You buy the 0DTE calls when QQQ is about to go up. Alternatively, you buy the 0DTE puts when QQQ is just about to up down. If you bet correctly, you make 60x. If you bet incorrectly, you lose 1x. Keep trying until you make the 60x.

I am short QQQ and SMH. That is fine after record gains. The difference is, I did not go full retard and only allocated 1% of my port, and I think that's excessive. Also, I am long UMC with 5X and some green 2027 leaps.
Just a clarification, I didn't turn $10k into $113k just with returns, almost all of that were new deposits, like 84k of the 113k are deposits. I've been investing since 2016 by myself so when I finally decided to stop trying to be a swing trader in 2021 and convert myself into a value investor with a special fondness for tech. I changed everything I had done to that in 2022. I knew that value investing works after a lot of simulations, that's what made me not sell. MSFT was hit by "not racing for AI" as the rest of Mag-7, that makes the price fall a lot even when the business was intact. It is, I think, one of the best businesses in the world in terms of size, moat and income stream so I bought as much as I could seeing those prices. And about QQQ. I'd have 100% of my portfolio there but that ETF main advantage is (for me) also its main drawback. When an amazing company continiously grows, its weight into the index increases, same if a "bad" company prices fall, owning QQQ would own less of that "bad company". The issue with that is when not as great as I'd like business is skyrocketing because of a market hype, it starts weighting more and more on the index even if it's purely hype. That's the reason I still want to have a portfolio that consists on basically QQQ companies but with a slightly different allocation than the original ETF.
I suck at options plays. I started just flipping stocks instead and now I’m up 36% YTD lol. I’m great (so far) at picking a stock and direction but get killed with timing and strike price. It’s also much less work this way. Set it and forget it. I do a 80/20 rule for overall strategy and plays. 80% in SPY/QQQ 20% Risk plays (below) Then if I sell a risk play for a profit, 80/20 the proceeds into the next play. Sometimes I’ll sit on cash waiting for a downward day for a week or 2. $MU $MFST $GME $NVDA $SPCE $RVI Currently all risk play is in $GME, bought in at \~$18.50 about a month or so ago. Sitting pretty about now.
10-yr return on TQQQ (3056%) vs QQQ (574%). However 5-yr returns are 136% and 105%. It’s more of a long term swing when you’ve seen the market is down +30%
big green rip is literally the textbook IC killer, but at 45 DTE you still have time theta working for you. rolling the untested side closer is the standard move to collect more credit and tighten your breakeven, just don't panic-roll the tested side into a worse position. QQQ ICs aren't inherently bad, you just need wider wings or fewer contracts since it moves more than SPY.
i'm itching QQQ $752 , Expiration monday
damn, turning $10k into $113k is no joke, especially after that brutal first year. most people wouldve panic sold after -17% and missed the 2023 rocket that nvidia/amd play in 23 was perfectly timed, like catching lightning in a bottle. smart move trimming nvda earlier this year too, keeping a concentrated position at 3.5% feels about right the msft entry in feb was interesting timing, what made you jump in then? also curious why you want to bump up QQQ when you already hold several of the top components individually
the divergence between the two lines IS the AI bubble, Nasdaq 100 is top heavy in megacap tech while SPX has financials and energy dragging the average, so whenever QQQ pulls away from SPY that's basically NVGA and friends doing the heavy lifting. if you want the real visual, chart QQQ/SPY ratio and watch it go parabolic post-ChatGPT launch.
Income ETF's do not perform excessively better than normal etf's as a warning. SCHD is popular because it has stable companies that will likely run fine even during a recession. Most other income ETF's that do not have that defensive style will not perform especially well. There are technically funds that do **inverse** funds. So if you think QQQ is going to fail for example, there are ETF's set up to perform while its crashing. But all forms of the income funds only do well in the sideways market. They wont do amazing in the up or down. But yeah, the common options are - SCHD and CD/bond ladders. Alternatively, Keep 1-2 years of pay in some form of cash, HYSA, or a CD/bond ladder. Keep investing in normal ETF's in the mean time. I put some CC funds in a for fun account and I'm still not sure why. Normal ETF's would outperform and sell for more than the CC ETF's would pay. They will also recover better from the market down turns. It feels nice getting the cash until I realize that SPMO would have outperformed.
QQQ will be at 666 by end of October
We’ll fade the indexes all through October into mid-term, QQQ to just below 710, SPY to 725. Then rally into the end of year, QQQ 765, SPY 800
QQQ had a PE of well over 100 in the dot com bubble. It's like... 30 right now. Not even a close comparison
QQQ gonna rip into EOY. Bears are cooked
They just added SPX options though, so you're getting the same tax treatment as futures (in the U.S.). I personally just use it for my SPY 0DTE algo and earning interest on cash. I'll also sell QQQ 60DTE puts as well.
The reason we went up last week is because some retard sacrificed 50k of QQQ PUTS. We need another hero this week.

Bruh if you would’ve just invested that into QQQ and SPY you would be doing great 😂
It’s a Russell 1000 index (think the S&P 500 index plus the next 500 “mid-cap stocks) .. growth fund. So both the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 will both have the same “growth” stocks identified by massively increasing sales (YoY, QoQ), high growth rates in EPS (earnings per shares), etc .. which means these are tech-heavy w/some pharma, etc... However they’ll have big banks unlike QQQ products. The Russell 1000 is a bit “looser” than the S&P 500 as the latter has a four quarter plus profitability screen vs Russell products can now incorporate IPOs within 5 days. So you would see something like SpaceX stock appear much sooner in Russell but it’ll be awhile before the S&P 500 accepts it. Also stocks coming up will be admitted every quarter by the Russell while again it’ll be awhile for the S&P 500. tl:dr; your typical US large cap growth index.

