QQQ

Honest question by why is reddit so VOO instead of QQQ?

Lokoto123

I need some non retard advice, Right now I’m thinking of committing 100% of my Roth IRA($7K will max out every year) to SCHG(a bit more diversified from QQQ but still aggressive) 80% of my taxable brokerage to SCHB and 20% to SCHV ($24K in total $2K/mo). No international exposure as I just can’t get behind it right now, might add in as my capital increases and I can invest more. 23 YO with a 42 year time horizon, thinking of setting and forgetting with this mix. Thoughts? Also I’ll ofc buy 0DTE spy calls/puts with the gambling account

why does every chart I look at show QQQ's P/E ratio nowhere near the dotcom era and even down in the past year?

Any-Development5656

genuine question. What are your thoughts on QQQ. tomorrow after the blood bath on friday?

JanetYellenNudes

If QQQ up googl down no? Basically SNVDA at this point

trout19

Why are we up??? That's it I'm going full port into QQQ calls

College_finals

Small rally Monday. QQQ might retest 617 or retest 611

PandaCalves

Yep...and both silver and platinum have outperformed gold! In fact, all of the precious metals have handily outperformed NVDA, SMH, QQQ, and VT YTD. Like I noted below, my initial commodity positions were a hedge...but the hedge has become the trade.

According-Page8618

bears losing a QQQ -0,4% lead lol

TickTockTaudit

I hedged my tech calls with QQQ calls and I hedged my QQQ calls with space trade calls and I hedged my space calls with HOOD calls. 🧠

Don't worry regards, there will be Santa Rally; that's for QQQ from 575 to 590.

I'm a beary bear bear, but even I put a few bucks on QQQ calls tomorrow, there's always a bounce

Tomorrow is gonna be bloody, thankfully I have some QQQ short positions 🫡

Grimtongues

Buffer and barrier ETFs underperform the index most of the time, and they only provide limited downside protection. These Innovator funds use put spreads on the index ETFs SPY & QQQ. So, if the market drops 30%, you are still fucked. As someone else pointed out, you could sell OTM Put credit spreads on QQQ and then buy shares of QQQ (hedged with puts) for a much better risk/reward profile, especially in the event of a market crash.

Seattleman1955

I read but generally ignore reports like that. I've been in QQQ for years and it has paid off. I also have BTC and it has paid off. I keep however much in a money market fund as makes sense for my plans. Over the last 10 years VT return is 148% and QQQ is 458%.

Aggravating_Mix_5737

For anyone confused about where to see futures. It’s not that bad QQQ is down 3.4% SPY is down 2.7% I’m hoping maybe we only fall to the first circuit breaker tomorrow. But yeah market is honestly in decent shape

Wowmuchrya

QQQ during the day maybe, but futures and crypto are still closely related. But lately it's been crypto following futures instead of futures following crypto so who knows.

andytobbles

Bitcoin and QQQ have completely decoupled.

Btc down 2% / 3 = QQQ futures = -0.7% calculated... I feel like it should be /2

CarrierAreArrived

SPY is essentially tech now... but even if you take QQQ, only \~3.5% off ATH. BTC does not have a high correlation at the moment w/ equities.

csr8765

QQQ up 20% YTD. XLK up 23% YTD. BTC and ETH down 7-10% YTD. NVDA is also up 30% YTD. There is no correlation.

Shaquillee-Oatmeal

Would VOO or QQQ be good options?

MaxwellSmart07

A good example is eschewing tech over the last decade and holding small cap and international hoping they will get off life support. That international has done well in 2025 is of little consolation for all the lost years. Same goes for “VOO and chill” when QQQ returned more than 2x.

DefiantDelta

it’ll be december 28th and QQQ at 550 and bulls will still be in here droning on about a “santa rally” lol

greyenlightenment

much better than those losers who say bear market when QQQ down .25%

pigeon_shit

Reconsidering the weekly corn DCA I set up for my daughters future. Pivot to QQQ?

drakilian

The S&P on its own is 37% up from April's lows. QQQ is 45%. If you bought at April lows you did not actually outperform the indexe in the same timeframe.

papakong88

One can use margin with the Wheel to be more efficient in utilizing capital. It can also be used to lower the risk. Let’s say we want to use the Wheel to sell a Jan 9 QQQ 598 put for 6.80. The collateral needed is 59,800. Delta is 0.30. If we use margin and sell a naked put instead, the collateral required is only 7,800. Assuming we put aside an equal amount for a possible increase in collateral, the capital required is 15,600 which is much less than that required for a CSP. If we sell 2 naked 580 puts for 3.60 each, we can get 7.20. Now the collateral is different at 6,000 each. So the total is 24,000 if we put aside money. The delta of the put is 0.17.  We have produced the same income as a CSP with less capital and a lower delta. 

