Yeah but in what? Liquidity doesn't just go everywhere. SPY and QQQ will shit. Some stocks will moon, some commodities. I'm gonna stay in defense stocks, metals, and keep about half cash and buy shit when it goes way down.
I’ve thought about giving up countless times! Why go through with this and face constant disappointments? I can just put everything on SPY or QQQ was my constant thinking. But I want to set a good example for my kids about not giving up on your goals. I also don’t want to look back at my life and ask what if I never gave up. What would my life be like? Just be patient and focus on risk management and executing your trades I would highly suggest reading and listening to Mark Douglas. Read The Disciplined Trader and Trading in the Zone. Watch his seminars on Youtube. He was the big difference in the shift in my mindset.
60% VOO and 40% QQQ until retirement then reevaluate.
There’s nothing wrong with investing everything into ETFs, you’ll almost certainly make a very large sum of money especially with such a long timespan. When people invest in other ETFs like QQQ or even individual stocks, it’s because they believe the higher gains outweigh the higher risks, for a personal example, I am up 80% on Google in the span of last year, versus my ETF position which was only up 22%, I made significantly more on my individual position in Google than I did in my ETFs. Does that mean though that I went all in on individual stocks now though? Not at all, it took a lot of time researching the position, and I find myself investing more in ETFs as I gain more and more wealth, it’s just an easier way to do it.
VOO and VTI are practically the same thing. You aren't achieving any diversity. Both will go up and down at the same time. [https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VOO,VTI](https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VOO,VTI) Being super young with a long term time horizon why not buy the nasdaq. VOO or VTI plus QQQ or the vanguard equivalent if that is what you like.
I prefer growth or momentum ETFs over QQQ. If this is a tax-advantaged account, I would gradually trim the QQQ and split it between growth, momentum, and value funds. My current US factor tilts are VUG, SPMO, and CGDV at 8% each.
QQQ really made theta gang great again since Oct 2025. lmao
Stick to like 75 to 80% VOO, maybe venture into things like QQQ or SMH.
QQQ flatter than Angelina Jolie in the 90s
Yeah it was odd. I was sure that low at 1:30PM was going to turn into an intraday high given how calm the VIX was. QQQ 628 was a big resistance level in early/mid December and it looks like we've bounced off it yet again. On a positive note, we've had considerably higher lows since November so hopefully we can clear the 628 this week
Looks like another QQQ calls at open day.
Shifting some of your silver into stocks like VOO is a smart move. Silver is volatile, lacks dividends, and can be harder to liquidate, while VOO offers steady long-term growth and dividends. A 20% return in VOO is realistic, and reallocating $500 from silver could boost your portfolio without fully abandoning the hedge silver provides. Strategy: Move a small portion (e.g., $500) into VOO to diversify and capture stock market growth. Consider adding other funds like VTI or QQQ for more exposure.
I bought a QQQ $595 leap 3 months ago and it’s only up 4%. Thinking I should sell and buy shares at this point. Only reason I keep holding is I expect a short term spike when fed chair gets replaced.
my QQQ shorts are fucking Market-Makers hard, 😆😆😆
Today was supposed to be tech day and yet QQQ rejected where it needed to reject. Bad look. Plus AI nuclear looks dead, you can sell them all to hades apparently.
If it were me, I’d stick with ETFs for now. At your age the biggest win is building the habit and letting compounding do the work, not trying to pick the right stock early. Broad stuff like VTI or VOO is already plenty versatile, you’re owning thousands of companies and the winners naturally become a bigger part of the index anyway. If you want a bit more spice, something like a small tilt to QQQ or a small cap ETF is fine, but I wouldn’t rush into individual stocks yet. Stocks are better once you actually enjoy researching them and can handle being wrong without panicking. Until then, simple ETFs plus regular contributions will probably beat most clever moves over the next decade.

After SIX years in the stock market, I have come to understand one important thing. *Never buy stock options only buy QQQ or SPY** - Literally free money.
