Fml selling my IWM calls too early 😅
What will go red first? Spy, IWM, or qqq?
full port SPX and IWM calls, yarr.
full port SPX and IWM calls, yarr
We were eventually gonna gap fill down on SPY. IWM getting f’d over quantum stocks tanking
Just watch out for the bid/ask. Liquidity is sometimes an issue. RUT & SPX are more liquid usually, with SPX being the most of the index calls. You can hit really big better tax gain on NDX but because it’s so expensive you don’t see as many players SPX = SPY RUT = IWM
IWM and SPY holding on to that premarket low. QQQ already fell off the cliff
This heavy sarcasm might be why IWM/RSP are struggling lately, but it has nothing to do with tech, which has tried to dance to the tune of its own beat. This is PLTR/crypto centric. Believe it or not, although it's an unpopular opinion, but Trump was a sideshow initially earlier this year. AI selloffs can be as brutal as this and you even saw a couple with Biden.
You see, that was the way the rules worked before this year involving stocks and crypto, but it was reversed at least earlier this year. Crypto was first to top in January and stocks followed in February this year. If there's a loose correlation, there may be trouble if coin land doesn't ramp up soon and the bigger issue is probably that IWM and ARKK have flirted with danger.
MM said let me sweep those IWM stop losses real quick I need some share lmao
IWM 0dtes looking more juicy since GLD and tech are dumping with high IV and premium lmao
how about 10k in IWM 236 poots for december, some whale loaded up on those last week, I got in and out for a quick buck but might re-buy, this is just getting started
Market been dogshit past 2 weeks $SPY $IWM only ones running are the top7 this is great time to add dips 💪🏻👌✅
BTC trades like IWM, even slightly worse.
$QQQ , $SPY , $IWM selling off over night .
Got some QQQ and IWM puts for tomorrow. RIP my money. I plead temporary bersanity.
That the point if u hold etf like GLD IWM VTI SPY That always end up breaking new high U always ended up able to get out Is just how long Basically trading losing money on cut losses to bag holding Will it outperform buy and hold ? Probably not but if u need income or reinvest it might be a good deal
IWM (Russell) has been getting decimated the last few weeks...with interest rate cuts, not overly sure why...there is still like a 70+% chance a rate cut is coming in December too...IWM should be rocketing here...fucking regional banks.
Buying IWM calls, small cap stocks will rally
Fyi to bulls we just had a shit ton of puts loaded on IWM, SPY, and QQQ today with a heavy amount above the ask. Be careful. Be very careful. https://preview.redd.it/ohqmty7ya2zf1.jpeg?width=841&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1250a9d1bdd62196c2565b392ba42674ee17d037
incase anyone think this is buy the dip, S&P is only carried by big tech and AI. for a more accurate representation of how much more it will go down look at IWM, support is at 220. the 490 S&P stocks will continue to go down till end of the year. look at some of the big names like CL KMB are down 40% from ATH, the rest of the stocks will follow the massive correction
IWM and shitting the bed, name a more iconic duo.
IWM being banished now that rate cuts to 0% have been cancelled
Guess what calls I bought at open. IWM of course.
IWM is my new 0dte main piece now F spy
IWM with one of the most perfect Vs you've ever seen
At least market breadth is much better today, QQQ/IWM spread went from 1.3% this morning to 0.4% now.
So, we have SPY green, QQQ green, IWM green and somehow bers are fingerpoping each others like they won something. LMAO
245p IWM bought when it couldn’t break 246 and now up 40%. Easy money
IWM is the new spy for 0dte 😤
IWM just stuck at this fucking price
If IWM doesn’t break through 246, going short for next week
IWM end of day flush to 243 pls Friday Gambol
IWM left work for an early start to the weekend.
True, IWM needs the real economy to actually be healthy lol.
Man, good thing I got IWM calls today instead of QQQ.
IWM is a garbage ETF now which is why it’s still down lmao. Top 10 holdings is full of a bunch of unprofitable overpriced junk like quantum stocks and Oklo
IWM calls 251 11/5. Small caps may see more momentum and volume from the large caps to the small
it feels like IWM should take a massive dump but idk who in the world is keeping it up LMAO
You should be good. IWM has nothing but no revenue shitcos. No earnings, no post earnings dump
I blame you cucks for adding another ticker to my weeklies (looking at you IWM)
I'll chime in on IWM being dumb as hell.
Out of all days IWM is on its bullshit lol
Guess I’ll sell these IWM puts for a 40% gain cause apparently 246 won’t give until I do sell
Filled with lots of profit- and loss-taking. Lots of bears & bulls, and the volatility attracts lots of traders (including algos). Low-floaters with heavy options volume is also going to create volatility, as the MMs hedge all the calls/puts, and eventually unwind them with price fluctuations (or at opex). The de-spacs are established, with long investors, and included in ETFs/Indexes (eg, IWM). They see lots of passive buying volume. They're also likely range-bound by market-makers, for whatever reasons (buying volume, options pricing, analyst targets, etc). Institutions have a clearer picture on how to value them, and what risks to expect. They likely know how ridiculous some of the quantum valuations look, but if they're making money, I think they'll keep at it. Retail going all-in to become rich, isn't going to support the daily price action. Not without bids from MMs & institutions. Just some quick thoughts. Sometimes I think incorrectly about something. So... Not investment advice. 😜
hold ur calls. I will be placing IWM puts right now. The V will be immediate and shoot me straight to -80%
I was looking for a signal. And I think I got it if IWM closes in the green today
IWM trying its hardest to stay above 246….jist flush it already
Less rate cuts is not good for IWM
SPY and IWM daily charts lookin diffy 👀
I nailed IWM calls from the bottom, sold em at the top, nailed puts on the way down. Easiest trading day of my life. 700% in total, too bad it was only 5 contracts each way
IWM top holdings are basically just the popular meme stocks.
