QQQ

Happy-Champion1661

it's funny how SPY/QQQ are dead, MSFT META are dead, MU just lost 25% in a week, GOOGL also suffering losses, but NVDA is still almost flat in the 170-180 range the best stablecoin

QQQ worth a shot here tbh

According-Page8618

QQQ At fridays low and SPY at the Friday gap. if this is not the reversal here, then we are going down antother 1%

I'm in for QQQ 580 calls... let's ride 😎

Happy-Champion1661

market has been correcting all February. MU didn't drop as much and pumped into earnings for no reason but hype and greed. It's just back to its normal level when SPY is 652 and QQQ 582

According-Page8618

QQQ wont go below 580- calls here

Alive-South-8808

So I guess QQQ isn't going green today lol

Oh_he_steal

Yes. And people look at a long-term chart of TQQQ and think "well, isn't this obviously the best investment?" They have no idea about anchoring bias. Yes, if you buy and hold TQQQ during a prolonged tech bull market, you will do very well. But how do you know that's going to happen? Or even if you timed the entry correctly? Fun fact: If you bought TQQQ at basically any point from March 21-April 22 and held this entire time, you're STILL underperforming QQQ 5 years later.

EdgeLordMcGravy

QQQ getting repeatedly rejected by 584. Either it pushes through soon or pulls back pretty hard I’d imagine

Accent_Your_Comment

I'm late to this thread but if you don't mind answering anyways: it seems like almost any long duration I put in the backtest link you sent (even from 2021 to today for example), I still get really good returns. Obviously it can be lower than putting in QQQ in the 2021-2026 example I gave, but it still gave a 47% cumulative return (vs 67% in QQQ). I'm not cherry picking, I'm just looking for reasons why this is so unrecommended in this thread. So why wouldn't it be a good idea to long TQQQ? Is it because of interest rates during when it goes sideways (is that in the backtest you gave)? Is it because if I'm not patient enough I'll do worse than QQQ? I'm genuinely curious and also only planning to invest what I'm willing to lose.

marcelinehaha

those 3/26 QQQ calls are living dangerously today, rooting for you tho. while you wait for green i jumped on an Alpha waitlist recently, I heard early participants will get rewarded massively when it launches so I figured why not hedge the vibes lol.

drew-gen-x

DXY was rejected at 100. Crude Oil was rejected at 94.60. $SPY held 650. Buy the indices. $SPY, $VXUS, $VT. I would avoid $QQQ. Now if the DXY breaks above 100 and $SPY breaks below 650 for extended period of time then all bets are off.

Happy-Champion1661

you know you don't have to hold all day right? 582c QQQ 0dte were 2.00 at open, now 2.6 OTM even better

GOOGL and QQQ leaps!

thetalentedmrbowser

TQQQ leaps is a terrible idea. There’s a cost to carry and the 3x leverage resets every day. It’s designed for a short term hold. If you’re that bullish then simple QQQ is a better way to go. This post is retarded anyway because we’re all fucked.

**Long-term investment portfolio, age 30, budget $150k** 1. VOO – 40% 2. QQQ – 20% 3. GLD – 10% 4. BSV – 5% 5. VGIT – 3% 6. TLT – 2% 7. FTGC – 10% 8. SPMO – 5% 9. ARKK – 5% Now, let me explain why I designed it this way: 1. VOO is a fund that invests in the S&P 500 index. 2. QQQ is the Nasdaq-100 index fund. 3. GLD is a gold fund. 4. BSV is a short-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 5. VGIT is an intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 6. TLT is a long-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 7. FTGC is a commodities fund (aluminum, iron, steel, copper, barley, wheat, palladium, platinum, and more). 8. SPMO is a momentum stock fund. 9. ARKK is a technology fund. I’m waiting for your comments.

katrav86

QQQ less than 1% down. I told you fucks this was all priced in. relax.

FarrisAT

I’m quite surprised that the Russell 2000, of which 35% of its companies are unprofitable, is outperforming the QQQ over the past 6 months. Meanwhile bond yields have risen from 3.4% in October to 4.2% in March. In effect, debt refinancing have become 30% more expensive since October. Hence my RTY short (sold RTY May futures).

