IWM

GrassOrAss954

This artificial lid on IWM all fucking day is sending me…..what a crock of shit.

GrassOrAss954

I thought you were different, IWM. I really did.

Fineous40

Seems like the IWM play is to just play the opposite after a big day up or down.

looool_k_libtard

Not entirely sure why IWM and growth stocks just got obliterated

chibi78

What a glorious day . IWM is red as fuck . I dont even have puts but its just something about seeing it red that makes my day

mayorolivia

Tom fat cuck Lee is the fuckin worst. A permabull that qualifies every single sentence with “but we could see volatility.” Comes back on the following week to explain the volatility and then makes another wrong call. Last year his big call was IWM would pump due to lower rates. This year it’s ETH and BTC will 2-3X by year end. The guy is a useless scammer. He’s making $50M+ from BMNR thanks to his marketing of it.

tribbans95

IWM options are the same if not cheaper than QQQ

getbentspez

Sometimes IWM

Junior-Appointment93

Have not traded IWM. To pricy for me. XSP, SPY and QQQ. I pick one of those Mondsys and Wed. Friday up in the air. I may credit spreads on something trending. Only if the premiums are there. Right now I’m have luck with credit spreads and debit butterfly’s. With a limit order. This market is hard to judge with no clear trend line. Plus low volume does not help at all.

Jadedtrader33

Always IWM

Happy_Discussion_536

Never IWM.

FreshMix4305

Goog shares or IWM shares for the next 3mos

PatientAd9394

This bull run on IWM is nuts. Wtf.

Galaxy_AI

My IWM 0DTE is goneeeeeeeee...lost $11.5K today!

skin_flute_player

IWM out performing SPY today was not on my bingo card.

jayxmor

IWM is absolutely ripping today wtf lmao

Impressive-Mud-3362

Someone here told me not to fuck with small caps after a rate cut and I didn't listen and still went short. I have been right again and again, both on SPY and QQ, but not IWM

GrassOrAss954

So, IWM is the place to be yeah? So much room to run

Roxorek

ready for IWM +10% rally in January

sh1tler

# IWM outperformance is not a meme

Roxorek

IWM gonna fly in 2026

Roxorek

IWM to 300

zxc123zxc123

TNA cause small caps. I have money behind it. But that wouldn't be fair cause it's 3x leveraged. So I guess IWM.

CountTurbulent4441

Are you still a member of SPX Gamma? Is it helpful for someone looking to trade SPY/QQQ/IWM options?

vermilli21

IWM and DOW closed in the middle. Honestly it’s a toss up going into next week

Crazy_Donkies

Healthcare without health insurance, tech, high dividend consumer staples.  If the economy continues to grow, IWM. Im 10 years from retirement so im all in tech, ad media, and fintech.

vermilli21

Maybe I took too much Tylenol…but does anyone else see the giant cup and handle forming on IWM 5 years chart. Might buy some 320c for August

iShitBloodandCumShit

Short IWM. Just loaded up some January $264-8 verticals since it was cheap 😂

bladzalot

YES!!! Finally a common sense answer :-). We are in a bear market, but nobody is paying attention… today is the 6th day in a row that we closed lower than we opened, and in the past 7 days the SPY has lost 20 points, QQQ lost 22 points, IWM lost 15 points. We have absolutely no catalysts to reverse the course short term. Be ready for the same shit we have seen the past week, just wider swings.

Gullible_Parking4125

I actually agree when you say people become anxious insurance agents. Most retail sellers definitely underestimate gamma risk and get lulled into a false sense of security by the theta drip. My point about managing the interaction wasn't really about micromanaging Greeks on a minute-by-minute basis, but exactly what you touched on: knowing when a correction or a major sector shift is about to turn that boring insurance play into a fire. For someone who doesn't just want to park it in SPY/IWM and forget it, how do you personally draw the line between being a passive yield-enhancer and just being blind to tail risk?"

itsnotshade

IWM should’ve benefited most from this reading, instead it’s gaining the least. Makes sense.

tldamico

SPY stuck at $680. IWM stuck at $250. These are just numbers. Not sure why they're important.

kokatsu_na

You are over-intellectualizing a relatively blunt instrument. If you are struggling to 'manage the interaction between Theta and Volatility' while at work, you are likely trading too big or trading the wrong tickers (high-beta meme stocks). Premium selling is not 'trading' in the active sense; it is yield enhancement. It’s supposed to be boring. It’s essentially running an insurance company: you collect premiums and hope nothing catches fire. If you have to stare at the screen to manage 'sector rotation risks' daily, you aren't a passive investor - you are just an anxious undercapitalized insurance agent. Most retail premium sellers simply trade gamma risk for theta drip. It feels like 'easy money' until a correction wipes out 6 months of premiums in 3 days. If you want to avoid burnout: 1. Stop micromanaging Greeks. 2. Trade liquid indices (SPY/IWM), not volatile trash. 3. Accept that simply buying and holding the index often outperforms this strategy with 99% less stress.

tripstermcgee808

Just dailies bro. Insurance with IWM puts if it tanks again

tripstermcgee808

I have $5k in IWM 255 calls expiring today. Make or break kind of vibes here 😂

tldamico

I need IWM to massively pump or massively drill. Hoping for something other than theta. 

tripstermcgee808

Literally just scaled IWM for the past two hours. Puts up and down. I’m exhausted

BootyButtCheeks321

IWM puts

PalpitationSmooth992

look at the 20 day chart for IWM its a giant middle finger

NationalOwl9561

If you looked at TLT/IWM chart you'd know exactly what's happening.

