QQQ

Good suggestion. Granted I did not trade all the possible historical trades. But I am limited as daily expirations only started May of 2022. There's only a handful of similar securities because we need options that expire every day. We need options that have high liquidity. So SPY, SPX, and QQQ are the obvious place to start. Haven't gone down the path of random sampling. Not totally sure how that would apply here. I have run the back test, iterating through all the different parameters, and the ones that shared ended up being the best results.

TACO and his friends have been trying to protect SPX 6800, QQQ 600$ and SPY 680$ (They somehow don't want the market to close below that number) for months now and right now we're too close to that number so IMO there is a high possibility that we'll pump +1% tomorrow or go flat.

QQQ ends flat, IWM pumps a little. The rules of max pain implemented

eggplant_parm827

Markets don't care. They are so forced and manipulated to V every dip and only go up. QQQ and SPY both are gonna finish green this week.

Going to assume you don’t have enough to exercise calls on QQQ by asking this. That’s all it is, you were within less than a % and RH doesn’t want to get caught holding the bag

hey, I have a question. Maybe its a dumb one, but I understand that Robinhood begins to automatically sell options around 3:30pm. But typically if an option is otm they let it expire worthless. However in my situation, I had QQQ 0dte $609 and Robinhood sold my calls at 3:45pm. At that time, the stock was still below the strike price. How did Robinhood know that the call was going to be ITM prior to the stock reaching that point?

SPY above 680 and QQQ above 607 is a damn good sign.

OMG QQQ up $1 off lows

SadResource8103

What the heck was that spike on QQQ just now?

NotMe357

If the market close above SPX 6800, SPY 680$ and QQQ 600$ today then we'll have a green day tomorrow. Probably +1%. Trust me Bro!

Something doesn’t make sense with the put & call on QQQ 1 day apart

BaloneyAllDay

I hope they’re ok, how else will I know when they short QQQ at 608, 608.12, 609.4, 609.6, 609.7, 610.08, 610.17, 610.25, 610.38, 611.14, 611.19, 611.38, and 612.09??

Good questions. First, I recommend QQQM not QQQ. Why? Its the same stocks with a lower fee. QQQM is newer and that scares some investors, but not me, in this instance. QQQ also has a higher share price, I think over 600 but qqqm is lower about 250. I compared them and they track identical, and the small differnce in fee is not much, .15 percent for qqqm and .18 percent for qqq. Still little things add up. Small drops of water fill a large pond. Both of these Q;s (QQQM AND QQQ) PAY A NEGILIGBLE DIVIDEND, less than 1/2 of 1 percent. So they are both growth buy em and hold em. You pay zero taxes on a stock until you sell it. Exception: You do pay taxes on dividends, but its a bit more complex than that. There are several classes of dividends. Lets look at these 3: Qualified, Non qualified, and ROC. Qualified and ROC offer tax advantages, non qualifed dont. non qualified is regular income fully taxable. ROC is returning your money back aka return of capital. Now, sometimes this is good, sometimes not so good. Its not really good if the stock goes down $1, and you get $1 ROC. You made zero net. You got a dollar back from what you paid so you dont owe taxes on that. However, with some stocks they manage to work it where a least a portion of your dividend called "ROC" is not reflected in the share price. That is, you get the best of both worlds. For taxes you get your money back, but the share price did not decline so you did well. QQQI is a different animal. Its a Neos "covered call" strategy with 1256 contracts. You can ask your cpa what a 1256 contract is, but it does have some tax advantages on the dividends you receive. QQQI can also have part at least of the dividend as ROC. This kind of ROC is pretty much known as tax deffered until you sell. The choice boils down to what is most important to you. If you are retired or otherwise want a great dividend yield, QQQI is up there better than 12 percent. But the cost of that will be that QQQM will likely outperform long term as it caps your upside. But if you dont need dividend income, you can/should just buy qqqm and hold it sometimes very very long term, because it is well diversified.

Technical preview for today, QQQ hourly chart indicates a flat open; then trending down towards close. I plan to short the open 🐻

Salty-Bid1597

I really hate arbitrary YTD metrics. Americans love them because they line up with their tax year but they're completely meaningless.  Yes QQQ is down slightly since the 1st Jan. It's also up 20% since last March which would put it near the Top Decile in that chart. You really need trailing twelve month figures for any meaningful comparison.

E82822

QQQ just needs to fail 612.50 6 more times & bulls will be SO FUKT

You might also want to peek at **Edgewonk**. I use it for tracking SPX/QQQ trades, and it hits all the essentials—risk tracking, P/L, setups—without being crazy expensive. The interface is clean, and once you get your journal set up, logging trades is super quick. Definitely feels lighter on the wallet compared to TradeZella.

Specialist_Spite5930

AVGO up, QQQ down, why do I get deja vu from Nvidia earnings? Or am I a regard?

spicermatthews

QQQ results were about the same but a little less. A lot more lopsided win rates with calls vs puts. I didn't really look at a lot of parameters. So maybe there's a certain set of parameters that make QQQ work pretty well. Certainly something I'll keep playing around with. Ultimately, I'd like to get to the SPY for the tax advantages.

cqx22

Why did you choose SPY and not QQQ? QQQ is more volatile, so wouldn't it be easier to reach your daily price target?

Paul_Robert_

QQQ is a better name imo

spicermatthews

Interesting idea. I assume SPX and SPY would be the same. But factoring in QQQ would be interesting. Maybe even the russell. May play around with some of these ideas.

HistoricalComeBack

From now one just QQQ, SPY, SLV and GLD So pissed with these earnings that don’t move at all. Got puts on Okta and the thing simply doesn’t move … Very weak guidance, hope it goes a bit down at least to not lose it all. Enough of earnings indexes and metals are much better ..

