SPY

xiongchiamiov

My point about school is that it typically costs dozens of thousands of dollars a year; if you need to spend this $300 soon, you should just keep it in a savings account. If all your tuition and living expenses are taken care of, and this money can be held onto until retirement, then I would be putting it into probably a Roth IRA and investing it in something broad and basic. I like index target date funds, but if you're on SPY sure, that's fine too. Nvidia to my mind is set to underperform the rest of the market, given that it's already at the top. But we don't know.

My calls would love to think so but SPY bounced off the same upper price 7 times closer to close and then did it at a lower price in AH so I'm now thinking I should have taken my guy reaction after seeing that and I should have sold my calls.

We’ll probably climb up to low-mid 680’s next week, then spend the next 3 weeks piddling around while you retards argue that there’s any reason for some sudden 20% directional move. Then we’ll drift up up 690’s, repeat. And then SPY 700 mid to late December. 

Erecto__patronum

SPY is gonna beat QQQ to 700, but QQQ will get to 800 first

Professional_Wait977

Hope these puts print hard af on Monday $SPY 673P

PassionCompassion

Dude. For fucks' sake. Why is it so fucking hard to read and study the stock market, especially with all the resources we have? Why couldn't you fucking take an hour a day to read and learn about hedge funds, institutions, pump and dump, rug pulls, etc.? Why are you so fucking greedy to chase the rich life without even putting in any effort at all? Why are you so fucking desperate to become filthy rich??? You had $10k that could have been put into fractional shares of SPY. You could have just continued working and investing and investing. And then in 5 years, that $10k plus other investments you put would have turned into a huge profit. Or you could have started a small business with the $10k. But you fucking want that rich life so quick. But ask yourself, why? Why are you rushing to reach it? To brag about it to your friends, family, relatives, and co-workers?

trentcoolyak

It’s kind of nuts. I started buying like crazy when I saw GOOG tanked even harder than SPY due to tariffs when they have almost zero exposure to tariffs. Mindblowingly disconnected from reality

FreshBeans22

SPY700 next week 🥴😬😬 j💥 stonks gooo up right!!

Krammsy

Not sure if you know this, but SPY is more liquid, unless you prefer to let SPX expire (cash settlement)

trentcoolyak

If GOOG is worth 215, SPY is worth 350 😂

CycleApprehensive539

November SPY 600?

beachsandwichen

So when interest rates go way down and SPY is at 800 what’s buffet gonna do then

25vol96

BYND bagholders and bears BTFO today. Imagine holding a fucking fake meat stock bag today instead of gigachad 0dte $SPY calls.

lurker165473

Threw away 5k today on INTC TSLA AMD and SPY 0dte OTM puts hoping for some volatility and instead the MMs decided to pin SPY to 678 for hours

Risko4

Stop cherry picking https://www.reddit.com/r/EconomyCharts/s/E0L48m5JHR SPY has a dividend yield of 1.07% as well You're on a high horse because china and it's allies are massive buying gold to counteract the petrodollar. There's risk in this investment, you're just at all time (due to political influences) highs so you're boasting. There's nothing preventing you from getting a pullback either, especially if china takes profit from this success endeavour. Not saying it will or won't, but you're clearly arrogant with your view where you refuse to appreciate both sides of the story just to fit your narrative against index bros.

One_Presence7667

What’s the favorite 3x bull S&P etf here? I’ve used TQQQ for Nasdaq and UDOW. Or are you all doing 0dte options instead. If so, on what, SPY?

L4teStageCapitalism

Thanks everyone! Downloaded TastyTrades and we’re gonna do some studying. First move is a 0DTE SPY call on Monday, yeah? 😂 /s

slambooy

Ooooofff… just put it in SPY.. you’d be up 1% today and not down 30%

chamberx2

I just sweep up the debris and buy SPY partials. …I have so many partials…

StreetzSmart

At this point imo i would sell and buy puts on $SPY. Better chance breaking even or losing everything. Not an advice just option. You got sucked into bs hype.

financiallythriving

Trade talk goes “well” + priced in rate cut + Google + meta + Apple earning smash + euphoria enough to send SPY to 700 next week? Looking for that blow off top to play

Dependent-Goose8240

Well, I do want to at least give you some ideas to consider, given you probably don't feel very good right now. For starters you should try your best to take your mind off the stock market for now, go have some good dinner, spend time with those close to you. I would most likely sell monday at open if I was you, because I would just want to get it all over with. Maybe you get lucky and it recovers slightly in the premarket. Maybe you get unlucky and it tanks another 10% - who cares at this point? You just need to STICK to a plan. I would then proceed to put it all into a safer investment, maybe either gold or SPY - both are good ideas because this is money not meant for trading, just locked away in a safe long-term investment. You need to, psychologically, get as far away as possible from the gambling mentality. You need to build discipline, and COMMIT to it for the next year or two. An example: set a schedule to transfer money from your bank into your brokerage once a month, and then buy into the safe assets with 80+% of that month's transfer. Use the other 20% for other riskier investments, stick to shares only. Rinse and repeat for a minimum of 12 months and by then you would likely have recovered a significant amount of your losses.

