ffs my morning QQQ and SKHY buy put order hit near market close. open order thinking ain't no way this kind of price price hitting on this day, lo and behold. Now im a gay bear
Short SPY bro. The QQQ just turned bullish. Semis are ripping and you bought puts on the q’s..
sad part is, with ETF options , you can't even close them until market open. but with SPX on IKBR, if you get a crazy gap down and in profit you'll be able to sell. with QQQ options, you're screwed until market open which wild swings can happen. not saying it's a surefire way to trade, but i always found it funny how there's just so many small things that bend over the avg retail trader
I have been getting burned on QQQ puts this past month. I have lost 20,000.
Update - Here's some of the many movements that happened in minutes just before close today for the "irrelevant" "nothingburger" that "never matters". AMD - went from 545->548 NVDA - 219+ to 222+ in seconds MRL - 239 to 244 SNDK - 1738 to 1796 AMAT - 438 to 445 Even QQQ - 719 to 722
It seems like everyone here Reddit is full porting to puts and shorts for next week. I have no idea what I am doing but it feels so convincing. I am going full port 10 mil into QQQ puts too. I hope the market makers does not figure out that we are all in and pump the market
Puts on QQQ is so funny to me. I wanna be a degenerate gambler so bad, but not *Leopold* bad.
Looks like he bought ITM so he paid the premium which is reflected in the loss right away, but for every dollar QQQ drops, the contracts compound on the delta. He'll make money if QQQ drop down $3 overnight, but unlikely because QQQ rarely makes big moves over the weekend. Even if it did, it usually snap back before market opens. The institutions selling those contracts likes taking money from weekend theta decay.
Can anyone tell me why QQQ is about to reach 30,000? Literally any positive news?
They will print. The idiot will say something over the weekend or Monday weekend to disrupt the market. He always does. Max pain on Monday is 715 so if QQQ drops down below 718 the gamma will change. I also have Monday puts for 722.
This, I’ve been doing it with QQQ and really any company I want to own long term and buying the farthest dated options usually about 1/4 of the way down in the money and I’ve had so many locked in winners of 30-130%
Even if QQQ drops pre market, theta is going to bend you over. Sell please
You are fucked man. QQQ reclaimed EMA 9 & 20 with expanding volume and a curling up MacD. Checked 1,3, and 6 months so odds are you will be letting bols rail your girl.
Alright who made 45x on that fucking QQQ recovery I completely missed?
It'll be fiiiine. QQQ was looking great today, as were semis. Tech & semis is basically my entire portfolio.
Told myself today, that the last rebalancing day, there were penny QQQ options that ended up being worth $2+ before option close, so take a look a lotto play today. At 12:40PT, I looked and 721C were 4-cents. I decided not to buy...they sold for $1.9 around 13:11PT. Total Regard.

Gonna do SPX next week. Familiarity mostly w/ trading IWM/QQQ/SPY. Put a decent amount of time looking at levels. SPX will be mostly new for me. Definitely gonna give it a go now though, had my first decent sized losses with IWM/QQQ/SPY the last 30 days and want to avoid wash sale.
QQQ puts better be putting in work on Monday
Fuck it. No more puts, no more USO, no more 0dtes. I’m just going to park all of my money in VOO, QQQ, and ARK. If Cathie Woods tells me that by 2023 Starship is going to have 10,000 flights a year and that Starmind is going to self-drive my CyberCab through Dubai while I use Palantir’s $200/hr Stalkr app to get dirt on my ex who dared to have 9 side pieces instead of having 8 like me, a good boy, then I’m just going to believe her. My only mistake as an investor was having a frontal lobe when Anthropic should clearly be doing all of my thinking for me
QQQ had one advantage: you were not trading it
Can't see a reason why this momentum won't continue into monday, QQQ 735
I bought 719, 720, 722 QQQ puts expiring on Monday at the end of that craziness. Odds are extremely high that dumbass will do something like decide we are no longer trading Partners with India or Korea because the Feds raised rates.
Why the large end of day pump in QQQ and semis?
having a thought to puts on QQQ
QQQ $720 calls did like 5000% into close from $0.05 Classic
Had 125 QQQ 720 strike odte $0.10, sold for $0.25. Super happy. Check my phone and I could’ve sold them for $3.00🤦🏻♂️
Lmfao if QQQ keeps rallying up to $731 and beyond on Monday I will shit bricks
dude at this point QQQ is a fucking meme stock. This market is legit regarded.
Glad I sold my QQQ 720 Calls a few minutes ago 🤡
Are we going to wake up monday to QQQ at 725 at this rate lmao
I’m buying calls into weekend on QQQ something is sus with price action. Someone knows something it feels like
Someone knows something oil down 2% that’s a pretty big move within an hour. Calls on QQQ deal imminent or some bullshit rumor