SecretaryAncient8923

Everything breaks, I have answered your question. Now what you choose to do with that information is up to you. I know what I am doing with this new discovery that I made. If you choose to diversify I know that I will make more than you in 10, 20 ,and 30 years dollar to dollar. The Charts do not lie, Fund and ETF comparison do not lie. There are only 2 funds so far that I have found that beat the QQQ, and we do not have access to those funds. I hope that you and everyone that reads this does the research because we are all on here to learn how to make more money. So, fly baby birds, fly.

SunriseSurprise

Exactly. Anyone playing individuals vs. SPY/QQQ and their offshoots is asking to get reamed.

Accomplished-Dig1100

TQQQ follow this startegy. You know fibonacci sequence right? so buy 1 share of TQQQ when it hits 50$ and 1 more at 48, 2 at 46, 3 at 44, 5 at 42, 8 at 40, 13 at 38 and so on. Now sell the 90% of shares brought at +2 price .9 share brought at 50 at 52 and .9(48) share at 50, 1.8(46) at 48, 2.7(44) at 46, 7.2(42) at 44 and so on what you gonna do with 10%? save it till TQQQ hits all time high and sell all of it together. To execute it precisely code it your self on Python with “robin-stocks” package. Other Stocks which you can do the similar is SPYU(2 or 1.5$ intervals as its price moment is slow), SPXL(5$ intervals) Why 3x or 4x leverage? Because QQQ is a very relevant ETF which has high growth potential and its very volatile. It can tank quickly and vice versa. It has to fall when it hits ATH and it has to rise when it hits ATL. timing TQQQ is very hard this fibonacci Sequence buy gives you pretty good DCA. Cons : you need to buy 987 shares @ 18$, 1597 @ 16$, 2584 @ 14$ and 4181 @ 12$. You gonna buy 10945 shares when TQQQ drops from 50$ to 12$. Now look at the weighted average so you gonna buy 10945 shares @ 18$ on average which sums upto 200k$ I did this using 22k (brought .1 shares instead of 1 share and subsequently divide all finonacci numbers by 10 and made roughly 32400$ selling 80% shares at 2$ high and remaining 20% at ATH @110 ) april this year before TQQQ split on 5$ interval starting from 100$. I wanna do this on 10x scale as I am doing it on .1 scale.

drbigtoe

Ok but spy will rotate bad companies out and bring good companies in. Same with QQQ. So you always have exposure to the best of the best. It’s insane to think that just because a lot of people buy VOO it is going to drop or stagnate

SecretaryAncient8923

I cannot express anymore clearly than I already have. if you take the time to do chart comparisons you will see that you only need QQQ. If you are interested in Investing and maximizing your overall gains over the life of your Investing time line you will see the charts will show the vast difference between QQQ and ALL other ETF's. I have multiple accounts that I am collecting data on. I recently discovered this myself and I am slowly converting a sizable portion of my account to QQQ stocks. I am taking my own advice. Please Please take the time and do chart comparisons on various time lines. Enjoy Investing, Enjoy Trading and keep making gains!!

I mainly trade TQQQ. Sometimes SOXL. Wheeling for income after ULTY revealed itself to be utter garbage. CSPs on SPY and QQQ require too much cash reserves.

My target Portfolio is: -50% Cash, 100% QQQ, 33% SPY, 7% QBUF, 2.5% NFEB, 2.5% NMAY, 2.5% NAUG, 2.5% NNOV (I was too lazy to do 0.8% in each of the months). - [YTD Comparison with Nasdaq and S&P](https://imgur.com/KfG7s5D). - This is just one of my accounts) I'm also running buffers on one of my IRAs. 87% QQQ, 8% QBUF, 5% N-series. Performance is in between S&P and Nasdaq, but with movements similar to S&P, [look at the graph of the last 3 months.](https://imgur.com/KUUmx5E) - It's only 3 months, but the performance makes sense.

