What is the reason for the discrepancy between PSQ and QQ last night?

Short the market, or buy bearish ETF's until the fed stops QT.
Possible to make money off buying both QQQ and PSQ, then selling covered calls on both?
I write code to collect and analyze data on trading by politicians. A couple weeks ago I posted about way out-of-the-money $QQQ put contracts bought by a US Senator. Today, another congressman disclosed a Jan. 14th purchase of $PSQ, an ETF that shorts QQQ.

If you are confident that QQQ will go down, you can buy PSQ instead of put.
I swear I answered this from my phone, did you see a reply? Well, I'll answer again; hopefully I'll say the same thing! Something is ALWAYS going up, even in a bear market; it's our job to find it. If nothing else, it'll be one of the 40 or so non-leveraged *inverse* ETFs out there. But I plan to just keep doing what I do: Watch my positions. When they roll over (I hope you know what I mean by that), find something else that's going up. That means screening all non-leveraged ETFs with options. Sort by 3-month performance. **Look at charts.** <-- this is so key; your eyes know a 'good' chart that's going up. Pick one(s) that's going up. Barchart makes all that so easy for me, but I do pay $20/month for Premium or whatever they call it. After sorting all optionable ETFs by 3-month performance, it's so quick to look through their charts on a 6-month view using their "Flipcharts" feature. Other sites may have something similar. I just commented to u/LabDaddy59 a couple days ago that the stock tickers he looks for (quantum computing, small reactors, plus whatever else), doing that, a person might go through a whole bear market and not even know there was one going on if they didn't pay attention to the news or track the indexes. A 2022-type market I'm sure some ETFs will always be going up. 2008-2009, I'm not so sure, unless you tap into the inverses. On the major indices you've got SH, MYY, SBB, PSQ, DOG, RWM, maybe some others. I didn't check for options on those. And if I just absolutely couldn't find an ETF that was going up "smoothly" (always my overriding criterion), then yes, I guess I'd go to cash for 3/5ths of the portfolio. Because I plan to always keep 20% in TLT (20y Treasuries), and 20% in GLD (unless maybe it goes into a long-term decline and selling CCs doesn't net a positive return). Does any of that make sense based on your experience?
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PSQ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PSQH) (“PublicSquare” or the “Company”) announced today that as part of the presentation at its virtual analyst and investor day on Thursday September 25, 2025 the Company will provide an update to its financial outlook for its Fintech business for the remainder of FY 2025, as well as for FY 2026. The Company also intends to discuss several updates on its digital assets strategy and Fintech initiatives.
Anyone eyeing PSQ Holdings?
Look at PSQ holdings, had the same as PEW with Trump jr on the board. Pumped before the merge then crashed to below $2. Still a lot of room to drop
The stock market is a key measure of strength for our country, and a measure of the confidence that worldwide investors have in us. The OP of this thread is an idiot who said he was putting 40% of his portfolio in PSQ… which is down 25% from its high… while the market went up 25% from the bottom on April 7. So he has cost himself 50% in just 3 months… because he thought he should be AGAINST America — which has historically been a completely boneheaded decision. I live amongst ‘average Americans’ and have 500 clients who I would describe as ‘average Americans’ and they are generally doing fine, good, or great. Bread is not $300 a loaf. In fact, I think I just paid about $3 for a loaf yesterday. The alarmism was stupid and wrong… and I mean *obviously* wrong.

What is PSQ? We feel really stuck! Cost of Living so high here! I think we are looking at a very short inflation - maybe already thru it - then, major depression spiral. Thanks to the felon! No I did not vote for Felon, but caught in crisis he has caused! Protests coming mid June. Watch youtube, std media too scared to show truth! Felon has thugs raiding restaurants, pulling people off streets. Do Not Believe Felon's lies. Antisemitism is NOT why he is terrorizing America. It is for money & Power.
It's a 3x leverage with daily reset. It's meant to trade quickly, not to bag hold. You should understand the Nasdaq, the companies that affect it, and possibly consider using a less leveraged ETF like SH for the S&P if you know it better or PSQ. You should basically only buy SQQQ/TQQQ if you either want higher exposure to smaller moves, or are willing to take a more significant risk if you believe there will be a definite reward. For example, I bought SQQQ today and it paid off. But tomorrow, if I see a trend towards the QQQs moving upward, I would sell and wait to rebuy until I anticipate another drop. It's easy to lose your shirt with 3x leverage so it requires you to be watching the market constantly. You shouldn't be holding any leveraged products like this for more than a few days at a time and it will decay your gains and amplify your losses.
