Trying to stay long vol while hedging Mid Cap stocks and tech
Mentions
Do not buy BTC, it will head to zero, they are out of buyers. Most indexes will perform equal long term so if u buy one that is down u will win. I own 6 : BRKB(works like a fund they own 130 companies) , FZIPX-0 FEE Small cap, MDY -mid cap, Fnilx -0 fee Large cap. QQQ Or VGT -tech or nasdaq, Semiconductors -an Ai play- SMH. I do not rebalance to avoid taxes, so I could really own 1 of these only ,If I did rebalance, I would buy FZROX a zero fee total market fund.
If you look at the price action of MDY and AVUV, you’d be surprised people are still bearish. Ber r fuk
I too have wasted money on volatility calls. Rebalancing HFEA style with metals adds a 3rd variable. I may go to $AOR 60/40 or $AOK 30/70 because I think the bond market may sniff a lower ten year when jobs numbers are not stunning. I should be selling gold but I trimmed junior miners to keep GDX and XME. I could have just bought GDE. This is the part of the cycle metals outperform and if you noticed mid caps have, until Wednesday outperformed MYY MIDU or MDY call options were 33% easy. I cannot hedge for Armageddon. But I can keep cash. And remember bonds too can crash. Metals by 50% gold silver more.
I never let an individual position exceed 5%. Indexes are exempt, so, current largest position is MDY at 25% but it's also in the exempt category
I agree with the people talking about the crap sneaking in. Long story short, personally, MDY has been the index I've been feeding lately
Fellas… called it yesterday. Have awoken from my hibernation to let you know Christmas rally is starting. IWM/MDY will lead the way with tech being spotty but still advancing. Your welcome.
So you didn't look at MDY today?
Could be but if the MDY400 started to outperform the OEF100 US stocks, would that confirm inflation? One could argue that.
That's really up to you. If you want to reduce small cap exposure but have mid-cap exposure - you can always use VOO instead of VTI and something like MDY or IVOO.
There's not really a perfect strategy, typically what I do is when I have a runaway chart that's going parabolic I start trimming it and rolling that money into index funds, right now I'm feeding MDY but it depends on your own allocations and what sections of your index funds that you want to add money to Some of these keep going and one of these days it's going to end very badly. A lot of people have not only been conditioned to buy every dip but they think tech is just going to keep going. I strongly believe in other 2001 scenario is in the somewhat near future, like less than 5 years. It's likely a generation of people will have substantial wealth destroyed, they deserve it actually, but there's no way to time it so the only thing I can come up with is to trim and roll into various indexes
I’d suggest reading the survey that USA Today quoted, their quote is misleading if not erroneous. “…8% who placed the odds of recession in 2025 at 50% or higher just prior to the April 2nd tariff announcement.” And for a point of reference, this is a survey of 41 “professional forecasters”. https://www.nabe.com/NABE/NABE/Surveys/Outlook_Surveys/April_2025_Outlook_Survey_Summary.aspx?_gl=1*19unwdj*_ga*MTYxNDY3MDY2NS4xNzQ1OTkzMDcy*_ga_J48PFZK49C*MTc0NTk5MzA3MS4xLjEuMTc0NTk5MzA3OC41My4wLjIwNTUzMDE4MjE.
Went all in on MDY at 541 .. was much more patient on this trade than I am driving in traffic
Because it should be in order of the passage of time when represented, its an international standard used by the United nations. DMY or YMD. MDY is the United States and its failed education system failing to be updated and sticking with the system they inherited from the British (who changed over in the 20th century).
MDY, being mid. Much lower PE than VOO, And much more stable companies than the smalls, in terms of balance sheets and earnings stability.
The dip has already dipped. $7T coming off sidelines. Biggest squeeze of last two years is here/coming especially in small and mid caps. iWM/MDY has the full green light from all angles. Republicans are gonna control senate/house/presidency and make America great again pouring endless amounts of $$$ into businesses and 🇺🇸 economy will continue to boom. Rate cutting cycle too?? Sheeesh …. 1997-2000 run is upon us.
You do realize we are in a minor correction. Not that type of correction though… A correction in time that is just chopping back and forth at resistance and support. Next move is UP and it’s going to be a massive MASSIVE breakout to ATH on all indices, especially MDY/IWM. Accumulation phase whether you like it or not.
