Look, I'm mostly in metals right now. A few small puts on IWM and SPY but it's noise, so I don't really have a dog in this fight tomorrow. That said, I hope we have a biblical fucking collapse tomorrow and most of you dumb fucks lose your asses. Just retard after retard pretending like this signing is gonna muh pump the market, it's sickening.
Money flow into other sector. Mag 7 down, RSP up, IWM slight down.
With eco Friday that theta will kill you. Bought Monday qqq puts and IWM at the open today.
No inflation or jobs data = no inflation or job losses. All in IWM calls now.
Before 2008 people saw their houses double in value and then double two more times. I guess some people thought "I guess this is supposed to happen to me" but most people knew it wasn't sustainable. The average person where I lived (South Florida) did know they were lending to people with no income, and people did talk about it. Now check the daily chart of IWM around that time and you might notice 19September2008. At one point small caps were up 19% from the previous day's high. If you correctly identified the coming catastrophe you still had to watch all your puts go to $0.05 before being proven right in the 2 months that followed.
Buying Nvdia with a IWM hedge. Nvdia very much do underperformed to the upside as small caps did nothing. Tells me Nvdia should look to record to 199$ by Thursday even with weak mkt and iwm is looking for any excuse to dump.
But on another note, selling iron flys on IWM or SPY, 4-2 hours before closing isn’t a bad idea if you’re not expecting a move. The ATM calls still have enough value and 2 strikes out in both direction for insurance are roughly 10-15% of the value of your short call+put position. Closing it approx 30 mins. But take this with a grain of salt- I’m an 18yo economics student who just got into this stuff lol
IWM only prints AFTER I sell my calls. It will never be great as long as I hold.
IWM I know you want 246 today!!
I will say this to all bears. If the stock market somehow ends up positive today abandon all hope of shorting until spy 720 IWM 270 qqq 650
Yeah my IWM puts and banbet are done. Was expecting at 1% drop last night.
Are you still doing this? I do 1DTE QQQ, SPY, & IWM. I buy long LEAPS 15-18 months out and sell debit spreads on them. Been killing it!! If the strike gets breached, I roll up and out enough to break even or a credit. The long calls are making money in this scenario. Roll those out when enough profit to buy another LEAPS call to add to the collection. If market goes down, the sport calls make money.

Good idea. I was like you but now I’ll pick 3 names , tops and go long 2 short 1 (nvda, mrvl, DUOL last week for example - and open a qqq/spy or outright IWM PUT and just rotate. Has really helped lower the noise. When things go crazy I feel in control and more importantly every night I go to sleep not caring if we are up 1000 or down 1000 the next day. As long as it’s not unchanged I’m normally good. Cheers 🍻
Dedicated index guys will load up on IWM. It’s below all time highs and not up half as much as qqq. Some funds FORCE managers to be vested. It’s kinda crazy. 🤪
Man there were a couple good ones today but I couldn’t engage oh well..IWM puts then calls 😬
There were a couple of good ones today but I missed em IWM puts then calls 😬

Fuck IWM keeps dropping
You're fomoing? IWM taking a shit all up in its pants and you are fomo'ing?
Why IWM and RSP are the way to go in Jan
Leaps at all time highs ? I would think a long straddle 7 months out w work better. Next year early after hopefully fed cuts in December it looks very dangerous. The year will start with a ton of doubts and hedgies underperformed 2025. They def will not accept losses early on and be aggressive selling/hedging. The January effect only really applies to small caps also. The Tax-loss selling in December often pushes down high-volatility names, so that being said a LEAP is probably best made mid January not now. I would buy Feb IWM/spy combo calls with a qqq out hedge and rerack those leaps after that for dec1 2026- but wtf do I know. 2-4dte is my sauce.
I do this most days when I can a livestream or app running in the background. You need to watch the price and understand your exit. Otherwise you’ll fall victim to theta, a swing in the other direction, or end up with worthless options. IWM seems to have a lot of price swings as does QQQ. There are some days where I have to wait hours because I didn’t catch a price swing. I’ve lost big and have gained well. Always practice good risk management or you can seriously blow your account.
Yeah that's the reason I am in Mid Caps IWS, small caps IWM and VEU as part of the 50% equities, if the AI bubble pops won't be hit as hard, but the international run due to dollar drop also has me thinking twice about being heavy international, if AI bubble pops that could be a flush from international as people run to value and bonds, lots of ifs and buts, can't wait to see how it plays out. All I know is whoever is 100% sp100 has some thick skin, and you are definitely not so have some good hedges for various scenarios.
Yes, luck/lottery. I have a great example from yesterday. I am a member of a trading community (chill people, I am not here to push anything nor will I even say the name). We were watching IWM on the chart and it was looking like it was going to breakout. At 2:00, the 241 call was just OTM and the ask was 0.04. The owner of the discord was ready to buy 1500 contracts (would have cost him $6,000). I told him not to because we only had 1.5 hrs left to trade, theta was kicking in, and the options were expiring. He didn’t buy, but we kept watching. The 241 calls that were 0.04 at 2:00 went all the way to 0.78 at 3:00. Had he bought, his $6,000 would have turned into $102,000. That is a 17X. This is a one in a million chance. Totally not reproducible. Complete, pure luck.
20x can happen in weeks, days if you get lucky, but 5x or 10x can happen with IWM, often
Somewhat. I've been buying up IWM calls
Bwahahahaha sold my IWM calls for 45% profit
IWM green. Recession cancelled.
Fuck why didn’t i pull the trigger with IWM earlier
I love my son more than anything in this world and only that can compare to that is my hate towards IWM
I am day dreaming about stabbing IWM multiple times
Tariff canceled. government open. China deal they promise to buy everything from us for 1000 years till the end of Ming dynasty. IWM to the moon after
Every bear in here thinks they are right. That can only mean one thing. They are about to be violated. The market already had its correction in April. We will push to spy 700 ,IWM 260. Only then will they give the market permission to die
I work in public health and make about $1,600 a paycheck. Since my employment began in March, I have invested $7,000 into a 457b that is allowed through my workplace, choosing the most aggressive investing plan they have. As such, the investing firm who manages this has made a whopping... $305. I have maxed out my Roth IRA for the year, but the normal DCAing I have been doing has already nearly doubled what I have put in, and then some. At this rate, is it even worth investing in my 457b? I still don't really understand the advantages it offers over regular retirement accounts, but less that a 5% return over 9 months has me skeptical. If I am to keep contributing, what would be a reasonable amount to put in weekly? Am I better off simply pocketing the cash I would normally contribute or investing it elsewhere? I can't help but feel as though I would make more money DCAing of my own accord, even outside of my Roth IRA. * How old are you?