Just be careful if you're gonna do the market volatility strategy and don't do it with leveraged puts/calls (volatility drag). PSQ and QQQ only. You gotta do it at very small limit numbers or there's a chance it won't work and you'll get stuck. I'm talking .10%-.20% ranges to be safe, maybe increasing up to .30%-.40% if you see a huge pattern of volatility. Practice with smaller amounts of money then gradually increase once you're comfortable. Get greedy and you get screwed - I learned that the hard way. I'm sure more serious stock traders have better strats but this is what's worked best for me as a casual day trader in the US market.
Cash gang here ready to go into PSQ
days like this I buy DOG, PSQ and TAIL
You’re gonna get killed by decay. PSQ is less exciting but you can hold it long term
my whole portfolio is pretty much a hedge at this point (US equities down to 10% and defensive) but specifically PSQ, TAIL, PFIX along with FXF, FXY, FXA
Gold, cash, international equity, SPDN, PSQ. I like lower risk “shorts” that dont get fucked by volatility
I'm in SH and PSQ c 104% is some real shit.
Before close, I bought SQQQ 58c 04/17, AAPL 170p 04/17, AFRM 33c 04/17, PSQ 46c 04/17, VIX 55c 04/17, BABA 97.5p, and PLTR 69p 04/17. wish me luck
PSQ calls are getting destroyed lol. Atleast I got a month
PE hasn’t reached pandemic or housing bubble lows. Short ETFs are the only way. SPDN, RWM, PSQ, LABD
Or they have the guts or acumen to buy inverse QQQ. (PSQ/SQQQ) I would tip-toe in if I were younger and more time to make up for a mistake.
I just went short on everything two days ago. SOXS, TSLS, PSQ, SH, DOG...loving it!
Long VXX/UVXY is a bit dangerous at this moment because its already elevated. Could it go to 60+? Maybe, but its likely to come down from here than continue up. I'm currently GLD/PSQ/Cash, waiting for some consistency to return before jumping back in.
SH and PSQ. I've had both for about a month. They also pay nice dividends.
My PSQ calls will print tomorrow.
PSQ is a QQQ short stock. Just buy some of that and you’ll be Gucci
PSQ is a QQQ Short share Enjoy
Just bought PSQ $39 put and $44 call lol here we go
PSQ, VXX, GLD will all do well if there's a crash.
PSQ and SH for those who wanna play but not go nuts
I traded my first bunch if options this week. Because I don't have experience I've been making very low stakes trades and often straddling. I've put up about 2k to tinker with and try to understand the science of it all as I read about strategy to pick moves and then read more about why my moves were dumb. Ive been getting my practice in on PSQ since it's pennies on the dollar compared to QQQ or SPY, and it's inverse so it's forcing me to spend extra time thinking about motives.
A couple of things you could do right now: Check your 401k and rebalance. If you're like a lot of Americans, it's probably 100% S&P and it's probably going to see a correction in the coming months so think about preserving capital. Cash is probably the safest place to park your money right now but if you feel like there will be a correction, you should look at inverse non-leveraged ETFs like SH and PSQ if you want to take advantage of the downtrend
I’m thinking the same. Might dump all my individual stocks and go into SQQQ for the day. Just don’t hold it long term. If you want long term, use PSQ instead.
Or buy an inverse no-leverage index like SH or PSQ. You won't lose money
Chinese stocks and boring stuff like PSQ (1x inverse index)
>Am I now over-hedged? Should I trim my PSQ so that I'm only holding $9k worth if I want to remain net neutral?? >Similarly, let's say the market keeps going up, and then my QQQ will have more market value than my PSQ. Do I then add to my PSQ to keep the hedge going or leave it alone? Yes, this is correct. If you want to maintain a perfect hedge, you will have to rebalance almost every day. Interestingly, this is similar to how leveraged ETFs have to rebalance after each day to maintain their daily leveraged exposure. Some questions that I think might guide your decision a little: Why do you think you need to hedge your QQQ? How bad will realizing your gain be? Will the fees of all this trading be less than the tax you'd have to pay if you realized your gains?
I made 3 PSQ scalps for gains but surprised we're taking high inflation as good for tech stonks
$500 to FFIE. 90% gone. $500 to Walgreens. 50% gone. $17,000 to Nvidia....at $151. Luckily I had plenty at much lower pricing but that dragged me down to $100 profit from $4800 profit. I think it's around profit of $1000 now. Soundhound - 26% on $1500. AMD -31% on $600. PSQ -34% on $550, from nearly doubled. No huge losses. Just small dumb ones.