WhoCaresWhatITink

I held my SPY puts through this bullshit. At least they dont expire till next month.

Political_gossiper

Does anyone foresee SPY cratering to 650 next week? the volume has been shit

IIINevermoreIII

I’m not even bearish or bullish with SPY anymore because I have no idea what the fuck is gonna happen short or long term. dip back down to 655 and trade sideways for another month? Totally possible. Climb up to 700 by next week? Sure why not. A Trump tweet causing mayhem, 100%. Like what the fuck.  

D1finalboss

Theta cucks bit my ass cheeks eod. But holding a cup of SPY puts for Monday. Hopefully this grind is over and the end is nigh.

Comfortable-Pay-4801

Not a 100-bagger, but felt shitty holding SPY puts overnight and “sold” them as soon as I woke up (half asleep). An hour later, got a margin call notification and ignored it. Checked my account another hour later and turns out I’d accidentally doubled down on margin instead of selling, and was up 300%. Cashed out immediately. TDLR: Accidentally inverted myself for 300% in 2 hours

FuckOutTheWhey

Let's look at the math. Assumptions: (based on what OP shared in various comments) * Shares owned: about 20,000 * Cost Basis: $6.50 * Total money invested: $130,000 BYND is currently trading at $2.10, which means OP would be down $88k right now if they held. OP's cost basis is $6.5 which means they'd have to sell covered calls at a $6.5 strike in order to not close at a loss. This strike price is now WAY out of the money. Looking at the options chain, a one week to expiration covered call is only worth $12 ($2400 total if OP sold CCs on every share) right now. It would theoretically take OP 36 weeks to make back the $88k by collecting CC premiums. Here's the problem, though. It's highly unlikely for BYND to stay at $2.10 forever. Once the internet has lost interest in BYND a couple weeks from now, IV drops and the share price returns to around $0.50, the $6.5 strike call options would be basically worthless. OP would be lucky getting $1 per contract. At that rate, OP would be down $120k in their investment while earning only $200 a week in premiums. It would take 11.5 years to climb out of that hole with the CC premiums. With that much time required, they may as well cut losses now and take the $60k left and use it to invest in a real company. Hell, even going with a more conservative approach like going all in on SPY would bring the $60k back to $180k in 11 years. There's also the added benefit of not being reminded of the horrible investment every time they log in to sell more covered calls.

Galaxy_AI

Guys. Today, I took some profits ($4.5K) on my calls. Bought $5K worth of puts for Monday (QQQ and SPY). Did I do the right thing?

brbcryinginside

Go though my history and you will find this regard guessing the closing price of SPY correctly, had puts, and still lost money because I forgot about risk assignment 🫡 I belong here (-1k on a +20k potential trade).

RubiksPoint

They are marked to market at the end of the tax year. IOW, you will pay taxes on unrealized gains on SPX options as of Dec 31 even if you don't sell the options. If you're looking to hold longer-term options, then SPY is likely better.

Hi Everyone, New to Reddit. 31M, started investing in 2020. I hold Big Tech + SPY + Bitcoin + ETH. Been doing a lot of waiting and watching recently. Been honing in on Tesla but as a pure energy play not a car company or robotics company. While I think EVs and Robotaxi are cool. Megapack demand > supply and VPP is jusr beginning in CA and TX. Distributed battery networks seem like the perfection evolution for the grid (unless my novice brain is misunderstanding the application). Megapack, VPP, and Autobidder seem like a sleeping dragon. For some reason the narrative on tv and on Twitter seem to only focus on the car business, robo taxi potential. With power being a huge concern as the bottleneck of the ai infrastructure buildout, why isn’t the narrative about Teslas energy potential? I have to wonder is the answer right under our nose, but we are blinded by “car company” and “robotics” narrative? Just starting to do my deep dive on this. Open any comments, debate, resources to learn more.