Thank you to the person who liked my comment yesterday when QQQ was at 592 when I said ONE like and I’ll buy puts.

QQQ

CarRamRob

Wrong, TQQQ can lose up to 100% in a bear market and not recover ever. Every leveraged ETF can go to zero, and given enough time and volatility, they all will even when the market will eventually go up. It’s not just QQQ which can see large drawdowns and eventually recover. Go check out what 3x ETFs for oil prices look like…notice how most of them are all made since 2020? It’s because every single one of them wiped out completely due to the Covid volatility. Same with almost every other 3x ETF.

CarRamRob

Most high leveraged ETFs have to get reset every few years since they go to zero so often. Goes to show how well QQQ has done that TQQQ is one that has survived to not do that, but it’s still just a matter of time before it hits a downturn and then trades sideways for 3 years and wipes out all value.

Accurate-Flow8078

Sorry but I bought QQQ puts today. It's gonna be green as hell.

meandjarvis

QQQM = betting that tech dominance continues forever. VOO/VTI = betting that the US market broadly continues. For 20+ years, QQQM's concentration in tech is both its strength and its risk. If AI delivers, you win big. If it's the next dot-com, you eat a lost decade. I go with IVV (S&P 500) rather than QQQ. Even though I am very optimistic and believe in tech dominance, but still I'd like to have some balance to make me sleep better. IVV has enough tech exposure already. Diversification isn't about maximum returns. It's about surviving whatever comes.

If you have a problem with companies dealing with US military, then there's a whole lot of other companies in QQQ to exclude.

On March 31, I’m on the hook to buy $300,000 in QQQ (unless something magical happens and it breaks back about $600/share). But I like to look at the bright side, I *almost* made $7,000 on the trade. 🤪 This is not good trading. Be smarter than me.

DefiantZealot

34 of my positions are stocks and 6 ETFs (SPY, QQQ, SLV, IWM, GLD, DIA). I select the stocks by filtering onto any companies that have more than $10B in market cap and the sort defending by order of IV and then sell iron condors on those tickers. Depending on how the market moves, I’ll end up doing ratio iron condors.

WithMyxomatosis

Lots of anger. I’m not sure where those numbers came from, but it’s pretty straightforward that if you have exposure of say, 5% to PLTR via an index, and assuming you own enough of that index to be able to go short an individual component of said index in round lots of 100 shares to hedge the position, you can short an equivalent (or close to it) amount of PLTR. If PLTR goes up, your short losses are offset by the gains PLTR contributes to the index fund.  So it would be more like, you buy $100k of QQQ, let’s say 5% of that is PLTR, you then short $5k of PLTR, not $100k. You have to rebalance, think about slippage, borrowing costs, etc, which is why I said this probably isn’t worth it, but this is a pretty simple thought experiment.

achieve_tendernism

Atleast RSP will have minimum exposure. Might swap QQQ and SPY into more of that and SCHM

neutralpoliticsbot

***Why $SPY is All you Need:*** * Liquidity $SPY options: ~20–40 million contracts/day $QQQ options (closest peer): ~8–15 million contracts/day Top meme stocks (combined): often <1–2 million/day * Bid–ask spreads: $SPY: typically $0.01–$0.03 Meme stocks: $0.10–$0.50+ A trader paying $0.20 in spread needs a ~20%+ move just to break even. * $SPY Implied Volatility (IV) vs Realized Volatility (RV) premium: typically 0–10% you won't find anything better unless you trade futures. You are overpaying 20-25% just for the IV vs RV premium gambling on memes. Its adds up quick. You are underwater as soon as you buy and you don't even realize. Especially on meme brokers that give you shit fills. Many traders severely underestimate just how much the underlying has to move to really profit you AND justify the risk. Market makers are laughing at you because long term you just can't win here.

Any_Jicama5208

Sure, but cap weighting lets the winners matter more as they actually win. QQQ can exclude them forever if they list somewhere else, which is the arbitrary part.

