

No way SPY pumps again right??.. RIGHT?? 🤌
I know there’s a possibility there’s a simple answer to this but I genuinely hope someone can provide me some insight as I’m just trying to learn about how something works. Are the simulated returns on Robinhood accurate? Im asking because yesterday I bought a put option for SPY when the underlying price was 755 and the option was about 34.45, expiration is in March of next year. Now its a day later, one day closer to expiration and SPY has gone up and my option has lost value but when I run the simulation it shows that if the underlying stock went to only 761 is already be back even on my contract price. How is this possible? I figured I’d have to at least get back to the same underlying price or even lower since I’m closer to expiration now.
hahaha 2000 SPY 767 calls. you are my type of regard. at the time, that was a ballsy ass call. goooood moves brother. congrats.
Good thing he's revenge trading SPY puts with the rest. Works every time!
One more unprecedented day for SPY and you can be a millionaire
Turns out we don’t need to achieve world peace. You just need to have the world’s best military and nothing matters. SPY to $1000
SPY puts are the most efficient machine in the world to take money from idiots
Are you the guy who hit 40k off 100 on SPY? You truly are regarded and belong here
The stones to not take any profits on the way up is commendable. I hit on both days 0dte SPY this week and only walked with a little over $6k cuz I’m a bitch. Congrats I hate you
What if no peace deal tomorrow? SPY -1% or -2%
SPY putholders fucked before futes even started
$765 strike on SPY, you're basically betting the whole index takes a nap and wakes up in a different decade that contract looks like it's been through a breakup and a half but hey, a green day is a green day
SPY continuing the moon mission after-hours 🤑
NVDA is just gonna absorb AMD going down and bring SPY green lmao
confirmed: SPY completely flat til it expires.
Only 2 possibilities AMD dip gets bought up and SPY goes another 2% SPY stays flat to screw the bears
Hopefully everyone loaded up on puts today after making money on SPY Calls
Blinked and SPY 760-769.99 happened
"Peace deal today!" - SPY up 2%, oil down 5% "Actually it's definitely tomorrow!" - SPY up 2%, oil down 5% "Well no but certainly this week" - SPY up 2%, oil down 5% "OK so it didnt happen but peace talks going well and also we're going to bomb over the weekend" - SPY up 0.2%, oil up 0.5%
Yes. Most of them in extended hours (the spx ones) whereas the SPY ones were right at market open on the 3rd.
SPCX isn't in SPY and AMD is 1.21% of it. Meanwhile NVDA is going up in AH.

