It depends what THEIR goals and risk tolerance is. If they prefer safety, ladder some bonds or use a high yielding money market for a chunk of their assets. If they prefer steady income, set up an income portfolio for them. If they can tolerate risk and don’t need monthly income, but can handle a draw system, you can use my plan. With $2M, they can safely spend $80k (4%) per year as a starting point. I’d set aside 4-5x that in order to make sure they wouldn’t need to draw down from their equities during bear markets or crashes. So $400k in either laddered t-bills or a high yield savings or money market. Then the other 80% is invested in equities, namely VOO, or VTI with a small percentage in SPMO, QQQ or VGT, or any combination thereof. This will provide growth over time. You sell equities to replenish the 5 year cushion fund during flat or up years, and just draw down on it during years when the market is down, replenishing it when the market recovers. The beauty of the system is that over time, the 4% annual spending money increases with the performance of the market which should more than cover inflation. The potential drawbacks, it will require a more hands on approach to refund the slush account annually and could lose value if the market goes through an unlikely abnormally extended bear market lasting more than 5 years. But they have to be okay with the plan and taking that level of risk. Will they freak out if the market and thus the value of their portfolio drops 20-30%? Will you be able to handle that feeling in the pit of your stomach? We never know when a market correction or bear market will come or how long it will last. But history tells us that at some point it will. Just factor that into your decision making process
A lot of stocks are a hold rating rn for the short term. If NVDA breaks down I don't doubt a QQQ breakdown of sorts
After a market drop. Fear of boots on the ground seem like a good reason. We can TACO after and let the QQQ rally then
You're wrong. AI doesn't impact mining, dry goods manufacturing, and plenty of other industries. I'm whooping SPX and taking less risk. And still sitting on a ton of dry powder earning interest without risk or state taxes. And definitely not timing the market shorting QQQ, the insurance is my T Bills. OP asked for good suggestions. You do you!
Threat for boots on the ground, CPI PPI hot as fuck, SPX -4% till Thursday to hard reset everything about this shitty crab market Then semis rally and QQQ god pumb begins
And I'm saying that there are much less risky and still/possibly more profitable approaches. Shorting QQQ is straight up gambling. Going 20-50% T Bill (or sure, utility bonds or whatever) is a much better way to bet against QQQ without crazy risk or needing any research or knowledge. That said, OP basically asked if passive indexing AI is safe right now and or if there are better options. So I don't think there's anything wrong with suggesting "doing something else" by selecting well priced value stocks/dividend payers. There are plenty of small/medium dry food manufacturers, miners, shippers, cellular providers, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, extremely well priced BDCs, and plenty of other company's with high earnings and reasonable debt out there. If/when the AI bubble breaks these stocks will do significantly better than AI stocks, but if there's room for AI to run, you may miss out a bit short term. Obviously if you don't want to or aren't comfortable doing your own research, then stick to T bills and an ETF. But I'm avoiding overpriced and incestuous mega cap AI to reduce risk and doing great.
QQQ pumping. Tech bulls win again
There's a whole range of defense. Diversifying out of megacap AI into smaller profitable value companies is absolutely viable. When people pull out of speculative stocks many rotate into value. If you think "the entire market goes down" impacts all companies the same, you're very mistaken. Some of my best days are when QQQ trades down or sideways and people rotate to value.
We had 2 days of easy mode for QQQ last week and the market has been stinky poo poo ever since
I thought QQQ only goes up
QQQ is with Iran, won’t open the money printer until 2029
I can't help but be reminded of that 5 month tech sideways down price action from last year that culminated in the start of the Iran war before an explosive 35% move in QQQ in like a month Dow and S&P lagged QQQ all year last year and then caught up in the last couple months, grinding higher while QQQ corrected like 6 times, each one lower than the last We just hit our first lower top on QQQ for the season off of record earnings, yet again My conclusion is bitch out paperhands all the way and keep buying hard every time QQQ hits 10-12% below ATH
At some point, the software vs semis rug of war will result in QQQ going higher again right? Sure it won't just rotate crab for all of eternity right?
