QQQ

Honestly idk what to think, there's probably still a decent chance QQQ winds up with a -1% on the day. Need to watch imaginary money/b word here. If it stays weak, US stocks will probably remain weak.

Didn't QQQ drop 1.5% overnight? Why are we pumping back?

MasterpieceLiving738

Wild gap down. I think we bounce from here for sure, this is a support zone for SPY and QQQ and the market has already hit extreme fear.

Old-Chemistry-7050

“So today we all know there is an AI bubble” - I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you. There are overvalued stocks like Tesla for sure, many big AI stocks are expensive but not insanely frothy. “I’m considering taking a small long-term put position against a company” - And what exactly makes you think you are the genius that’s gonna get it right exactly? If you want to take an option position just get some LEAPs on QQQ

Just dont do options and you are fine 🤷‍♂️ QQQ still up 15% ytd and SPY still up 10%

WTF..IWM, SPY, QQQ are movig like Meme stocks...Now Crypto seems less volatile than the stock market.

Fuck this I was gonna full port $JNUG but now I'm gonna do $QQQ poots 😤

Secure_Dog3810

1.6% drop on QQQ with no significant news coming out overnight is pretty insane

KanedaSyndrome

But after the crash people would divest from QQQ and put it in the leftovers after the crash no? the winners? So it may be that QQQ took 10 years to recover, but ideally people weren't in it all that time?

KanedaSyndrome

But individual stocks were probably down much further - having been in this QQQ meant you could buy back into the left over winners from the dotcom crash? The giants of today.

drakilian

Silver spikebhasbbeen largely motivated by increased tech demand. So silver futures have also been following tech stocks/QQQ pretty closely. Tech up days are silver up days, and often vice versa. It is not looking like today is goong to be a tech up day, unfortunately.

BackgroundArtist9883

You know it's a full meltdown when both Stable stocks like BRK, QQQ, SPY are down at the same time as the meme stocks. Rebalancing my ass...more like rebalancing for a crash (WE DIDN'T CONSENT TO)!

The top for QQQ was 610. The run is losing steam at the same time trade war escalating. China started it and they don't back down. This is the pivot from a bull to a bear market (or at least a heavy correction). If any of you are leveraged you're going to get liquidated just in time for santa.

thank fuck i decided against buying the dip on 1dte SPY and QQQ calls yesterday

swatsnoopy

I'm over kicking myself over losing 615 bucks because I forgot I bought 0DTE QQQ call when I woke up and passed out. When I woke up again I went to work and completely just let it expire. 1st time ever buying a 0DTE too. This makes me feel better so thank you for your loss, good sir. Stay regarded.

throwaway996120

It has to go down 5% or 10% before it does 20% - this bloody market won’t even go down 3% before it bounces back… it won’t go up and it won’t go down. QQQ stuck at 600 for an eternity

Galaxy_AI

I am planning to do that right. I already bought $6K worth of PUTS on TSM and $8K worth of puts on AMD (Totally a piece of shit stock). I am holding some QQQ puts. All are 3 to 6 months out. Once I close this positions, I will put money into German and Chinese stocks.

DripPixels

That happened to me the last two days. Was up $44 on $SPY yesterday and it reversed on me and I lost $100 hoping it would go back up. Today the same happened to me with $QQQ but I lost $40 this time.

