Some honest assessment of my investing strategy and why "steady but surely" beats "get rich now" if you're not devoted to trading
The market is held up by boomer optimism which will be destroyed
Great news guys I just checked IBKR and QQQ actually closed at 740. Yesterday was probably just some weird bug.
Mentions
Because he's a fucking retard. He's larping safe bets and thinks he is a genius by holding QQQ long term 🤣
Outside of regiment accounts NVDA QQQ VOO
Holding QQQ long term and being the smartest guy here is a low bar to meet
Look at the QQQ during the dot com era.
That is why I choose QQQ over SPY or VOO.
Come up with a split between VOO and QQQ. No one will argue against that 10 years later. If you want some pop, sprinkle in a few shares of SpaceX and NVIDIA, but keep that as a low single digit percentage.
I don't mind being down because my time horizon is 20+ years. Being down means getting a flash sale deal as I invest 2k per month. That is why 2022 was a golden year for me. QQQ and the rest of the market got cut down significantly. I kept adding. And as a result, my gains in the next year was a whopping 69%. You should understand that an ETF holding the best of the best is not the same as gambling on a single company.
Breaking News! QQQ will be up +2% on Monday.
1. QQQ puts 2. SMH puts 3. Micron puts
I got QQQ calls expiring friday, am i cooked?

Not my portfolio, but here’s what the bet represents. This is r/wallstreetbets after all. Adding QQQ is a multiplier bet on the tech sector continuing to outperform the rest of the stock market.
VOO, QQQ, VTI…equity is TD Synnex, for years.
AMZN BE MU -Stonks QQQ TQQQ SMH - ETFs , and way to much DRAM
My 7/6 QQQ calls gonna need a nice fyoots bump tomorrow evening. 🤡🤡🤡
Why would you go VTI and QQQ? They fully overlap I believe and QQQ has much higher TER.
If **NQ1! can break above 30,000 overnight and hold it**, I’d become more optimistic about QQQ opening at **720+**. If it falls back below about **29,800**, I’d expect the odds of a 720+ open to decrease.

Might as well just get VT, there's no point to VTI/VXUS and QQQ, just pick something