Anybody else buy SPY calls for tomorrow on the dip to 771 at close? 🤔
So AMD is burning. This is exactly why I didn't even bother buying a 775 SPY call this morning for $60 cause I know $60 can buy me groceries definitively today.
AMD & SPCX down. Somehow SPY up AH
This guy is not outperforming long term. Just buy and hold SPY.
I lowkey think SPY will hit 760 close 800
What’s yall think will happen with SPY
Honest question. Why did everyone just go on SPY. I’m new and should stay away from this. But just out of curiosity
Doesn’t mean much rn but SPY doesn’t seem to give a shit about AMD
Last Thursday, I bought 20 SPY 755 calls expiring today. Sold friday before the weekend at break even. Wouldve made $37.5k if i held.
I’m gonna half port (1000 bucks) into otm SPY calls or puts tomorrow, just haven’t decided which
SPY typically goes up 15-20% every year in a bull run. The bear market makes the average 10%
Let’s get a -4% day on SPY tomorrow and feast on the hogs
I think we should stick with SPY
It’s very simple when you understand the concept. Someone wrote (created and sold) a contract (option) that gives the buyer the right but not the obligation (hence the name an option) to buy 100 shares of SPY at 767 each by the end of the 8/04 trading day (OP bought the option yesterday, so upon purchase the option was 1DTE, or 1 day till expiry. An option that gives you the right to buy is called a call option, while one that gives you the right to sell is a put option). These contracts are automatically priced using a formula that takes into account multiple market factors. At the time of writing, SPY was trading at 756. Most of the time, it is very unlikely that SPY is going to rise 11 dollars in a single trading day, hence why the option was basically worthless, priced at 0.01 a share, therefore 1 dollar a contract (a single contract controls 100 shares). The person who wrote (created and sold) this option would be given 1 dollar up front for each contract they write that gets bought. In this case, assuming the same seller wrote all 100 contracts, he would be have 100 dollars up front. The buyer of this contract, OP, has the option to exercise this contract, meaning he could use the contract to buy 100 shares of SPY from the seller of the contract at 767 each. At the time of purchasing the option, this would be an extremely stupid decision. After all, why would you buy 100 shares at 767 when the current price is 756? You’d be losing a lot of money. However, if the price of SPY goes up, the value of the contract goes up, because it becomes more and more likely that 767 (the strike price), will be reached. In OP’s case, any upward movement of SPY would have netted him profit as he bought the option at the absolute lowest possible value. In this case, in this EXTREMELY RARE CASE, SPY rose 12 dollars on the day. OP was mostly likely already up at market open as SPY was at 760, and then ran up even more. At this point, OP has two choices. He can either exercise the contract, or simply sell the contract. As OP had 100 contracts, exercising them all would need an extremely large amount of capital (10,000 x 767). And again, it would only make sense to exercise when SPY has crossed 767, for the same reason as before (why would you buy shares at 767 when SPY is trading at <767?). So he sold the contracts. In the event that SPY does cross 767, and OP does decide to exercise assuming he has the capital to do so, the writer (seller) of the contract would need to buy shares of SPY, which would then be sold to OP at the strike price of 767. For example, if SPY reached 770 and OP exercised the option, the writer would be forced to buy 100 shares of SPY at 770 which would then be sold to OP at 767. In this case it was 100 contracts, so the writer would be forced to buy 10,000 shares which would then be sold to OP at the strike price of 767. Hope this makes sense. It’s a lot of writing but once you understand how it works it’s very intuitive. What’s more complicated is the formulas and methods used to automatically price the options (the Black Scholes formula).
So all the money I made on SPY calls today I immediately lose on AMD. cool cool cool
Made 3k on SPY calls. It probably would've been 10 if I held. This place is wild rn
SPY will be going back to test $754-755. I dont know when, but it will happen. Major resistance there for a month before getting gapped over to start this run up.
SPY is headed for $820-830 by mid September. Then we get the 10% pullback back to $760 before midterms. Then new highs in December. Duh. Bears will short it all the way up and just keep losing.
You’ll short SPY all the way up to $820-830. And keep losing.
So SPY to 4,000 tomorrow? (SPX to $40,000). Since nothing is real than why the fuck not?
We'd SPY 1200 if Bers would stop pouting
I want a SPY flush to 700 within 30 days. Thx
SPY currently not moving a single 0.01% lol
AMD may ruin my SPY call tmr 🤷♂️
Fuck this is the worst case scenario for me if SPY stays at 771
been on vacation for 5 days SPY was at like 745 on thursday now its 772, wtf happened
SNDK to the rescue tomorrow? Or dump SPY back to 750?

Take a second to imagine that we have a full reversal tomorrow because of this and SPY drops 2%. It's not going to happen, but I like to imagine it
SPY up 12.5% this year homie.
Screw it, took profit. Was in SPY and QQQ with massive leverge since then low last week. Whole trading portfolio up 50%. Im taking a break.
Why not just do SPY+SPX again? You got leverage, enough capital to handle risk…
Well you know the drill 🌮 tomorrow SPY +3% tomorrow ^(buy that fucking AMD dip)
I feel so unbelievably sick from buying SPY puts all day today. Did anyone else get completely destroyed? I also lost $862 on Fanduel in the morning. I woke up at 5:30am just to go on and do that sh*t.