OPs point there is obviously weak but you guys fail to mention that the QQQ trailing P/E at the dotcom bubble peak was 200 compared to 30 when memory was at a peak in July. Yahooo was trading a 2000x trailing earnings… For reference SNDK is 37x trailing earnings and 6x forward. Memory multiples are extremely low compared to dot com. The fundamentals of memory companies are far stronger than those at the dot com time. Now an argument could be the cyclical nature and that SNDK won’t see more built out for example, but the AI build out is going to need exponentially more electricity and compute. If you want this argument to end up true, AI intelligence would need to hit a scaling wall which has not happened yet. The way I look at it is we have literally created exponentially scaling intelligence, the economic effects of this are unlimited.
Yep still holding long on QQQ, 💎 hand the dip
I’m not a day trader. I buy growth stocks when they are underpriced. I buy low PEG ratio stocks. For example, I bought APP when it was $70 per share. I sold after I made a very nice profit. That stock is now $339 per share. I typically hold for 1-2 years, but of course every investment is different. I don’t think you can know what a stock will do in the short term as there are so many different variables that go into the valuation. Of course, during a Bull market, it’s much easier to pick winners. In fact, I think you really have to consider the overall market before you even to decide to invest in individual stocks. Most people don’t have the time or the patience to do enough Due Diligence before investing. I’m an accountant, so I spend a lot of time reading Financial Statements, 10K, etc. I have done pretty well in my opinion. Unless you are willing to spend the time to really understand the company, the industry and the overall market, I would recommend investing in an index fund ( for example QQQ). Some people are good at timing the market and I give them credit. Some have various strategies that work for them. I follow the GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) strategy. Currently, I own $MU. They have a forward PE of 6 and a very high growth rate. I think it’s a good long term investment, but each person has to do their own research and invest accordingly to their own risk/reward tolerances. Good luck!

My long term investment account is 95% equities/commodities, 5% Cash/Cash equivalents. Currently up about 24% YTD. Only added on the QQQ dip around 665$/ and gold around 4100
QQQ goes back to ATH will bring SPY to breakout to 800 nicely.
F your early calls, F your late poots. QQQ goes up from here
AMZN, please continue to ignore SPY and QQQ 🙏🏼
You can actually sell QQQ and SPY? I didn’t know that. I was under the impression that once you buy, you own it for life
Fucking QQQ. SPY hitting ATH while I’m holding this retarded peice of shit.
QQQ bounce off 724.24, if it holds 724.7 then 726 should be easy ?
Holy shit, can you get any more cringe? QQQ $740 day was cringe enough, but holy shit 🥀
Those of you who invest in QQQ regularly: what is considered a good dip? 3%? 1%? Doesn’t seem to stay down for long, wondering when I should wait to jump in. It’s just a few dollars away from ATH, should I wait for a dip? Or does it just rip non stop so it doesn’t matter when I buy in (what the chart seems to show)
I would hope a professional investor is beating my regarded QQQ buy and hold strategy …

That’s just not true. My trade price on nvda was so slow that it now shows as zero due to some of the options premium I’ve collected against it. My investing is still completely rational with large swaths in index funds like QQQ, SPY, etc

I started getting into trading the ORB and want to know what scanner settings and specific rules you follow. My specific variation is waiting for the first 30M and waiting for a 5M close. What scanner settings should I use when deciding which stocks to trade, along with any extra rules that you follow? Please keep in mind that, due to religious reasons, I do not short-sell stocks or trade QQQ/SPY. Thank you!
Premarket being a gay bitch, fading a .5% QQQ pump, but it could be worse. I could still be invested in memory stocks.
Think QQQ long calls with small amount of cash if we stay around here along with a QQQ long put hedge, both deploy small cash
Gonna make some money this week on QQQ jade lizards 🦎 Bers r mildly fuk 🤗
I only do SPY calls and for puts QQQ is better alternative due to average more downside when it dumps.
Jimmy the type to watch QQQ drop 15% over 2 months n buy more puts because surely this is the end
QQQ is going up because if it doesn't then my shares wont get called away Jane wants my shares
u/Jimmy_Jellyy has posted 21 comments in the last 30 minutes citing why the market needs to go down now !banbet QQQ ATH 1week
QQQ was down 12% over the last 2 months, u missed ur chance u fucking retard
Yes, very easily just live off dividends. Sell it and buy high yield low fee tickers ran by banks with a 1/5 of the liquidity. SCHB, VYM and JEPI are good ones. Buy SPY, VT and QQQ with 2/5 or 3/5 of the liquidity. TLT, GLD and SLV for hedging with the remaining amount. You’ll cover every market, have global coverage thru VT, have steady income thru high yield bank tickets and have good hedging. Wouldn’t recommend retiring and quitting, definitely continue working. But you’ll be set in a decade.