VOOV tracks the S&P 500 Value Index and VOO tracks the S&P 500 Index. They are different indices. The S&P 500 Index is the generic large cap US equity index that many people like to benchmark again. There are 2 variants of the S&P 500 index. The S&P 500 Growth Index and the S&P 500 Value Index. If you are using Vanguard products: VOO tracks the S&P 500 Index VOOV tracks the S&P 500 Value Index VOOG tracks the S&P 500 Growth Index It's up to you if you want to spread your investments out - usually when an investor does that - it's to seek exposure or concentration to other asseet classes, sectors, industries, etc. For example - you could hold both VOO and VOOV because you want slightly more concentration to value of US large cap. Or you could hold VOO and MDY (a midcap ETF) because you want more exposure to US total market but you want to avoid small caps. Or you could hold VOO and BND because you want to have a different asset class (ie bonds) in your portfolio. It really not really about whether it's better or not - it depends on the investor's own personal investing thesis, their risk tolerance, and knowledge, etc. etc.
Brokerage account advice on portfolio I am new to investing and wanted to come and ask there is anything I should change to this portfolio. My goal was to have a percentage in each sector to maximize growth. I would have the same percentage in each investment, and I have a S&P 500 fund in my Roth IRA. The ones I am looking into are VGT-Vanguard Information Technology ETF MDY-SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF V-Visa Inc JPM-JPMorgan Chase & Co CVX-Chevron Corp XLV-Health Care Select Sector ETF PPA- Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF AVUV-Avantis US Small Cap Value ETF
https://totalrealreturns.com/s/SPY,MDY Mid-caps outperformed large-caps since 1995. Sure, it's possible that the very largest companies outperformed vs most large-caps and mid-caps, but judging by the general trend, not likely.
MDY + IWM pumping, gay bears on a timer to exit their shorts
VOO, QQQ, Apple, Microsoft, Costco, IVV,IUSG, MDY
Again, it’s not a sell off (well it is for ants) but it’s a rotation. QQQ hit upper trend line from the Jan 23’ channel. Profit taking time today and reinvesting tomorrow into MDY, IWM. Next six months looks bright.
Whole tech sector. Profit taking from QQQ hitting upper trendline from Jan 23'. Rotation time to IWM and MDY. Heard it here first.

This [repo](https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/post-no-preference/options) has historical US equity option prices, vols, and greeks for SPY, MDY, and SPSM ETF components as well as SPDR ETFs. It doesn't have all expirations and strikes, and the data is recorded just 3 times a week, but maybe it helps.
No - not necessarily. There are lots of low cost index funds that track other indices. There are indices for just about everything out there. That's what index providers create and manage as a business. For example - a popular small cap index fund is IWM which tracks the Russell 2000. Or MDY for Rusell midcap 400. Some of the oldest ETFs are based on MSCI world indices like EWJ, EWH, etc. As well as DIA which track the DJIA index. These index funds won't contain TSLA if that' some a requirement for you. If you are looking for a large cap US equity fund that doesn't include TSLA - you may have to look a bit more - but I'm sure that they are out there. Or you can construct your own.
My MDY is up nicely too
Nice! Let's hope the momentum keeps up. Seems like volume is starting to pick up as well so hopefully some more volatility next week. Also seems like analyst are waking up and putting some bullish price predictions lately.

Look at the chart again - MDY has beaten SPY for all-time returns. It doesn't need to have anything to do with growth or value, it's just an etf that has beaten the market.
If you wanna go older, MDY has beaten SPY since the existance of etfs
https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/post-no-preference/options: - has historical bids, asks, vols, and Greeks - covers SPY, MDY, and SPSM components as well as SPDR ETFs - goes back to 2019 - only covers select strikes and maturities - uses dolt, so you can query the database with SQL in the browser or clone it for a local copy
[https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/post-no-preference/options](https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/post-no-preference/options) is free but it: * only has SPDR ETFs and SPY, MDY, SPSM components * only has data for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays * only has data for 2-week, 4-week, and 8-week expirations * covers most but not all strikes * doesn't include open interest and volume
SPY has turned into a concentrated collection of U.S. mega caps To achieve more diversification, you can buy: - IWM: US small caps - MDY: US mid caps - EFA: Foreign developed markets (Europe, Japan) - EEM: Foreign developing markets (35% China) - VT: Vanguard Total World Stock Index - VTI: Vanguard US Total Market Index To achieve even more diversions, you can buy commodity based ETFs such GLD (gold) and SLV (silver)
The dreaded IWM of course and MDY. RSP a decent option for larger scale profitable only also. But these are just what im in, not a recommendation to others.
