Probably should have held my IWM puts to EOW.
Follow our free trade plans posted every morning. Use your charts and trade wisely. Today our spy calls went 150% and IWM went 200%+ We also trade live
I will be buying IWM puts at close. Thank you for your attention on this matter.
When I get IWM calls: I’m fuckt When I get IWM puts: I’m fuckt It’s a superpower
Can't a man have fun? I generally like XLV long and UNH is it's 4th holding. I think money rotates out of IWM/QQQ and into XLF/XLV. With BTC at ATHs risk is on and profits rotate. SPY is likely to keep trekking higher while QQQ see's choppy consolidation and the sectors that haven't run like XLV do so. XLF is getting a last leg up before consolidation it seems and if profits are going to rotate it's likely into healthcare IMO. Could be wrong, one day at a time. Right now, my risk-reward is favourable.
No chance. IWM is the machine that nobody is talking about….calls, calls, and more calls.
The move was QQQ puts, not IWM puts. Got it.
IWM with the guess I’ll die move
Hope ya'll got in IWM yesterday. Broke key resistance and FOMC basically cemented Sept rate cuts -- next stop $230 and it will probably be EOW, hell could even be tomorrow. Heard it here FIRST!
My IWM $200 Puts will print. July 18 expiry. Nothing is real.
I've been selling options on and off for a few years, I'm no pro (yet). I'd try a new strategy and get burned and take a few months' sabbatical to mentally recover lol. I've done Poor Man's Covered Calls in the past, got burned bad in Covid when the market plummeted and my LEAPS expired worthless. Have tried credit spreads and got burned badly not knowing where to set my deltas and having pretty much no exit strategy other than panic buying back after already losing way too much. For the last year I've been selling plain old CCs on QQQ and IWM 1DTE and have had some pretty good success and enjoy not having any 'real' losses unless a call gets assigned under my cost basis which would be my own fault anyways. (I'm getting to my question I promise) over the last few weeks I've been schooling myself on ICs and really like the fact you are (roughly, sometimes) doubling your credit with the same up front risk compared to a regular 2-leg credit spread. For strategy, I'd say 95% of what I read is pick .10-.15 delta roughly 45DTE, then take your profit or manage at roughly 21DTE. Since I am used to rolling and managing 1-0DTE covered calls, I really like your strategy for the 0DTE but I have yet to try it out. Before I start, I want to pick your brain a bit if I may haha. How much are you managing these? Are you watching constantly all day long and making quick moves to roll if needed? With my CCs I roll next day and leave it until the next day and manage so it's a pretty set and done until tomorrow morning thing for me. I am assuming you're monitoring much more than that. At what point do you take a loss/roll out next day? Do you go off a percentage loss or a delta? I believe you've said you let the 1 leg that should expire worthless sit and roll out the opposite leg, then sell another leg to complete the IC. Have you tried further expirations before such as the 45DTE and how much better are your returns comparatively? Sorry for asking so many questions but you seems to really know what you're doing and I want to quit my day job sooner rather than later. 🤣🤣
IWM needs to go up more because I might have bought when premiums were Fawkin high 👀
Oh look, my IWM calls are green again. Interesting
IWM has been insane this week
Made money off IWM. Fomc can suck it dry 🖕
IWM calls working. Question is to take the money or let them cool
I'm going to revenge trade IWM today. Surely it will work in my favor. If not, I yolo some SPX again. GL me
Consider buying dips between 618–619 if breadth confirms; fade any sharp rally that lacks IWM support.
It appears buying calls on IWM may not have been the right decision. Only index up today, so logically futures red
Well that round trips the IWM move today
All this bullshit going on and someone is snapping up small caps lol. IWM making the comeback
Bought a single IWM call. I think it plays catch-up to SPX for the rest of the week, but my conviction is low lol
IWM is a better play than SPY this week
IWM 220 pls and I will not touch myself or make my fiancé made tonight.
I need IWM to 221 and SPY to 218 rn or I’m gonna be eating ice cubes for dinner
ermm difficult question for me because i mostly trade futures options. but if i were to pick etf's i'd say SPY, QQQ, and IWM for indices and top 10 - 20 by marketcap in spx index. so all the major ones which have good liquidity.,
IWM calls were obvious You don't try to reason with the retard. You just profit off him
My precious IWM gona blow out all other indexes in July. Keep going my sweet baby you.
RSP and IWM green is a good sign even if SPY is flat.
I would like to speak to the retarded fund manager who is buying IWM ♿️🤡
IWM been leading the charge all day, setting the stage for QQQ and SPY to come rolling through back to ATHs.
IWM gonna pump then take a shit like yesterday or nah. Hmm
You’ve got until 4:15 on spy, qqq, and IWM.