Guys, my mother in laws property is obliterated so I'm draining the investment account to pay for contractors to fix it. I currently have 5K in QQQ puts. Do I sell at open? Yes or no.
QQQ calls and SPY puts because they're gonna turn America into an official Plutocracy.
We are going to pump. My reasoning is that I am seeing a lot of YouTube videos with the. "QQQ MASSIVE SELL OFF THIS WEEK BEARS IN CONTROL" in the title
My call option #QQQ expires tomorrow. Wish me luck
No… look at them they’re green af. QQQ anyway
OP how do you choose to buy SPY and QQQ calls? Do You just buy 0DTE calls when it dips? And how do you choose the strike price? Just like a certain perentage?
Well any metric can give you a false sense of security, but given that the last 2 quarters, companies in the QQQ have beaten ER projections by an average of 31.4% above consensus, the PEG might actually be too conservative. To me, its just best to assume that the pattern continues until it doesn't. Then get out quickly
I'm not a permabull or bear, but I will give you the bull case. Forward PEG for QQQ is at 1.00 which is close to a 20-year low (historical average is 1.35-1.45). For SPY the PEG is lowest in nearly 30 years
Someone just quoted QQQ P/E to say its not an AI bubble. Okay, man. Thats definitely proof!
It isn't tho. QQQ's PE is \~30, it hit almost 200 in the dot com bubble. Financials actually look healthy in most of these companies. Most\*
**LEAPS can still lose value even when the underlying goes up.** You’re dealing with delta, IV, theta, and the strike not just QQQ’s price. If QQQ went from 705 to above your entry but IV dropped or the option was lower delta than expected, the breakeven
A couple of them did, yah. In the dot com bubble QQQ's PE hit almost 200. We're sitting at like 30 here... and the companies are growing.
Yeah as people have mentioned I feel like overlap isn't that big of a deal, I wouldn't sell ETFs just because of overlap especially if they are going to be charged capital gains on them. Moving forward it would be good to just be more aware of your overlap (which it sounds like you are) and ensure you're investing in a way that diversifies more (if that's what you want). You can use [turtto.com](http://turtto.com) to view overlap among many ETFs and it would also show how much you have in individual holdings. Like VTI/VOO and QQQ are going to have a lot in NVDA, AAPL, etc already. So maybe you're fine with that but might be worth just investing in ETFs instead of individual stocks as you'll be heavily weighted in the super mega cap stocks anyway. [Here using turtto](https://turtto.com/?tickers=VOO%2CQQQ&timeframe=ytd&graphType=adjclose&alloc=50%2C50&allocMode=percent) you can see that at a 50/50 split in VOO/QQQ (not recommending that) you'll have \~8% in NVDA and \~7% in AAPL.
Epstein give us a 5% QQQ week.
Roth IRA, every paycheck put 10-15% of it into VOO, QQQ, SCHD, and VGT… or spread that 15% across all of them. Max out your Roth IRA every year. When that is maxed out, do the same thing but under your normal stock accounts. A total of $10,000 right now into just VOO, should turn into \~$600k in 30 years if you don’t touch it, and much much more if you continuously add to it. Aim for $200/mo into Roth IRA if you’re making under $30k/yr, if you’re making $40k+ then aim for $500+/mo. By the time you hit 50, you should be able to quit your jobs and live off of the interest/dividends when combined with your retirement.
