Biggest issue is that you do not know enough to be picking individual stocks. Do you understand financial statements and metrics? What is your risk tolerance, investment goals, and time horizon? Do you know what to look for in a good investment? What are the risks associated with the investment? Is the business durable? Will you keep track of all new relevant information, including earnings, press releases, competitive threats, and regulatory changes? When to enter and exit a position? How to manage asset allocation and diversification? We could go on and on, but these are some basic things you should figure out first. Most professionals fail to beat the market. I would look in index funds. No work needed and higher probability of long term returns than individual stock picking If you want to pick stocks, it’s a never ending process of homework. You really have to enjoy it to keep up with everything and even if you do, you’ll probably underperform index funds like the VOO, VT or QQQ.

Right on lol Here's a good example of my stupidTrade™ for today. I also trade the Q's if tech is ripping. SPY is great because you can get a better sense of where its heading momentum wise because of the spy sector etfs, and also watch some big tech and the VIX, it's often easier to see what is happening with it than other issues, also it tends to only move a few points in whatever direction on a typical day. Anyway, 9:30 hits, the bell ring is always being played on CNBC, with everyone's buddy Cramer at the helm. At this point - yes this is retarded I know, I use the sound of the floor to judge bull or bear. That's right, the audio in the background of the exchange, the sound of all the traders and market makers and all that, are they happy? Do they sound pumped? Sounds like a crowd excited to see a great show or are they moaning and the tone is muted, dark in vibe. Anyway so QQQ dips, at this point I watch the bid/ask of the options. I go \*one level OOTM\* , it was trading at about 558.60 or so, option price was stabilizing around 1.14. Bought one at about 9:32 for $115, it ripped, to 2.30 by 10:00 (for some weird reason this chart doesn't show the correct high of the day?, but whatever, it's as of this writing $2.15 again. I saw it starting to lose steam, I bailed for a quick 100% gain, in less than a half hour. So sorry but yeah leaps, profitable as they are, are boring af lmao [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QQQ250717C00559000/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QQQ250717C00559000/) Hell shit I missed another rip writing this fucking post It could have tanked, if it had hit .90 cents I would have bailed and take the $25 loss. But here imho the potential upside was greater than the risk, why not take it? There's a whole trading day left to make back that $25 if I feel so butthurt about it!

The issue with comparing and contrasting to then is 2018 didn’t get into flash bear territory for the Nasdaq until part 2. If that index comes in noticeably in August, it’s not going to live up to April, me thinks. Most bearish case you can come up with is probably that this is a more subdued version of 2021, with US bigs having a hard time truly running with this go around in comparison to last year (while “fun stuff” rockets higher) since the S&P posted back to back +20% plus years and the Nasdaq truly does get hammered in 2026 to compare to 2022, but I probably wouldn’t favor it since QQQ, the S&P, and Dow all successfully backtested prior cycle ATH already. The doom cycle that’s more likely is probably a truly ramp up hard on too loose monetary policy deal.

HeiPando

559.20 on QQQ damn it.

BGM1988

If you zoom out till 1990, you will see that QQQ made a 800% gain between 1995-2000.This was greed and based on highly overvalued internet companies who made little profits.today nasdaq 100 is much better balanced between sectors. Also the mag7 companies also make good revenue, high nett profits and yearly growth what explains their high PE valuations. This also pushes up sp500 PE’s. So comparing today’s PE with 20 years ago and conclude we market is overpriced doesn’t make sence. The higher PE’s in growth companies will stay. But can a 50% drawdown happen again in the future? Yes it can, when we would have high valuations and a bear market starts together with some other world event,.. QQQ dropped -30% in 2020 covid crash, -34% in 2022 bear market,.. if something else would have tumbled down when QQQ sat at -30% more downside would be possible

TakeDeadAi

If you are not a full time investor, and you are NOT if you have another job, buy the QQQ with regular investments and you will outperform 80% of the professional money managers. At you age, never get discouraged. When the market pulls back you get the chance to buy in lower. Regular investments and time are you secrete weapons.

So much depends on what type of options model you’re trading, your DTEs and the underlying stock. I’m a bottom feeder in this sub as I day trade 1DTE SPY and QQQ options and my first TP is a 1:1 R:R with my SL, which is usually around 8-10%, then the next is double that and so on.

