And you know what that means: more 2% days for QQQ!!! Open up the casino we can get a new peace deal every 30 minutes!!!
Both QQQ and SPY will be opened .5% above all time highs in about 4 hours. I think you are more than cooked bro. Not financial advise but go revenge trade and do calls for 755 for Friday. Prb safest bet
QQQ puts at open might be the easiest 5x bagger of your life
My move for tomorrow is to dump my barely ITM ASTS and LUNR 5/29c with the hope that there's something left on the table after the long weekend theta-fuckening. Then, probably short some QQQ and SPY weeklies and chill.
It’s an artificial multiple weighting it seems at the parent NASDAQ but it’ll force QQQ to buy it in real time.
If the QQQ futures being up 1.4% didn’t convince you I don’t know what will
I'm aiming for IWM Puts because those companies are the most price sensitive to Oil. Based on historical charts, I am betting IWM may diverge sharply from the more tech-heavy SPY and QQQ as a result of IWM companies being more dependent on consumer spending and cheap fuel costs.
So how does the 3x for QQQ work? If SpaceX reaches 1% of the top 100 do they require it to be 3% of the basket?
Depends the index. The NASDAQ (via QQQ, etc..) will add within 15 days at a small float est at 3% but will artificially magnify that 3x. CRSP (some Vanguard index funds), the Dow Large Cap (SCHX), and Russell (VONE, etc) will add in about 5 days, as normal, at the reduced float.. have not read any alterations. S&P is considering reducing its IPO “seasoning” (aka price discovery) period for its flagship S&P500 index, plus no profitability screen. S&P has extended indexes which will probably add it fairly quickly like CRSP or Russell.
Dxy to the bottom of hell once we get a peace deal. Gold too for some fucking reason. QQQ up by exactly as much as dxy will drop VXUS faceripper in usd
I took a decent size (for me) put position on QQQ last week and sold after a 20% drop in a day. They were December long puts. The hardest lesson I have and continue to learn is disciplined loss management. Learn to cut your weeds early and water your flowers.
I think if they closed down the regular market for a week QQQ would be up at least 5-7% in that time. If they did it for a month and got the right meaningless social media posts I think it jumps at least 20%
Yea I did. Rip that guy, sometimes VOO/QQQ/SPY and chill is a sagely advice.
I’ve calculated that if QQQ is up +1.35% that means that RDDT can open as high as +5% 🤓
QQQ rippin and the deal was not even signed yet Rip bears 😂
I tend to keep most of my portfolio in ETFs (VOO, QQQ, IXUS, QTUM and NUKZ) and usually only have a maximum of 5% in any single stock. Of a single stock runs and I can't make sense of the new valuation based on the news I will trim my position and look for reentry at a lower price, missed some gains on IONQ but it didn't make sense to me why it even got to 40 in the first place. POET I will not reenter because it is moving on pure speculation and the most recent news have been a 400m dilution and the loss of their main client. I am currently FOMOed into Joby about 15% of my portfolio but the current price is a good 20% above my entry and I see it going higher based on catalysts coming this year and early next year. Current losers I hold are FIG and NOW, those I was at first 40% and 30% up but currently sitting at ~10% loss, not worried since I only put a few Ks in them. Entered PATH last week with a small position, hoping for earnings to help the stock regain some of that 30% loss ytd.
If there is a peace deal or whatever it is and it pumps another 2% pre market please note what happened on April 8. QQQ pumped $20 then dumped rest of the day. Yw. https://preview.redd.it/77fp65hh183h1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=130d39e02c9678c767c1971fba3bf97e57c6f836
I think most people that will buy Space X have already been buying QQQ. *Inclusion* may not be as huge a deal as people think. Or maybe it will end it all.
Space X will ipo around the size of comcast. I think QQQ can handle it...
If SpaceX get adopted into QQQ, prepare for some portfolio rebalancing lmfao. Money doesn't appear out of nowhere to buy that crap
Well, rebalancing means every other stock has to give a bit that's in QQQ. It's not that substantial, 20 billion but all on the same day. You are basically adding Amazon to QQQ a second time, only that this Amazon is 6-8x overvalued right from the start and doesn't grow much and does foster care for two zombies (xitter/xAI). I don't like the idea, so a few month on the sideline is fine, or just buy Google, Amazon, Microsoft instead of the more risky names that will come down to earth eventually. You could short the QQQ companies with lowest market cap/trading volumes and buy these back when every passive index manager has to dump.