Since I'm doing the math already, given the covid crash period because that was a quick rebound (bear markets usually last a lot longer ofc). From 2020-02-19 to 2020-06-03, QQQ went +0.1%. A costless 3x daily strategy went −24.7%, on volatility drag alone. So it's pretty fucking painful even in short crashes.
from the Nov 2021 high, QQQ fell −33% and reclaimed its high in about two years. TQQQ fell −79% and didn't reclaim its high until January 2025. Some other examples Since TQQQ inception (Mar 2010, 16.5y) - QQQ: +1,630% - TQQQ: + +26,944% From 2000-03-27 (26.4 years) - QQQ: +806% - TQQQ: +365% The daily drag will fuck you up. The daily-rebalanced leverage has a growth drag of roughly L(L−1)/2 × σ², volatility in the period matters. At the 2010s' ~17%, volatility that's ~9%/yr, you don't notice that in a 19%/yr market. At 2000–2002's 40%+ volatility it's ~48%/yr
but it doesn't lol. Look at any triple leveraged fund over the long term - TQQQ vs QQQ. +1200% QQQ over the last 15 years, +36,000% TQQQ. They get larger drawdowns, ye, but they also go up far harder and faster. I'd rather see a +100% then -20%, than a +50% and -10%. The cost of leverage on them is actually very cheap too... people overestimate their costs and friction.
No they didn't, $47 billion. Impressive, but not $100B. They are also spending like drunken sailors. Their path to profitability is questionable with Chinese models threatening to take the lower end of the market. I am not anti-AI. As a software engineer I use it on a regular basis, but there's clearly a bubble. I don't think the correction is imminent, and I don't try to time the market, so I am still long AI for now. Setting a reminder to admit I was wrong in a year if SpaceX is above IPO price by then. I'm also long SpaceX via Invesco QQQ, btw. I'm not rooting for a crash, I'm just paying attention to the math. https://preview.redd.it/7jcyt1k8pdih1.jpeg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6171b2d4c069ce43d3ad1b534c37eb638dd17c2 !remindme 1 year
This is a really big fear for me. I'm 59 and probably too heavy in equities, but bonds barely keep up with inflation. There were all kinds of stories about Enron employees with their entire 401k in Enron stock. I met a guy in a training class who worked for Enron, he had really drank the koolaid. I wonder how he ended up. I used to follow [thestreet.com](http://thestreet.com) heavily back in the .com crash, I remember right when the markets were starting to turn this younger guy (I think a brit) who wrote saying the NASDAQ would drop to 1500 and laid out his case. Cramer called him out, said he was an idiot. That guy was SO right. At the time I had a friend who was really into MACD divergences (higher high not matched by higher high on MACD), I happened to be short QQQ when it went down because of that signal. Sold after about 10% drop because I didn't want to be greedy... should have been greedier.
Yeah def not full-on rotations yet, just some early signal of movement. I've found in backtesting my system that these early lag -> improve movements will provide signals for entry, but you do need to weigh that against everything else here (and actually this is an excerpt from a much longer analysis that helps complete the picture). Then I enter with very tight stop for trades, or use it for entry into stocks I like for long holds. New leadership for me is when a theme crosses into leading on weekly RS vs QQQ (or SPY for factors/sectors), not just a one week bounce. I want the path to show improving to leading, ideally with RS turning up across shorter windows. Inputs: Level = 8 week RS. Theme ETF return minus benchmark return over 8 weeks. Momentum = 3 week RS. Same spread over 3 weeks. Leading means both are above a small threshold (0.15% spread). Outperforming on the longer window and the shorter window is still positive. Not just beating SPY/QQQ on price. Beating on both timeframes at once. So when something flips lagging to improving, 8 week RS can still be deeply negative. That is not leading yet. It becomes leading when the 8 week spread crosses positive and the 3 week spread is also positive at the same weekly close.
My opinion? Don't get your info from reddit or any other forum. Search for every article you can find, search for videos of the CEO, ask Ai..etc. If you're not capable of doing that then you shouldnt be buying individual stocks. Buy ETF's like SPX or QQQ, etc where you're not going to get burned. Especially in small little weenie stocks like you mention.
QQQ: For me as a swing trader that likes to short premium or discount extensions, there is not much to do in current situation. I always need to have a bigger reasonable price target. For example one month ago when we first started to see lower highs and failure for ATH reclaim, I shorted every rip with the target of June lows in mind. Everything played out nicely. Woth last weeks massive reclaim bounce, we are now stuck in the worst place to take a long or short decision. With how they showed confidence in the bull market, I dont want to go short, and since we are not far from ATH I also dont want to long this here. Very tricky spot. Most likely we will be stuck in a range here for a while.
