> indexes like QQQ who will have to buy it One of those situations where terminology, even if nitpicky, is SO important. **Indexes** don't have to BUY anything. Indexes just have to "include" a new company. Index **funds** have to buy shares ... **eventually**. Depending on their OWN policies, they may only have to rebalance every three months, or within N days/weeks of an index change, or some such. "You cannot buy an index." <-- fundamental concept for new investors. It's just a "recipe".
QQQ up bigly AH Also: Not buying the top in a bull run is the same as hating money. This is financial advice
Bitcoin is just a hyper-volatile proxy for the NASDAQ. Just buy QQQ and leverage it with margin, same outcome - actually, more stable outcome.
Just need AVGO to pump hard tomorrow after Earning, then sky is the limit for QQQ.
Sir why are we shorting the QQQ and going long consumer? People are poor, the only money is coming from capex
oh good we didn't get a QQQ ATH in 4 hours, glad to get that little dry spell out of the way right at close
QQQ only 13 points behind SPY. So close to surpassing it, maybe EOW
I hate you QQQ never touching options with that shit again (I’ll probably try again later this week)
I know that if I cut my loses on these Fri QQQ puts it's gonna dump AH. Bought em at the 745 high of yesterday, averaged down at today's 745, and just getting theta'd out.
MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, GOOGL, META, NFLX, and entire SaaS sector all red while AAPL and semis keeping QQQ green 🤣
I hate you QQQ. Selling my calls for a slight loss idc anymore
come on QQQ, pump to 750!
The multiple is based on the mechanical pressure OP is talking about. Even if the shares aren't on the market immediately, eventually they will be. It's incredibly likely SpaceX goes on a 6 month-2 year green streak, just depending on how fast shares hit the market. QQQ managers want to capitalize on the near certain outsized gains. It's actually a good strategy, but it definitely seems corrupt on the surface.
Keep climbing QQQ, you're almost there!!
QQQ getting real power right now yippee!!!
Some shit is about to go down (SPY/QQQ)
True and it's a forced pump because QQQ has to buy it first. Would be funny though if it started to crater immediately.
The multiplier only affects QQQ, SP500 does not have a multiplier. That’s the first thing to have in mind. My numbers where for sp500. You are correct, this it’s not gonna be a big thing. People are way over blowing it. It is true its bad, mainly because the rules changing will (probably) lead to underpeformance mainly because ipo tend to inderperformed in the first few years. But it is kot that big of an issue and def not worth selling and paying taxes. I think btw how much equity is locked in the first 6 months (or even more not sure abiut that) has to be disclouse. So you can search how much they couod dump. But yeah, it’s not that big of a percentage
You seem like a reasonable educated person, can you tell me where/if I'm wrong below? Just trying to think through this. I've been hearing about a 3x weighted multiplier, assuming that happens along with the 5% float on a $1.75 trillion valuation SpaceX will have a $262.5 billion market cap (5% float x 3 x 1.75T). The Nasdaq-100 current market cap is about $31.5 trillion, so SpaceX would represent .83% which sounds small but would make it the 20th or so largest holding within the index. This still seems pretty insignificant. Assuming all insider shares are fully released after 180 days and SpaceX stock price subsequently plummets this still doesn't seem like a massive hit to anyone's 401k even if you only hold QQQ? To me, this does seem to be a dangerous precedent to set especially as other company's like Anthropic and OpenAI look to follow suit and worth monitoring
Actually alot of big firms like Citadel and Millenium plan to short the hell out of this stock AFTER it got adopted into QQQ which will be forced to buy it first.
Its no longer QQQ and chill, its now DRAM and chill
I bought more Berkshire Hathaway B yesterday. It's a newer position for me that I've been buying under $470. I tend to think the stock is working off the Warren B premium and it is a much better buy for a US equity position in my port than $VTI, $SPY, and $QQQ.
Why are you against the QQQ? lmao
I did this in 2020 and everybody was barking at me saying I should just buy QQQ I turned 20 grand into 300 K in four years

I don't touch my QQQ or SPY.
