QQQ

BlownCamaro

Yes, I sell OTM covered calls on EVERYTHING I have a long position in. I also day trade SQQQ and SDOW whenever the DOW30 or QQQ's hit a new high. It works.

Plus_Seesaw2023

Next time, make trades on QQQ and be cleaner in your entries? Try to make $200 to $1000 a day, but more properly?

zypher_melkor

Anyone going to do both calls/puts for Spy/QQQ on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday? Feel like that's the safest play.

OptimalPath94

This is why it’s important to diversify. By holding VTI you already own all the US small caps, and by adding VXUS you own the entire international market when the relation moves there too. Everyone buys VOO, SCHG, QQQ, VGT, SMH because you are all chasing past performance.

Stonkslifestyle

No problem! What I was gonna ask is what led you to take the plays that you did? If you want to share otherwise I get it. with 100% risk you must’ve been very confident in your put plays and was curious what made you look at those tickets vs the usual SPY, QQQ, NVDA plays we all see everyday

bagholdercapital

They trade until 4 (indices, SPY, and QQQ till 415) but they can be exercised until 8pm. If they’re ITM they’ll be exercised by the broker automatically.

Pin_ups

You would probably had more if you didn't start gambling on options, 3 yrs into SPY growth or QQQ would gave you equal growth to what you did now plus enjoying tax deferred opportunities. Now you are just back to zero with all the tax burden ahead and fees.

ButterscotchFew9855

I use uneven hedges. TQQQ, Soxs,Soxl,,QQQ, Spy,SpxlI wish Mag7 had volume that would be perfect one. Lately Soxs calls have been staying green while qqq and spy calls are also green. That's my que it's time to sell.

Wowmuchrya

I think if MSFT misses it won't matter what Meta or Apple do, the market will decide tech/the mag stocks will all miss and even if they slightly beat it will be considered a miss. If MSFT misses I'm probably gona full port QQQ puts because we'll be in for a bloodbath just like last week.

itsnotshade

Yup. I had avoided NVDA throughout most of this but started after it floater around 120. Made like 10k then lost 7k off it. I feel good about q3 earnings, but I’m sticking to QQQ.

RespectMyAuthoriteh

Try buying spreads instead to reduce your risk. That's what I do. For example, you can buy a 463/464 QQQ 0dte spread that's only a little out of the money for say .30, which is just $30/contract.

alpha247365

SPY 530, QQQ 450 likely. Either way, I’m sitting on LEAPS bought this week. Gunna double down should they go significantly lower from current levels.

NVDAismygod

Would suggest rotating your long QQQ shares into IWM for the next year. Keep the bull run in your portfolio going

MammothBites

Averaging down is how you blow up your account with 1 trade. $510 for QQQ is 10% away, not saying it can’t happen but time is not on your side. Not only do you need a huge move but you need it to be in a straight line with no breaks, otherwise time decay is going to be a killer.

drempaz

The market seems somewhat bullish, but I really can’t envision any MAG 7 having good earnings next week. QQQ puts seem reasonable, but then again, that means I must inverse

Fit_Combination6988

Would gambling everyday on QQQ 0DTEs substitute a valid career option? If I could get a 60% return on a 5k position once a day, I wouldn't need to work at all 

tmpha

I was actually looking at some past earning reports % change to find the historical changes when the stock would move the most and at which percentage to place my strike price on. I got lucky with Tesla doing Strangle on the recent run up, hedged it with some puts so sold my puts on the way down. I haven’t really tried Straddle before though, ao basically you have the same strike for both call and put right? From what I’ve noticed so fae though, most insane stock movements on earnings have been around 15-20% up/down. There were some outliers yesterday like DXCM coming down 40% or COUR up 45%. Wouldn’t a strangle at 10/15% both ways work out better for maximising the outcome seeing that earnings play are quite unpredictable so basically maximum $100/$1000 (just to limit exposure to amount that can be lost)? I’m planning to do 0DTE SPY and QQQ scalp for daily then just putting a bit into earnings on companies I think that options are still cheap and expect them to move a lot. Ford was around $0.38 when I bought in.

breakyourteethnow

I think earning's are coming in fine, it's the forward guidance which isn't being pumped like previous earning's, which foreshadow slowdown from some companies. If there's anybody with fat to trim it's big tech. I only trade options, double calendars through earning's and still not buying tech ETFs like SMH/XLK/QQQ

Individual-Sea-7777

Honestly since I was down from 4k, I took all my emotion out of the game and played the MACD and RSI on QQQ, followed it up and down yesterday, then went for round two doing the same on TQQQ puts today at the top. Got lucky twice

crazyyimmy

if i remember correctly, someone owes us his dick cut off for QQQ not finishing +3% from yesterday

Fit_Combination6988

I put 10k each on QQQ and SPY \~3months ago, got to about $400 profit on each, and then the pullback happened... I sold for even and made $0 on that in 3 months. This morning I bought 5k in QQQ puts and made 3k in an hour

QQQ was so much fun today. Love that chop action towards the end 

looool_k_libtard

Anyone still holding Microsoft, Google, meta, etc better be prepared for a reckoning of biblical proportions. Elon knows the deep state is embedded in them, sheltering the woke mind virus in their WOKE caves. As a cyber warrior, I am enlisted to fight alongside Elon, therefore I have 1 put opened against QQQ to crush these maggots. May they feel the strength of my put.

I think you're doing fine, except for the Russell investments, why not the QQQ or VOO, they far out perform the Russell.

