SPY

Happy_Discussion_536

Those who consistently don't go for 5x as the common outcome. But your best shot is probably Jan 650c on SPY if there's a big dip.

NeverSlowplay

Lost 33k buying small dips on crypto early March of this year when market kept going down, held through April and sold only down 5k, then got into options not knowing what I was doing and lost 10k on puts in May, then lost another 10k in 0DTE TSLA calls in June, may 15k of it back buying calls on the GOOGL breach dip, then lost 28k on HOOD/GOOG calls a few days later and made it all back and a little cream from yoloing the rest of what I had into GOOG calls. My most recent achievement is 8k in puts on Friday in 0DTE SPY going -2k in about 30 mintues, getting annoyed and selling them, then buying 40k worth of calls on the small upwards momentum just before noon and making that 2k back + another 700 in about 30 seconds

Whats a good stock to buy puts on in case theres drama in Q3/early Q4. SPY? i see people also buy costco puts as a general hedge against trumps antics.

So are you done actively trading, just going to go into dividend and SPY and bonds? Nah, I think not. Not since you're posting here

How many letters must 🥭 send to distract from T H E L I S T CHYNA 69% tarrif tmw SPY $599 open Monday

well_acktually

I think this is the time he keeps them on. He wants attention away from Epstein *and* Trump reacts when the market reacts and right now the market just isn't reacting at all to his threats. Plus at ATH maybe the downturn won't be so bad and only drop it to 590s until the real effects take place in a year or two and it starts to tank. Trump is also annoyed at the TACO shit and his ego will take over. He's also had win after win after win. He keeps doing blatantly stupid things and getting everyone to fall in line to get it done. He has wanted tariffs forever, and this presidency is his last time to ram them through. Hey, it may not happen. But just in case I've bought 10 grand worth of SPY puts for Jan 2026 to hedge the rest of my portfolio in case we tank again like in April.

24/7 market with unlimited day trades for everyone. SPY would go to $1000 or $50 in 2 weeks

Mcariman

I’m terrified the bottom is going to drop out. So I’m mostly sitting on the sidelines now…so I expect SPY will notice I’m out of it and hit 1000 by years end 😂

ICallASpadeASpade

Gonna be a real punch to bears’ grundles when SPY moons on Monday

cheddarben

I do have some SPY puts, so I wouldn't be 100% mad if there wasn't a good blip down. Fear does seem to be muted though.

ebfeebfe

The higher tariffs go, the more SPY rises. It's gravity, but retarded.

Forsaken-Pay-8063

I would only do leaps on gold, silver and platinum miners. I don't expect SPY to do well in a year or equities in general.

Throwingdartsmouth

SPY is going up. Get over it. God loves America.

VOO, QQQ, SPY. Take your pick

Mr kashyap Patel swindled the conspiracy crowd and likely made millions, far better strategy than buying SPY puts expiring Monday

Kindly_Guess7290

Thanks for your comment. I’ve honestly just stopped trading SPY and assets like it in recent weeks just because of the possibility of a random social media post cooking the entire play. It’s just so unpredictable. I’ll definitely keep with the news though and look for a play depending on what happens with the entire tariff situation. It’s just hard to see a significant put play happening even with the tariff news given the past 3 months you know

PooPooPointBoiz

Honestly with this administration kneecapping literally every fucking industry in the US, I don't understand how SPY just hit ATH's and the stock market is doing fine.

Ultimus_Omegus

You can set a stop on the option premium itself or set an alert. If you are using a stop though make sure the asset is liquid like the SPY to avoid slippage

HomingSunlight

I'm not too worried about my SPY 625C 7/21 @ $3.9 because judging from recent trends it somehow goes back up quick. The question is do I average down? Or wait until it inevitably breaks even and sell?

Jluns

This is a bad idea as you can only replace so much of a blown account in a Roth per year. If you have a Roth you should be trying to max out your yearly contribution. What I do is max contribute, buy SPY, and sell way out of the money covered calls for premium. You need to protect your IRA investments. If you do trade options, make them leaps. Expensive up front but virtually no theta decay at first

$SPY opens Monday at $640.

Bladee___Enthusiast

SPY +0.7% monday

Euphoric-Magazine300

Don't buy Puddies Peeps... buy volatility. UVXY was super low, way cheaper than SPY Puts and for a longer time period.

dorkstar1

Market will drop -0.25% and when mango retracts , will reach SPY650

P-Diddy-69

I just need SPY to drop 5% between now and Oct 17th, and I'll be taking the family on a nice ski trip this year. I'd say my chances are pretty good. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Shacreme

I have my ES contracts ready. I didn’t like using SPY puts to hedge my portfolio last time in the Spring.

Vlmlee

Bers still think SPY 600 is resistance

seanie_baby

So umm SPY gonna drop on Monday 😅

Ok-Maximum6662

You know what's crazy? I perfectly predicted trump tariff rerun on friday by buying 1DTE puts on thursday, and followed it up by buying puts at the highest point on friday expiring on monday. I might be god. I didn't buy any other SPY/QQQ puts this entire month. I might be god. I knew he would do it because he needed to please his brothers in billionarism with gains on their shorts and a dippy to divvy.