If you’re young, SPY or S&P 500-tracking alternatives, also MDY/IJR (S&P, mid cap & small cap stocks, respectively (fluctuantes, time range 15+ years minimum, average yearly gain +10%) if you want something with a shorter time horizon, thus more secure w conservation of capital, go with bond ETF’s or box spreads. USFR for if you need the money to pretty much never go down for more than a few days and barely by a fraction of a percent, currently the rate on this is 5.3% although it’s subject to move depending on how interest rates move, and most likely will go down a little bit in the future. A particular stock I would recommend besides the big ones like AAPL, AMZN, etc is: SPGI- S&P Global. They are the company that “supplies” the “S&P 500” index as well as many other major indexes (list of stocks complied into a general baseline for the average stock on the list). In order for a bank or whoever to create an indexed ETF that uses any of their indexes, you have to pay them a percentage of your holdings in that ETF for the right to use it. Well, over 1/3 of all mutual funds & ETFs use S&P Global’s indexes. They have their hands in a 1/3 of a $6.7 Billion industry (ETFs), they’re also a dividend aristocrat that has raised their dividends every year for the past 50 years, consistently.
Maybe more complicated than necessary AVUV has .25% expense ratio, VB has 0.05% MDY has .23% expense ratio, VO has 0.04% QQQ has 0.2% expense ratio, QQQM has 0.15% If you want to invest in small, mid, and large caps, VTI is an easier way to do it than three different funds. Unless you want to be overweight in small/mid caps for some reason, which you are. About 25% of VOO is tech, so QQQM is also making you overweight in large cap tech. Something like 83 of the 100 companies in QQQM are also in VOO. And likely all 100 are in VTI. Owning your home outright at 23 is bananas... I assume you inherited it -- that's pretty huge. Figure out how to make more money... You can drop about $540/month into your IRA in theory, and $1,875/mo into a 401k. The dream is being able to do both of those every month.
> I thought this would be an easy swing trade I don't think there is such a thing as an easy swing trade. Even after many years studying the market, I still often guess wrong on short term movement. I think index ETFs are a good way to go for long term investing. Right now, I think I prefer a mid cap ETF like MDY because the S&P 500 is so heavily dominated by a few huge companies (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN and NVDA alone are about 20% of it) that I don't think it's as diversified as it once was. Ideally though, I prefer a mixture of small, mid cap and large stock ETFs and an international index fund since different size companies sometimes do better at different times.

Expand your charts man. Meta is down 20% from ATH, while MDY is only down 10%. Some of the stocks rocketing 100% where already down >50%. You can't expect a stock that went down 10% to also rocket like stocks that were beat down and thrown in the gutter.
Back to 410 we go. I’m sure that SPY will reach 480 again someday, I just don’t envision that being this year or the next. I don’t understand how people are generally still so bullish when megacap tech aside, the broad market has for the past few years, and still is, performing pretty horribly. SPY MDY is bang on flat from where it was on Jan 1 2021 - 0% nominal returns when inflation has been raging the past two years is a truly ghastly real return. it’s very possible that this ends up being a lost decade for the broad market, and that stock picking individual stocks becomes the way to go moving forward.
Which is why I really don’t get how and why people here are generally still so bullish. Megacap tech and a handful of other standout stocks aside, the broad market has pretty much gone nowhere for three years now - SPY MDY is flat/red since late 2020. Index and chill no longer works if the breadth of the index is going nowhere and showing no signs of reviving anytime soon
It genuinely feels like a handful of companies are propping up the bulk of SPY’s and QQQ’s gains with how they’re skyrocketing (eg NVDA), while the broader market has hardly moved for a long while now, or even continued going down. See QQQ gaining 5.5% in a month, while SPY MDY and Russell 2000 are both down -1.5%. That’s a 7% difference which is really surprising
Found out there's an S&P 600 for small cap that has a profitability requirement. Weird thing is it's been flat since 2020 while midcap is up 20% So there's S&P 500 - large cap -SPY S&P 400 - mid cap - MDY S&P 600 - small cap - SLY
S&P 400 MDY is up 25% over 5 years, the underperformance is from unprofitable and meme stocks getting into the Russells which don't have a profit requirement is what's causing the drag.
