So did I. But then the market reversed in April. The analysis can be right while the market does the opposite. QQQ is still up 20% from a year ago. Looking at objective reality that makes no sense unless inflation is expected to go 20-40%.
Saw a post somewhere that this is the fourth longest downturn in QQQ’s history
Why not just buy QQQ options instead of TQQQ ones and save on the spread?
Guys even with the brutal selloff this last week and high beta stocks selling off way more, BTC held the 65-67k range pretty decently. Just an observation. With high correlation we've been seeing between the indexes and BTC SPY/QQQ bottom could be very near
Even timing the perfect TQQQ put on a weekly doesn't seem to yield great results. I'm seeing much more risk adjusted return on long dated QQQ puts for instance. I'm running a put ladder to 480 on QQQ for the next year. I think the oil shock is understated and if the Bab el-Mandeb Strait gets closed too it's going to be the global economy getting obliterated.
100% XLE will outperform SPY and QQQ in the foreseeable future
Nvda -4%.. that means QQQ and SPY can easily drop another -2% lmao..
So what are you suggesting, that gold may continue to drop but is the most likely to recouperate? And you sat QQQ (aka tech?) Can drop another 20% but wouldnt you think that would be very transitory and would also recouperate if/once things calm? I've been thinking about starting a small gold allocation (since before all this), would you think it's a good time to start DCA ing into Gold or wait for signals of a turnaround, and if so what would that look like?
I sold some of my stragglers for a loss, to offset some of my gains. And sold most of my consumer retail. Which I’ve been holding for 5+ years so it was still a pretty solid profit. But I didn’t like the short term outlook if there is excessive inflation from rising fuel costs. And then I put all of the proceeds of that into more tech stock (somewhat counterintuitive because it will be massively affected by rising fuel costs as well, but this was more of a long-term play) And then I put a bunch of Chevron stock right as a war happened, as well as UAE. As that ETF was on a tear before the war. I’m up about 12 or 13% on Chevron. I’ll probably be selling that pretty soon, and putting it into either VOO or QQQ.
If you cannot time the market, and time in the market is better than timing the market, then why are a bunch of you saying to not go all in and dca into over a few months? Either you don’t time the market and just buy SPY, VOO or QQQ; or you do and then what’s the point of buying now vs spreading over a few months guaranteed to either win or lose out of a crash/recovery. You’re just gambling with fancy acronyms at that point.
Could go lower given all the uncertainty and oil crisis likely leading to sticky inflation in the EU & US. If you'd panic at another round of sell-offs spread it out over a few weeks at least. Personally I'm looking to buy QQQ and I'm looking into markets in Asia (most heavily hit by the oil thing so should rebound on a positive resolution). Atm just got low exposure on gold and nat gas if this thing continues. Personally I'm more of a fan of: buy heavily in the weeks after something bad resolves instead of bottom fishing. I don't think anyone can find the exact bottom, but there's always between a few months to possibly a whole year of discounts (2022 Fed pivot) after a positive resolution. Bears won't insta-fold their positions. And if you want a good sell signal it's usually unqualified people talking about any asset on the news, but this is more of a vibes thing.
Unless you absolutely NEED to sell now, this does not matter. MSFT still overperformed QQQ in the past 99% of the time and good chance it will do it again. Just DCA
Your graph clearly shows Microsoft outperforming QQQ as of 2019.
I get that the underperformance is recent, but the graph is real and people would have more likely DCA'd into QQQ than MSFT at regular intervals.
Banbet! QQQ +1% 36h
QQQ puts and XLE/USO/BNO/UCO calls are free money at this point
Think of it like buying a house. A house is worth 300K but the seller listed for 1 million. Then gives it a 50% discount. It's still overpriced compared to how neighboring homes cost or how much you can get if you rent it out. Theres a lot for you to learn before buying individual stocks. I suggest buying QQQ
I been clapppping QQQ scalps lately, just straight murdering it. Slam the fuck out of it then turn off my pc
If it was just calls on QQQ it would be fine, but he has to deal with volatility decay/daily reset, not as bad for a 2x but very bad for a 3x, compounding losses which make it much harder for a 3x leveraged ETF to track the underlying. They're not designed to be held for years. Add to that options and the risks associated, and it's own decay, and it's just gonna end up being nonproductive. Not sure what his call breakeven is, but probably mid-60s, which means the QQQs will have to go to 680-700 just to breakeven. It's basically dead money.
Daily -2% of QQQ is just ridiculous.
Half of all your holdings should always in an index fund like VOO, VTI, SPY, or QQQ.
I’m not using stop loss for 0DTE. I’m entering these trades whether their calls or puts knowing that if I catch the wrong direction I could either be holding them for longer than I’m comfortable or end up with them expiring worthless. The majority of my close to expiration options are indices like QQQ or IWM. I’ve tried MSFT since it has 3x/week expiring options, but have been mostly on the wrong side of those trades.