The evaluation of your portfolio is unaffected. Space X will be absurdly diluted in any index fund like VOO or QQQ. People pulling out are doing so because they philosophically disagree with a figure as controversial as Elon Musk seemingly using his political connects to pass the rule changes that allows him to automatically raise $1.75 trillion for his company without having the profits to justify that.
If you're holding SPCE bags, you should be banned from single stock trading and only allowed to buy SPY/QQQ for your own good you fucking momos
SPY just waiting for QQQ to catch up so they are the same exactly the same number.
I believe that QQQ will over weight SpaceX while VOO will stick to the actual free float market cap weight. So I feel fine holding VOO or any other fund that follows that methodology.
SpaceX isn't part of the S&P500, it's not even public. They will be traded on Nasdaq and likely be included in QQQ *eventually*, but that index is only reconstituted (companies added/removed) once a year. Also, selling a broad market index fund because you don't like a single potential component is just... dumb. There's no reason to do that.
Just need 747 QQQ and I'll be super happy today
Like I'm not asking for a crash. Just a -1% day on QQQ for crying out loud.

Yes QQQ will be worth more than SPY by the end of the year
Imagine QQQ overtakes SPY
QQQ uppies regardless sorry folks
I bought 3000 shares at $4.03 average last year. Sat on them. I had several calls that I should have sold in September, but I'm dumb so I held until November. I have 50 $7C for January 2027. I hope this skyrockets so I can unload them and blow my money on real shit, like SPY and QQQ 0DTE bets.
QQQ back at ATH with no news and low volume. Super strange markets we’re in.
What if SPY and QQQ kissed 👉👈
2 more weeks like this and QQQ will overtake SPY
The bottoming tails on the 5min QQQ chart are impressive. Every dip bought back up.
QQQ EOD what yall think?
bag holder by choice, much better than QQQ
Keep it going QQQ, never let them keep you pinned to the ground!!
They're trying to hold you down QQQ but don't let them!!!
This isn't correct because it also uses the float to calculate how much to include. SpaceX will have about the same relevance as DoorDash does to the S&P, at least initially. It is annoying to see rules changed, but it would also be a bit silly to have the S&P 500, which is supposed to be the 500 leading companies, not include a stock with a 1T+ market cap. Same with QQQ. The Money Stuff podcast last week explained it well.
QQQ does NOT want to stay down, 747 by lunchtime?
SPY would be the index fund to benchmark against, not QQQ. Also the small portion of my active portfolio I'm doing this with is up like 60% YTD. It's outperforming so much it's dragging the rest of my (mostly passive SPY) portfolio up. Reading comprehension, dude.
You know QQQ is up 20% ytd right? You took unnecessary risk and wasted your time/ stressed yourself out, to perform the same as index funds?
QQQ back to business as usual
Oh boy my favorite. QQQ is taking off while SPY remains stuck in place! I love betting on the wrong tech heavy index!

Buying 1DTE QQQ calls and GOOGL leaps around noon.
tbd. afaik, they haven't adjusted the rules yet, but they are considering it. it will likely be in QQQ unless something crazy happens in the first few days of trading based on the new rules.
All calls all balls to Labor Day. Today is a “buy 1DTE QQQ calls at noon, sell half at 3, let half ride to the gap up tomorrow” kinda day. Put on your boat shoes, matey.
Park the money somewhere safe that makes some interest for you - a high yield savings account (HYSA) linked to your brokerage account. You can also part it in several T-Bill funds that will provide interest but that are still relatively liquid like SWVXX but there are others. Invest it slowly over a year or 2 every week or month into a low cost fund like VOO/SPY (for SP500) or if you can tolerate more risk QQQ or QQQM for NASDAQ100 (though it could be volatile with several huge tech IPO hitting). Or some split between the 2. You can be fancy and buy VOO/SPY that tends to be more stable as a default but if its a down day in the market buy QQQ since NASDAQ tents to fluctuate more and some feel that QQQ gives them a little more swing upward when the markets are inevitably up when you retire in several decades. Best to setup an automated investment system. In general the key is automation with several smaller contributions over time to spread the risk and low cost funds to get the historical long term annual return of 10% the market provides over decades. Have faith in the long term market returns and don't sell on any short term fears or market concerns. Often the most difficult part is to remove emotion from your investing (easier said than done).