Dirty2020

Why not, that's literally wall streets key to success. You wanna be really mind blown? This is all-time SPY on the monthly. If we hit 682-683 any time next week, we run right into the top of the all-time trend channel. https://preview.redd.it/f0uu23v7e4xf1.png?width=1193&format=png&auto=webp&s=20fc8cbac3eeddcb17d33218417f50fa7de5db39

traderbusto

bought 5k shares of BYND at 6.40? Fk you pay me. Loaded up on SPY puts Monday and held them til today? Fk you pay me. Stayed out of quantum because it’s been “at least ten years away” since 1978? Fk you pay me.

kazkeb

As someone with a bearish position right now, all I have to say is... ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH SPY ARE HEREBY TERMINATED

Wiscoguy1982

I bought SPY 285 calls for end of next week and 700s for the following Friday. Also bought 500 shares of UVXY to try and cover my ass (@ avg of

Otterpoopie

#my bol king u/bearhunter429 will arrive with SPY at ATH. #Just as I predicted LMAO 🤌

DesignerSea494

Good week. Sold GLD on Monday, profited from a solar stock earnings, made a 30-min quick-strike 10k gain on the stupid meme hype, then Wednesday went leveraged SPY and a big bite of HOOD and ENVX. Now I’m locked and loaded for early November earnings and probably a rate cut. Drinks on me this weekend.

25vol96

Had SPY call options hit on 675, 676, 677 and 678. Came away up about 30% so I’m feeling pretty good. Still pissed about them damn 679s I bought. Can someone who‘s not regarded like me explain what kept it around 678.20 for basically the entire day? Seemed like no matter if it went up or down it stayed there until close.

buttericecream

Imagine having simply bought SPY calls a month out and living a stress-free life.

notme_1234567890

For SPY to move like that after I sell……..I’m screaming

bub356

$SPY crosses 30 RSI after falling $1 wtf okay back up I guess

maxi-mil

Listen to both of the people above. Don't play with life savings, only money you are willing to part with. I have about 300K in my account, yet at most I only ever play with 20K, a lot of the times it is with 5K or under. Winning big also means losing big. SPY or VOO are safe to invest in (and a handful of others), the rest are all risks. Play wisely.

d33p7r0ubl3

Sooner or later SPY will retest 673 and I'll be there with my puts

25vol96

SPY gained sentience and learned of my late calls and decided to drill put of spite.

Nobody believes you SPY stop being a drama queen

If SPY just insta plunged down to 671, how borked would your ports be?

prankd1776

SPY edging us

PalpitationSmooth992

see how they drop SPY before it can get above 678.5 but not below 678 its because that would raise the price on 679c but also drop 678p more

enc-nyc

Government shutdown?... SPY: 680

TrumpLovesTHICCBBC

My wiener is insanely tiny SPY 600 EOY

SPY 680 today and I’ll stick a Boeing 747 up my ass

Dirty2020

Maybe, but I have a couple of SPY puts that are still 4% up despite us being at the high of the day. That shouldn't be the case.

PalpitationSmooth992

SPY will not go below 678 or above 678.5 for the rest of the day been held to perfectly decay theta the entire day i dont care if you made money on options that only applies if you bought at open options market is the most manipulated thing on earth

680 for SPY looks pretty dead. I’m sad. Those calls were so fkin cheap this morning I couldn’t resist. I’m still up big today but I guess I’m a greedy mfker at heart.

You're in the wrong place, you'd be better off just DCAing into SPY if you want small consistent gains

Call SPY for 679 or 680?

i think it'd be pretty cool if SPY just crept up the rest if the day like yesterday. I think that's too much to ask for though

TheThetaFarmer

You’re right that Greeks are instantaneous sensitivities, they evolve with every tick. But that’s exactly why model choice matters: each model defines a different local geometry of those sensitivities as volatility evolves. For short maturities (0–1 DTE), stochastic volatility actually becomes less relevant because uncertainty about future vol collapses; realized variance converges to a single path. In that regime, Heston and Black-Scholes effectively merge. The real differences emerge for medium and longer maturities (30–90 DTE, the stochastic vol sweet spot), where the volatility path uncertainty dominates option curvature and skew. I edited my post with SPY ATM Calls for this Monday.

Without making stock suggestions, you understand that VOO and SPY are essentially identical investments, yes?

SPY 679 is about to happen. 680 still on the table. fuck your puts.

FrostingOk2692

Just got off the phone with the CEO of SPY. Said they can't do it because they are leaving early for a fishing trip this weekend. Sorry.

duchumpian

Howdy! I'm looking to begin investing more regularly. I've got $900 wrapped up in VOO, SPY, AMD, and VTI. As someone who's still very new to this - what would be some smart suggestions for both long and short term plays? Really wanting to bank it for the future. Also, what are some good outlets to follow financial news and updates? Really appreciate the help.