I rebalanced the ol’tsp last week. %70 cash. Sold everything in Robinhood and bought PSQ and SQQQ after hours. Ready to check out this new ride.
What's the arugula on PSQ? Gamma comodulating or are we neck bridging a Ceres cap? (I have no idea what I'm doing but things go red and green for me sometimes)
I’m tossing a little something towards any and all companies anyone in his family has recently somehow become a board members of. PSQ took a massive surge for example.
I have the same / similar question. Traditional hedge or safety positions look like an outdated model. Gold, treasuries, drop when the markets drop. Bitcoin, too. Money market has been ok at > 4.5%, but where to go once those rates drop? I have some ‘short’ ETFs on my watchlist, but haven’t purchased yet (PSQ, for example)
Went 100% into PSQ(1x QQQ short). We are crashing next year probably
This, yep it’s interesting SQQQ or PSQ, ‘cause bonds or gold or any ‘traditional’ hedges are crap. + so far crypto is not a hedge
AFAIK, this sub doesn't care about the underlying; if it's an option on <whatever>, it's on-topic. BITI may or may not involve futures internally (I have no idea) but, from the outside, it's just an inverse ETF, like SH, PSQ, RWM, or whatever.
$PSQ up 273% what did I miss
Lol, that makes me feel better. Thanks. I'm still holding my KULR for now. Not so sure about PSQ, honestly I haven't looked at it.
Sold KULR and timed the buy of OPTT with a guuuh. Anyone looking at PSQ Holdings? Trump Jr on the board and its pumping
*$PSQH* - Trump Jr. to Join Board of patriotic online marketplace PSQ Holdings, Stock already up 82% pre-market "On Tuesday, PSQ Holdings Inc. experienced a significant 82% increase in its stock value following news that Donald Trump Jr. is set to join the board of the company, which owns the online marketplace PublicSquare. The anticipated board appointment, as reported by Bloomberg, has not been officially announced, and both PSQ Holdings and Trump Jr. have not commented on the matter."

I saw TECS, SSG, SQQQ and PSQ but none of them are AI focus, some tech, some semiconductor and some top 100 nasdaq
Keep an eye on sofi to average into while everything drops. 10c leaps are gonna slap. Continue to move my retirement into SH, PSQ, SQQQ, and SPY put leaps. Also sell CSPs on the stock you dumbfuks won't talk about at 20 and 15 strikes while buying more leaps at 20
Thanks, I looked into inverse ETFs like PSQ(x1) AND SQQQ(x2). What is the accuracy expectancy of inverse etf? I know they are rebalanced at the end of everyday but should the match the % swings of the underlining during the day? Most of the material that I came across say not to hold inverse etf as they are meant for intraday trading. But when I compare the charts(hourly) for them and the underlining during the day they don't match % wise.
A 16% market gain in a few weeks is an extreme example. If that amount of change happened over a year instead, then you would have been better off with a money market fund. Also PSQ has an almost 1% expense ratio, so it would eat up a lot of potential profits.
PSQ. Got in at 2.89. Good day. Took some profit
I've got a quick question about `PSQ`, `QID`, and `SQQQ`: when they say > While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe it is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. > > For any holding period other than a day, your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target. These differences may be significant. Smaller index gains/losses and higher index volatility contribute to returns worse than the Daily Target. Larger index gains/losses and lower index volatility contribute to returns better than the Daily Target. > > The more extreme these factors are, the more they occur together, and the longer your holding period while these factors apply, the more your return will tend to deviate. how are you supposed to hold funds for "one day" to get the advertised returns? Do they mean buying "on the open" then selling "on the close"? Vice-versa? Buying one open and selling the next? Buying one close and selling the next? Especially if you feel that the S&P 500 is going to tank for, say, 2 days or more consecutively — what's the right way to interact with these tools in that case?
Rddt is the only green stock in my portfolio. Also only stock in port. Good company or not holding selling CC on it. But I am also hold calls on FUBO PSQ ASTS so maybe don't listen to me.
The borrowing fee is not for capital, it's just for locating specific shares that you can claim. You incur the risk free rate by shorting those assets: QQQ + PSQ rebalanced daily would return the risk free rate minus management fees and transaction costs.
I've got $1k for afterhours fun. - 1-6 upvotes I'll buy QQQ. - 7+ upvotes $1k of TQQQ. - 1-6 downvotes 1x inverse QQQ (PSQ) - 7+ downvotes SQQQ I'll check back in about 10 minutes.