No, I don’t buy high… Or rather, just like with some large-cap stocks… I did buy too high, but only after a 30 per cent correction. Unfortunately, this market is such a bubble that some shares, such as STLA, rose by 500 per cent and then fell to a tenth or 5x of their value. And many stock in the top 1,000 have done the same. NKE MDLZ GIS CHTR STLA etc. etc. But, inevitably, everyone is talking about nothing but the global top 10, which is driving the SPY and QQQ to new all-time highs every week.
Will QQQ be above 770 by the end of september?
so this whole talks with Iran was fake news to calm markets, QQQ gap down on monday?
WHAT THE FUCK IS PUMPING THIS GAY ASS MARKET! YEILDS ARE HIGH, OIL IS HIGH. RATES ARE HIGH!!! WHY ARE WE NEAR ATH’s ON SPY AND QQQ?????????????
$2M worth is literally nothing in the grand scheme of QQQ premiums
Someone is buying $2M worth of $QQQ calls ahead of the weekend
Yes, I have. 99% of my portfolio is invested in QQQ and the other 1% in Apple.
QQQ is already a massive sector and country bet. It has also been the absolute best bet in the last 15 years. In hindsight everyone is a genius. Unless someone runs a specific tech fund, using QQQ as a benchmark is entirely unwarranted.
It’s not Fed hike every time even many members keep making noise. Long term bonds so low, after 19 years. $BND $TLT not meme ETF the way Algo treated everyday to $SNDK $NVDA $MU $AMD $META $QQQ & others with 0DTE. Too many Option Algo & 0DTE, rig the stock market & treasury.
QQQ is the absolute benchmark. It will forever outperform everything else, since the best Tech companies are in it and whatever stuff we cannot even imagine today. It will all be in the Nasdaq. Even if there is no human around anymore, even if we had a nuclear winter, the algos will push it higher.
The 5% figure sounds about right and most of those are probably just lucky anyway. I did the same thing for years thinking i was hot shit until i actually ran the numbers against QQQ and it wasnt even close. The 80/20 split is the way to go, keeps the gambling itch scratched without torching the whole account.
I have beaten QQQ over the years................with TQQQ
Down $16,000 since a week ago while QQQ ATH
Buying calls on QQQ during dips is literally free money
I fucking Sat there and watched QQQ sit at 745 and eat away at my puts and I kept adding to them. And then I sold about 10 minutes ago and it immediately drops and I would’ve doubled my money in five seconds. Fucking disgusting.
Ok last try, QQQ 745 0 DTE puts Please actually make them print it smite them immediately no more sideways

If QQQ doesn’t go back down away from 745 im fucked
*Calls.* *Weekly calls.* *0DTE calls.* *Calls purchased at open.* *Calls purchased after the first dip.* *Calls purchased after the second dip because the first dip was apparently fraudulent.* *SPY calls.* *QQQ calls.* *NVDA calls.* *MU calls.* *Calls slightly out of the money.* *Calls irresponsibly out of the money.* *Calls so far out of the money that their delta is essentially a clerical error.*

TSLA, SPY, QQQ please pump geeeezzzz
Could someone please help? My issue is that I only know how to close my options via a market order, while I'm watching the regular stock chart through TA. If I want to sell when QQQ reaches 741$, the only way I know how to do that is watch the regular chart. When I see it hit 741$, I switch back to my broker and do a market order. I know how to do a sell limit order on the option candlestick chart, but I can't gauge where 741$ is, when the option just shows a contract price of 2.3$. I have both TOS and RH to execute trades and use Tradingview for my charting. Is there a way to do a sell order when QQQ reaches a certain price? Thanks!
I do something vaguely similar in PM, but on QQQ. Instead of strangles/straddles, I do jade lizards (I believe Tasty refers to them as “Big Lizards”)? The profile is similar to an iron condor/butterfly, but only one side is “capped” (I cap the bull side bc I am long term bullish). The issue is that it’s not really a theta play (if you call that an issue) and is closer to a delta play (pretty much a normal LEAP but for a credit, and for at least my portfolio generally adds BP) It works for me since I have a long time frame, and I convexity hedge short term actively to mitigate margin call issues. Another issue is huge run ups are capped, which isn’t necessarily bad bc you can roll up and maintain date (if you remain bullish, of course). Since you mentioned SNKD, I would imagine you could do it here too, but for me I prefer doing it on the index. Just be careful of bid-ask spread drying up in the future. For example, let’s say (by some wild world) nobody really cares about SNKD after a few months. I would imagine OI plummets, Bid-Ask widens, and your mid price will reflect this affecting your NLV. This may cause some problems for margin efficiency. I would imagine that, while this is u likely, it may be something to consider (I have more conviction the index wouldn’t be as likely to experience this)
My buddy has done QQQ and chill for the last 20 years and FIRE'd this year. Dude is dumb as shit though. So what does that make me?
Actually that's the idea... having more exposure to those two and more if they keep growing using QQQ... that comes together with more businesses.

How can you short the market if even a whiff of an Iran peace deal pumps QQQ like 1% randomly. You kinda need a real peace deal and then short after the market pumps off that.
AMZN really underperforming QQQ is insane
Another QQQ 52week high today
Imagine how much money you would have made since April by buying every QQQ dip with calls 1 week out.
Fun fact, many companies in QQQ will drop over the years. Why are we pretending Space X is the only company to?