QQQ all day long. Not even sure how i even ran across this but yea the Q's for sure

BumpeeJohnson

So the majority of your portfolio is QQQ, you use box spreads as "loans" that give you the funds needed to buy downside protection ETFS. I sincerely appreciate the response, utilizing box spreads for funding and the Sortino Ratio were completely new to me before this comment. Much better information than "VOO and chill"

Boys4Ever

Keep it simple. QQQ and SOXX and stop sweating the small stuff. Leveraged options of these if actively traded how I roll.

betcho

i'm borrowing at 4% via SPX box spreads so it's not too expensive. In short, leveraging allows me to have a higher expected cagr than 100% QQQ (QQQ is about 2/3 of the portfolio), while allowing me to rebalance in years where QQQ drops. - It improves portfolio Sortino Ratio significantly (which is what I care about the most). - Basically: QQQ returned 20% in a year? My buffers that I borrowed at 4% will return 14% or so (the horror) (minus mgmt. fees). - QQQ returned 10% in a year? I'll get the full appreciation (minus mgmt. fees) - QQQ returned 0%? Oh well, stay the course, part of investing. - QQQ returned -10%? buffer protects me and I rebalance into QQQ. - QQQ returned -20-30%? buffer protects me still, I rebalance into QQQ, and I borrow some more to buy more.

Junior-Appointment93

Agree. I lost a lot with learning options. Now I discovered butterfly options today. They look promising. I may try a 0DTE on either SPY or QQQ. Just need to time it right. Congrats on your win.

BosSF82

Better off in QQQ if you’re so AI heavy. Better downside protection.

Good_Ride_2508

Unfortunately, this is not mathematically right. Process => It stabilizes psychology, mind is disturbed by volatility, by having a process, we pacify the mind free from disturbance. That is all process does. Price => That gives a clear edge on return of invested capital. ROIC at $100/shar is lower than $75/share. My friend bought AAPL in 1998-2000 and holding now. He claims that he is better than buffet, return on invested capital. His cost basis is 23 cents => [https://imgur.com/y48vu5A](https://imgur.com/y48vu5A) Based on my analysis, better to buy/hold VOO or QQQ, when market dipped 20%, sell some VOO or QQQ and stocks which can grow long, esp top 20 companies of SPX at that time (Say mag7).

Various_Couple_764

it is a resky way to make money. If you pay close attention to your portfolio it can work. But most people don't want to focus that much time on it. In the end it is just a way to make money. There are funds that use covered calls (a type of option) on the S&P500 and pay a dividend. SpYI is one and it has a yearly yield of 11%with monthly payouts. QQQI cells covered calls on the Nasdaq 100 index (QQQ). It has a yield of 13%. So 100K in QQQI will generate 1K of income a month. Covered calls cap the growth of the index by converting growth into dividends. If you don't want to use 0ptions there are many dividned funds with good yields. ARDC, EMO, and PBDC all have a yield of 9% PFFa and CLOZ have a yield of 8%. Buy inviting in these and some covered call funds I now have a monthly income of 5K a month from simply holding the stock of these funds. I don't closely monitor them. I treat them just like growth index [funds.Buy](http://funds.Buy),hold , ignore.

IndeedNot1

Alright regards so what's the consensus on what's going to happen Monday? Here's my thesis btw: QQQ is going to bounce at the 612 resistance, it is also quite a bit oversold, which should lead to a good bullish continuation going into Christmas Also stonks go up

GoZukkYourself

There is a little start up called QQQ that I'm interested in.

PapaCharlie9

If you think pass bets are for suckers due to streaks, LAY the 4 for $40 after the come out and bet $5 on Hard 4 for insurance. If an easy 4 comes, you lose the full $47 (maybe $46 if the dealer gives you a discount on the vig), but if it's a hard 4, you only lose $7. Even less if its a table where they only take vig if you win. If you win, you net $13. There's no equivalent to establishing a point for trading options. Best you can do is translate the odds of whatever craps strategy you are using (which will all be -ev, since craps doesn't have a +ev strat like blackjack or poker) and map that onto the delta of a QQQ call. Say you are placing 6 and 8 after the come out only. That's about a 62.5% probability of profit on average. So you'll want to buy a call that is as close to 0.625 delta as possible. The call should have a near-term expiration, like a week or less, so that delta is a reasonable approximation of probability of profit. That only matches the win rate of the craps strat (more or less), not the payout structure. It's impossible to make the option payout equal to the craps payout. There's no accounting for luck.