I am waiting for Jersey Mikes to join the QQQ!
Felt a bit adventurous, bought SMH with my VTI/VXUS/QQQ last month.
**NQ1! +1.17%** ✅ Bullish **ES1! +0.38%** ✅ Bullish **Bitcoin +1.23%** ✅ Mildly bullish for tech sentiment **VIX 15.82 (-1.98%)** ✅ Bullish (lower fear) **European futures positive** ✅ Bullish **Dollar (DXY) essentially flat** ➖ Neutral The one thing to remember is that **QQQ itself is still showing Friday’s close (712.60)** because it isn’t trading over the weekend. NQ futures are the better indicator until premarket begins. **My Monday outlook** **Base case (most likely):** Open: **718–720** Early test of **720–721** If buyers hold, move toward **722–724** during the session.
Canada why cant I buy CSU on American exchanges? seems a good 100x? I asked ChatGPT why and it gave me some lame answer like "the founders are not interested in listing on the QQQ because its not the shareholders they seek"
QQQM is basically QQQ with less fees. Thats the one I would buy but it’s a little more risky than something that tracks sp500. With your timeframe that should be ok. As you near retirement you may want to move into sp500 or total market
The only thing I would say is that if there's an ETF that matches or is close enough to the mutual fund, go with the ETF, if only for the fact that you can trade it during market hours. Mutual funds get priced at the end of the day after the close. If you put in a buy or sell order in the middle of the day, it doesn't get executed until after the market's closed. As for Roth vs other types of accounts, there can be reasons to put certain types of stocks in a Roth (or other retirement-type account) instead of a regular brokerage account, but spcifically when it comes to aggressiveness or your investment mix, personally I wouldn't use different types of account to segregate growth vs income. There's nothing wrong with just having SPY and/or VOO plus maybe some QQQ until you get close to/in retirement at which point you want to get a little more defensive.
Yeah I think this post is incorrectly assuming that younger people should take higher risk because they can “start over” if their investments go to zero - but that’s not why, it’s because higher risk usually grow more in absolute returns over a long enough period to offset the short term volatility risk. Still, no one should invest in things that can go to zero - that’s gambling. But QQQ will not go to zero permanently while there were other options remaining.
You want to short Elon? Then short him. You want to avoid QQQ due to exposure to Elon? Don't buy it. You want to short QQQ due to exposure to Elon (which will be roughly 400$ per 100k in Nasdaq)? Jesus fucking Christ what edge do you think you have?
So you are trading fictional markets where there are no crashes. Gotcha. I didn't make the standard. You did. You said I didn't know what I was talking about and TQQQ outperforms QQQ over a 30 year run. Yet I went back 30 years and that is just simply not true.
You are backpedaling now. You said there is no situation where QQQ outperforms TQQQ over 30 years. Yet I just showed you that not only does QQQ outperforms TQQQ, TQQQ goes basically bust twice during your set time frame. You never once said anything about hedging. Which would actually hurt your gains anyway.
I don't mind people making fun of my portfolio so much... Doesn't hurt as much as when the stocks go down. Anyway I'm still beating QQQ, my portfolio has dropped a lot but I'm still beating it by 5%, so I still feel like I'm doing something right. ARM should also go to 400+ when QQQ approaches 750... But it will keep dropping if QQQ doesn't grow... I kind of hate that I ever touched it
It's always been common advice to never own more than \~5% of your portfolio in one stock. QQQ existed and other indexes did. I should know I put every spare cent I could into QQQ and other tech stocks like Amazon and Netflix and Apple. Everyone called me an idiot and pulled out of the market.
The only reason I’d leave it all where it is would be if I thought it would outperform the broader markets, which it definitely has been. But nobody can tell you the future of any stock, especially anonymous people on Reddit. I have about two thirds of my portfolios in ETFs. Most are heavy on Nasdaq/Tech. And most of those beat the S&P index funds. A tech ETF (like QQQ or XLK) might not go up as quickly as AMD when it’s on a run, but you won’t see as much volatility. If you’re not planning to take profits soon, I’d put some of my profits into an index fund like the S&P or Nasdaq. And seriously, if you’re looking for advice, speak to a financial planner - preferably in person. I’ve found a lot of great stocks on Reddit I probably wouldn’t have heard of otherwise, but I’ve also found quite a few that didn’t turn out great, either. An experienced professional will ask you a ton of questions about you and your lifestyle before making any suggestions.
Take 180K and spread it out among broader ETFs like SPY and QQQ. Leave 20K in AMD bc it has a nice future but no need to put all your eggs there.
Target dated funds are designed to generate fees. Investing is best done as a steady patient habit. Create a budget with the amount you want to save and buy a broad based index fund every two weeks. Start with Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF VOO for your first $10,000. Then half VOO and half QQQ NASDAQ 100 for the next $10,000. Then keep going or look for some individual stocks. If you are looking for stability and dividends, companies like Johnson & Johnson, Procter and Gamble and Medtronic. If looking for growth and can tolerate high volatility, SpaceX, NVIDIA, Micron, etc. Build the base in VOO and QQQ first for stable long term growth with less volatility than individual stocks, then fill in with stocks that meet your goals.
It depends on your risk tolerance and goals. But generally with 300k, a good split could be 1/3 in high growth stocks - so maybe an index fund like the Dow Jones or QQQ or a Mag 7 index. Another 1/3 in defensive stocks, cash cows and solid dividend growth stocks (SCHD does this for you in a fund) or just a broad market fund for simplicity. Then the last 1/3 in bonds or high yield savings accounts where you can deploy the capital if there is ever a market crash or good discounts in the market. Or you can think to the split you want for yourself.
I saw your other comment. Diversification will work for you. You have the ability to invest enough where in thirty to forty years, you’ll be well off. QQQ with just a bit of SCHG is enough diversification. 70/30 split.
Wow. I’d imagine very few people in Europe are able to enjoy your situation. You make enough and can invest enough to be well off eventually with diversification. But still, I’d recommend mostly QQQ or QQQM. And while you are socking money away at this, study individual stocks. Here’s a start: NBIS, OUST, COHR, FN, CAMT.
Yes. Just QQQ is the way to go. Try to buy more during a dip or correction. This assumes the op is unable to stock pick.
In a situation as described, I’d go QQQ
Watching how [$QQQ](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/qqq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=QQQ&utm_content=template_1783164432382_uix2yu) sets up. I try to look at the data before forming a view. Still deciding for myself.
Putting 2k a month aside alone will get you almost $150k by year 6. I mean QQQ has performed well, but that alone pays for a car and a 20% down payment on a 500,000 home.
It's a bet on the cream crop of American innovation. If QQQ goes bust I think we'll have much bigger problems.
QQQ is risky and volatile. I'd lean towards an All-world ETF.
IWM moved really clean in June vs QQQ or SPY.
I’m trying to delude myself into thinking QQQ calls for $740 by 7/8 will work out. I paid only $23 each but it’s risen and dropped every week so not sure
Considering TQQQ would have lost 99.97% of it's value 24 years ago, and 99.1% 17 years ago, then 73% in 2020, how are you calculating an over performance Vs QQQ.
TQQQ is bad for a long term hold. It can actually under perform QQQ in some bull situations. QQQA is better if you want a QQQ start that outperforms QQQ.