It’s actually early for optics and neoclouds. I disagree that Roundhill is late with these ETFs. However I don’t like the weightings in both ETFs. For LYTE, I don’t want China exposure. Their companies are opaque, their market is very volatile, and their photonics technology is 2+ years behind America. Plus, you have geopolitical risk anytime Trump escalates the trade war with China. With NCLD, Nebius is the best in class. CoreWeave is an absolute debt bomb, and some of the other holdings are extremely risky due to debt and/or loony valuations. It’s not a bad idea to own both as I do expect them to outperform QQQ, but if you do your research you’re probably just buying the leaders directly.
Just need 🥭to lie some more and pump QQQ 3% tomorrow
QQQ ATH in August confirmed 🤗 Then when this guy FOMOs in at the top in September we dip 10% into mid-terms He’ll short again in mid-October and we’ll close the year at ATHs OP, please post before each of your regarded moves, thanks ☺️
I just checked and my god, THERE'S A COCK AND BALLS PATTERN ON QQQ!
OP let me tell you man. Take that money and put it in QQQ or VOO and forget about it. Don't do it. don't yolo it
A legit answer is to join bogleheads and passive investors, and realize most people will never beat the market (I learned this lesson too a year or so ago). Rebalance your portfolio into some market ETFs and passively invest. My current portfolio is like VTI (or VOO) like 60% or 65%, VXUS for international exposure (like 30% or so). And a bit of AVUV for small cap exposure. If you'd rather bet on tech rn, QNDX for the cheapest nasdaq 100 (or QQQM or QQQ, but these have higher cost basis). Then don't touch the money for years. Don't try to chase yield, dividends, or high risk high reward. You can claim up to $3,000 on your taxes for the losses btw. Actively traded funds are pretty bad. Play with the numbers, watch historical stock market videos on risk (Ben Felix maybe). Uhhhhh. Check out bogleheads. They're really risk averse, but they still get pretty good returns. About half that of top 100 nasdaq companies. The reason you get a lower yield is because the top 100 nasdaq companies (QQQ, QQQM, QNDX) are heavily skewed tech and US. Which opens you up to consentration risk. And they're all large caps, which means smaller growth possibilities (and potential dot-com bubble corrections). You'll sleep better at night if you just passively let your investments play out instead of chasing gains. It'll take you a few years to see significant growth. And tbh you are at the point where I definitely could see your portfolio increasing to 100k easily if you just don't gamble and surpass that. At 100k, you are 1/3 the way to 1 million in time. At 300k, you are 1/2 to 1 million in time. iirc "No one wants to get rich slow" - warren buffet or something. Anyway, yeah, I can't guarantee anything. Not financial advice, but I do think it is a better plan than whatever you're doing.
50% of QQQ is like 7 companies including SpaceX… I prefer SP500 + laddered T bills for emergencies

You shouldn't have to worry about setting it with the trade dont trade super late into the day (past 3pm est) and it shouldn't move that hard before you can set your stop. Some brokers allow you to set stops when placing orders but mine doesn't, so I just do it immediately after. Also sometimes the spreads can be really wide. Let's say youre trading a 10 cent option Since it's such a low price, and the option going to 8 cents would stop you our for example, you may fly right past 8 cents and go into 7 or 6, causing you to lose more then you anticipated off your stop loss. My advice, set stop losses at -20% to -30% on liquid options (SPY, QQQ, NVDA, GOOGL, AAPL ETC) and ensure if you're buying OTM you're only going 1 strike up at thr most. I know the contracts costs more, but you also have less of a risk of getting stopped out lower then you anticipated. Good luck.
I would say dump this thing because your call is obviously useless and you’re hoping for a miracle. You still have $500ish bucks. Start trading 0-DTE SPY or QQQ calls. You can probably swing 2-3 contracts. Good luck
Deposit $6 and put it all on 0dte QQQ calls the second market open.
Really ... You bought options and lost money. Now get an account with a real broker (Schwab Tos, Tasty) any that has a simple look back feature. Say you Sold QQQ 21Aug Puts 660 (17delta) on 7/6 for $7. You would be up $586 on 8/6. You would have had to have 8k in Buying Power, maybe going up to 12k on 7/29, when you would have been down $1200. If this is not for you maybe try Kalshi.

QQQ is up 25% last year, time for a new strategy..
Ok but SPY is at ATH and holding? And QQQ is way above the -20% bear market level
Hold it until the first big new ATH day on QQQ and sell it that day and then buy further OTM