Is it worth buying QQQ puts on Monday? I'm having 🌈 thoughts about tech earnings next week

ForestyGreen7

Long term go for broad market funds like VTI/VTSAX/SPY. If you have stomach for risk you can allocate a portion to something more aggressive like QQQ

spectral_fall

September Put positions QQQ $450, SPY $545, MMM $115

judgefriendlyhand

Dude, I sold my QQQ puts last Friday

ForestyGreen7

The portfolio of QQQ is extremely forward looking. If you have the time horizon and the appetite for risk, it's a good investment. You just have to be aware of the impact of downturns.

JayRoo83

5450 defended so I was forced to buy some SPY and QQQ ATM calls for next Friday to ride the wave up, hopefully we can get to 550-555 early in the week and I can go back to building out my 3x inverse ETFs

xCHETx

I am down $145000 in last 10 days and all because of META and me panicking with the crazy volatility. I could have saved 30000 if I had not panicked but that’s still a lot of loss. It’s hard for me to not worry but we can’t spoil our health and other good things over this. Take a break and think calmly what can be done to over come this loss. I went back to QQQ and playing safe and only with what I have.

GraceBoorFan

Hoping and praying for a power hour flush, NVDA to 109 and QQQ to 459 😫

We shed around 7 percent in April on the QQQ, this week over 9. We're going back uppies next week. 

wilhelm96

QQQ really gonna dump into a flat close?

nateccs

People have been buying stocks with borrowed money, in the hope of making a fast buck in a booming market. Margin debt had already risen 15% this year through the end of June. Doug Ramsey, chief investment officer at the Leuthold Group, a Minneapolis- based financial-planning company, notes that bullish speculation in the two most popular stock-market exchange-traded funds used for that purpose, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY and the Nasdaq 100 index fund Invesco QQQ Trust QQQ, recently reached extreme measures. "The speculation in these two ETFs, the bullish speculation, the call buying, exceeds anything that we saw at the peaks of 2018, pre-COVID, in 2020 and late '21-early '22," he said in a podcast this week. To give you an illustration: Margin debt at the end of June, when the S&P 500 was around 5,500, was 27% higher than it was at the lows in October last year, when the S&P 500 was at 4,200. Logically, if we're going to buy stocks aggressively on margin, we should be doing it more when they are down and less when they are up. Be fearful, record levels of greed.

YouHaveShitBreath

QQQ is going to close red somehow isn't it

thought we might be turning around so i got a QQQ weekly. just dumped it and donated 75$ to some algo probably. if we close below 460 bulls beware

Got a little too bold with a QQQ put and thinking of biting the bullet to sell before close and take the Robinhood 90 day restriction

teamyg

Someone bought 6 million shares of NVDA just before 1:30PM; then QQQ tanked. The average price was 114.3; it is a headline resistance now.

zxc123zxc123

IWM? This is WSB my youngins. I bought UWM in 2020 before the rip. Bought a few TNAs that got BTFO in 2021. Doubled down on both since 2022/23. Still adding in 24. The mistake most folks on WSB make is that they believe stocks always go up or mean revert: Did PYPL ever go back up to 2021 levels? How many of those 9999 SPACS did? Would TWTR be +$80 today if Elon didn't buy it? INTC was >$70 in 1999 and has never reached back to that price. How many folks really believe GME will go back to $500? But market indexes do eventually revert and do constantly go up (even giga-bubbles like Japan that took 40 years eventually hit new highs. China's SSE peaked in 2007 and only gone down since. Have fun baggies.) The Russell has been in a long underperformance against the SPY and will eventually balance out even if it could be years. Main thing it has going for it is that the SPY/QQQ have already gone beyond their 2021 ATHs meanwhile R2K is still below it. Safer bet to bet R2K in the long run since it is more likely it hits new ATHs than it is to hit new ATLs.

Rotate out of IWM rotate into QQQ

manualwho

You can use smart-beta exposure to mitigate the aggregate bias that is, cap weighted ETFs (SPY, QQQ). Equal weighted products are looking fairly compelling and their significant underperformance compared to the cap weight over the past several years highlights the case it can be a good time to rotate.

The day we drilled 3%, QQQ puts were up 4200%

---Right--Tackle---

Please show me the last time QQQ has a 3.5%+ single day drawdown where the correction was LESS than 10%. There is going to be a 20%+ correction aka bear market.

Free_Dimension_1170

QQQ gonna go below 460 or what

---Right--Tackle---

Get ready for market de-leveraging 2.0 next week when AAPL and other MAG7 shit. Another -3.5% day on QQQ coming right up.. These types of moves are multi sigma moves that don’t happen in bull markets, but at the start of BEAR markets Don’t say you weren’t warned baggies 

wowasg

ADynes

When QQQ spiked up near 463 I said I should buy some 7/29 558p. Like a gut feeling I get when I know I'm right but I don't have the balls to actually execute. I'm 100% know I'm going to regret not doing it.

Printer215

QQQ with the triple top butterfly spank pattern. get ur puts

wolfhound1793

Not particularly realistically. It was a 90 delta trade when I put it on, and QQQ was at \~405 so it is functionally a \~2.3x leveraged position. The long DTE allows me to treat it as equivalent to owning 100 shares with all of the perks and drawbacks of 2.3x leverage. My breakeven is still 436.31 which was a 7% rise just to break even. I entered the trade because I was confident that QQQ would be going up this year and next, and I've been correct, but it was still a pretty risky trade all things considered.