Yeah man I trade leaps and I don’t set stop losses. Mostly because my leaps are on SPY and QQQ and current admin will never tank the market
> immediately I thought it was 6 months for the S&P500 and 15 days for the Nasdaq 100. 15 days isn’t very much, but the QQQ buyers may actually be interested.
VOO AND QQQ dead flat
I exited QQQ because of how reckless there actions are in including an overhyped piece of junk SPCX
Haha QQQ was down like $6 when I went to bed, of course it's green now.
Yup exactly, when call skew is high some interesting opportunities arise. Call skew in QQQ is currently quite noticeable as well. Selling 0.05 delta puts on SNDK can be interesting, but not a strategy I would apply myself.
what is your interpretation of "safest" - if that means "growing fastest" just invest in. QQQ or MAG7 companies directly. If what you want is more defensive strength and more resistance against drawdown, you want to focus on companies with "fortress balance sheets" and low debt-to-asset and debt-to-revenue ratios. For that type of profile you'd want to look at companies like CAT (Caterpillar) and TT (Trane Technologies). If you're interested in "defensive" as a expression of deep value stocks Id focus on a fund like WAGN.
There is no top. This can climb forever in nominal terms. The rich are hedging against a dying dollar. The lower its value, the higher the valuations go, until QQQ is at $1,500 and a loaf of bread is $100. By then, they will have already cashed out into real-world assets.
yup, QQQ calls every day, who needs a job.
If SpaceX takes 5% of QQQ and drops 40% it drops the QQQ 2 or 3 percent. (Big deal) If AI fails QQQ drops 40% in a month. That's a big deal.
ETFs on the broadmarket like VOO if you believe US companies will keep existing or QQQ if you believe technology is part of the future. Very sensible bets actually. The ETF part is important because they will get rid of the bad companies and let in the good ones
S&P 500 & QQQ made new ATH’s today yet not one Mag 7 stock did. In fact, 5 of them closed below their 5, 10 & 20 DMA & 8 EMA.
if VOO or VTI are your baseline, QQQ is definitely high-risk. it has done incredibly well over the past 10 years, but that was at the cost of higher risk. i wish i had been in it.
Gonna give one of those non-ber tips that I'll say exactly one time. Buy Google tomorrow, especially if it dips harder. Quarterly ETF rebalancing is coming up EoM. This means the major market-weighted ETFs (SPY, QQQ, VOO, VTI, etc) have to buy and sell shares to make the ETFs reflect the new market caps. Last time this happened was in March, and Google's gained damn near a trillion dollars in market cap since then (Rank 4 at $3.6t -> Rank 2 at $4.5t). This means all of the ETFs are going to *have* to buy a fuckload of Google stock, starting around the third Friday of the month. Google knows this, which is why they're diluting now. Do the smart thing here, or dump your money into a dog-ass stock like SPCE, idfk
I wouldn’t say so. Historically backtested, even including the dotcom bubble the most efficient leverage on QQQ has been 2x not 1x. On SP500 it is 3x. TQQQ exceeds this for QQQ in the efficient frontier for leverage but it has worked well for the regimes past the dotcom bubble (even including GFC) So the answer is: it depends. For buy and hold, QLD is the best choice. For a strategy like 200SMA, TQQQ would be the better choice.
I made a ton on MDB and SKM today. Erect for tomorrow, I bought QQQ puts
This was me on BABA. Best decision to cut 80% of my shares at hefty losses. Reinvested in QQQ and made it back and more.
dont buy QQQ if you want to not be over exposed to mega caps. Dont get me wrong the rules chaging is bullshit and shouldnt happen, lets not pretend there arent options. If you were a person concern about mega caps being overvalue you wouldnt be into QQQ and the people that are didnt knew IPO have a waiting period until these news