Bro 0DTE $20 OTM QQQ puts are like 10 bucks a pop. On Friday you could have bought a 712 for $10 on the low (if you could time it that well) and sold at peak around $500.
Investing is best done as a steady patient habit on a schedule. Start with a fixed amount every two weeks into Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF ticker VOO. Once you get over $10,000, look at adding NASDAQ 100 QQQ or a high growth individual stock like NVIDIA or SpaceX you plan to own over multiple years. There are many right answers, but the foundation is investing on a schedule and starting with the S&P 500.

Is MU a leveraged QQQ/NQ ETF?
QQQM is QQQ but cheaper. QQQ is good for playing options or scalp trading. And yes. Basically at my rate of monthly investment, I only need the QQQM to return 10-14% annualized in order to become a millionaire in my 40s. I am able to live very well on 50-70k so that would basically be financial sovereignty for me.
It got you all that in 6 years? Yeah I'm definitely putting some money in QQQ I know about that one I don't know about QQQM I'm going to start researching
Why would anyone choose QQQ over QQQM?
I've heard a QQQ but the other ones I haven't I'll look into rhem thanks.
I'm 33 and I've been investing 2,000 per month into QQQ (and QQQM exclusively after it came out) since I was 27. It's more volatile than SP500 but well within my tolerance and time horizon. So far it got me a car and a 20% downpayment for mortgage with lots to spare.
$1,500 in QQQ $500 in NBIS $500 in QCOM $500 in OUST Do not waver. Stick with the plan. Thank me in five years.
I bought QQQ $740 calls expiring Wednesday for only $23 each so if yours print mine will likely too
If QQQ reaches $740 by Wednesday I will make a lot of money 🤞I’m probably screwed instead of
If you had $4M in the NASDAQ 100 (e.g. the QQQ) in March 2000 and started your annual withdrawal at $160k/yr. and increased it annually for inflation, you would have run out of money in 2007. The NASDAQ 100 has had a wonderful return of 14-15% annually over its lifetime, but that didn't mean much if the down years got front loaded into your retirement. A sizeable position in bonds & cash is what gets you through this disaster scenario.

NDX options print to OPRA like everything else, so the data exists. The issue is that a lot of vendors market equity options and quietly leave cash settled index products out of the default set. Anyone selling full OPRA history has NDX. Databento was already mentioned, Polygon flat files and Algoseek are also worth a look at tick level. CBOE DataShop is the authoritative source since it is their listing, so if you want the cleanest fills that is the safe default. One practical warning for tick level NDX specifically. Volume is thin next to QQQ, so plenty of strikes and expiries will have sparse quote updates and wide markets, and your tick file will look patchy in a way that is real, not a data gap. If your model needs continuous quotes you may have to fill or filter around that. QQQ trades far more, which is exactly why more providers surface it by default even though NDX carries the larger notional.