Just noticed that IWM not only bounced off its April low trendline today, but also bounced off of the horizontal resistance from its 2 prior tops the last 5 years and, just thrown in for fun, also off its daily 20SMA. [https://imgur.com/a/HjIowuU](https://imgur.com/a/HjIowuU)
"Guess I'll die 🤷♂️" \-IWM
>Rates gets cut by 0.25% >Powell says another rate is not certain >Spy dumps >IWM dumps >MSOS is green...? What?
IWM dying off the rate decision? Wtf did it want? 50bp cut? lmao
Today after marker is closed I am going to shooting range and I will write IWM on my targets and get some kind of satisfaction
Ahhhh. I was buying IWM 250’s but waiting to closer to 2pm. Fackkkkkkk.
IWM PUMP,,WOAHHHH WTF just happened???
Have you seen whats in IWM? All the top holdings are literal shitstocks. The IWM "breakout" is being led by pre revenue profitless junk, or literal scams like OKLO IONQ
I just can't get over how dangerous this move is into FOMC lmaooo. Tbh now I'd probably just lean towards IWM joining the party and tech holding most of this.
Ma'am are you still long IWM?
Mainly VIX dec 2025 ATM calls and IWM Jan 2026 245 puts
hilarious to see what IWM is doing on a like today
Good! 3/20/2026 IWM puts bought around the open. Sold 248 weeklies against them at end of the day. Prob sold some puts too early. I guess we will wait and see..
I don't understand why IWM is so shit today
IWM looks to be fueling up for an end of year breakout. NFA
you owe me 400 you're little piece of shit IWM
IWM was dumped completely. What do you think will happen tomorrow?
down -80% on my IWM calls, thanks Obama
IWM about to go Red, wtf? Was up 1.25% shortly before open. This should be mooning if China talks going well.
IWM why you're doing this shit to me
IWM gonna be the first of the bunch to fill the gap, which probably means go long as soon as it does.
VIX says we continue to pump. Or no dumping at least for now. Unless you're in IWM. As myself.
IWM is fucking me with this limp dick action since 9:40
My IWM puts i bought this morning are up 35%
I'm going Vix calls and IWM puts. May the best regards win.
You have 1.5 million, you are ahead of so many of your peer's there is no need to try and go full ham and be aggressive you can literally sit at 50/50 invested, something that the great John boggle did while he was sick and wanted to protect his nest egg. 50% Equities as simple as SP500, or can get fancy and do 5% Small Caps(IWM) and 5% mid caps (IWS), and 5% international (VEU). 50% AGG bonds, and if you are worried about the debasement trade put 5% in gold, and 5% in BTC, with 40% in AGG bonds or equivalent.
I just want to remind everyone "if there's no clouds in the sky, you bought too high". Having said that I'm looking for the small cap index (IWM) to increase after the rate cut.
Rate cut news IWM > SPY. Trust!
SCHD is likely to hold up better than the market if it tanks because I think that it has a 10% exposure to tech versus 35% in the S&P 500. I highly doubt that you can put on a 2 year collar at 90%/130% with a net cost of less than 1%. Apart from the width disparity, dividends increase the cost of puts relative to calls. Having retired young, my goal is different than most here. After years of aggressive growth, my focus changed to keeping my money and having some potential for growth. rather than full exposure to growth. That's means hedging. My game is keeping my nest egg so I'm willing to leave both tails to others. They can have the big gains and the big losses. I'll accept more modest gains with no killer losses (see 1987, 200, 2008, 2020). Every few years after large market increases (or when there's adverse market news), I buy IWM or SPY put LEAP spreads 10% OTM and 10% wide with a cost of about 1.5% of the proceeds being hedged. Because I'm comfortable shorting equities, 10% OTM gives me modest protection and between the two, I can offset a decent amount of portfolio loss. With a normal cooperative market during the year, I cover and re-sell the short puts and/or roll the long leg down, lowering the cost of the position of to a net outlay of half a percent or better. If the market is higher after 6-9 months or time decay has eroded the short puts, I close them, ending up with long protective puts which then provide full protection below their strike price. How effective they are depends on the index's current price. If the long puts have any decent salvage value, sometimes I roll them out to the next hedge to avoid the increased theta decay during the last few months before expiration. In 2020, I had a lot of leftover long March SPY puts worth 15 cents two weeks before expiration. When the market tanked due to Covid, I rolled, selling them for $15 to $21. I rolled them down 2-3 more times that month. Between these leftover puts and individual position hedges, I was down less than 10% when the market dropped 35%. Reasonably easy to recover from. And this was despite owning several 1,000 share positions in large caps that lost more than 50% during the drop (CCL, DOW). This year, the tariff talk troubled me. In early February, I bought Sep '25 and Jan '26 IWM $210 puts outright and I rolled them down 3 times to $175, putting a nice gain in my pocket. The Jan $175-s are highly likely to expire worthless but I booked a nice gain from the process. Personally, I wouldn't do a 2+ year collar. Yes, the cost per day is less than 1+ years but if the market rises, they become ineffective. Let's assume (a guess) that a 2027 10%/30% is 2/3 the cost of 2028. If the market drops, your collar does what it's supposed to do. If VTI rises nicely, you can deploy that 1/3 cost savings into a collar at higher strikes, establishing more effective protection. Another advantage of the 1= year collar is that later in the cycle, it will be easier to roll the short call up and out for a credit, avoiding assignment and a taxable event. A 2+ year collar will retain much more time value and rolling will be more costly. If you don't understand some of this, ask for clarification.