Nasdaq QQQ has gone no where for over 3 months. Market is running in circles and eating you via theta :rob:
Dont worry QQQ will hit 716 and then they'll pump it just enough to stay flat, fucking pointless
Hey QQQ can you stop being useless
QQQ should go straight back to 660, please and thank you.
bought that QQQ dip 170 calls total, lets see
QQQ calls right here easy scalp
SPY: zzzzzzzz QQQ: zzzzzzzz RUT: Stabbed in a back alley
QQQ is probably staying glued here barring any Iran or Trump news. No way the market makers pumped it all the way up to here in two days to lose these levels.
\-0.02% on the QQQ monthly chart. Shit is so rigged its insane
I have QQQ calls what about you
I wonder if QQQ will fall to 712 today to wipe out the retarded pumps the last two days.
QQQ calls here? Or are we getting further rugged.
QQQ is completely flat

Man let my QQQ calls print. 720 feels so distant now ;(
that's not how forced passive index rebalancing works though. look at fast-tracked ipos (for example SpaceX) getting fast pass entries into indices like QQQ practically overnight, and plenty more lined up. when the tech/ai bubble eventually cracks, passive funds are forced to dump everything to cover redemptions and maintain index weights. that's exactly what happened in 2000—funds had to liquidate healthy non-tech stocks, metals, and commodities just to stay balanced. nasdaq dumped 80% and dragged the entire macro environment down with it. it's a structural chain reaction, capital won't just smoothly "refocus" into value stocks when margin calls hit.
QQQ will not be dying today unless MU gets rugged
let's revisit in a 1-3 years and see what is bigger and more allocation in the indices. If you follow OG's of musk, they are saying its S&P 500, QQQ and then X (spaceX) its an economy now. not just a company. Berkshire was limited in their thinking by just buying coke and crap that made us addicted.
2 thoughts 1. Feed your holdings into AI and have it tell you how much percentage wise is in Nvidia/Apple/etc . I bet you thought QQQ was the tech heavy one and the others were diversified but the Mag 7 is like a third of VOO and a quarter of VTI (I am pulling these numbers from my ass) 2. Consider some precious metals for your Roth because the Roth is tax advantaged and Gold and Silver are tax heavy
Also, don't buy QQQ. If you want to buy the Nasdaq 100, buy QQQM. Same index, half the expense.
As usuals QQQ will be up. SPY flat and Dow and value stocks -2%
VOO is great. I recommend VGT over QQQ long term because its a much lower expense ratio. Stick to low cost index funds unless you want to get really into investing and having it take alot of your time and effort. I would also look into a VOO/VT split, so you can hedge against the US (just in case). I also recommend coming up with % of your income that you can invest and automating it so you can set and forget.
Check out the wiki both here and personal finance. Set yourself a few goals (1 year, 5 year, retirement) and build a saving plan to work towards them. Stay out of QQQ, margin, or options. Starting late is not an excuse to take risks. There are tons of great books like boglehead guide to investing to read too. You need to understand what you are doing, not the people on the internet. In order: - Emergency fund needed - 401k to get company match - HSA max if you have one - Roth IRA max - 401k Max If you get to the bottom, congrats you can start asking more questions.
QQQ please keep going down 🙏
If your employer matches some of your 401(k) contributions, try to at least contribute enough to get the maximum match. If you think $13k is enough for an emergency fund, leave it where it is, or put it in a brokerage account and buy a money market ETF like SGOV or BIL. At 35, there's nothing wrong with splitting your investments in some fashion between VOO and QQQ. You can get more conservative down the road when you're much closer to retirement.
SPY shreked hard in April despite oil being higher than now at one point, QQQ even more so
Guess I should've held my QQQ calls... Oh well, profit is profit
Politicians and Media for over a week saying we need slowdown AI: QQQ down 1.5% Single person Jensen says we going to double AI production: QQQ up 2% in a day
as a seasoned regard, i highly recommend to wait for the QQQ's channel breakout before entering if not you will get chopped to no end
Im around 60/40 too. I wouldnt cut at 16 percent. If GOOG got that heavy Id overlay it on QQQ in moomoo just to eyeball relative price action, whether its been tagging along with the index or pulling away. Overlay only helps with that visual compare; it doesnt prove whats driving the move. If it looks mostly like the index, new cash goes to the ETFs. If its clearly doing its own thing on the chart, I wait for 20 percent before I touch it. Position size alone is a lagging tell

The only reason it's up is because they need to take out the Triple Witching puts. Trump would have to surrender and completely leave the Middle East for the market to actually be buyable. Just manipulation before the fall. Maybe something with XI can help pump it one last time next Thursday, but nothing ever comes of the China meetings except lies and bullshit neither side commits to. This bull market gets slaughtered soon.
Japan (BOJ) raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25% from 1.0%. $QQQ PUT
Good point. As a QQQ puts holder, you have my upvote.