From 2000 to present, QQQ is +730% Of that amount, 600% was added in the last 6 years alone.
Time-frame & risk tolerance? QQQ is great but it has some wild swings. If you can live with great. VUG is also great.
I’d avoid SCHD if anything and invest in QQQ or something I suppose with a higher risk and higher returns.
Great start. Most adults don’t do this at 30, you’re doing it at 18. Only thing, QQQ-VTI overlap a lot on tech. If Nasdaq crashes, both drop together. Otherwise solid. Keep the habit, the amount will grow.
Can't see individual stock but tech is up +1.39%. I'd assume QQQ is pretty close to that.
if you want to turn in to a ber click "MAX" on the chart for QQQ.
Nice. Im holding my boomer googl shares and QQQ but need to sell some other shit for a property deal
I got my reminder. The market is up 15% and QQQ up 23% u/mkay2030
So this is what I have to look forward to. I have 10 QQQ short calls I started rolling because the underlying exploded in April. I'm trying to roll out to 60 days every time the extrinsic value drops to about $100
Yeah lol - looks like at least 2200 shares of QQQ
Is the position below that 4 digits of QQQ??
1: Awsome for you. I'm working on financial literacy with my 10 year old daughter and this summer we'll start doing something very similar, albiet at a much lower monthly contribution. 2: Nothing wrong at all with your picks but ***Consider*** swapping QQQ with VGT and VTI with VOO. I'm not going to get in to why they're my personal preferences, so read up on them yourself and see if you think it's a good fit. Only thing I disagree with is SCHD at your age. Dividends are great, sure, but save that for late stage investing when you're focused on wealth preservation and starting to do monthly/quarterly withdraws. Instead, maybe drop that 16% down to 10% and put it in something more aggressive like DRAM or EUV (ETFs) or a single stock in a booming sector.
if they are charging you money to just hold QQQ you are right to be done with them.
you said "pension funds" and i wondered which "pension funds" are being forced to buy it. if a pension has QQQ it's not required to keep holding it. holding QQQ is kind of risky for a pension, even if it did not have SpaceX.

First they coped with weekend chart. Then they coped with futures, on a closed trading day. Its copium all the way to SPY 350 and QQQ delisting
Considering there are very lax rules for algorithms and trading I think Elon is going to use an automated trading platform to pump the stock price so it can meet the minimum requirements for index inclusion. This is why he's been fighting to lower the requirements. Once it's in the indexes, funds like SPY, VOO, QQQ, etc are forced to buy shares when they rebalance the funds.
When is the IPO so I can be ready . also get out of QQQ lol
DO you want to be aggressive? QQQ Do you want to be balanced? VTI
VOO, or VTI, QQQ, QQQM, no individual stock, no cryptos.
Switch to FNDX instead of total US market (VTI), S&P500 (VOO), or Nasdaq (QQQ). FNDX uses RAFI fundamentals index to select stocks based on company health and cash flow, not market cap or hype. If you use a target funds though in 401K or otherwise, you’re kinda stuck.

Leveraged ETFs as well as options on Leveraged ETFs are path of returns bet. If you have some signal that tells you there’s going to be some consecutive days in a row in the same direction, or the opposite (very choppy up down up down and you want to fade the LETF) you will likely do better choosing LETF products over the underlying. Inversely, if you have some signal on the underlying ( “I’m unsure on the path but I think QQQ is headed up within the next 12 months more than priced in the options market” for example ) you’ll likely do better on QQQ than TQQQ. In my opinion this is a better way to think about it than purely the volatility, sorry if it doesnt answer your question
I disagree. Its still more leverage. Ie, If you look at 80 delta options for jan 2027. Right now thats 610 on QQQ, 56.5 on TQQQ. One can buy 5 calls of TQQQ for every 1 of QQQ. Now here's the leverage: lets say QQQ finishes at 800. Thats $190(call price ~$139)=~$51 gain. 800 is 12% up from today. Lets say TQQQ goes up 30% instead of 36%. That puts it at 100. Thats $44.5(~28.5 price)=$16 gain but you have 5 calls so $80 total. So same dollar amount invested gets you a higher return.