IWM always dump hard during uncertainty and rise less than mega cap during boom time. The only time IWM outpace mega cap when risk on extend long enough that mega cap valuation slow down the increase, then money flow into copy cat stock in IWM. Which is almost at the end of risk off cycle. You have a very narrow window to make money with IWM if you just do share only and not doing theta play.
Bought an 0.08 put on IWM this morning, sold for 1.04. Think I'll just ride out the rest of today.
IWM dumping harder than everything as usual
IWM decoupling from spy. Parabolic incoming
It's impossible. Even with rate cuts midcap/smallcap companies don't ever make money. They're literally investment traps for "diversification". IWM will stay underperforming like it always does, but that doesn't mean it can't pump off copium.
Anyone playing IWM? It’s yet to reach ATH and the big beautiful buttlift is rocket fuel for small caps.
IWM is the ticker for an ETF that tracks the Russell 2000. It’s an ETF made up of small and mid cap stocks, it’s one of the primary indexes.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is an "IWM" stock?
The exchanges (e.g. CBOE, NASDAQ, etc.) are already looking into expanding the current list of daily expirations to the other symbols. TSLA and NVDA is sometimes mentioned in the news, IWM and TLT in the case of ETFs and the VIX and RUT in the case of an additional index symbols. What needs to be considered is the cost/benefit of adding a bunch of new daily expiration dates to the mix. I am guessing we'll see a few new symbols added to the list of those that have daily expirations by years end. But, as [Arcite1](https://www.reddit.com/user/Arcite1/) pointed out market demand is just one of many issues faced by the exchanges.
Upticks in PMI are better indicators for small/midcaps. Tech has been booming for years without it. IWM stocks are probably going to start fukin mooning though. Idk how long you’ve been here but every bull run has a narrative where a group of stocks that make no money hit valuations that make absolutely 0 sense. SPACs, EV, Weed stocks, AI, BTC miners, right now it’s quantum. I’ve seen it all. Funds basically see them as “risk on” places to park excess liquidity - the fundamentals mean nothing during this time and you’ll see tons of short squeezes. Before I even post this - “no automod you squeeze deez nuts”
Here’s the thing I’m on on quantum stocks and IWM just rotated adding in more quantum and ai stocks the market is all pumping in unison until the next black swan
Going into one of the most bullish weeks of the year. Everyone is going to be trying to short the top and it won't work, at all. Every tariff, interest rate, war, etc news line will be bearish but it's all a ploy to get your shares. IWM will lead then SPY then QQQ.
Some fine tuning for you (g)... Options on stocks stop trading at 4pm. Trading stops at 4:15pm for broad-based index ETFs like SPY, QQQ, and IWM, as well as options on major market indexes like NDX, RUT, and DJX: [https://support.tastytrade.com/support/s/solutions/articles/43000435335](https://support.tastytrade.com/support/s/solutions/articles/43000435335) Pin risk occurs at expiration when the price of the underlying is very close to the option's strike price and one can't know if the option buyer will choose to exercise the contract. In addition to being a diagonal spread, selling calls against calls you own can also be a horizontal or vertical spread. Cheers!
I like it, I’m roughly at 55% VOO, 30% QQQM, 10% BTC, 5% IWM. Don’t listen to the haters, you do you, I’ve been in that for years.
No dude you're good! You're not stupid. I don't really have anything to teach you, IWM for some reason had a .01 contract 5 strikes out and I just said fuck it why not. I made $175 earlier that day scalping a couple spy contracts so i basically flushed $8 down the drain and then this happened.
Good shit! I ZONED IN on IWM first thing this morning because I swore we were gonna hit 215, completely disregarding my plans for SPX and it reaching the weekly channel. Y I told myself take the L and be happy for the great week I had. Paid rent with SPX 👏🏾
I lost a bit in IWM too, but same as you, made easy money with spy and alot more than what I lost so we're chilling!
IWM kicking ass so today I went heavy and got clapped! 😭 Meanwhile my spx call for $80 went to $500 😮💨
Who's to say that this move is even tax cut/OBBB related? We saw the Nasdaq jump 10% to open up summertime last year, I suppose the way you can argue that there is a difference is that this time, everything is participating (IWM and the Dow lagged hard initially in the summer last year), but still. We're probably getting close to a top, but it's going to be a heck of a challenge to mess up the market mechanics.
This is probably boring to most of you but I closed longer dated IWM calls at 200% gain! Bought September OTM calls when IWM got above $200 and locked in profits just now. Still holding on to longer dated far OTM calls for a little while longer
Chances of a rate cut in July went down today at 5:30 am pst with economic data announced. IWM Small Cap and cannabis companies need rate cuts. SPY is going to outperfrom IWM today garunteed, even with SPY pushing new all time highs. Short squeeze on TLRY and CGC. Go watch the fire works
Godspeed my brother. Maybe a SPY/IWM pair trade could be good here
IWM hasn't beaten SPY in over 20 years.
