One of the most common trend reversals is forming on $SPY. Same trend noticed on $DIA & $QQQ. We could see a break of the trend for $SPY
DIA trading within CPI Range from June! This puts the market in a position that could see a potential breakout in either direction. Can we possibly see economic data that propels the Dow higher out of the top of the range or will the trend of negative data to end the year lead us downward.
DIA; We are in a bear market rally. This is a 20-year monthly chart. Look at the RSI.

DIA finally did something. Happy to see that
DIA is actually green, but none of you know that because who the fuck trades that boomer shit lmao
DIA SPY QQQ all up +1% and my port just went red. Honestly don't think that's ever happened to me before.
Do you have the math to back up that .8 correlation? I honestly don't know the exact number, but intuitively I think it's much lower. The best free calculator I could find when I did some research a while back was only allowing me to do 4 underlyings. I concur that the 4 major ETFs (QQQ, SPY, IWM, DIA) are about a .8 correlation, but that's why I add in the inversely or uncorrelated names like IBIT, GLD, USO, IYR, TLT, and VIX. If you include the VIX, then 6 of the 13 are not even stock based. I trade three commodities (Bitcoin, Gold, Oil), which do have single asset risks, but they provide diversification from your stock ETFs. These commodities are largely uncorrelated from each other and from stocks. Also, I trade three additional alternative asset classes (Bonds, Real Estate and Volatility) TLT, IYR and VIX. TLT and VIX provide negative correlation diversification, and IYR (Real Estate ETF) provides protection as well.
Sorry guys, I bought DIA the other day.
Thank you very much for your insightful comment. This method only works for indices, and I get the same accuracy for SPY (VOO) and DIA. For EMD and RTY, the accuracy is around 60%. It also works perfectly for GLD ETF. For individual sticks, the results are not great.
DIA better jump like $20 next week with all its earnings
Man that 480 DIA put on my watchlist printed. Imaginary me is super fucking rich.
Truth. Is even $DIA safe?
Either way vote goes, DIA will not hold after headline / 2k points in 3-4 days is definition of ridiculous. Take the OTM 484 puts here for Friday, do 1/2 And if, after bull govy news, AVP them after the pop as will be a drop into the weekend. Doesn’t pass - will drop 700 points. Worse case scenario you just wait for ANY bad news into Friday And you should be golden. Offset with 1:10 2dte qqq calls.
DIA btw is the Dow equivalent to SPY
DIA up 1% while QQQ is down and you 'tards are still buying tech stocks? Consumer defensive up more than tech. The AI bubble is popping...
The Dow was up 1%. Ber doesn't just buy puts. Ber buys safer assets like DIA rather than QQQ.
Lame ass DIA popped off today

Hmm. Reduced demand for jet fuel will drive oil prices even lower, which in turn reduces ground transportation costs and increases profit margins for wholesale and industrial companies? Calls on DIA. I'm just spitballin' here.
He's underperforming the 10 year S&P, NQ and DIA... Like his returns are worse than just buying gold
DIA is 11% YTD, thus, nearly flat, SPY is up 16% YTD but could potentially be an AI bubble ready to burst. One hawkish fed moment and I bet it pancakes.
NVDA propping up SPY QQQ DIA. Good luck bears
I’m an older investor and hold quite a bit in the DOW. The idea was 30 companies representing different aspects of the economy. It’s weighted by stock price and they used to keep them in a pretty narrow range. The range is wider now so some of the tech companies have a bigger share. But I still think the weighting of these leading companies is very different than the S&P 500. Comparable of not equal. But if one of the markets takes off as a percentage, it moves the needle as if a big tech company takes off be the same percentage (stock market wise). The ETF is DIA. Not sure why yet but the DOW looks to be up pretty big at the pre-open. Guess I’m old school but I like the DOW in my portfolio.