Well, they're still up compared to the start of today and markets are trying to go back to sleep. Unless TLT/QQQ flips back to a positive correlation where TLT down means QQQ down, the rates deal isn't really going to be that simple. US bigs can PROBABLY, PROBABLY handle a 5 handle on 10's if it isn't done in full on rocket man mode.  So yes, if rates stay controlled, even if going up, this would be bullish first, bearish later. And maybe they wouldn't stay controlled and too loose monetary policy doesn't get Trump what he wants for any period of time down the road, who knows!

asmit10

Anyone else see those massive 1 minute drops in real time? 7:54 and 8:16 on QQQ. I had bought calls at the bottom $556C 0dte at 7:09. Sold some at 7:30 and ended up getting completely out at 7:41 and buying puts at half size @ 7:35. I was already focusing on tomorrow and what I could do better, where I went wrong with my position sizing, etc. 7:48 comes around and I'm kicking myself knowing that i'm about to watch QQQ go up 0.5% and miss out on thousands of dollars I would have had if I kept my calls. (bad mindset and i'm simplifying, but you get the jist) Man did 7:54 give me hope. It really does go one of two ways. Either it's a false move seemingly caused by one market participant (a short getting covered, someone exiting a position, someone putting on a big trade, could literally be anything). Or...it's the sign of a big player making a big move about an impending change in the market. 8:12 had me worrying again a little bit, but I kept my puts knowing that I needed to wait for another higher low and higher high before admitting it was a false move. Ended up at 11 $554P 0dte @ $0.48 in at 7:35, sold at $0.93 - $1.95, out at 8:21 for an average of $1.36. I had made mistakes earlier in the day and didn't want to end up flat. Given the volatility of the VIX I know it can turn on a dime and I didn't want to be around for it. Though in a perfect world I think you wait to see if a lower low is made (as happened from 8:34-8:36)

Let me introduce you to a concept called "getting even" What you need to do now is throw another $500 in and dump it into 0DTE SPY or QQQ options. You're either going to get even or get even worse. This is financial advice

i have an idea for a company that i'd like to take public via spac: we invest entirely in QQQ. i think it's pretty disruptive if i do say so myself.

95Daphne

Yeah, we seem to be getting closer as in, we’ve had a few days pop up recently like this, but considering history after early 2023, I think I would say that the games truly don’t begin here until TLT down, QQQ down returns as a correlation consistently. That’s the inflation concerns correlation from parts of 2021 through 2022. The story for a good part of 2023 through 2025 for now at least has been large caps trying their best to dance to their own beat to whatever rates do.

Solid start tech-heavy but full of winners. I’d maybe dial back a bit on overlap (QQQ + MSFT, AAPL, NVDA) and consider adding financials or industrials for balance. Monthly DCA will go a long way!

I have 3 primary go-to’s: wheels (on underlyings where I am good being assigned), weekly low delta CSPs (for pocket change), and QQQ Leaps.

Whipitreelgud

Most of your money should be in ETFs like VOO and something like QQQ. Allocate 10-15% of your money to go into individual stocks of your choosing. Then decide what your win/loss strategy is. When do you bail on a stock when it's losing? What if it doubles in price? Do you sell half and let the rest roll or do you let it all hang out?

Slabbed1738

Vibrator in my ass feels good. Calls on QQQ!

Fun-Sundae4060

If you are risk-averse I would not recommend leverage. You can expect to stomach a drawdown of 50% of your invested assets sometime in the future should you choose to employ the 200SMA TQQQ strategy, but of course it comes with great reward to the risk. If you employ QQQ only with the hedges above you would expect to not lose more than 25-30% in a sustained drawdown.

Prudent-Corgi3793

IMO, the most aggressive I would recommend as part of a core position is an ETF like either VUG or SCHG (US large cap growth). They slant very heavily to "tech" (about 70% in information technology, communication services, and consumer cyclical), but they don't arbitrarily restrict themselves to one index or cut off an entire sector like the QQQ. There's also enough backtest data going back to 1972 justify that it's kept on pace with VOO and VTI (mostly due to recent outperformance), even if the academics suggest that you should be going for small/value.

Fun-Sundae4060

You should look into gold, managed futures, and treasury bonds for diversification across asset classes. If you are young you should only allocate a small percent of your portfolio to these. You can employ a TQQQ 200SMA strategy or just buy QQQ only instead of picking out individual stocks to reduce individual stock risk.

Prudent-Corgi3793

I'm bullish on those companies and on tech in general. But in theory, this is not supposed to represent higher uncompensated risk. They look great in hindsight, but that's survivorship bias. If you invested in the QQQ, you would have eaten an 82.4% drawdown from peak to trough with the tech bubble burst in 2003. After slowly recovering for 5 years, you would be back at a 75% drawdown after the great financial crisis, and you would not break even--even accounting for dividends--until 15 years later. If you invested in AMZN, you would have eaten an 93% drawdown from peak to trough and needed 10 years to get back to even. If you invested in MSFT, you would have eaten a relatively tamer 67% drawdown from peak to trough, but also needed 15 years to get back to even. Again, with hindsight, it's easy to assume these high-flyers will be on top forever. In 2000, the high-flying tech stocks were the Four Horsemen: Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, and Dell. - Microsoft is still near the top, but needed 15 years to get back on top: good on you if you held through. - Cisco is barely positive after 24 years. - Intel is still down about 46% from its peak about 25 years ago. - Dell went private in 2013, down about 75% from its peak. It's one thing to "diamond hands" if you know the stock will go up forever, but if you read any thread here, most "long-term investors" on Reddit can't even take a -1% drop for one day. One last thing--if you're working for a $2T market cap company, for the love of god, don't double down in the same company you're working for, since that's putting all your eggs int he same basket.