Tri-Stain

Where's the QQQ guy who yolod today? I hope he closed out before lunch

Sotarif

By forcing the indexes to hold these scam, IPO overvalued stocks they provide a perfect exit strategy for the shareholders that are already acquired privately and the founders, of course It’s really simple if you’re concerned about this just rotate out to some other passive index funds that aren’t just based on the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ 100. There’s quite a number of them out there. That’ll still have quality filters and you’ll get great diversification. Or reduce your percentage of index holdings in the QQQ or VOO. SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI all look like rip off IPO‘s that are really there to allow the current shareholders to exit and get a cash King holiday. While everyone else gets screwed and left holding the bag once the lock up ends. I wonder if they’ll waive the lock up. for these guys too since they’re waiving the index requirements lol.

I did the same but with stocks losing half my portfolio and then CFDs trying to chase the rest. Now just have ETF portfolio of S&P 500, Gold, Semiconductors and QQQ.

The data shows QQQ volatility is much higher - just compare the derivatives premiums on both. In 2022, QQQ was down over 30% while VOO was down less than 20%. Let's say I wanted to buy a property or had some financial emergency, well it's clear which bucket I'd draw from in that time period. I've been in the markets for over 25 years - I've seen a lot of different scenarios play out. I'm also retired early in my 40's. I don't view my portfolio as "set it and forget it" and consume at 62-65. I'll consume some when I feel the need or desire to, and I'll leave some to (hopefully) continue to grow.

Imagine QQQ going 592

Dense_Sir_8748

It depends on your goal/preference as well as resilience/sustainability. One example: for someone who can make additional 200k every year (like a surgeon), he'd hope the market goes into recession for the next 5-10 years so he can scope cheap assets. Unquestionably he would be willing to pour his $400k cash into QQQ today. But for someone close to retirement, the perspective is totally different. He would probably want to invest in assets like XLU or XLE with for steady dividend payout as well as hedge against inflation.

flumydumdum

Technicals predict that PLTR will drop quite significantly by the end of the year. So Buying QQQ and shorting PLTR might actually make you money!

CronoTrader2B2S

Bears trying to spread FUD from agitator propaganda sites. QQQ 591 EOD

CarRamRob

The risk with QQQ (and broadly high beta equities) is that you may be investing at a high point. So, even though you probably won’t lose money over 30 years, imagine it’s 1999 and you are investing for 25 years. You will have been down for the first 15 years. Are you really going to be confident that your returns will outperform after that whole period? You could have a kid, raise them through toddlers phase, get them into sports under 10, watch them go through puberty and start driving and you’ll have just broken even. Then you tell your spouse, “now honey is when this investment is really going to rip”. Unlikely. And that’s what makes investing so hard. And I say this as somehow when when starting to invest about 15 year ago had to fight through so much rhetoric that the USA market was poor with a terrible outlook. So, yeah. Declaring something like QQQ will maintain its out performance of the total market over that 30 year time period is very difficult to predict, and is probably not that likely even though the 15 year run it’s been on has been incredible.

GomaN1717

Not really. Having QQQ just means you'll have a little more tech exposure than you'd have with *just* VOO. So, when tech's doing particularly well, QQQ has a better chance of out-performing VOO. But again, it's splitting hairs. Longterm, the difference is gonna be negligible, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

SconesLoans

Does it matter with QQQ if I’m even more overlapping with the same stocks and not adding much new exposure?

RussFromPublic

On Public (the investing app) this is 100% possible. For example, they offer direct indexing. I was able to Build a Direct Index tracking QQQ and specifically was able to exclude any asset(s) I wanted. Direct Indexing will solve your problem, but another cool feature they have is generated assets, where you provide the prompt and the app builds the index for you and then you can continue to manipulate that index to your liking. Hope this helps!

GomaN1717

I would either increase VOO, or you could always look into something like QQQ or SPMO if you wanted to lean more tech-heavy (more than VOO already is at least). You could also totally keep the 20% into SCHD and be fine - nothing wrong with it. It's just that dividend stocks are purposely built to be less risky/lower gains, which makes them better for folks nearing retirement. At 31, you absolutely have the time to be aggressive.