I must have missed where the cap-weighted S&P was outperforming the equal-weighted version and where MDY wasn't up 7.2% and IWM wasn't up 7.5%. Yes, your old school index lost its gains for the year, but to say that the gains have just been related to the top 10 stocks is misleading.
No. Get an equal weight fund like RSP or get mid cap etf like MDY. Outperforms S&P 500

Well, from the description its not [Lambo](https://www.reddit.com/r/SPACs/comments/rnj56h/a_very_flimsy_but_interesting_case_for_pntm_and/) or [Rimac-Bugatti](https://www.reddit.com/r/SPACs/comments/rnpq4b/delving_further_into_pntm_and_vw_links_an/). Even the more realistic guesses like [INNIO](https://www.reddit.com/r/SPACs/comments/sgej06/pntm_target_speculation_innio/) seem to have been wrong ([revenue is too high](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=94d896168d316509JmltdHM9MTY3Mjc5MDQwMCZpZ3VpZD0xYzUyYWYxNC04N2NkLTY2MzgtMzZmYS1iZTY5ODY4MDY3ZWEmaW5zaWQ9NTI0Mw&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=1c52af14-87cd-6638-36fa-be69868067ea&psq=innio+moodys&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9maW5hbmNlLnlhaG9vLmNvbS9uZXdzL2lubmlvLWdyb3VwLWhvbGRpbmctZ21iaC1tb29keXMtMTg0NjA1Nzg1Lmh0bWw&ntb=1)). At least the forty years narrows it to the mid 80s, but the $1b revenue is too low to turn up on Forbes list of private companies.
MDY midcap 400. I think its pretty safe.
Sell everything and buy these indexes. equal weight funds like MDY-RSP and small cap value like AVUV. Equal weight funds outperform market cap weighted stuff and small cap value beats mostly everything also in the long term so with these two you will do great. Good luck
Those are not blue chips. I’m skeptical on QQQJ. Just because of the advertising campaign in heavy rotation for MDY, which is similar. Cute advertising campaign. Not quite a gecko or Progressive. But close. But, too much, and too thirsty.
What about other things that are not ETFs? - UITs (SPDR, QQQ, MDY) - UCITS (etfs tradeable in Europe) - ETMF (EVFTC) Some ETFs replicate the index with partial (synthetic) replication. You could probably approximate the S&P with only a small number of positions, but would have to accept a tracking error. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0927539821000803
Can't you read a chart? MDY's time was in surviving the dot com bubble better, but it's just a fact that it has been worse than VOO the past ten years, and way worse the past five years. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MDY:NYSEARCA?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjrM7BiKr7AhUVIUQIHWdYDgsQ3ecFegQIJxAY&comparison=NYSEARCA%3ASPY%2CNASDAQ%3AQQQ&window=5Y
Now you're just making crap up. MDY has returned 651% since 2000. Meanwhile SPY returned 316%. Sit this one out sparky. You clearly don't understand asset allocation.
MDY is a dud that only tends to do less bad in cruddy times. Perfect example. There is no reason to have MDY in the longrun since VOO outperforms it by 50% for the past five years and 10% over ten years, while QQQ outperforms it 2-1 over both spans. In bad times, the "bad" can be caused by lots of reasons so different types of stocks and etfs could be appropriate for the times, but not being able to beat VOO in longrun is something an active investor shouldn't waste time with.
There is a ton of data that shows merely owning the S&P 500 index is not the best idea. Example? If you insist on an index fund, the midcap space has consistently outperformed, including during downturns. The $MDY MidCap 400 beats your index funds by 400 basis points this year.
That's an interesting ETF but idk if I would call it a mid-cap ETF. It's all of the largest stocks that aren't in the S&P. As for what I'd consider to be a mid-cap ETF...MDY would be one of them. VXF's just an interesting gauge for me...it and the small caps show off that a lot of stocks have already lost their post-Feb 2020 gains.
They are running those annoying TV ads about “the middle” (MDY) in heavy rotation in my area. Not quite what you want but a similar theme.
Everything cheaper now. Just spread it around, MDY IWM SPY MGK
Why not SPY/MDY (or similar)? It's the same hands-off, no look, investment, but better performance.