Wow. Clearly you don't know how to pick stocks. Stick to VOO or QQQ.
And that's why QQQ is going down
TLDR: VT and chill Hello, responding here because I am also unhappy that my passive funds will buy SpaceX. I have decided to not take any action regarding the SpaceX IPO, and accepting that my funds will buy it even though this IPO seems like an obvious grift. I am not trying to convince you to take action or not take action, just explaining my reasoning because this IPO has made me worry about my portfolio and maybe this will be helpful to you in your own decision. First let's understand what types of funds could be affected by the IPO: \- Total world market funds (VT and the like). These track the total world's equities market, which is roughly $154 trillion in market cap. \- Total US market funds (FSKAX, FZEROX, VTI, VTSAX, and the like). These track the total US equities market, which is roughly $77 trillion in market cap. \- S&P 500 funds (FXAIX, VOO, and the like). These track the largest 500 companies in the US by market cap, which total to about $62 trillion. Note that this is about 80% of the total market. \- S&P 100 funds / Mega cap funds (FGRTX, QQQ, and the like). These track roughly the top 100 companies in the US, totaling roughly $55 trillion. Note that this is roughly 70% of the total market, and roughly 89% of the S&P 500 \- Large cap funds (FNILX, FSPGX, and the like). These are functionally equivalent to the S&P 500 so I will not add anything here, they may be slightly larger or smaller percent of the total market than the S&P 500 depending on holdings. \- Mid cap, small cap, and international funds: unaffected The first thing you want to think about is: what are you invested in? You don't have to go super granular but most passive investors have their investments in some version of the above funds. Are you more of a total market person, or more S&P 100? It doesn't matter which one you are, but take a look at your portfolio and understand what you are invested in. Now let's assume SpaceX does IPO at $2 trillion and let's look at how the SpaceX IPO affects the broad categories: \- Total World Market Funds: 2 / 154 = 1.2% of the total world market \- Total US Market Funds: 2 / 77 = 2.6% of the total US market \- S&P 500 and other large caps: 2 / 62 = 3.2% of the S&P 500 \- S&P 100 and other mega caps: 2 / 55 = 3.6% of the S&P 100 Now let's assume that the worst case happens: SpaceX IPOs at 2 trillion, and then the price goes literally to 0. If you are mostly in total market funds, your portfolio would go down by 2.6%. If you are mostly in large cap funds, your portfolio would go down by 3.2%. If you are mostly in mega caps, your portfolio would go down by 3.6%. But let's be realistic, even with this IPO likely being an Elon grift, do we really think this is going to 0? I don't. Maybe it loses 50% of its price, maybe 80%, I don't know. But it's a real company with real revenue (though small revenue compared to its huge valuation), so it's not going to 0. I'm not going to redo all the calcs but just for example, assuming it goes down by 50% and you are mostly in S&P 500 funds, your portfolio would go down by 1.6%. But here is the biggest consideration: 100% of SpaceX is not going to be publicly tradable. We don't know exactly what the percent it is going to be but likely only like 5%. This means that the indexes will only track 5% of SpaceX's market cap. So assuming SpaceX IPOs at 2 trillion and goes down by 50% and you are mostly in S&P 500 funds, your portfolio would go down by (2 \* .05)/62 = .16%. To be clear, this is like a fifth of a percent, which is inconsequential, the market moves more than this on a daily basis. Another point: I don't know what is going to happen in the future: I don't know if SpaceX's price will actually shoot up for whatever reason, so as an uninformed person, I think actively shorting SpaceX is not a good idea. Remember the famous quote "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". I am a regular person and don't have any privileged information about what is going on with SpaceX so I think shorting it would be equally risky to shorting any other company that doesn't have a high-profile controversial figurehead as Elon Musk, which is something I wouldn't do (and likely something other passive investors wouldn't do either). At the end of the day, passive investors get to benefit from all of the companies in the market without having to do the work of researching and understanding each business, and making bets about which one will go up or down. We have benefitted from all the other great businesses that have continued to skyrocket without having to use a second of time to evaluate them. If you want to take action against the SpaceX IPO that is totally ok, but you could be introducing complexity to your portfolio, and spending your valuable time thinking about how to hedge against something that will impact your portfolio less than regular daily market fluctuations. Again, not trying to convince you one way or another, and to reiterate, I am not happy that I will be buying into this IPO passively because I do think it is a grift, but by looking at the actual numbers I have decided that this is not consequential. So to summarize all of this information, even though I am more of a Fidelity stan than Vanguard, "VT and chill".