I’m genuinely surprised about how long QQQ can stay overbought
I speak to numerous people on the investing topic and I see a significant number comfortable with others advising them and not investing much effort in it themselves. It can certainly work if you do get really good advisors and you have many years until retirement. Personally, I have gotten very poor advice from the professionals and seen them lose the majority of a sizable portfolio. My base case is it is not worth paying much for anyone who does not beat the gain in the SPY or QQQ net of their fees, otherwise, why would I not simply by the SPY or QQQ and let it do the work. I actually trade the TQQQ a lot and park cash there regularly. While the past 2 years have been exceptional, the TQQQ is up over 60% in the past year. My view is what are fund managers really doing with the money they manage??? I fully expect they may well own positions they show in the accounts of their customers, but many also suggest 10-20% in cash and I tend to expect they are investing those dollars and just hoping they do not get requests for more redemptions/withdrawals than they can easily meet. That is the definition of banking and financial institutions. You can quickly work through even a small firm with a few hundred million in investment clients, how much money can be made on the "cash" resources. This is all exclusive of fees. I have asked many friends who have "great" years with their managed portfolios if they are beating the S&P index and have never gotten anyone saying they have. I will caveat this by saying these are not people who have premium private banking advisors at Fidelity or anything like that. These are people with $10M or less in the market.
Those are fine. Just put your cash into VOO or SPY. Maybe a bit into QQQ or an S&P 100 if you want a bit more risk.
.30 cents QQQ I got a meeting in 30 minutes give me .30 more cent so I can bail before then
Kept shorting QQQ at 627.4, end is near.
To that guy who wanted QQQ at 616, hope you're safe.
All you had to do this week was place QQQ calls, you all did that, right?
i have 60% on VOO/QQQ to not lose my mind, and 40% concentrated in max 3 potential moonshots: if one does it in a couple of years, i cheer, sell take my time and study for the next one. Working fine by me.
RSI on QQQ is crazy, which is why puts don’t make sense because stonks only go up, am no longer regarded, thank you for reading my thesis.
NVDA and Microsoft are a massive chunk of QQQ and mooning
Oh shittttt QQQ is about to cummmmmm
Oh shittttttt QQQ is about to cuuuummmmmmm
Always check SPY/QQQ first because fighting the overall trend is how you get caught holding perfect technical setups that just bleed out anyway. If the indexes look toppy I'll either pass completely or go way lighter on position size even if the individual name looks clean, because that rising tide lifts all boats thing works both ways when it reverses.
Gonna buy QQQ puts here because I’m a glutton for punishment.
One more short QQQ at 626.3; I think the intraday TOP is in.
I raised cash and trimmed DIA, SPY and QQQ. Not sure how Europe responds to US aggression, they can't really respond militarily, but I can see them responding economically. Interesting times.
Let’s go, let’s get to that violent melt up to double top/fake breakout on QQQ so we can get into the bear market.
QQQ up only .37% but it's an important one because we are headed to 630 tomorrow
we are up $2.5 on QQQ lmao
And QQQ’s back to mooning lmao I’m out two big instant drops in one day. I’m left so much profit on the table but this is too much nonsense for me today
Continue to short QQQ at 625.6, what a squeej; but it will end soon.
I’m glad we finally decided to cancel the recession, no more recession today please my QQQ calls need about $2 before they are ITM
Not 1 red candle on QQQ with terrible JOLTS #s lmao
Mark and Tim’s cuck stocks holding SPY and QQQ back from some frothy 1-2% gainers right now. Someone people remind them that people want stocks to go up, not down.
Continue to short QQQ at 624.7, overbought stuff.
QQQ still $13 off ATH while SPY is at ATH. Means we got a lot of room to shoot upwards still, very concerning for ber
You would have double that if you just invested in QQQ
So QQQ at the absolute tip of the wedge, we’re about to break one way or the other. Given we’re in an uptrend of more likely to be a downward break but fuck knows is the market, and we still haven’t had the face ripping melt up that happens at the end of a bubble sooooo 🤷♂️ Calls it is.
Guys are we feeling QQQ calls or puts ?
I am selling QQQ and TSLA puts for pennies, please don't crash.
When I feel a pullback coming, I buy QQQ puts as insurance, since my portfolio is tech heavy. I am going to buy some today for 2-3 months out.
Great, the instant I buy QQQ calls, it decides to go down pre market.
🥭 talking today? Dementia grandpa flakes out QQQ hard
Thank you for your response. The expense ratio of QQQ was off putting for me. I looked it up again and it appears Invesco is reducing it from 0.2% to 0.18%, but the expense ratio of VTI is currently 0.03%. I would have to do some calculations of whether an annual return of 3-4% higher than VTI would be worth it when the expense ratio increases by 0.15%. Off the top of my head I think it would not, but Excel will have the answer.