It will go up, it will go down, long term trend is up. I'm old enough to have been through plenty of ups and downs. The 2001 dot-bomb, the 2008 market smash, the 2020 drop, and various rallies and drops in between. All have rebounded. There have been corrections, there have been rallys, the US economy finds a way, short of nuclear disaster I think it will always find it's way even through tough times. Best way to deal with the ups and downs? Dollar Cost Average your holdings over time and you will get rich slowly. I'm 55. At 25 years old my net worth was a few thousand bucks. At 55 enough to retire on a self funded pension. Dollar Cost Averaging is what did it. Holdings: At the time for growth, before I re-balanced for getting close to retirement: SPY, DIA, QQQ, MDY, BRKB.
MDY. I think it means 105% above current MV. Will look again for amount.
Some etfs that imo are long term plays-> S&P $VOO, SPY, RSP. Small cap VBR and mid cap MDY.
If you think that's crazy, take a look at the Apple daily chart. Or MDY, the S&P 400 which includes GME among holdings. The whole market has been rebounding as shorts close hedges related to war and inflation trades. GME has additional catalysts and is a popular momentum play. It can go back to ATH off momentum but I wouldn't read too much into this. > There’s no way retail investors are moving this stock like this. 60.2% of GME is owned by retail. > What’s next for “power to the players” stock since we are not allowed to mention the ticker symbol. Depends if people make the same mistake of spreading buying power out to AMC and other meme stocks. AMC was up 44% yesterday so it looks like no one learned.

Oh, my mistake let's look at mid and small cap indexes over the past month to quarter instead: IJH iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF = +1.99% past month / +1.57% past quarter MDY SPDR S&P MIDCAP 400 ETF = +1.64% past month / +1.57% past quarter IWM iShares Russell 2000 ETF = -0.08% past month / -5.25% past quarter IJR iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF = +2.72% past month / +0.39% past quarter vs GME = -17% past month / -33% past quarter So based on that we're saying that GME's recent weakness is in line with the rest of mid and small cap performance?
Where are you getting this from? MDY the midcap ETF down less then 10% from ATH.
I'm equal SPY, QQQ and MDY.
Daily reminder that roughly 85% of the financial industry underpeforms the S&P500 on an annualised basis. Daily reminder that the vast majority of you should just be buying and holding the SPY, the Qs, and the MDY. Daily reminder that at the end of every month or ever 3 months you should be popping some of your savings into that portfolio.
VBR, SCHA are both up well over 30% in the last year and you're telling me SPY is kept up by large market cap? MDY, spy's midcap etf is up 40% in the last year as well. this is just factually incorrect
My 401k has some safe target ETF’s, but below is my investment account I use to personally pick stocks and ETF’s. I’m 24 IVV 35% TGT 29% APPL 19% V 7% MDY 4% SPMD 3%
Holding SPY, QQQ, MDY and SVXY calls into tomorrow.

From what I can tell, at least $85.8 Billion tracks the base version of this index through MDY, IVOO, and IJH. GME is replacing WRI which currently makes up 0.16% of IVOO. 0.16% of $85.8 billion is $137 million. GME's current market cap is $12.82 Billion. 137 Million / 12.82 Billion = 0.01. So, at least 1% of the market cap will have to be bought by just those ETFs. I couldn't easily find if there are any mutual funds tracking the index, or if the S&P 400 growth or value index will buy it either. So it could be significantly more than that.
The Russell has been sideways since February. MDY, SP600 and IWC have all done the same. Mid and small caps have definitely been struggling.

Out of curiosity I looked into that, SPMD is an open-ended fund and they actively lend out their securities (to shorts, etc), while MDY is a unit investment trust, which has a few slight differences, but they don't lend out their securities. So I wonder if the 0.05% vs. 0.23% ER is related to how much they make from shorter's borrowing fees.
SPMD and MDY are the same but SPMD expenses are 4.6 times lower. That's strange because both are from the same company.
You could go short MGK? There's also QQXT - Nasdaq 100 Ex-Technology Index Fund SPXT - S&P 500 EX-Technology ETF SPMD - S&P 400 Mid Cap ETF MDY - S&P 400 Mid Cap Index Fund

I have the bulk of my $ in MDY. Slightly better long term thanSPY.