Changing sector weights to underweight sectors you think are more volatile probably won't be as helpful as you think. XLK (S&P 500 Technology) and XLC (S&P 500 Communications) have better 3 year alpha and Sharpe ratio than all the other S&P 500 sectors even though tech and communications are supposed to be riskier. XLP (S&P 500 Consumer Staples/Defensive) has worse returns and risk adjusted returns than IUSB (total USD bond market) over the past 3 years. Healthcare is another sector that's supposed to be safer, but the performance has been abysmal this year because of UnitedHealth. You thought DIA would be safer because it's supposed to be more spread across sectors, but UnitedHealth has noticeably dragged it down. DIA's limited holdings make it somewhat riskier than other index funds since it depends more on individual stocks. the DJIA is also weighted by price, which is a pretty nonsensical way to weight an index in the first place. If BRK-A was in DIA, it would be 99% of the portfolio. Ultimately, choosing to overweight a "safer" sector doesn't necessarily mean the value of your investment is safer, especially when adjusted for inflation. This also applies to asset classes, but at least a rate cutting cycle is beneficial for bond prices. Even foreign bonds are somewhat affected by rates in the US because foreign bonds are compared with US bonds. I used 3 year measurements because that's what my brokerage's app shows. Over the past 5 years, XLP has clearly outperformed IUSB.
My portfolio is SPY/QQQ/DIA and I promise I make more money than you sweetheart :)
The DIA ETF was started in 1998. So you've been able to buy a $INDU index proxy for over a quarter-century.
Because this has been such an aggressive campain, I've been trying to properly understand the motives this major push... Am I wrong or is there no precedent for huge, long-running UITs converting to ETFs ? If the old structure is so bad, why hasn't another UIT like SPY or DIA ever converted? I understand that many mutual funds have converted to ETFs, I'd just love to know what's risks there may be with UIT->ETF. For instance — and this is a genuine open-ended (har har) question — how could the shift from a bank trustee to an Invesco board adversely affect the shareholder? What would new fee levers look like? The fund has performed amazingly with its current structure.
Change ticker to SPY & QQQ & IWM & DIA & VTI And its almost bullet proof cause it’s a index etf that unless USA dies it most likely will make new highs except the low income when market crash or prolonged bear market (2008/2022/2000) is pretty solid Preferable u have extra cash to average down on market bottom giving u better strike price and income earnings when market crashes Is ur really wanna be safe try wheeling VT lol 😂
I tried to backtest similar strategies (based on RSI, 200 SMA, Shotastic and so on) on many assets and nearly all the time it was worse than buy and hold. It happens because you stay uninvested for too long. However, also I tried another approach: took DJIA as an example - including historical compositions and stocks splits as it is price weighted and performed a backtest when one by one stocks are added to a portfolio based on similar signals and this way slowly the index is assembled. Basically based on RSI (as an example) signal you pick the next stock to be used in index assembling. And it worked better than applying the same strategy to the index itself (DIA etf as an example). Likely because you just reduce the time when you are uninvested. But still it is a lot of work and the result is only slightly better.
You can buy puts by using DIA.
Concur -- no reason that you must be 100% in one ETF. I use VOO, VTI, QQQM, DIA, MOAT, and others. Pick ones that work for you.
DIA puts. Short the boomer stocks lol
Peg performance to QQQ. And QQQ is the worst performing ETF today when compared with SPY, IWM and DIA. lmao
bro how you could bought shares of SPY, IWM, or DIA and made money
Stop falling for CNN's FGI lmao, that's how they keep fooling non-traders to keep betting the house on puts thinking they'll strike big.

Good shit on graduating college and saving all that money props to you. My advice is don’t do call or puts that’s basically gambling. Just be smart. Just invest in etf like DIA Spy Voo take divis when they give you and enjoy that 10-20% gain every year. Best of luck
Is DIA taxed as friendly as SPX and NDX?
SPY down 3 days in a row QQQ down 3 days in a row IWM down 3 days in a row DIA down 3 days in a row
really? here's what scares me away as a guy in DIA \-DIA = highly commoditized can be put anywhere "land" - data centers can be put pretty much anywhere so long as theres power and connectivity. IF NOVA is tapped they could just move to other parts of VA or MD or w/e Power - why not just invest in Dominion or Constellation energy What makes you think this business has a unique selling proposition or competitive advantage in the market?

What made you trade DIA?