Happy_Discussion_536

Are we talking about emotional morons that could easily come out of the woodwork for one day or do you agree SPY ends 650 by EOY? Bc if we're on the same page about the latter then we gucci.

United-Prompt1393

That just means i always buy calls on $SPY

D74248

>Sounds great that it is up 95% since Inception about 8 years ago, but in that time VTI/SPY has tripled and NASDAQ has quadrupled Hindsight is indeed a superpower. Look at how VTI/SPY and the Nasdaq did 2000 to 2010. Managing a portfolio in retirement is very different from managing one during the accumulation phase, and it appears that your patent's FA was working to mitigate sequence of returns risk. Mucking about in family finances is very dangerous. If you get involved and there is a major market correction you may get the blame for the shrinking value. IMO the most you should do is encourage them to talk to one or two other financial advisors to see if they want to switch.

Same-Brilliant2014

SPY baby! Shits been moving like a meme

It’s the dollar getting turned into a shitcoin, SPY is still about 12% down from Feb highs from EUR perspective

ICallASpadeASpade

In trembling with anticipation of markets opening on Monday. Dumb dumbs are going to sell at OPEN and I’m going to load up on cheap deep 0DTE SPY calls. After the market pumps to ATHs, I’ll be rich as a can be. Mentally preparing to resign from work permanently on Tuesday 🚀🚀🚀

It is great honor for me to send you this message: SPY calls on Monday shall print.

Never thought of wheeling SOXL. How’s that working out vs SPY?

SPY 670 is technical ATH with $ depreciation. That’s my theory

Give it a day or so and then SPY leaps.

EU gonna respond. Markets open Blood Red.on Monday.... but do they recover? SPY down 1 to 2%. Not this time as markets are tired of this taco bullshit.

SPY 700 EOY. Book it

sunmbitch

why would u buy puts on SPY? WOLF prints printed 200%

WidepeepoHighHey

Anybody else bought SPY puts when it was at ATH? I got December 19th 500 and 480. With 30% on Canada, Mexico and EU we will have another liberation day on August 1st and a potential macro shock in the next months which I hope to capture with my puts

Various SPY calls right at open, 1 HOOD call, and 1 NVDA call this week

volckerwasright

Only a few more months until we get tokenized SPY calls that trade 24/7

Sozzlednoob

How long are you holding these calls. For SPY in particular.

GrumpyMcGillicuddy

Alright so how does this work now - I go into Robinhood and setup a “margin account”, wait for SPY to drop on Monday, then I buy “calls” after the drop right?

decomposition_

Some shitty advice in here — what I do is give my criteria for good stocks to ChatGPT and ask it to find stocks that fulfill it. This is important, do NOT buy it just because ChatGPT mentioned it. Next, go through that list of stocks that fit your criteria and do solid research on their financials, deals, c suite people and put whatever % of this 1000 you feel comfortable with into the good ones. Then take a modest chunk of that remaining $1000 and just put into a regular fund similar to FSKAX or SPY.

Believe it or not, SPY to 650

king_anon1492

Agreed. That’s why I said “limits” downside risk and that it underperforms typical buy and hold. If you do this on a major index like SPY you’re effectively just reducing volatility in your portfolio and generating stable cash flow, something some people might want

Metacog_Drivel

Please, just let us get to SPY 700 before terrorizing the market 😭

Hear me out, if the product you buy goes up by 30% and the company makes 20% margins the company's top and bottom line have just increased. Stable fuckin Genius SPY 700

SPY 650 by EoW. Bullish as shit

_Adora_

Rip. Stocks only go up bro. Tariffs and inflation is good news for the stock market now. Higher unemployment rate = stocks new all time high. J Pow not cutting rates September probably going to hit 700 SPY by then. We probably will get 800 SPY at this rate

MrDodgers

It is partly about the dollar, but also earnings growth was solid. Forecasts are solid. People understand the TACO trade now. AI and tech remain strong and “exceptional”. And jobs remain solid, in spite of OP’s anecdotes and the inevitable/eventual job losses coming from AI. There’s just no reason not to go up. This coming from a guy who had been selling SPY calls and has finally capitulated.

I’m yoloing SPY 0DTE calls with my 3/8 SMA + bullish engulfing sauce, aiming for 20% gains while blasting Trevor Bauer’s screwball tutorials. If I miss, I’ll just hit a dinger in my rec league game to cover the losses. 🚀⚾

Krammsy

Usually It's IV, you can check IV over time on sites like this one [https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/SPY/?lu=true](https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/SPY/?lu=true) As IV declines both puts and calls decline in price relative to the underlying.

SPY -$2.20.. you couldn’t imagine such a dump!!! The end is near!! AHHHHH!