Is there any practical HARM to holding voo/vti/vug, or is it just redundant? With ETFs I always see people recommend just 1 largecap growth ETF to hold most of your funds in that category, but is it for actual upside or just due to redundancy? If I wanted to split my VOO holdings between VOO, QQQ, and SPMO for example, even though they currenly have a lot of overlap is there anything wrong with that approach?
https://preview.redd.it/n1g55e75k33h1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d1800a03cbcae0bd2cb1561fcb2cdfedca53809 End of 2023 beginning of 2024 I was trailing SPY and QQQ. Ended 2024 with 50% gains, 2025 with 40% gains, this year 23% so far. Not gain porn by any means but still doubling the S&P and almost the NASDAQ gains over the last 2.5 years. It isn't over until you give up and decide to only contribute to your retirement accounts like all the others settling for an average of 7% annual growth
The best and closest thing I have found to that is MGK, the Vanguard megacap growth fund. If one of the MAG7 dies off and gets replaced then the ETF is in good shape. The fees are also lower than QQQ or QQQM I believe. I'm aware that there are ETFs specific to the MAG7. You could also substitute that portion of the portfolio with a tech ETF and google stock in my opinion, since I'm not real big on facebook or tesla. For the average investor, ETFs are the way to go. I would not be picking individual stocks.
If your looking for leverage on an index don’t but 1 - TQQQ option by 3 options of the under index or (index equivalent) etf. If you can’t afford 3 - QQQ options try 3 - XLG options for example. They have long term positive drift and not the negative baggage of Leveraged ETF’s.
And I assume the idea is it still pretty much tracks QQQ performance overall? I would imagine the yield would eventually drop if the market volatility comes down but that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon with this administration 🤣
Yes, the chickens will be coming home to roost hard with that one. SpaceX will be what, 3% of SPY or QQQ? So what will happen is that the investor will open the short position equaling 3% of his entire passive portion of the portfolio -- which by the way is a lot. I'm an active trader and I rarely risk 3% of my entire capital on a single bet, and never on a short bet or something where I don't have an extremely high conviction. And the short will just mostly sit red there. In the best case, SpaceX is basically floundering around and treading water, which means your position will also roughly flounder around or be slightly positive, but probably it will be red most of the time. At that point, you're just asking yourself, why did I even do that? What's the point? These 3% could work more productively. That hedge makes sense for large hedge funds, I don't think passive investors need to concern themselves with this.
Time to put $1k on QQQ, so by time I’m OPs age I’m set.
I'm jealous of you euros for once. I just found a 5x leveraged QQQ etc and a 3x leveraged SNDK etf, but they aren't traded on US exchanges. Lame.
Soxx has done 35% annual returns in last 10 years. SMH 37%. Nothing wrong with adding a sector(this case sub sector) to your portfolio. ALL the Index & S&P funds have increased their weight of semis, if you feel they will continue to grow(which should) make them whatever % you want, 10%,20%, etc... XLK is 100% Tech will have more semi weight than like a QQQ.
the last leg of this rally will be so completely regarded and unbelievable that even bears will be buying in we're talking QQQ probably at least +50% from here
I'm not a fan of overplaying my hand in sector ETFs. However, making it 30% of your portfolio is fine. Example in a taxable brokerage account: \- 70% VTI or SCHB \- 30% SOXX. Could be replaced with FTEC or QQQ.
Let’s normalize proposing with shares of QQQ.
In my eyes, six months to a year is fine. I'd be more worried about any QQQ investors
>Your option is to take control your self, or quit investing all together. Or just change the index. Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) won't include it but Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) will.