ohloveandtruth

I just spent the past couple of hours researching this after being bombarded with an insane amount of mail from Invesco. It felt like that scene from Harry Potter where Hogwarts is trying to get in touch with Harry, except instead of being invited to attend a magical wizarding school I'm being told to proxy vote on three proposals for the future of my hard earned muggle money investments. Almost as fun... Below is my rationale for why I voted the way I did. Proposals #2 and #3 are dependent on Proposal #1 passing (ie: if Proposal #1 to change the classification doesn't pass, the other two proposals don't matter regardless of how folks vote on them). I truly believe the one big positive from the Gamestop shitstorm was showing a large group of individuals organising and speaking as one makes an impact and can compete with the Goliath institutional investors. **TLDR: It's very much in Invesco's best interests if we vote "For" Proposal 1, Invesco has the most to gain if Proposal 1 passes while we shareholders have a 2bps fee reduction to gain. I voted "For" on Proposal 1, voted individually on Trustees on Proposal 2, and voted "Against" for Proposal 3 to send a message to Invesco: Come back with a better deal for your shareholders if you want us to sign on. You clearly spent millions on outreaching us, obviously you want this deal. Don't insult us with 2bps chump change.** **Proposal 1:** Changing QQQ's classification from a unit investment trust (“UIT”) to an open-end management investment company. Pro: Would reduce fees by 2bps. Con: Like others have already pointed out, why not more? I voted "For" on this because it would ultimately benefit us. But looking at the other large open-end large ETS their fees range from 3 to 9bps (exception being Russell's IWF at 18bps), so wtf is Invesco doing wasting our time and killing all these trees to come to us with a pitiful 2bps reduction to 18?! Seriously, I almost voted "Against" because it's so freaking insulting Invesco blew so much money on this campaign just to treat us like idiots. source from Strategas Research Partners, 09/09/2025: https://www.riskbridgeadvisors.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/qqq.png.webp **Proposal 2:** Electing 9 individual Trustees to replace the current Trustee (a bank). Invesco auto-selected for us to vote "For" across the board. That really rubbed me the wrong way and I spent a good chunk of my time investing all the individual trustees to make my own selection. In a capitalist society, money is power and it's about dang time I use my hard earned muggle dollars to make however small an impact I possibly have. Below is how I selected for the Trustees, feel free to DM me for my rationale or even better, research this yourself to make an informed decision: Ronn R. Bagge: Withhold Todd J. Barre: For Brian Hartigan: For Victoria J. Herget: For Marc M. Kole: Withhold Yung Bong Lim: For Joanne Pace: For Gary R. Wicker: For Donald H. Wilson: Against **Proposal 3:** Invesco is proposing to serve as the Trust’s investment adviser. This for me is the kicker, if they want this to happen, come back to us with something better. I think this is how we can send the message "Naw, we ain't there yet. Don't insult us, work a little harder on this if you want it." I voted "Against" for Proposal 3 for all the reasons I explained above. I believe we shareholders can get a lot better deal and this is our chance to achieve it. If we blindly vote "For" on all three proposals, we've lost our voice and the Goliaths will have their chance to pull the strings behind the scenes while we get a pathetic 2bps reduction, which to be clear will the be HIGHEST fee of the large open-end ETFs. F**k Invesco, do better by your shareholders if you're going to be mailing and calling me *EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.*

Halloween expiration QQQ 550p

its_probably_wine

I’ve not paid much attention to QQQ, to be fair, but SPY moves the past few days have been pretty bonkers. I’m new to this options game so maybe it’s just my inexperience, but good gravy - the swings! I’ll start looking the QQQ direction as well, though. Thanks!

AdApart9610

Do a put on QQQ?

SnooBooks8807

Yep. It’s basically income trading. Hopefully I’ll be able to live completely off this strategy within the next 5 years. I was hedging this strategy by buying weekly SQQQ calls because on a down day SQQQ would go up triple what QQQ drops, but I haven’t been doing this for a few months because QQQ has been a rocketship. Hedging is a double edged sword. It’s great when your main position drops, but it cuts into your money when the market is booming.

SnooBooks8807

Yes downside is technically unlimited. I profit 100% at EOD on either a Green Day or flat day, and I profit less than 100% on a slightly down day because sometimes the theta decay is enough to override price going down *a little*. On big red days I roll down and out. I’ve had to roll a few times on consecutive red days but that’s not bad because every time I roll it’s for a more expensive option, which means whenever a Green Day eventually happens, I BTC, collecting whatever premium that rolled option provides, and then start all over the next day with a brand new 0dte atm short put. I prefer QQQ for the dailies. Daily expires give my strategy an edge. I prefer QQQ over SPY because the premiums are bigger due to its volatility. QQQ moves more than SPY almost 100% of the time. It goes higher when it’s “bullish” and drops lower when “bearish”. How do you trade your strategy?

TestingLifeThrow1z

How would you diversify a "life savings" account if an "emergency fund" that can pay off 6+ months is already set up and you're a long term investor with lots of windfalls and backing (can take risk) ? Would you buy it all at once or DCA monthly a ballooned cash position slowly into the market or put it in intervals? Exposures to seek include: emerging markets (Europe, South America, South East Asia, East Asian etc), international market, North American market (balance between Canada and the US), tech beyond the big 7, and hedges with oil and resources. I've been talking myself out of going all in on just VOO or QQQ because I'm not feeling those holdings and % allocations. 80/20 VT/VXUS is another idea. Risk I'd like to keep it below -30%.