Sometimes, it pays to chase DIA rather than SPY. 🚬
It’s hard to get on board with the permabear narrative for me. Not only are you shorting the most powerful economy in the history of the world in a falling rate environment with tax cuts coming, but investor behavior has changed. When the market crashed after the tariffs were announced, retail traders like me piled in and bought the dip. Millions of dollars flood the market every week from 401K contributions and automatic reinvestments. Traders in 2025 don’t back down and put cash under their mattresses at the first sign of trouble. They’re fearless and not as dumb as they were 10-20 years ago. DIA, SPY, and QQQ are all up 5-15% this year. Why not just sell covered calls on major indexes and sleep well at night?
Hi Sam, thanks for chiming in with some great insights! Yes indeed, markets rise, but that means stocks rise too, because they make up markets, right? So yeah, one could pick any old ETF right now and it'll probably go up "over time." But I think "how much time" becomes the question. Okay, so look at charts and find an ETF that looks flat for the last month or three. Then in x years it should be higher. Or find a chart that's actually going up, and then you the "momentum factor" PLUS the general uptrend of stocks. I see it as just giving yourself all the benefits you can. This just came to me, but kind of like selling a CSP: it's always touted that stocks only do 3 things, and in 2 of those cases the CSP wins. Yes, "most years as a whole the market is up." (Except 2022, and some other examples.) And Yuen touches on that, actually going to the extent of saying that there really haven't been any TWO year bear markets in recent history. So he buys LEAPS 2 years out just for that reason. Because what are the odds of 2 bad years back-to-back? Good point about SPY/DIA probably being safer, but I'm actually long VOO in one of my accounts because it screened in when I did this for myself last weekend. So I'm not averse to an index fund, as long as it meets my criteria for being one of my Top 5 picks. So I think that's the only 'advantage,' just trying to maximize return in a sort of safe-ish way. (Btw, I wouldn't do this on crypto ETFs or marijuana or things like that; but then, the charts actually rule those out.) Yes indeed, more leverage by using ATM or OTM Calls. OTM are what the kids on here like to trade, looking for those lottery-style wins. But that's not what I'm after: I just want 'enough' return that's fairly safe/conservative/repeatable/pick your adjective. 80-delta is a proven(?) or at least accepted sweet spot. By all rights, I should be going even higher, and I'd still get plenty of return. Yuen's method is that BE of purchased Calls be no more than 5% of spot. In my XME example above, that would have me buying the 62C vs. the 70C (numbers are wonky AH, so I can't quote Deltas, but it's in the 90's). But guess what? That would still give leverage of at least 3x. So let XME do 11% again next month, and you're still looking at 33%. Insane leverage these things provide, so no, I don't recommend AT ALL going closer to the money. And you probably know, but for those reading along, you can get more leverage buy using a shorter duration. 100-120 days is sometimes recommended. An 80-ish delta XME Callat 104DTE gives almost 6x leverage. Loss control. Firstly, I've never been one to hold something hoping it comes back. But you're absolutely correct: with any long Call option, you're on a deadline. For stocks and ETFs, I've pretty much always used a 10% Trailing Stop. Invstor's Business Daily, which I've been reading for decades, recommends an 8% stop-loss *from your purchase price*. Mostly to protect you from a bad entry. But then they don't really give a stop-loss recommendation for when the darn thing starts going up. So my 10% kind of morphed from that. And of course, if the thing has gone up some, and is kind of choppy, then I may relax that to 20%.
I like leaps and use them. Another way of looking at this is to note that the market as a whole has always risen over time. If you put your 401k into an index fund you’ll end up with more money in 20 years. So you don’t have to rely on momentum. And, importantly for using leaps, in most years the market as a whole has a positive return. Because of the market’s long track record, it seems safest to buy leaps on SPY or DIA. (I have some on GLD, but that isn’t as safe.) Is there an advantage to using narrower etfs? Another thought: You can take more risk to get more leverage by buying atm calls, or even otm calls. It’s a sliding scale. And a question: what do you do if the underlying etf falls? Use a rule such as sell when down by 50%? Or stick with it? When you own the underlying instead of a leap it’s easy to stick with a losing etf in the hope it will come back. But it’s much riskier to do that with a leap.
I sold my Calls for SPY and DIA yesterday thinking the market needed a reset after a 3 day bull run… after the dip today, and what I think was confirmation of an upswing, I got back in but with limited risk.
