my QQQ opening price is set to be exactly where it closed at. Tough
We are in negative gamma zone, we gaped down overnight and this should push QQQ and SPY further down at open. Do I understand correctly?
If you liked QQQ above $720 you’ll love it at $300 soon
Blood red day, let's go for 2 percent down at least for QQQ
If QQQ drop to 700 i be pissed 😩😩
These tech QQQ dips are violent constant 1-2% down within a few min candles then healing throughout the day. So annoying.
I moved fully to cash monday and started shorting the market Monday EOD. We’ll see how far it goes down. I’m expecting the QQQ to go all the way back down to 600 and change
QQQ seems to trip and stall out at every $5 interval. I don’t recall it being so painful to trade in the past.
There is a gap on the 5 min charts at QQQ $715.5 from premarket so we will go up at open. Dont know if it lasts but we will fill that gap
Holy shit QQQ is being rugged
I’ve been in puts for months. I’ve been getting destroyed. I am the bear you’ve all been laughing at. This week I had finally been green, good tendies. Sold my oil calls and QQQ puts yesterday and flipped to calls. “After a decade of trading I’ve finally learned my lesson” I said. Dead on open.
So the KOSPI pumps nearly 7%, while the American market, which was deep green just a couple of hours ago, has completely dumped with no news in that time period. What a fucking joke. The price action this past week has been cancer. Pump and dump every single day since Friday. We’re about to have five straight red days for the QQQ. Garbage, suppressed, controlled price action from gay Wall Street. Well, at least the 🥭 secures generational wealth for the 10th time so far during his presidency through completely blatant insider trading. Pumping shitcos.
QQQ needs to cure cancer
So instead of holding my QQQ puts that would have now been heavily ITM, I switched to meta Meta is up while rest of world is down Kms
Let me do -2% QQQ -1% SPY EOD
QQQ and SPY took a laxative this week
QQQ wasn’t even QQQ back then. It was QQQQ aka “Quad Q” or “The Q’s”.
kospi +6% and back to highs, erasing all losses. btc up big, gold up big. meanwhile QQQ making new lows and -0,4% ?
The point is not to have it in something like QQQ so you avoid a situation where you need at a time when the market tanks. It’s up to risk tolerance but I don’t consider my investments part of my emergency fund.
If you don’t think we’re in a kangaroo market just look at QQQ YTD LMAO
I guess I have a higher risk tolerance. QQQ is liquid and can be accessed within a business day
Yawn, another day of QQQ green in premarket before another inevitable red day.
thought QQQ will go back to ATH. got brent back to ATH instead
Why are people saying it’s a red day - just checked QQQ up 0.4% and SPY up 0.1% futures
Potential crash aside, QQQ is a fund for active investors who want to pretend they're passive investing. It's only as popular as it is thanks to having a first mover advantage and the way GICS classifies sectors. People invest in it because it's a proxy for higher-beta US tech (to the point where platforms that don't want to pay the Nasdaq fees call it the 'Tech 100'), and it's fairly conventionally accepted wisdom in retail spaces to 'have 20%+ in QQQ for higher gains'. But it's not actually a purely market cap weighted tech fund. The Nasdaq-100 is actually one of two sister indexes, with the other one being their top 100 financial companies. So banks are excluded, but QQQ holders end up buying Walmart and Costco because they're Nasdaq-listed, and don't buy tech companies like Reddit that happen to be NYSE-listed. It's also not been purely market cap weighted since 1998, and weird things would happen if a single stock managed to exceed 25% of the total Nasdaq-100, or companies with individual weights of more than 4.5% exceed 48% of the index - QQQ would begin selling the offenders off. Then there's the abusive recent float adjustment rule and direct entry changes they made to bribe Musk into listing SpaceX. A company that lists on the Nasdaq at 5% float is now weighted as if it's 15%, QQQ holders are forced to compete for the in reality smaller pool of shares after just 15 days, and the insiders laugh all the way to the bank. VOO is legally classified as a 'diversified' fund, but QQQ is not. In theory, a dedicated US tech ETF would be a much cleaner and more honest semi-active high risk, high reward fund. The reason it doesn't exist is because the mainstream idea of 'tech' includes Amazon (tech by revenue, a low margin consumer cyclical by what they spend money on), Google and Meta (classified as 'communications' by GICS) and Tesla (a struggling car company with a massive speculative premium). If you use the industry-standard GICs rules like XLK does, you only end up with three of the Mag7 (Microsoft, Nvidia and Apple). If you buy another ETF for communications, you get saddled with Verizon. If you buy consumer cyclicals, you get Home Depot along with Amazon. If you buy one of those 'Mag7' ETFs, you're performance chasing and don't buy Broadcom (larger than two of the Mag7 currently). The Nasdaq happens to have all seven listed and most of the other big tech companies, so it's become the default. And big IPOs now have an easy way to harvest QQQ holders for liquidity thanks to the Nasdaq's conflict of interest as both an index provider directing a trillion dollars in other people's money, and an exchange with a vested interest in having those IPOs go to them and not the NYSE.
Why do you use QQQ over QQQM or IQQ? Lower expense ratios with the latter two.
what the fun in that :) I keep at least 50% of it in VOO/QQQ but I am still hopeful I can learn and beat it even if not by a lot
how clutch would it be if QQQ opened at 800 tmrw?
I like this little speculative startup called QQQ. It has potential, and it feels good to get in early.
Are we in 1999? No. Invest into QQQ. These are the best companies in the planet.
the complacency of redditors to full port QQQ/SPMO because it backtests well for the past 15 years is actually astounding
QQQ at 719 but you’d think we’d be at all time highs the way these bulls are acting🤣🤣🤣
That's exactly why QQQ was created at the time. To bait in exit liquidity. Because smart money already knew what was about to happen.
As someone who was alive and investing from the 90's onward, the dot com bust was brutal and I doubt anyone DCA'd into QQQ for 15 years. Tech stocks were so out of favor at that time nobody was bullish and especially those who got burned in the crash. Watching the money you put in with every paycheck be worth less a week later was relentless. The headlines were bearish, 9/11 was devastating. The market was closed almost two weeks. Imagine that. The last thing anyone was concerned about was how QQQ was doing. Bear markets wear you out. And then just when it looked like the market was getting some traction the GFC savaged everyone's retirement accounts again. Ugh. Sure, the eventual lesson is that things turn around. But retirees who were 100% stocks, or even 60% stocks, in 1999 had a pretty miserable time. Can it happen again? As someone who is now retired, it crosses my mind.....
I've owned QQQ since about a year or so after it opened and I'm up 1,700 %.
Give me a 3%+ QQQ day this week.
Man some of you are so risk averse. QQQ has doubled in the last 5 years. To get this kind of growth you need to accept some risk, including the occasional crash
After reading this, I have loaded 12 QQQ calls struck at 750 expiring Jan 2027

I like a diversified portfolio of 0-3 DTE QQQ options, extra diversified by selecting different far OTM strikes
The assumption is when the lockup expires the insiders will sell, the lunch lady will cash out and buy a house, bringing the price down. One the other side though is the index funds like QQQ have to buy SPCX in proportion to the amount of publicly traded shares, so when a lockup expires and more shares become publicly traded, the index funds are forced to buy proportionally more, bringing the price up. Not sure which one has the bigger impact.
Great discount on QQQ 718c 0dte
I almost convinced myself that QQQ calls look cheap.
I’ll confess something… I’d love to see a Shrek move in QQQ like the one we saw in MRNA today.