Witty_Lengthiness451

Just buy the $SPY and chill. I've been trading anything and everything possible and $SPY has been kicking my ass for 15 years. I've done stocks, options, futures, commodities and forex. $SPY will do better than 90% of people and you won't have to be anxious and worried every trading day.

McKnuckle_Brewery

This is a dividend growth portfolio comprised of blue chip stocks with a long track record of paying and raising dividends. The fact that you think it should be unloaded, and you compare it to VTI/SPY tripling, shows that you don't really understand why it may be more appropriate for your retired parents. They can only safely utilize a volatile market index for their equity allocation if they also have a solid bond strategy. Their FA has apparently taken them down an equity income path, which is a totally established way to invest, especially for retirees. The cash issue is a bit concerning, sure, and worth questioning. But tread carefully here.

abroadbroadband

My name is Michael Westen I used to purchase SPY 🕶️

Shah_an_shah

Outside SPY and NVDA it’s my most profitable purchase this year. I just randomly threw some money in it this Jan and May.

Prestigious-Ad-7927

Risk management and psychology did it for me. Started with $5k three years ago. Kept it small for two years and I was just hovering between losing a little and barely breaking even. I felt more confident after I had several green months in a row at the end of last year. This year I scaled up. Account is up to $60k now and withdrew $5k to help fund a trip. Original capital is out but I am still very strict on risk management. For psychology, Mark Douglas’ books and videos really removed my blinders. Make sure you really absorb the contents of his materials. I still re-watch, re-listen to his audiobooks and re-read his books from cover to cover to this day. For strategies, I like theta positive trades such as calendars, condors, diagonals, bear and bull call spreads (not in order of preference). I rarely do straight calls and puts maybe because I started with a small account and spreads helped keep the trades costs to a minimum. For directional trades, I like to use broken wings butterflies (ranging from 10 points wings up to 50 point wings) and LEAPS and selling shorter dated calls against it. For time frames, I like to hold for weeks to months. on my directional trades. For delta neutral trades, 1-2 weeks with strict risk management. I trade IBIT, MSTR, SPY, GLD, QQQ but the main two things that made me the most profit are IBIT and MSTR. The others are also profits but not as much as the two. I sometimes do earnings but risk very little compared to profit potential. An example was NKE earnings trade that consisted of directional (bullish) broken wing butterflies and calendar spread that made 10X. Keep at it. You will have a lot of doubters. Sometimes I felt like I was the only one who believed in myself. My biggest advice is to concentrate on what you can lose, not what you can make. This is what will keep you in the game to figure things out. Also focus on the process of good trading and not the outcome. This is easier said than done because we are wired to avoid losses. Taking small losses of it goes against your trading plan is the key. This will also help protect your mental capital.

could have made ab 1.3k this week (also doing 0dte SPY) but I did nor trade like a coward and went -280. i am going to be trading like a coward starting monday.

Thank you for the advice man. This is definitely a short term thing. I do already also have a JPMORGAN investors account that I do put 50% of my check into SPY, QQQ and some more tried true tech stocks like nvidia, intel, etc etc

Top-Cardiologist1011

Meanwhile I YOLO’d into SPY puts and lost half my rent money. Good job king.

Trialbyfuego

I'm a new trader and my perspective has been skewed by all the volatility. I think it's just very easy to see NVDA going up another 8% in the next 6 months. I won't make that trade because I'm not certain about much right now except that there's low volume and SPY has been going up since April 9th.  I would've liked this trade a lot more 6 to 8 weeks ago when I finally realized SPY wasn't going to 480 again any time soon and that the tariffs were not going to cause the issues to NVDA that everyone was worried about. Now that SPY is at ATH it's harder to be certain about anything going forward but if any stock is going to keep going up I would think it would be NVDA.  I've already seen stocks like TSLA skyrocket for years so if a solid company like NVDA kept irrationally going up then I wouldn't be surprised. 

Grand-Departure3485

In tracking graphs of SPY . I also really like doing butterfly spreads, I suggest reading into them if you don’t already know. Great way to mitigate losses and get a lot of contracts . But make sure the sales can still get filled. I like to break my sales up into a lot of smaller sales so when the spikes occur . It can fill some instead of trying to fill 1 big order. Like if I have 10 contracts that I bought at .10 and the spikes are happening at like .80 . I will have like 2 for sale at .80 , 2 for .75 , 2 for .70 then maybe some duplicates like another 2 for .75 and another 2 for .70 , if my profits are good then I sometimes may like to keep a contract or 2 till expiration and hope it expires at my goal or sell like right before expiration

OurNewestMember

? I didn't imply anything about the strike relative to spot, so I'm not understanding the argument here. If I had 100 shares SPY and sold them at a strike of $1 or $0.01 or even $0, I would agree I'm "giving away shares for free".... Only when you ignore the $60k cash I received upfront...

Adani got banned by US. Jane Street got banned by India. Now both countries have leverage in trade talks. Now if they can announce a trade deal and pump SPY, it would be nice. PS: Jane Street wasn’t the only firm doing it. SEBI had knowledge about these activities for a long time.