Learned lesson from last week. I Made $1,060 profit this week on SPY and DIA and GOT OUT. Goal achieved for week and will wait for right opportunity to jump back in for next week - Let’s see what the jobs report and Friday afternoon market sunset looks like right before close.
Assuming there is no bad news tomorrow, I have SPY and DIA Calls right where I want them
I guess they might. But things still came tumbling down in 2000. But since the tech bubble burst, [index funds have dominated much more](https://global.morningstar.com/en-gb/funds/index-funds-have-officially-won), going from 10% of funds to 50% by 2022. I see it as a trade-off between risk and safety. If you look at the average growth of value funds vs SP500 over the past 5 or 10 years, they're a little lower but not much. That modest difference might be insurance against the Big One. It took much longer (14 years) for QQQ to recover post-2000 bubble than SPY, and DIA (Dow Jones fund) didn't even really fall after 2000. It's like different stock markets. If you had been in QQQ in 1999, you would be losing nominal dollars until 2015, and forget about real dollars and lost growth.
99% chance they were gona announce something else and chickened out which is why they stalled for 45min staring at SPX/NDX/DIA slide down.
!banbet DIA 386.90 30d
GLD weekly is a once a year setup, looks teed up and ready to go. The risk of not being positioned is worse then the risk of losing money. Surprisingly QQQ is relatively close to the mean compared to IWM, DIA, and SPX. I don't remember the last time that happened
Getting obliterated by theta. Since the day you bought spy is down 0.03% and you’ve lost 36.22%. That’s theta decay in action. I don’t recommend holding market wide options (SPY, QQQ, DIA) for longer than a few days especially in the middle of August/september, while at all time highs with bad economic data coming out.
Sell everything and put all your money into Indexes like $SPY, $QQQM, and/or $DIA
DIA is literally $1 from ATM...this feels like it has to give if Powell says Good Morning.
I’ve been seeing heavy put flows in the millions come in the past 3 days. Total cost in the millions where it’s most likely institutional. $IWM $SPY $DIA
FYI don't forget your depreciation recapture. They're going to want it back. I'd dump it all in VOO or SPY. I haven't bought a company in decades. The only point of doing so is the Fool strategy of trying to ferret out 10 baggers. You probably won't get a 10 bagger bluechip so why take the extra risk? If you want those then buy some DIA. People crap on the Dow but SP500 has had some really long bear cycles, two back to back, 01 and 08. If you have any particular affinity or distaste for particular sectors in the S&P the same company that offers SPY offers a dozen mini-SPYs broken out by sector.
Congrats on whoever playing DIA today. 👏
UNH Pullback with shit HD, TGT, LOW earnings. WMT will be ok. Broad play are Puts on the $DIA. Aggressive puts on TGT. They are going to close stores.
DIA vs QQQ is hilarious. buncha fucking boomers y’all suddenly turned into
Semis tanked AH which took it down, check DIA.
I like to auto reinvest dividends, so I’d like to use fractional shares. It’s a preference thing not a huge deal but actually after being on hold of Fidelity for over an hour they confirmed that I can just sign a DIA. Original rep said they weren’t available for LLC accounts.
index options are cash settled and therefore can be held until 4 (XSP, NDX, SPX, DIA, RUT)
Take DIA with it. I’ve got some moonshot DIA calls expiring in November
Nobody talks this. But Google should replace Cisco or ibm in DIA index
The Dow seems to fall more easily than qqq or spy. DIA follows the Dow and at least has weekly options.

Yes they only go up. Except in April 2025, all of 2022, the first half of 2021, 2018 and 2008…lol. Guess what? Stocks are now more expensive and the risks are greater than they were at the beginning of any of those other periods I mentioned. I am trimming my stock holdings during any of these rallies. I recently sold 22 shares of DIA and I bought 2 short term puts on SPY. When the market falls 15% I will close my bearish positions and begin new investments.
Hi, I'm a small-time invester in the US (\~$2700 invested, investing \~$50-80 per paycheck). I (32yo) already have a 401k I'm contributing to pretaxes. No major debt, just keeping credit cards to a minimum. I currently have shares in 14 different ETFs, with my portfolio resembling a growth allocation (49% domestic, 20% foreign, 29% bonds, 2% short term). My 3 largest holdings are VTI, DIA and QQQM. I'm hoping to hold onto all the positions I own for at least 5-10 years for the down payment on a new car or house. I don't mind some risk as long as it's ETF/Mutual Fund related, and as long as I can balance it with putting an equal $ in another safer etf/mutual fund. My question is: since I'm investing <1 stock/paycheck, should I reduce the total number of ETFs I hold with more $ in each? Or should I keep what I've got and spread what $ I can invest into what I already have?