VLUE (iShares MSCI **USA Value Factor** ETF) outperform VVL xD YTD (%) Peformance: 1. VLUE → 38% 2. MTUM (iShares MSCI **USA Momentum Factor** ETF) → 25% 3. QQQ (Nasdaq100 ETF, Invesco ETF, **USA Index) →** 16% 4. VVL (**Global Value**) → 15% But in 5Y Performance (%) or more (Long-term) QQQ ETF beats everyone. Yes, in recent years the Value Factor has 'more traction', you can also see it with the ratios: * IWD/SPY Ratio → value relative performace vs index benchmark. * IWF/SPY Ratio → growth relative performance vs index benchmark. **👨🏫 BUT HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART TO UNDERSTAND 👇🏻** 1. **US Market Indices like the Nasdaq100 (QQQ ETF) their holdings are weighted by Market Cap.** 2. **The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA ETF) is price-weighted.** 3. **And the Value ETFs we are sharing are weighted by fundamentals, e.g VLUE and your VVL ETF. In fact, this ETFs are more a 'Invesment Style ETF' than a 'Factor ETF' 💡** 4. **This drives different performance (%) 💡😉** Unfortunately, there is no "Global Growth Factor" ETF. Perhaps because most of their holdings would be US technological stocks (QQQ Holdings), so have nonsense to make one. Most of global ETF compositions has more than 50% on US Markets, even factors like Value, Dividend, Momentum, etc. Growth factor have a big concentration in United States (*main region for global markets*) markets.
Small recovery for the memory stocks at hyper trading- +4% on MU / Sndk etc.. but the indexes is still languishing at +1% (QQQ)
How the hell MU has more weight in QQQ than Google and MSFT and AMZN? They still are more market cap than micron
Other markets are open now? Oh dumb question I guess since others don’t care about 4th of July. That’s good to hear since im really hoping QQQ goes up on Monday
Thank you! It's weird that NDX gets ignored more often than QQQ, even if NDX is greater in nominal value than QQQ.
Theta Data has tick level QQQ options data going back to 2016
I added more MU options yesterday’s closing. Important thing to note MU has heavy(4.9%) weightage (3rd after Nvidia and Apple) in QQQ etf now.
Are my QQQ 720 calls expiring Wednesday safe?
QQQ is a selective portion of one of the most popular indices. Most people are not 100% in QQQ. Hedge funds aren’t about strictly max returns. Anyways you should compare him against other managers and on that stage he did pretty good.
As a reminder, the QQQ dropped 80% from its peak during the dot com crash. It took 15 years to recover that peak.
During this same ten-year time period, QQQ cumulative return was 456%.
The TSX listed versions of QQQ are up about 1.4% today.
DIA (*dow etf, aka "value"*) is outperforming QQQ (*nasdaq100 etf, aka "growth"*)? YTD, 1Y, 5Y performance? lol No, QQQ ETF still winning here, this are not "Equity Factor ETFs" are just US Market Indices, that also are driven by Equity Factors and US Sector Rotation, big difference from directly Factor ETFs. You can understand this, if you can see the Sector Composition (weight%) of each one of this Equity Factor ETFs (Aggressive sectors, vs Defensive Sectors, Sector Rotation). Maybe you are talking about IWD factor (value) vs IWF factor (growth) ETFs, here Value ETF outperforms Growth ETF, but just YTD and 1Y timeframe. Yes, this can happen even without "bear market", cuz the people can start to be "defensive" for several reasons, like inflation, not just for 'bear markets'. *IWD have more weight (%) in Financials (XLF sector) and IWF have more weight in Technology (XLK sector)* >IWD and IWF are iShares (Blackrock) ETFs from Russell1000. You also have Vanguard ETFs, IVE (value) and VUG (growth) from S&P500. Not a big difference, but it shows up in the long run. 😉
And all of NBIS -25% happened in the last 3 trading days, while it was added to QQQ like 10 days ago
QQQ. Specific companies? MAG-6 (no memes, thanks).
Please QQQ $731 today
The issue is not quite obvious in the SOXX yet, but this formation by QQQ and Dow outperformance has usually led to further tech index drops eventually over the past few years...
The memory bubble has been so fucking extreme that even with META and MSFT up bigly in premarket QQQ is still down nearly 1%
We need some etf to 2x TQQQ and SOXL so it’d be 6x QQQ