It’s a “single stock” if you look at sp500. But looking at QQQ, you’re looking at only 100 stocks total. And at that valuation it’ll wind up being like 3-4% of the index. It’ll weigh on the index a little bit when you compound. Over time But I agree it’s still big enough to materially change your strategy
The practical answer underneath the noise here is that the exposure problem and the volatility problem are two different things and need different tools. The exposure problem: if you hold QQQ specifically, the NASDAQ one hundred small float multiplier rule means SpaceX inclusion gets weighted at three to five times its actual free float percentage. The practical fix some commenters pointed at is correct, swap QQQ for an equal weight version like QQEW or for a broader vehicle like VOO or VT where the inclusion math is much smaller. That is an allocation move, not a hedge. The volatility problem is different. Retail can not actually hedge an index IPO inclusion event with stock allocation alone. The cleanest expression is a long dated put spread on QQQ dated around the inclusion window, typically thirty to ninety days after the IPO date, because that is when forced index buying compresses then mean reverts. The IV term structure already prices some of this, the front month is cheap relative to the three to four month dated options where the inclusion driven flow concentrates. Put spreads also limit the bleed if the event passes uneventfully. Panic selling everything today or sitting in cash for two months is the option that combines highest cost with worst outcome distribution. Picking either the allocation move or the targeted hedge is the practical answer. Doing both is overkill but defensible if the position size warrants it.
I don’t know, this post seems a lot of recency bias to me. And clearly, the data shows (1) it is not a lie, and (2) it has not been decades. But heh, you do you, and can use confirmation bias to prove your points. You can compare BRK, SPY, and QQQ since 1999. BRK did overall better than SPY for pretty much all the time (except in 2000 when it dipped more, but caught up, then did better). BRK did better, by far, than QQQ until 2019. And yeah, in 2006, perf of QQQ for the past 7 years was god awful. QQQ then increased a lot, and dropped a lot in 2022, matching the overall perf of BRK. Then after it bounced back. So here, we are just saying that tech had a crazy growth in the past 3-4 years. I know that people on reddit are saying that investors who did not invest in DRAM stocks are idiot (because it did +100% in a month). Well, we’ll see how it will do in the next 5-10 years. [https://totalrealreturns.com/s/SPY,BRK-B,QQQ](https://totalrealreturns.com/s/SPY,BRK-B,QQQ)
Check the Volume on the 680 SPY and QQQ options. 6/18 It's weird as hell. But who knows. I'm sure it will run at first. But these changes scream dump.
this is only accelerated by 6 months which isnt nearly as bad as QQQ
buy SPCX calls like a month out and then sell them if they go up. if SPCX doesnt do much you will lose the money but otherwise be safe and if it goes way up then can sell and then rebalance into QQQ to offset SPCX dilution. or rotate into spx. then you arent going to be diluted during the fast listing and the sell-off wont affect spx rebalancing as much. or do nothing and hold through the volatility.
Buy low-fee actively managed funds that have a profitability factor. Avantis (AVUS, AVEG, AVTM, ...) and Dimensional (DFUS, ...) are good. Avoid passively managed funds weighed on market cap like VOO, SPY, QQQ, etc.
Damn are my QQQ 730 calls saved by none other than world peace?
I have $4000 in cash sitting in my Fidelity account. I'm a passive investor with main investments across VOO, QQQ, SCHD. However, I would like to experiment with this $4000 to maximize my returns. What are some ways to do this?
All I know is I ain't touching QQQ for a hot minute. I am a SPY/VOO goblin until the Space X fast track into the NASDAQ shakes out.
Just ditch QQQ if you have it and buy VT or VOO. The pump should have given way to the dump by the time it gets added to the S&P. Absolutely nothing says you need to own a NASDAQ index fund, if you really want 'high growth high risk tech' there are plenty of other ways to achieve it. I'd agree that its a pretty worrying precedent for the NASDAQ to set between changing the free float rules to overweight tiny floats, and allowing fast entry (while this specific IPO also lets existing shareholders exit earlier than normal). I'd worry less about this particular IPO wiping anyone out (besides a few foolish active investors), and more about the floodgates the index's greed has opened. SpaceX's tradeable market cap will 'only' be $80 billion in non-NASDAQ indices, so its unlikely to distort the prices of anything else besides he other space stocks Reddit obsesses over but which make up a tiny proportion of the overall index. Tesla has been sitting at unhinged valuations for years but doesn't move the wider market.