VOO and QQQ have a considerable amount of overlap of 50%. If you are looking for a more growth/tech version of the S&P 500 vanguard has VOOG. https://www.etfrc.com/funds/overlap.php
Personally, I would split it into four $4500 buckets and focus on ETFs rather than specific stocks. Buy one bucket each of SPY and QQQ at market, shortly after the market opens to avoid surprises. Or place a limit order for at the Friday closing price, just to avoid surprise premarket jumps. Then place limit orders for 3-5% below that for the other two buckets of SPY and QQQ
Are my 4/2 QQQ 582 calls cooked?
unlikely... we go down another 5% on the QQQ then rebound lol
I believe holding both does not accomplish anything so I would not hold both. But I feel that QQQ, SPY even to a degree IWM are all basically the same investment. But I also believe in not holding more than a dozen or so equities total. And that includes ETFs.
So you think QQQ is going to 350? Where does that put GOOGL, META, MSFT, AMZN, TESLA, AMD and NVDA?
I already have a ban bet going but what my prediction is for QQQ, is first 495 then 425, and it's difficult to project past that, but there is a potential for 350ish levels count for there to be bounces at the first two levels though, this will be a 2022 controlled demolition. of course the danger is that the political climate gets extreme and the market becomes goes into panic in which case you don't have to worry about your portfolio you will be too busy with other stuff
I'm gonna try it Monday! wonder if QQQ has the same thing
I bought some VOO and QQQ
You’re not really “winning” here, you’re just offsetting losses with one big position That’s not a strategy, that’s imbalance The real risk isn’t tomorrow’s open It’s being this exposed to one side without a plan What’s your exit if QQQ reverses?
The bears can stay regarded longer than the market can stay regarded too. Wait, we're both regarded? Maybe the real dip was the friends we made along the way? (I am part of the community, QQQ 560p 5/1/26, SPY 670p 5/1/26, USO 118c 6/18/26, CVNA 300p (don't remember the date rn lol))
Why not QQQ? If your investment horizon is 25y, many things could happen to those companies. Unless your research on all of them is very thorough and You plan on following up, diversification is better, imho.
I’m short Carvana too, what’s your thesis other than it’s a scam company? I made like 4k off them already but I just opened it again on Friday. Also look at IWM puts think they’re gonna hit harder than QQQ
14 day RSI for both SPY and QQQ is below 30, which is usually a huge oversold signal
Yeah i been trying this but its hard to connect with like minded individuals. I dont really want to DM ppl bc i dont want it to come off as a scam or something. I recently made a video on a live trade explaining how i used VXX as a confluence with QQQ for an entries and breakouts in real time. Im thinking of posting it somewhere to gain some traction but not too sure. I have a discord that i started so im trying to stay consistent in there & be fully transparent. But i want it to be a community of individuals collaborating and educating
-50k and being balls deep writing CSPs on AVGO QQQ and NVDA
PE ratio of QQQ is “only” 30. Yes earnings can go down but it’s not at some insane valuation right now after the recent drop. Looks decent enough and I can average in further as the price continues to drop. In the dotcom bubble, many of the components were unprofitable and PE ratio was more like 80.
QQQ puts were a great trade. Everytime we climbed over 625 I've told my guys just keep loading 580 puts. Because it's going to hit 580 and when it breaks no logical buyers are stepping in until 560 👌. And well here we are. Trading doesn't need to be difficult. Retailers just like to make it difficult by using emotions, hopium, and groupthink instead of simple logic
It may recover but how long it will take to recover is the question. Like you could say the same thing about cisco but it took cisco over 20 years to reach new high again. While QQQ took like 14 years. Can you wait that long though?
My plan is to DCA into SPY/VOO/QQQ while also building a small cash reserve(which I always do). Then eventually I’ll hit up regular stocks and leveraged ETFs if the slaughter is great enough.
Exactly. I got some GOOGL and MSFT. I knew that they are solid companies, but I still hesitate to DAC into these. And thus I only DCA into the broad market ETFs. I don't know too much about the stocks that OP own, but DCA into them can be much riskier than DCA into QQQ / VOO.
Next time just do QQQ. Ok ?
Problem with SLV is speculative, one is hoping it pumps again… I would close it out and buy LEAPS on SPY or QQQ.
Stupidly overcomplicating it. This is just DCA with extra steps and more decisions. With SPY, QQQ, VIG, and GLD, simplicity usually wins. Lump sum or DCA and move on. Stop fucking with options for no good reason.
Definitely better leaving it in VTI and QQQ. Your portfolio is down 19% YTD S&P is down 7% YTD Nasdaq is down almost 10%. It's down 12% from it's 2026 highs.
hey just got back from a 3-day ban for apparent hate speech. QQQ was 590 when I left and 568 as I’m back did I call the top before the mother of all crashes
I tought its going to bounce so on Thursday I bought calls on QQQ, but got shattered. Learned my lesson and made it all back on Friday puts. This market is a hellride going bust just before our eyes
I bought XLK, SCHG, QQQ and VOO in different accounts. Also sold NVDA and META long-dated puts for nice premium and bought a META Dec 2028 LEAP call at $400 strike price. Meta at 16x forward earnings is a good buy, even with the recent legal setbacks.