Just for curiosity, why not also you picked something like QQQ. Maybe a small portion of your portfolio, as it helps in giving an additional alpha. If you see QQQ returns over the longer horizon, it's around 17-18% which is not bad I believe. Well if you are conservative or don't wanna take much risk, current ETF is good for long term. But I would say, diversify into stable yet high growth instruments like QQQ, even if it would be small portion of your total portfolio.
Hey brother, I just want to let you know you're not alone down there in that deep dark hole. I'm up top here and I can see you down there. I'm gonna shine some light down on some places where you can put your hands and feet. So you can climb and get out of that hole. This is not guaranteed but this is what I would do if I needed to climb out of that hole. If i had that $200, I'd do this. For $QQQ if you buy one $2.xx at the money call option for Monday expiration. You can usually catch a nice gap-up of 2 to 3 points over the weekend from Friday close. Then be ready with a MARKET order STC, Sell To Close and sell within the first 60 seconds of the opening bell. You need to be ready and not distracted and you can lose lots of gaines in seconds with the volatility. Make sure you are watching the minute candle sticks chat on another screen, once opening bell rings, wait for green to end and wait for the first red candle and look away, press sell and make profit. You can look this pattern up by asking Chad. GPT for the Friday, close to the Monday, opening and Monday, opening intraday, high. Or you can just go to finance thought. yahoo.com and look up the historical charts with the date range. And you can see for yourself. Do that and then save the money. And then repeat the next week. And you should be able to buy double, but just be ready to sell right away or be ready to wait for each time zone pop in case you need to preserve capital. Because there was no gap up over the weekend. I'm not guaranteeing anything here. But this is a plan that I use and I'm 70% successful most of the time. DM me for receipts if you need them. The only reason I'm not successful with other times is usually because I'm greedy and I don't take profit right away or they're no gap up or recovery through-out the 390 candles I stare at all day. I hope this helps you climb out of that dark hole. ***I wouldn't do it this Friday to Monday (I am but im dumb). Since the last few "first trading day after CES" is usually not that great of an odd of a gap up. At least for the last few years if you look at historical charts. But usually every other Friday to Monday cycle like described above has good odds but nothing is guaranteed.
I feel like we are going to rip upwards. We needed a catalyst to move forward and I think the US deposing Maduro is what was needed to break this 3 month range bound on QQQ.
QQQ just chilling here then will crater at some point overnight or at open
If I did stocks I would pick MSFT, AMZN, NVDA and PLTR but I like VOO and QQQ. For 20 years I would go VOO but keep in mind IGV should do well and also AI energy companies should move in 2026.
Not a company and Index, QQQ, or QQQM or SCHG all about the same in growth. Probably the best bet over 20 years
Incorrect. If what you are saying was true why is QQQ up 20% since the tariffs started?
Trump sucks, this is still not a smart play IMO. Im bearish and have QQQ leap puts into 2027, but I wouldn’t bet on significant downward movement in SPY in <30 days
Putting $10/week into VOO and QQQ as a “baseline” beyond normal investments. Not 27 a day, but it’s something.
Okay $QQQ was showing the same thing as $SPY for a second there
Trying to pin down a five year outcome for something as concentrated as QQQ is basically an exercise in scenario building, not forecasting. You can sketch ranges based on valuation, earnings growth, and rate assumptions, but the dispersion is huge as some of the replies here already show. One thing that helped me mentally was separating the money I was willing to subject to that uncertainty from the money I wanted to behave predictably. For the predictable bucket, I parked a portion in fixed annuity products offered by Gainbridge so I did not feel pressured to guess where tech multiples might land years from now. That made it easier to hold volatile assets like QQQ without constantly second guessing every macro headline.
QQQ feeling a little disconnected from its holdings. Is that the power of retirement accounts auto buying?
#In the last 9 years we had 7 years where SPY/QQQ rose about 20%. This will be the 8th such year in 10. LMAO🤌
I will be sheltering in place in the lobby of my local Del Taco until MSTR is removed from QQQ YOU HAVE HEARD MY DEMANDS https://preview.redd.it/hwqyb9mmqsbg1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c0b38d4c722c40c5f12a9287ea72761a5b3b8c9