Could it? Sure. Like I'm not trying to be totally doomer against it, but the valuation makes no sense. And no, this isn't Tesla part 2. Tesla had an initial $1.7 billion market cap. Think about it this way: Tesla's initial market cap was 1/6th of RGTI's current market cap. $1.5 trillion market cap is two AMDs. So we know it's massively over-valued. We know there will be likely turbulence as Nasdaq ETFs and funds are forced to rebalance. It doesn't take a genius to see a lot of pumping and dumping here. Will it crash the market in the next month? Who the fuck knows. SpaceX is far from the only problematic company that will be in the Nasdaq after that. Could it mark the Nasdaq's top for a while? That seems more likely. If you're looking for a sensible middle-of-the-road move, just move some of your QQQ/Nasdaq allotment to an S&P fund for now. I mean that's not a terrible idea anyway with how overheated the Nasdaq is.
Oh! I see. Now it makes sense. Then maybe put a little into SPUS. This is a sharia compliant subset of the S&P. Although the ER is higher than a QQQ. Something to look at for a little diversity if you want. I’m not a financial advisor of course
Is PSY/QQQ a better place to park over VOO?
This is Recency bias. Before 2015, the foreign market out performed the US market following the dot com crash until 2015/2016. Many people act like QQQ is the greatest etf on earth, but they only look at the last decade of returns. If you zoom out, you’ll see it underperformed from the dot com crash and took 15 years to reach its dot com era level of price per share. Including the foreign market in your portfolio diversifies you so that in the event of say an AI bubble or an economic down turn on US soil (both are likely), that you can keep your entire portfolio from shitting the bed.
Proposed change for S&P500 is to bring it from 12 months to 6 months so not as wild as QQQ.
MSFT is going to 0$ B A N K R U P T and removed from SP500/QQQ as it should be
Except they changed the rules to triple the free float in QQQ and put it in there after only 3 weeks instead of 3 months.
For the market itself like index based ETFs (QQQ, SPY), sure. But not necessarily true for individual stocks. Not all stocks go up. And even if they do, a lot of them can still underperform the market.
They only include the float, which is 5% for SpaceX. This means that even with a $2 trillion valuation it will be weighted as a $100 billion company by most funds. Just stay away from the Nasdaq100 (QQQ).
Thanks — works across all tickers not just SPY and QQQ.
8 out of 11 is honestly pretty solid consistency. GEX levels definitely seem useful for intraday context, especially on high liquidity names like SPY and QQQ.
So we sold QQQ under Bush because we were angry about the BS and we all looked around at each other and said what have we done now we are suffering…..fast forward to today we are angry again at all the BS but now we decided to buy QQQ in anger and never sell so now we look around and we have money yet still angry much better this time I guess we got smarter
Because most of technology stocks is halal + $pep + coca cola stock , the most safest option is QQQ ETF the price now is at 717.49$
Solid — 8 of 11 is well above darts, and the AAPL/MSFT/AMZN "didn't pin exactly but stayed in range" is the part most writeups skip. Curious whether your hit rate splits cleanly across the king-magnitude buckets. Big absolute-GEX kings (SPY/QQQ where dealer hedging is biggest) should be more reliable pins than the meme-y single names. I started logging mine in [strikerate.ca](http://strikerate.ca) by underlying and the result was less flattering than I assumed — most of my "GEX edge" was really the index ETFs, not the single names. One Friday is signal but not a sample size, so the underlying-level split is where the actual edge call is.
morning dip-and-rip around 10:30 is a known intraday pattern tied to early profit-taking clearing out. the risk with 0DTE is one gap day wipes weeks of gains, so sizing matters more than direction. if you want to backtest that exact window on QQQ perps outside market hours, markets xyz lets you run that setup 24/7 which traditional brokers cant.
thought it was headed to QQQ