Decided to buy IWM calls instead of SPY. Day 2 of being a clown
is the IWM pump gonna continue or do I need puts for next week
Wow IWM gave it all back
Yep, by the time everyone switched to AVUV and IWM, the run has finished 🤣
The only high yield anything where I actually like management and find it an interesting fund otherwise is BRW, which was taken over by Saba Capital in 2021. A summary from the fund's last annual report in 2024: "Below is an overview of the Fund’s portfolio performance for the period: Closed‐End Funds/Investment Trusts – Closed‐end funds continued to be a meaningful contributor to the Fund’s performance over the last year. The Fund primarily benefited from discount tightening as the average portfolio discount ended the period at approximately 10.7% from approximately 15.6% one year prior. Currently, the Fund holds about 60% long closed‐end funds, which are partially hedged. Cross‐Asset Relative Value Strategy – Dynamic positioning in Credit vs Equity indices (SPX/IWM vs HY index) contributed meaningfully in the third quarter with gamma and vega monetization around the volatility. Long/Short Credit – The Fund’s long exposure to bonds and loans, along with tactical hedges through CDX, served as contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund has opportunistically increased its allocation to long fixed income securities through investments in U.S. high‐yield and investment‐grade bonds and credit derivatives. Reinsurance – The catastrophe reinsurance market became dislocated at the end of 2022 (with premiums increasing, on average, between 20% and 50%+ YoY). The premium increase from 2022 has persisted, and the Fund has increased the exposure to about 13%. Agency Mortgages – During the depths of the regional banking crisis in Q1 2023, the interest rate volatility was significantly elevated and was “dislocated” compared to both equity volatility and credit volatility. Since then, there has also been a dislocation compared to investment grade corporate bond spreads. Although the dislocation has persisted thus far and led to moderate gains, we believe that this dislocation will likely dissipate. Equities – The Fund’s public equity investments benefited from the market rally and produced moderate gains. They were partially offset by equity hedges in the portfolio in place to neutralize the beta exposure in the Fund. Conclusion We will continue to search for investment opportunities with the goal of creating long‐term value for shareholders. If you have any questions about the Fund, please visit www.sabacef.com. We are grateful for your trust and support. Boaz R. Weinstein Founder and Chief Investment Officer Saba Capital Management, L.P"
Moves tomorrow: Buy SPX, RUT, and lotto on COIN/MSTR 0DTE. SPX and RUT are better than SPY and IWM for taxes in the US.
True! Thanks for breaking it down… I had a IWM call on my watch list that mooned, dipped back to purchase price and mooned again lol
BULL calls, IWM puts. I’m a real edger.
Why does anyone invest in IWM? Don't all the winners get filtered out? Lmao
I’m struggling with IWM… I hope it recovers an stays a course a bull trajectory soon
I've been buying calls all week. the day I buy puts shit reminds me why I shouldn't buy puts. lmao also shout out to IWM. up 250% on my calls
Im guessing IWM thinks the dollar has bottomed. Which makes no sense because fed is about to cut rates.
THEYRE LITERALLY REVERSING YESTERDAY LMAO. NASDAQ -> IWM -> NASDAQ It’s getting too wild 😭😭😭
Loading up on PUTS on IWM, QQQ and quantum stocks for next week. It’s gonna be April 2 all over again. Shorting SPY still feels too risky.
FYI, all that $$$ that came out of QQQ yesterday will be reinvested for IWM stocks on discount this morning. Just because… rotation and we are in a BULL market. Heard it here first!
IWM 222 calls will massively print
Still early but is it back? Is 10 year yield up=tech stocks automatically down byke? If it is, it's very much not a good sign as the way IWM has typically behaved with yields up like this (it's been the laggard) says the rotation is really degrossing. The good I suppose is we didn't get as badly off balance as last summer though...
Told ya earlier… all in small caps. Consolidated forever and finally broke, mounted and rocketed off 200SMA. Rate cuts sooner than expected, bill passed, July one of the strongest months. I mean what else? BTW RUT calls are going to absolutely fly tomorrow. IWM/RUT hasn’t had a 2-3%+ day in a month or so, long over due.
Bought IWM calls thinking the triple B would cause them to moon..but already down..hate when that happens
I broke my rule and bought IWM calls today, and immediately Lost 20% lmao
IWM call holders feeling like that office handshake picture meme...
Is IWM decent for options? I usually do spy and every other popular one but I’d be down to try something new