Cold-Operation-4974

50% QQQ and 50% TQQQ will most likely outperform that portfolio.

95Daphne

Yeah, there might be a negative reaction temporarily, but otherwise the risks of next year would just get pulled forward. Very possible that an overly dovish Fed could result in markets zooming higher, the only thing is, is it’s possible that the QQQ/TLT correlation could flip back to being fully positive with bonds selling off more consistently and block what’s clearly wanted overall here.

Fun-Sundae4060

When QQQ is above 200SMA you are clear to buy into TQQQ any time. It takes quite a while for 200SMA to get touched or crossed over in a sustained bull or bear market. The idea is you just ride the momentum but remain in a bullish position in both scenarios, just bullish with leverage when the market conditions are good.

gls2220

Looks fine but for a long term buy and hold you would have a greater margin of safety allocating some percentage to QQQ and SPY/VOO. And then, why not add a crypto sleeve as well?

floydguitarist

I trade SPY & QQQ with a small account. I Only focus on those 2 and am slowly gaining consistency

prozute

So right now QQQ is 555 but 200SMAk is 505. So wait until 200SMA catches up for QQQ falls, then buy QQQ, then once QQQ goes above 200SMA switch to TQQQ? Rinse repeat? I’m a 401k investor so very intrigued

Straight_Turnip7056

Thinking of saving mieself lot of time and stress, and simply get **SPYI** or **QQQI** ETF. 12-14% Div yield. What are the downsides? I know, the returns will be lower than SPY/QQQ in a "good" market, but it's going to be choppy waters from here on. So, best to get that 12% and sleep well, eh?

Legitimate_Newt9383

Okay dude I just have to say this. I feel like you’re the embodiment of my favorite quote. “Even if you’re not a Teacher, be a teacher.” So, I started training about 7-8 years ago, but moved into options in the last year and now exclusively only trade options. I have had a LOT of dumb luck, a good amount of wins from proper planning, and astronomical losses. Almost exclusively my losses come right after a win. I’ll make a really good 20-30% return off a day trade with super quick entries and exits. Almost immediately after that comes one of my biggest issues. Like a drug addict, I got my dopamine rush, now I feel lucky, now I make a trade without any planning (2 minutes isn’t planning) and boom! Buh bye cash. My thought out and planned wins have primarily been from Tesla, NVDA, Palantir, AMD, and occasionally SPY and QQQ. A lot of what carries weight when I make a decision on an options is what is actually going on with the company, with a fixation on opinion swaying relevant news. For instance, I had a good feeling based off my research on NVDA to at sometime in the near future they would get the OK go renewed in selling the H20 chips to China. Great 24 hour turn around at 110% on a call. I went back in to NVDA at the end of the day today specifically because of the CEO meetings with the Chinese tomorrow and I’m begging on a bullish response. I will also do this with failing companies due to political backlash. Enter Tesla. For the better part of the first quarter this year I would buy a short every time Elon posted something I knew he would get crucified for lol. Worked like a dream. The rest of my trades are based off a mixture of trying to find companies that are pretty undervalued, stocks that have large movement before or after earnings calls, IPOs that have established social recognition before launch, and I will sometimes bet on prices either reverting back or going up right after a major 1 day gain or loss. I try to only use this tactic with larger companies. Out of all the tactics I’ve used, the one I have the most success in is deciding what companies to trade options on based on the news. Also, 65% of my trades are with NVDA, AMD, Tesla, and meta. I trade them so much because I literally spend all day every day keeping up with what’s going on with the companies. I apologize for this probably unnecessarily long intro but I felt I needed to explain. Are my tactics founded? Have I just gotten lucky with the wins I have had using the mindset I just explained, or did I actually use good data to make my bets? Which ones are inconsistent? Which ones are pointless? Are there other things that hold more weight or give more indication than the methods I’m using? I learned my lesson with the get rich overnight stuff. Not worth it. I’m realistically looking to have a 18-21% weekly return. Maybe even that’s get rich talk expectations! I have no idea lol. I would love your wisdom!

Fun-Sundae4060

Basically you just buy TQQQ when it’s above the 200SMA of QQQ. You pull out and buy QQQ instead when it crosses below the 200SMA. In both scenarios you also need to hedge with gold, treasury bonds, and managed futures to reduce the effect of bear markets.

95Daphne

Tech's stood its ground very well on rates not coming off as much as many would've hoped for 3 years at this point, but I get the feeling, vibes wise, that we're threatening HARD to shift back to 10 year yield up tech stock down like the way 2021-2022 worked. For now, I'd lean towards there not being much to be worried about other than rolling over for a few weeks, but if we actually do flip back to TLT down, QQQ down working consistently, there would be some very real concern that it wouldn't be able to push forward like it typically does after it snaps back hard.