Set aside money you want to save (aka don't plan on selling for 10+ years) and then DCA (Dollar Cost Average) into several different indexes such as SPY, DIA, VIGI, SCHD, VTI. Let it compound. Don't touch it, don't think about it, just let it be. Even if that means buying .1$ each day over the course of a year. The market will do wonders over the course of a long time and you won't be reliant on a single stock. Participate in growth If in the future when you're actually making an income you want to be a bit more risky (smart when you're younger, less so when you're 35+) and put money into a few stocks with large upside potential id say go for it. The biggest lessons to learn at this age are the power of compounding and that you cant time the market.
Welp, lost my few AMZN calls entirely and my AAPL puts got some back...but the 1DTE puts I picked up on DIA are up 1400%, so still coming out a bit ahead.
Tomorrow is D-day, hopefully everyone has some strategic puts in case the Taco flops around and makes a mess. I'm already up 300% on DIA puts.
Welp, I'm riding with the following I picked up this morning DIA P 8/1 $440 AMZN C 8/1 $235 AAPL P 8/8 $200 So far all are up decently. Witness me!
Just noticed IWM and DIA didn't get back up after the dunk today. 👀
Every strategy works.. til it doesn't. People have a good strategy, makes money, then keep using it as the market shifts and profits dwindle. Timing is hard. As a 60 year old who's been in the market for decades I have 3 portfolios that follow different strategies. A dumb/lazy index portfolio w/ QQQs, SPY, DIA and a few sectors. Every quarter or half year I'll move some of the losers into the winners. Thus over the years more has moved into the Qs or where the magnificent 7 lie. Another portfolio is dividends. Doesn't do great, but the dividends pay there keep, and a decade or two there are some spectuacular winners. Ones that have up 300 to 500% and w/ steady dividend are paying over 14% on original investment. Plus as I've gotten older I've stopped reinvesting and letting the dividends flow into my checking/living bucket. Another portfolio is more active in stocks and ETFs. Profitable areas that have a good story. I'll slowly sell the worst performers and invest in those doing better. Not too active but active enough.
Not SPY or QQQ but def think IWM is way more sensitive to consumer spending and DIA to a lesser extent.
Wonder if we’ll crash when Dow hits new ATH still few dollars off of 451 on DIA
Shoulda got some DIA calls. Damn
SPY, QQQ, and DIA are going to have figure out how tl get rid of IWM's corpse once the hangovers wear off tomorrow.
Diversified dividend paying indexes like SPY, DIA, and QQQ for the big 3 indexes. I like YMAG which is a weekly dividend paying etf. RSP is one of my favorites too because it’s the equal weighted S&P whereas the normal S&P is like 25% based on 10 different companies and the other 75% is the other 490 companies. But yea weekly/monthly investments and dollar cost averaging does the trick for all you want.
My DIA 525c are gonna pay!
$DIA is looking juicy to short right now. Very easy play.
I bought my DIA call this morning at open 😌💰💰
I have done several long term studies from each fund inceptions. Swppx, a lower ratio etf has more volatility. It looks like the magnificant 7 stock which drives 85% momentum is somewhat alive now. Early this year it was losing. In every down cycle Brk.b loses less than S&P. If you like more volatile funds then S&P derivatives are for you. I have lost sizable funds park money in S&P like lost -40% during a recession era so my strategy is into less volatile funds. Even DIA is not a bad fund and it used to be the most popular funds prior.
I have a 2DTE DIA call sitting overnight only bc futures & conditions looked pleasant for tomorrow & it was trending like it still wanted to grow overnight. It's DITM so I'm optimistic I can sell it at open.
12/19 DIA 575 strike…. Free
SOXL looks good! Looks like it spends most of it's time in obvious rally mode with plenty of large price swings during the day 🤔 I think I'll try to trade that almost daily along with SPY QQQ & DIA
