Those aren't Internet shortcuts, they're ticker symbols. The standard advice on this sub (and in passive investing more broadly) is "VT and chill," meaning "Put money in VT (Vanguard Total World stock ETF) every month and never touch it." Don't "trade," especially don't day-trade, don't try to time the market, because even people with all the public information in the world and full-time jobs doing market research fail 80% of the time to beat the market, so what makes you think you're smarter and more competent than the professionals? You can substitute VOO for VT if you want to be US-only. (Whether that advice is still valid now with Trump actively engaging in market-moving corruption and selling early access to his posts is another matter beyond the scope of this reply.) SCHD and VYM are both dividend-based funds. They contain less (but not none) of the high-flying growth stocks, and more of stocks that have a fairly stable cash flow. So, MAYBE they will drop less than VT, VOO or (Chaos forbid) QQQ if/when the AI bubble pops. They MIGHT do better than VT or VOO over the next year or two, if there really is an AI correction (which may or may not happen). But they'll probably grow less over the long term, and they're more subject to "tax drag" due to constant dividend income. So, I'm just making a joke about alternate advice that MIGHT suit you if you are sure there is a big AI crash coming. Don't come crying to me if/when my advice turns out to be wrong, because it was worth exactly what you paid me for it! No one seems to have found my joke funny. (I will admit that I sold some target date funds and bought VOO, SCHD and VYM recently, but only because I was mad at NASDAQ for being such whores to Elon and wanted to minimize my participation in the SpaceX index purchase scam. Also, I'm old (near retirement) so switching from growth to dividend stocks may not be quite as much of a mistake as it would be for someone young. But it may indeed be a mistake. We'll see if I get lucky.)

QQQ FIANLLY BLOWING ITS ALPHA LOAD :chad:
QQQ for straight Nasdaq exposure has been solid this year -- tech earnings season played out better than the tariff dread suggested. Beyond the obvious ones: SCHD for dividend growth, COWZ (cash-flow weighted, screens out junk balance sheets) has quietly been a nice complement to pure growth. And for international exposure without the currency headaches of individual ADRs, VXUS is genuinely underrated right now given dollar weakness. One thing I find useful is keeping a live view of the ETFs you hold so you can see them move in real-time alongside the market. I run MarketCast on my TV -- Fire TV / Android TV / Apple TV app -- just lets you see your watchlist ticking all day without being stuck to a phone screen.
I looked away for a bit and QQQ is now red, great.
Burry has taken massive, headline-grabbing short positions in recent years—including puts on the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and Nvidia that he ultimately closed out or abandoned after the market kept rallying against him. Burry’s famous advice in January 2023 was a single word tweet: "Sell." The market proceeded to embark on one of the strongest mega-tech rallies in history. In late 2023, he took out massive put options against SPY and QQQ, only to quietly liquidate them at a loss a few months later as the market made historic new highs.

You do not need a lot of ETFs. It is best to use ETFs for broad market exposure, like VOO and QQQ. Then you can buy a few individual stocks to fill in.
QQQ back in the mentions chart, nice
A dotcom-like pump today would mean QQQ 720 to 3500 in 6 months. Imagine that
whaaaaat you mean that 25% increase on QQQ per year is too much?

Man, throw half into QQQ and the other half in VTI and retire. Live off the 10-20% per year. Move your residence to Florida or Texas for no income tax. Live on a 6 figure income in perpetuity
I appreciate you taking the time and trying to help, but I don't use these charts for a reason. Besides knowing my breakeven already with mental math they have a huge flaw, do you actually find it helpful? Not trying to be rude genuinely interested. I'm only explaining this because I'm guessing that you want to understand the trade better? Sorry if I'm making an inaccurate assumption. I already own the 100 shares of MU. I sell covered calls so I only use round lots ( 100 ), you can't write a CC without 100. Not to mention mathematically while it can be done I think putting on a hedge when you don't own 100 shares of the underlying is inefficient. If it was me I would be deploying into sector specific ETFs if I didn't have the capital to go into the single stocks. I'm very fortunate to be in a position where I am able to buy the stocks outright 100 shares at a time, and I think being able to do this completely changes the game. I think the profit / loss diagram is not very helpful, all these tools treat trades as a set it and forget it rather than a position to be managed. Rolling and managing positions seems to get a bad rap, but on stocks like MU you're not crossing the bid ask spread that much, and with walked limit orders you are getting filled at the midpoint / slightly better. Not managing doesn't make sense to me. If the downside hedge becomes worthless due to a melt up you roll it up to lock in a new synthetic floor, taking advantage of volatility to lock in your gains. Simultaneously when the short body is tested you roll it down and out. I would probably roll the short body and the long wing together to keep another hedge in place, eg try moving the short puts to 840 and the long put from 780 to 800. Go for a net credit, compress them closer together when tested. I'm looking to do things like model if it's better to compress the puts closer together or if it's more optimal to move the short body as far down as possible. There doesn't seem to be anyway to simulate this and various strategies / scenarios. I'm looking for ways to model this management, as well as any research papers or resources in ways to model different ratios and ways to take advantage of the volatility surface, best practices to optimize the hedge ( rolling up at 5 or 10%), va keeping the wing of the protective puts in place and simply rolling the short puts up to create another BWB at the higher strike. EG the old 980 long put becomes the new wing of a BWB at let's say 1200 long / 1080 x 2 Short rolled from 860 / keep the 980 and 780 long puts in place. Likewise I want to see how this strategy would have worked on the QQQ and different ways to manage / change the ratios. My statistical analysis capability is above average, but I was terrible at linear algebra. I'm not able to model the Variance-Covariance of the strategy. Thank you again for taking the time to respond, let me know if I can clarify anything.
Does feel like we’re due for another leg up looking at QQQ calls myself