QQQ has still got a lot further to fall, all this turmoil in the energy market is going to indirectly pop the AI bubble.
why wouldn't you just buy calls on QQQ? 3x leveraged ETFs are just supposed to be day traded because of volatility drag
🥭 has given apes opportunities of a lifetime. From the Liberation Day 100-500x baggers to the 100-300 bagger in the last hour when energy secretary fake pumped QQQ +1.5% in an hour. Also big baggers on TACO day after Greenland shitposting weekend. Do not blame 🥭 because you are a fucking regard who is too stupid to take advantage of MULTIPLE opportunities of a lifetime. Am I a regard? Yes because I am a poor who didn't successfully hit one of those plays. But I am not here blaming 🥭 for my own inability to make money like a lot of you bagholders here are.
Starting to think weekly QQQ calls weren’t the okay. Meant the play but w/e shits fucked
I should add, I only gamble with under 10% of my portfolio. As they say, don’t gamble what you cannot afford to lose. Everything else is boring VOO and QQQ DCA
Had VIX calls and QQQ puts expire worthless in January. Sick.
I have a QQQ 560 put 6/30. Should I sell on Mon or hold until expiration?
Same, I bought some QQQ, IWM, Hopefully dumo doesn't eff us.
But I'm not buying anything but QQQ puts and USO calls until we are done with the recession from the Iran conflict.
TQQQ won't trace QQQ in a volatile market due to daily rebalancing
Oh, you're inverting QQQ. That's smart. Hats off to you.
I'm officially all in on calls in QQQ and Gold. Wish me luck.
🥭 winkingly referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of 🥭.” lmfao.. 1st the currency signature, now the strait... the narcissism level is higher than SPY and QQQ ATH combined.
Expires in 2028 so I guess kinda smart. But what happens to triple leveraged ETFs long term? Seems like you should have just made calls on QQQ itself.
Is QQQ the right ETF that holds them all?
I bought a bunch of QQQ puts in mid-Feb (lucky timing I guess) to hedge my long positions which consists of mostly energy/commodity (yea!) and intl stocks (nah!). Otherwise 75% in cash. I did that because 1) This is a mid-term year and mid-term year usually suck (at least relatively speaking to other years) until Sep/Oct just before the election. 2) Energy and staples were outperforming tech for a few months, which tells us it is going risk-off. This saved me so far this year.
But you literally said, that TQQQ recovered from a 35% 1Y decline in QQQ. If it was a single day crash, TQQQ would have liquidated and closed immediately.
I think we finish here at NDX 20000, or about another -13% on QQQ. Maybe another 8-9% on SPY. We just dropped 11-12% from ATH. What’s not to say we easily do another leg down before real capitulation sets in? There is no good news right now. Not even the long-awaited fed cut is going to inject anything meaningful to the market in the short run. We have no saving face exit out of this war when this administration has counterintuitively confused escalation as a means to encourage any off-ramp. Meanwhile, valuations continue to compress. The AI trade unwinds. Inflation isn’t going away, actively being fueled by energy costs. Even if the war were to end tomorrow because of taco, the structural deficits to the economy remain.
Either one, just make sure to use the cheat code for it…ask yellow to truth a lie about the war being over …and boom back to 630 QQQ in 3 mins.
No Prob... and that would be SQQQ(-3x) Nasdaq100. Now that's the stuff I play with. Put QQQ, TQQQ & SQQQ on 1 year chart together. And then think of a Midget, see anything weird?
the Weekly RSI on $QQQ currently at 10. April 2025 lows was about 9. Getting close?
After hitting its dot com high in 2000, QQQ went down over 80% over a period of 2 1/2 years and did not recover its 2000 highs for about 15 years. Weird things happen and they can happen again and again and again.
so my QQQ $600 calls 4/17 are entirely ruined? i am currently down 75%
Options and expiration change the calculus for sure, although my comment was more in relation to delisting. Although in 2022 QQQ dropped 35% and TQQQ did eventually recover. Even before TQQQ broke its ATH, if you started DCAing into it at the peak in 2021, in less than 3 years that simple strategy performed better than the same in QQQ (tqqq dropped almost 80% in 2022).
I bought QQQ 680 3/30 pest for me
And way lower liquidity so typically worse gains/losses than just QQQ
This reminds me years back of the one time I tried playing a bunch of tech calls about a month out vs. weeklies and it happened to be a day when QQQ went from +2.5% to -2.5% intraday. Got rekt like 25% across the board though at least wasn't rekt like 90-100% like if I was on weeklies. But it felt just as stupid.
Derivatives on leverage aren't more volatile than derivatives on non-leverage. It's literally the same as QQQ. You can look up the data.
2026 Market ETFs SPY -7.04% QQQ -8.42% DJI -6.03% IWM -1.24%
QQQ and SPY contain a lot of distressed companies that have unhealthy balance sheets for prolonged supply issues though. Better to just pick and choose winners who barely care about oil IMO. Like LLY for example.
I am short USO and the QQQ. Hedging perfection. I can't win.
What do you expect SPY and QQQ to go to next open?
I didn't sell and I'm expecting to get fucked next week Just give me one dumbass Monday pump to exit QQQ, I'll roll with the rest of the portfolio as-is