Ok_Cry7572

Bad idea. Probably better to full port QQQ or something. Betting everything on a clothing store is crazy

Ok_Cry7572

The Regional Banks are bleeding out again... 🩸 I'm personally only in QQQ so don't really care about banks but they seem to be tanking bigly in recent times

dimethylhyperspace

Bought QQQ calls..the thought being SPX keeps trading under put support and bouncing back up(6400). Looking for a bounce tommorrow or the next day, with the risk reward being pretty good. Why QQQ over Spy? It just trades better. Whatever the spy does, typically the Q's outperform

MutaliskGluon

My put position is pretty levered on QQQ and is also essentially a vix call. Delta is 0.028 so IV has a bigger impact than price movement. Wish I bought more last week when I could get them for 3.20s as now they are 3.80ish and my DCA on them is 3.51 right now

If we open green tomorrow I’m 100% buying puts, SPY and QQQ daily charts look gnarly at

Potential catalysts in the next FEW WEEKS. China trade deal. Fed rate cut. Government reopens. Tech earnings. Buying last Friday, buying today and buying tomorrow. QQQ calls/ TQQQ shares

Sweaty_Platypus69

Would be funny if SPY & QQQ adds GLD in its port like maybe 3% of it.

MutaliskGluon

New ATH in the portfolio thanks to the QQQ leap puts I own (300 strike Jan 2027 expiry). Only 6% of portfolio with the other 94% being SGOV for now. Will be adding heavily to shorts next time we bounce into resistance

Yup, if you want more bang for your buck, go with QQQ and buy them 30-45 days until expiration every month...

Treadmiler

Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon and other tech stocks make up QQQ which is why the large returns.

---Right--Tackle---

I genuinely think this is the early stages of the start of a financial crisis and global recession. Getting very similar vibes to 2000. Key indicators include: 1) frozen US labor market, absolutely no hiring. Next step is layoffs begin and then accelerate and snowball. 2) financial bubble, rampant speculation ala 2000. Back then the FED was lowering rates too, but it was too late to save the economy. 3) rates have been held too high for too long, almost 4 years. Finally hitting the real economy. Similar to 2000. 4) AI bubble = dot com bubble. Different strokes, same theme. Two years from now do not be surprised if you wake up and see BTC in the 4 digits and QQQ 50% lower than today.

I own a small position in $HTLD and I am looking at opening a position in $WNC. Currently I am too busy focusing on gold, interest rates and shorting the $QQQ. I will be rotating more into beaten up sectors once this place turns bearish.

Livueta_Zakalwe

I went to cash in February when they actually implemented tariffs on Canada and Mexico - I never really thought they were serious about doing something so dumb. (Maybe it wasn’t so dumb because it gives him an instant lever to affect the markets via a tweet.). Anyway, started scaling back in when the S&P hit 5200. Unfortunately, since I’m retired, I moved into dividend ETFs, where I should’ve just gone all in on the QQQ. Oh well.

From the low of 2015 to the ATH last week, QQQ ran about 628%. Is the 900% return due to dividends?

neurobum

Congrats on the gains. Doubling your money in a year is wild, but I get why you're feeling weird about it - when something works that well that fast, it's hard to know if it's skill or just perfect timing. Now, here's how I'd think about it.. You're 45 with a 5-10 year job security concern. That changes the calculus completely. This isn't "young person with 30 years to recover from a drawdown" territory. You need to actually protect what you've built. The real question isn't "sell or hold" - it's "what's my plan if this drops 40%?" If QQQ crashes back to where you bought it, are you financially okay? Emotionally okay? Or would you panic sell at the bottom and lock in losses? That's the gut check. What I'd probably do: I wouldn't sell everything, but I'd definitely de-risk. Here are a few options: 1. Take the gains, leave the principal - Sell enough to get your original investment back out. Let the rest ride as pure profit. Psychologically this is huge because you can't "lose" anymore. 2. Rebalance into less concentrated exposure - QQQ is basically 7 stocks doing all the heavy lifting. If AI hype crashes, you're taking the full hit. Maybe move some into broader exposure or different factors entirely. 3. Hedge with systematic strategies - This is what I do personally. I run a mix of momentum strategies (which do well when tech is ripping) alongside defensive/volatility strategies that kick in when shit hits the fan. Smooths out the ride and lets me stay invested without feeling like I'm just gambling on one narrative. The "let it ride" mentality works when you're 25, not when you're 45 with job security concerns. You've already won - don't give it all back trying to squeeze out more. The fact that you're even asking this question means you know you're overexposed. Trust that instinct. What's your total portfolio allocation look like right now? Like what % is QQQ vs everything else?

Did you read the second half of the first sentence? I did zoom out, TQQQ has returned ~25,000% since Feb 2011. When it crashes it CRASHES, but it still outperforms its underlying since its inception. But this is a leveraged QQQ ETF, tech has had an absolute blowout the last 15 years.