Good my IWM 245p 11/10 bought last Friday is doing work
This isn't just an AI bubble popping if everything is crashing. IWM, BTC, etc.
1) Trump's silence about cannabis 2) The market at large is correcting, look at Spy and IWM.
Actually, RSP is about 14% above, but it definitely has been weak. It tried recovering from the China news earlier in the October but has immediately sold to basically the lows while the large cap averages are still above. But yeah, even if IWM ramps hard tomorrow, it's still holding on by a toothpick and a weekly close under might just be a formality to officially ending the fun with names like RKLB, ASTS, even RDDT.
IWM and equal weight S&P 500 rolling over. Both below 2024 highs. Basically 5 megacaps holding up the market.
IWM always shits the bed. Nothing new
Wait a second.. so IONQ, RGTI, OKLO, and BE are some of the largest holdings in the Russell 2000? Oh fuck IWM puts
So you mean to tell me OKLO, IONQ, RGTI, and BE are among the top holdings in the Russell 2000? IWM puts
Indexes bro, QQQ, SPY, IWM
Yup, and if he's scared add bonds. 50/50 if so scared.. 50% sp500 and 50% agg bonds.. to reduce exposure to AI bubble the 50% equities portion can add 5% small caps via IWM, and 5% mid caps via IWS... and then for the USA doom and gloomers who want international exposure... add 5-10% into international index such as VEU, I own it but not as a bet against america only to smooth volatility at the cost of future returns in the past 75 years international has always hovered around 7-8% returns over long periods of times. You participate on the continued bullish run, when it eventually corrects your bonds will protect you and soften the blow, then you can choose based on how severe the correction is to go back in a little heavier such as 70/30 or 80/20. All this is jack boggle approved, except your all cash move.. never do that.
nah do 50/50 if you are so scared.. 50% sp500 and 50% agg bonds.. to reduce exposure to AI bubble the 50% portion can add 5% small caps via IWM, and 5% mid caps via IWS... and then for the USA doom and gloomers who want international exposure... add 5-10% into international index such as VEU.

Buying calls EOW is a risk, you could get better pricing Monday but the only risk if news happens and we end up gaping up Monday, making those calls pricier. Specifically trading IWM or SPY. So short answer yea, so market has more days to recover throughout the week , since I’m buying 2-4 DTE options
It was delayed by the early year shenanigans, but I think you're finally seeing similar stuff to 2021 in more speculative areas. If ARKK closes here and IWM closes below 2021 cycle highs on the week, it's a bad look. 5 million dollar question if so is if the Nasdaq already set its long term high or will very shortly unlike 2021 where it was delayed. If it has, I just think it happened too early for the fun on the downside to get into the territory of -50% and major names getting tossed in jail involving AI. Might get 33-35% on the downside and that's it..
Welp, all of the IWM gains yesterday wiped out in an hour, noice.
OP needs to be specific when mentioning small caps. IWM isn't doing well comparing to SPY and QQQ, but meme stocks are actually doing very well...
I told my therapist I keep waking up at night thinking about short dated OTM IWM options after seeing someone here turn $200 into $18k unexpectedly. And that learning how to spot those opportunities could change my life forever and help me escape my soul crushing 9-5. And my therapist said what is an option? So I’m not doing therapy anymore gotta find someone more options literate.
Why would you buy puts on IWM during a rate cut cycle? Lmao
Do you know why IWM is not falling and SPY and QQQ are?? Because I have puts on IWM. Thank you for you attention to this matter
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