ArtisticFrame5790

That’s like asking why is QQQ up but MSFT is down

drew-gen-x

Hey WSB loser scoreboard watcher. Why don't you put up the YTD gains of the $GLD, $RSP, $EWY, $EWJ, $ACWX, $XLE vs $QQQ??? Why are all you losers looking at the same stocks in the same sector making lower highs & lower lows???

drew-gen-x

Who's the bear? WSB betting on $QQQ? Or the $RSP, $GLD, $CAT, $ACWX, $EWY peeps???

fakehalo

I mean look at this thread, everyone is saying ASTS... no one seems to care about valuation going into a toppy market. AMD is obviously a more established company, but it's wildly overvalued too. MSFT isn't overvalued, but I would rather just buy QQQ and let it determine the winners and losers. I'm actually short AMD via a LEAPS put spread... and I didn't realize how much ASTS has run and I'm probably going to do the same with it now.

rice_not_wheat

You won't find a whale Crypto investor who isn't also invested in tech. The people who move the prices of stocks in QQQ are the same ones who move prices in BTC.

Got_Engineers

It’s such a great way to swing trade money. I stick to Friday NTM/ITM QQQ contracts and am basically trading the mean reversion. Contracts ~2 days out on QQQ seem to have the best convexity profile

I was watching some porn 15 minutes before market close and tada tada tada am short QQQ for tomorrow

QQQ 700 soon.

Big fat middlefingee to the QQQ bulls that pumped today for no reason while tech should crash down 20%

Anyone who’s not levered in 5x QQQ/Tech Do you have any idea where the wind is blowing? I do not know at the moment

EvolvingDior

The stock market is in a major bubble. Look at the PE for $COST. The people buying these stocks at these prices are bat-shit crazy. However, note that most of the shareholders of these stocks are institutions. Why? Because institutions manage ETFs, such as SPY, VOO, QQQ which all contain WMT. People put alot of their retirement money into index ETFs. They do that blindly, with no thought as to what that is doing to the PE of the constituents. That money has to go somewhere. So it goes into all of them, driving up the price. The more indexes a stock is in, the worse it gets.

Mean_Bumblebee1945

yeah I was pretty sure that we are back at the top of the range on QQQ and sell down back again. This worked now for multiple days.

Odd_Hair3829

here i put the question into chatgpt - maybe i'll be dragged for posting ai slop idk At first glance, **Walmart trading around \~47× P/E** seems strange because it’s traditionally viewed as a **slow-growth retailer**. Historically, Walmart traded closer to **15–25× earnings**. But several things changed in the last few years that investors think justify a higher multiple. # 1. Investors Now See Walmart as a “Platform,” Not Just a Retailer Walmart isn’t just selling groceries anymore. It’s building multiple **high-margin businesses** on top of its stores: * **Advertising (Walmart Connect)** – brands pay Walmart to promote products in search results and online. * **Marketplace** – third-party sellers pay fees like on Amazon. * **Fulfillment & logistics services** * **Membership (Walmart+)** * **Data & retail media** Advertising and marketplace revenue can have **50–70% margins**, far higher than grocery retail. So investors are valuing Walmart partly like a **retail + tech platform hybrid**. # 2. Walmart Is Taking Market Share In inflationary periods, consumers trade down. That benefits Walmart. They’ve been **stealing share from:** * Target * grocery chains * dollar stores Even **higher-income shoppers** have been shifting to Walmart for groceries. Market share gains make investors believe **earnings growth will be stronger than expected.** # 3. E-commerce Has Become Profitable Years ago Walmart’s online business lost money. Now: * online orders are fulfilled from stores * delivery networks are optimized * store-based logistics lowers costs This means Walmart’s **e-commerce is approaching profitability**, which was the big knock against the company for years. # 4. Investors Want “Defensive” Companies Large institutional investors love companies that are: * stable * recession resistant * dominant Walmart is one of the safest companies in the market. In uncertain economic environments, investors pay a **premium for stability**. # 5. The P/E Looks Higher Because Earnings Are Temporarily Suppressed Walmart has been: * investing heavily in automation * building fulfillment networks * growing e-commerce infrastructure Those investments reduce **current earnings**, which mechanically pushes the **P/E higher**. Investors expect margins to improve later. # The Real Way Investors Are Thinking Many investors are essentially saying: > If Walmart’s ad platform, marketplace, and logistics business keep scaling, earnings could grow much faster than traditional retail. # Quick Comparison (Why the Multiple Looks Weird) |Company|Approx P/E|Narrative| |:-|:-|:-| |Walmart|\~47x|Retail platform + advertising + logistics| |Amazon|\~60x|Commerce + cloud + ads| |Target|\~18x|Traditional retailer| Investors are basically saying **Walmart is moving closer to Amazon’s model than Target’s.** # One More Important Point The **forward P/E** (based on next year’s earnings) is usually **much lower** than the trailing P/E you’re seeing. So the 47× headline number can be misleading. ✅ **Bottom line:** Walmart trades at a high P/E because investors believe it’s evolving from a **low-margin retailer into a retail platform with tech-like profit streams**. If you want, I can also show you something **really interesting that hedge funds see in Walmart that most investors miss**—it actually connects to your investing discussions about **QQQ, Amazon, and the “platform companies” dominating the market.**

Saudi and other Wealthy people are doing their best to hold up the market while we b\*tt f\*ck the world and risk catastrophic collapse. There is no volume in the market. None. It's just like watching someone run around blowing air to keep a feather from falling to the ground. Eventually, they will run out of breath. Software as a category is not the thing, nor the point. But I believe we will revisit 2015 prices on QQQ. When the QE started.

So since bulls are saving QQQ over and over again, this might really move to ATH again soon? I was very bearish until today. But they literally bought the whole "war" sell off back to the top of the range.