Lucked out that my bank transfer is taking forever and that I couldn't buy PSQ. Still not liking this, even with my 401k getting a temporary boost. THE VALUATION OF THE NASDAQ AND THE S&P 500 IS TOO DAMN HIGH. Be fucking efficient, markets.
Haven't reached that level of degen (yet). I think PSQ would be much safer than SQQQ. The Nasdaq's valuation is too damn high!
I bought PSQ calls yesterday, you are good.
If you all in PSY it will print my PSQ Puts at EOW
Very true. I held PSQ once to see what would happen and got smoked. Small position but decay ate it by 30% within 45 days or so. Crazy.
I don't know if I'd do it that way. But you can hedge. I do think we are due for a correction sometime in the next few years. But I'm not going to bet against the whole market. You see, there are people that get money each week and need to put it somewhere. Pension funds. 401K managers. Hedge funds. These people are getting money sent to them by clients each week and the money has to go somewhere. Right now the market still looks like a safe bet. Even if it does crash its going to come back up again in a few years. Those managers still think the market is a better place to put the money than other things, like bonds or Tbills. But if the market starts going south they might change it up for a few months. You can't time the market really. What I have done is buy some of the market short ETFS. PSQ, DOG, SH. They are regular shorts of the S&P, DOW, and Nasdaq. I feel safe holding them for a short time. I wouldn't hold the ultra shorts for very long though. If the market goes down, those short funds should go up. I then sell them for a profit. Then use that money to buy cheap stocks. I'm happy if the market goes up or down. I'm not an expert though. I'm just an investor trying to come up with new ideas.
SQQQ and PSQ to short the market. CIFR and CONL to take advantage of btc fever
There's not much decay in the 1x ETF's which is what I stick with. You can hold those things for months and months and not have to worry. Obviously you don't get the leverage but the tradeoff is no worries with decay. You just can't hold SQQQ very long at all that decay will start killing you. Check out PSQ it's a high volume 1x bear ETF for the nasdaq.
You could have bought $PSQ at $340/per share when all this crash talk first started. It's at $9 now. That's an easy guaranteed loss to help. Or you could have bought $SH at $190/per share and now you could have it at $12. That's another easy guaranteed loss over time. The more you lose, the more you get back on taxes. Let's keep promoting this fake crash and drag these inverse ETFs into max reverse split!
"Defense" can mean two different things: * Defense contractors, companies that make weapon systems for national defense. In which case I like XAR. * Defensive investments, like if you are anticipating a market crash. You can either go inverse, like PSQ is the inverse of QQQ, or use a hedge fund like RPAR, RLY or WTMF.
There's also short ETFs, like PSQ which inverts QQQ., with no expiry date.
Any non-leveraged inverse etf and its index. SPY and SH EUM and EEM PSQ and QQQ Etc. Just run a screener for inverse ETFs and filter out the leveraged ones.
$SH and $PSQ 
I know you said not options but I think a strategy like selling share covered calls or call credit spreads best fits what you’re looking for. There are 1x inverse etfs that don’t lever-up but I can’t vouch for the quality of any of them. $SH and $PSQ are the two I remember off the top of my head
If Cramer says that, it’s time for PSQ calls!
Did PSQ go ex-dividend? It looks like it would be about time for it to do so if there is one.
Money invested in QQQ is used to buy shares of companies in the NASDAQ 100, whenever those shares pay dividends it gets passed on to people holding shares of the ETF. Those companies just don't pay a lot of dividends, so you won't see a high dividend yield. Money invested in PSQ is held in US Treasuries and then derivatives are used to get the inverse return of QQQ. The treasuries pay higher dividends and that get passed on the PSQ holders.
They should be correlated -1:1 for a daily basis. So if you look on a one day chart they should be mirror images of each other, but over long periods of time compounding returns will mess up the correlation. Example: 15 days in a row where QQQ goes up 1% QQQ will be up 16.10% (1.01\^15=1.16097) PSQ will be down 13.99% (.99\^15=.86006) In 3 weeks they differ by over 2%, so over a whole year they would likely be way off.
PSQ SOXS you may just 1BX youre $10
PSQ short to QQQ Long, SH/SPY, etc....
If you have your account as marginable, which you have to, to short. The Margin equity covers your short sales. No out of pocket money/interest unless use all your Margin equity. It's actually like free money. I.e. QQQ long or PSQ short?
Just go 100% against Tech then. PSQ
Short the major indices, big corn and oil. PSQ, SH, BITI, DOG, SCO
Congress members are buying PSQ shorting the nasdaq Yall are buying calls? lol