PracticalAnywhere225

What are the chances QQQ gaps up to 623 over the weekend? (I need QQQ to gap up to 623 over the weekend)

fungoodtrade

Do you calculate the delta dollars of your portfolio daily? I know every day what the delta of my portfolio is and depending on the micro and macro I will hedge accordingly. You can keep some of your strategy, but if you aren't offsetting your delta you are going to get handed a big bag of shit one day. For a new trader you are playing with a lot of money and I'm not sure you really understand the difference between a stick, gunpowder, and a nuclear bomb. if you are on ibkr, just add the delta dollars column to your port, shift + win + s your portfolio or export it to a file, have chat gpt calculate your delta dollars or calculate it yourself. If you are leveraged more than 1.3x or so and aren't hedging then you are just biding time until you get smacked. chat gpt can calculate your projected loss on a 1, 2, 5% index move, so I think if you check the delta dollars of your port today... run it through chat gpt with a copy of your portfolio... you will know exactly where you stand. Its obvious that you are running a really high positive delta from what you've said. You can hedge that positive delta with various instruments. Short MNQ, MES, OTM QQQ puts, OTM SPY puts, Individual ticker OTM puts, I'm running pretty delta neutral rn, slightly positive, but the things I'm holding are 100% high conviction. I'm even buying puts on them every time they hit the top of their range. If you are extremely delta positive in this market... I'd actually advise to carefully reevaluate that stance. Get to close to neutral and then reexplore your strategy slowly would be my actual two cents. Just shit I've already had to learn... because options really are a stick, a hand grenade, and a nuclear bomb.

APJ30

I would allocate 70% of the portfolio on wheeling index funds like SPY/QQQ/IWM and 30% on good quality, slightly high IV names like TSLA, NVDA, NFLX etc. (all cash secured)

pka7

You can mix and match between TSLA, NVDA, MSFT, QQQ, SPY depending on how they are behaving. TSLA prob has the best premiums of this but obv the riskiest as well.

Rico_Pobre

Why not just sell CSPs on the indexes that you want to buy, like VOO and/or QQQ and start taking positions with the premium earned, until assignment?

I love to see this. Similar situation yesterday - $3k Play/Puts on QQQ from the beginning of Market Hours. Unfortunately....I got out 30mins later, once my play hit 100% 😂. There was no indication the stocks would go straight to heĺl the way they did - so I settled for the profit of 100%/3k, and called it a morning (out by 10am, today was a good day). Had i held until at least 12pm - I'd of made 20k-30k from the same play 😅. The FOMO hit hard, but still grateful I was on the right side of things yesterday. Congratulations again - for some its pocket change, and for others its life-changing money - from your post I can tell youre not used to these type of wins, which makes it even better seeing the "little guys" win ✊🏾. Enjoy your bread, and be safe.

gummibearhawk

Sell 5 contracts if SPY/QQQ daily. Payout varies by strike, but you could get strikes with pretty low chance of assignment and still get $20 each or $100/ day.

austin5549

I tried the same thing bro. Prob lost twice that or more and took even longer to realize I would have been better off in $VOO or $QQQ this whole time…

SecretaryAncient8923

What do you consider Long-Term? if it is 10 years or more, then just put it all in the QQQ. Nothing beats it and the only funds or ETF's that you have aceess to that come close own the QQQ or stocks in the QQQ. Research long-term charts, the charts dont lie. Diversifying out of the QQQ will cost you millions over 30 years. QQQ opened March 10 1999, If you had invested $100 on that date into the QQQ and made no other contributions the value today would be nearly $40,000. If you had investe $100 into the S&P 500 on the same date and made no other contributions the valu today would be nearly $850.00, That is a $39,000 difference. Yes the draw downs are huge, but if you are actually Investing LONG-TERM.... well... nothing else needs to be said.

MaybeTheDoctor

1. QQQ or QQQT 2. VOO or SPY 3. VT Split the money between them like 1/3 for each or 1/4 for two and 1/2 for another. Dividends ETF is for income, like in retirement, avoid those if you are looking for long term. If this is overwhelming then consider using at target date fund instead - like one listed [here](https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/target-retirement-funds) matching your expected retirement year and they will do the work for you. You don’t need a vanguard account to buy a vanguard fund.