Glam34

Jeffries puts a $100 price target on IONQ, one of the top holdings in IWM. Jeffries holds a large IWM position. LOL

gratatatatatatat

O shit ur the IWM rotation retard LMFAO 🤣🤣 y r u so angry brokey?

Dyce10x

SPY down, VIX down, Gold/Silver going down, IWM down… what the fuck we holding cash ? Rotation my ass

sh1tler

#IWM green in this economy?!

Yul_B_Alwright

De-risk... IWM has been selling off. Pretty simple

95Daphne

IWM has underperformed the most on rate fears usually after the Nasdaq bottomed from the inflation bear market, but this hasn’t been how it’s worked on the upside, at least not yet and perhaps it may not be able to flex because of this situation being unique (rate cuts with folks being worried about inflation rising) for a good while longer.

Roxorek

cmon IWM time for a bounce

Gom_KBull

The smart bols would have moved to either IWM or RSP by now drooling, cockeyed bols still sitting in Qs and SPY.

Thisguymoot

IWM gets no respect

BaxterrStockman

IWM getting boatraced rn 🫠 Wtaf, it was barely even up to begin with lol, the literal equivalent of ‘what he say fuck *me* for?..’

DonJohnsonBTFD

Short IWM into decreasing rates is brave

Impressive-Mud-3362

I regret not reloading my short positions today, now I am just short on IWM 😞

Crazy_Donkies

I have every idea.  Until fundamentals change in a specific ticker, consumer spending is curtailed, or unemployment actually increases I will disagree with you every day of the week.   They are in "bear market territory" (What ever that means, since it doesn’t imply corporate performance), because of previous rotation into AI and Tech.   It's presently all sentiment. I will point you to two tickers as source of the rotation and that this isn't fundamentals.  IWM.  XLV.

prana_fish

This is so fucking stupid. I see bullish 2026 price targets citing AI as a catalyst. Yet AI trade in quality megacaps has been getting its ass kicked post earnings, beyond normal profit taking, while shitcos in IWM making new highs. FUCK THIS GAY EARTH.

chibi78

I lost unhealthy amount of money trading IWM. Gonna go to shooting range and write IWM on a target and unload

Roxorek

i dont like IWM weakness today it was lead bull last few weeks

fire_alarmist

Its times like these you really gotta buckle down, grow up, invest in good, high quality long term holdings like Tesla and leave the SPY, VOO, IWM garbage for the irresponsible kids to gamble on.

FuckleUp

Took 50% IWM swing call out

FuckleUp

IWM 💦

tripstermcgee808

Is IWM forming a classic head and shoulders rn?

Impressive-Mud-3362

I really need IWM to eat shit now

NationalOwl9561

Purely the TLT/IWM chart.

NationalOwl9561

TMV and TLT puts printin' for me. Protip: Watch the ratio chart, TLT/IWM. It'll help. :)

hishazelglance

Bubbly_Parking_8364

Buy IWM @ its current price of $253 @ 300 shares &75,900. SELL COVERED CALLS DAILY .85-.95 x(300 contracts) $25,500-$28,500 DAILY.  Send me a thank you check. 

tripstermcgee808

!banbet IWM 255 4d

circuitji

Do IWM or spy

Fineous40

During a crash there are no rotations into IWM

K_getts

MSOS over $6 puts the trend back to the bulls. IWM is trading in blue skies which is the main ingredient for small caps to really take off. TLRY biggest weekly volume candle in over 5 years. This is just the beginning folks!!! 

APJ30

I would allocate 70% of the portfolio on wheeling index funds like SPY/QQQ/IWM and 30% on good quality, slightly high IV names like TSLA, NVDA, NFLX etc. (all cash secured)

Impressive-Mud-3362

I have made money on SPY and QQQ bear ETFs, but am still down on IWM. This piece of shit just keeps going up, you are probably onto something

warlock22041

I bought IWM calls at 258 yesterday. Now you know

FuckleUp

GrumpsMcWhooty

hv876

GrumpsMcWhooty

Rare-ish_Birb

RoloTonyBrownTownn

jfc literally IWM and SPY start dumping right when over a million in volume come into MSOS

vermilli21

All my plays worked outVIX calls for next week ORCL 197.5p 0dte if I get in a good price CVX 1/2/2026 150p IWM AND SPY puts MSTR 182p if the price is right I'm out boys

Long_duk_dong_duck

Bets are in. IWM $259C and SPY $690C. LFGO

ARogueAnt

RSP (equal weight SPX) and IWM (small caps) hit ATHs and just keep ripping, rotation into tech soon inshallah

roswellralph

Yeah, on the 5 year. We are rotating back into small caps bigly. PMIs are going up, rate cuts, bull run will broaden nicely in 2026. IWM should do well

roswellralph

IWM breaking out above triple top. See you at 300

m0nk_3y_gw

QQQ, IWM, S&P, etc are all at all time highs but that doesn't mean the economy is doing well and it helps that he is tanking the dollar

vermilli21

Plays I’m doing tomorrow so you guys can inverse me if you want. VIX calls for next week ORCL 197.5p 0dte if I get in a good price CVX 1/2/2026 150p IWM AND SPY puts MSTR 182p if the price is right MSFT 0dte calls

EarIndependent7919

Ran a backtest on this strategy with data from 2015 to 2025. Daily IWM covered calls lost to buy & hold. Assignment costs > premiums, tons of missed upside, constant friction. Even with perfect execution, you end up doing 500+ trades for lower returns.

AVGO is going to kill all those AI stocks on the Russell. IWM calls it is.

Roxorek

boom portfolio hitting ATH thanks to IWM now need NFLX META and UBER to get its shit together

---Right--Tackle---

Imagine not putting on the short QQQ / long IWM pair trade on 10/29 🫵🏻

daddysgirl794