Machine8851

QQQI gives you the best of both worlds, the choice to use the income monthly is reinvest the dividends plus the covered calls funds you downside protection which QQQ would not provide. If performs better than VT and VOO

-Crash_Override-

Comments like this are so wildly stupid, and frankly irrelevant. What even is the 'AI trade', and why would you compare a subset of stocks to a broad markwt ETF? The whole point of a fund is that you accecept the winners and the losers to get steady returns. Why dont you compare the last 6mo of the 'AI trade' (again, whatever the fuck that actually is - we will assume this to mean 'tech' broadly), and the past 10 years....invesco QQQ for example. 6mo: ~16% 1yr: ~22% 10yr: 486% Tech growth remains strong, as it should, its the US flagship industry, but while there are certainly a few overvalued companies, on the macro, we are far from bubble territory, especially given AI has barely even left the runway.

I just bought about 30k IREN at $40. My thesis is bullish on model improvement driving compute demand over the next 5 years. Expecting energy crunch around '27 where IREN will have more runway than the rest from vertical energy integration. A lot of the labor and materials are already experiencing a crunch and players who try to wait will have trouble building in a timely manner. I'd say sell and buy QQQ. Based on this post, regardless of where IREN ends up I have a feeling you'll end up panic selling on a loss.

Same, I thought with the AVGO good earning, market will rally, but instead it crash. I mean SPY only went down 1%, but QQQ went down 2-3%. Brutal day

NVDA is traded more volume than SPY/QQQ combined. I believe companies are profiting more from writing options on NVDA and it’s not really going anywhere.

Then why wouldn’t OP by QQQ calls instead lol SPY is hardly down

CherryRoutine9397

TQQQ is a leveraged trading tool, not a buy and hold investment. The leverage resets daily, so volatility drag kills returns over long periods. It looks amazing in strong bull runs, but one bad year can wipe out years of gains. In 2022 it dropped around 80 percent while QQQ was down far less. If you’re investing long term and adding regularly, QQQ gives you the growth without the structural risk. TQQQ only really makes sense for short term bets when you’re confident about direction and can manage risk actively. For most people, most of the time, QQQ wins just by letting compounding do its job.

PalpitationSmooth992

equal weight S&P had more volume after hours than SPY and QQQ its not going to be a merry christmas for tech and mag 7

sirzoop

I would go for QQQ personally but the math suggests TQQQ is better despite convention wisdom saying it shouldn’t be. Somewhat related im a big fan of this TQQQ for the long term symphony but its different than just holding QQQ/TQQQ it trades in and out of short positions/volatility as well: https://app.composer.trade/symphony/eZUUQti4WC4WNd5Jb2Yv/details

Look into it but with caution, for reference.

But my gut told me, today was gonna be a Red Day again for the Market, and that QQQ would just keep dropping - heavily, as it did). I just say that to stress caution. It was Perfect up until that speech - but, I'm still keeping it in my back pocket going into Week 3 - just be cautious and dont YOLO your whole port on the first attempt 😂, please 👍🏾.

I mean, I went long on IBM back in 2022 at $125 and I certainly haven't looked back. I didn't even buy IBM for quantum at the time it was for the dividends. It's outperforming QQQ in my portfolio by about 3x since I bought it. Never planning on selling.

QQQI has underperformed QQQ. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3sYY3T7V8k&t=605s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3sYY3T7V8k&t=605s) Covered call funds WILL underperform their underlying equity over the long term, almost as a rule.

Not sure why you just don’t give yourself at least a week….. if QQQ went up 2% up Monday 7DTE contract would up 25%, but you you decided to play 1DTE, THST +2% move would still down 50%.

Crazy day today. The volume on QQQ/SPY is high too. So it wasnt another dump but last time it dump with very big volume it then pump again the next day. Let's hope (lol) it will happen again next week.

95Daphne

Think QQQ fills today's gap by EoY at the latest. But anything more than 629/630? It's fairly clear that is STOP, DO NOT PASS, territory, the Nasdaq has set its key top for at least probably nine-ish months.

95Daphne

It's just my opinion as I continue to whine, but I think the continued limp into 2025 end deal is the more likely outcome from Monday and then everyone sells the OpenAI linked tech names for tax purposes early next year and the full Nasdaq correction we've threatened finally transpires. I think QQQ tries to fill this gap by the end of this year at the latest.
