The market is held up by boomer optimism which will be destroyed
Great news guys I just checked IBKR and QQQ actually closed at 740. Yesterday was probably just some weird bug.

You could’ve beat it easily if you owned QQQ for the last 17 years
I’ll have to check them out. This put me at 15k in the S&P 500 I plan on selling 21 shares next year if AMD hits $750 a share. I will be investing in TSM and QQQ I think. Plus visa
Depends on the number of outstanding shares, market cap, volume of trading on a given day. For large ETFs with high daily volumes like VOO or QQQ, you could probably put it a buy/sell order in the tens of millions before meaningfully affecting the bid/ask price. For low volume ETFs or penny stocks, a buy/sell order of $10,000 could struggle to get filled and that would push the bid/ask up or down, hence moving the stock.
I also used to buy SPY. Until I discovered QQQ, QLD, and TQQQ. But nice profit. Would’ve loved to see 333.33 or 333.69 tho
Why are QQQ puts calling my name. Prob a terrible idea
Ber r fuk. SPY and QQQ are in rock solid territory. War is resolved and oil prices are coming down rapidly. No bad news remaining.
Whatever QQQ put you can afford
Getting “wrecked” ie assigned on QQQ is not a death sentence
It's just that SPY is literally being propped up by semi/dram tech. It is carrying QQQ on its back. And Samsung/hynix happen to be a significant portion of the market. Thus KOSPI
You should but SPY and QQQ options can be trades for upto 15 mins after expiry
I hope so because I didn’t close my QQQ call and I like money
Nothing quite like a 2.5% QQQ day on no news other than ceasefires are fake and gay
Another 1.5% on QQQ and I'll make some nice money on these 740 7/2s lol
QQQ's top 10 holdings are already over-represented in every other fund I have. It's a simple matter in a tax-deferred account to buy anything else. And If I choose to take some long-term gains in a taxable account, it will be to pay bills and put new money into something that aligns with my values or investment objectives.
"As mentioned, SpaceX issued only about 4% of its shares to the public in its IPO. The indexes weight companies based on how much of the stock is actually available to investors. So, despite SpaceX being worth over $2.6 trillion as of this writing, only about $125 billion is available. By comparison, about 97% of Nvidia shares are publicly available, about $4.9 trillion as of this writing. The Nasdaq-100 index will include up to three times a large IPO's float-adjusted weight based on its new rules. Even so, that means SpaceX will account for less than one-tenth of the amount of Nvidia in the index. If prices hold steady from today, investors with $10,000 in the Invesco QQQ ETF will hold about $64 worth of SpaceX stock when it becomes eligible after 15 trading days."

Overview: Will be a little long, and I appreciate those who stick around for it. There is a TLDR for those who don't wish to look at it, but for those that do, the purpose of the information given is to give a better understanding of the exact place in my life that I currently am.) This post is mostly to ask a question(s) around a Roth IRA I want to open. Still new to investing, currently 100% of it in tech. I'm currently using Webull for the below investments, straight from my checking account, but don't plan to stay there. Part of this post is to ask a question(s) regarding that. I don't plan to move what I've already invested through WeBull to a different platform because I would just be losing too much money for it to be worth, I believe. |Ticker|Company Name|Shares Owned|Average Buy Price|Current Price|Total Value|Return|Portfolio Weight| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| || |QQQ|Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1|0.84017|595.11|723.01|607.4513117|0.2149182504|0.6753651448| |RKLB|Rocket Lab Corp|3|106.99|97.33|291.99|\-0.09028881204|0.3246348552| My Statistics: (I live in a poorer state (USA), so while still not great I'm currently living in a decent enough apartment and don't actively penny pinch; this will change if I make this move as I HAVE to budget better.) * 39m, Single, making \~47 gross, \~33 net (rounded to nearest thousandth) * Monthly net = \~1288 (rounded to nearest dollar) * Monthly Unavoidable Bills = \~1200 (rounded to nearest hundredth) (this is a higher end top number being used, I've never actually gotten to it, but for patsy sake.) * Monthly Income = \~2576 (rounded to nearest hundredth) 1. Investments already happening outside the above: * 6% each paycheck to a pension, the state contributes 9%. (I don't get a choice in this %, not even "up to 6%" it's just 6% non-negotiable) * $30 /2w - $60/m into a 457k. Current Assets & Debt: * 4.6-5.5k in checking (fluctuation is based on the beginning of the month after I pay off my credit card and bills come out to the end of the month.) * 10k in savings (this needs to change, it's just a credit union account, so I'm losing money just letting it sit there.) * Debt \~Roughly 300 in medical bills that will be paid in the next couple of months, so you can view my obligations as $0. I do not own a home, and my car is paid off. Things I know: 1. Diversity, diversity, diversity. I need to start looking at other sectors. I'm considering VHT for a healthcare position. I haven't delved into much else, but we'll get there. 2. I don't want to look at spreadsheets, evaluate companies, or stare at the screen constantly to see how my investments are doing, and while I may dabble, it will not be the prevalent strategy to try to short a stock, or buy something that requires me to keep a close eye on it (even RKLB is a simple buy and hold for the time being - I'll reevaluate probably at the end of the year to see if they hit the targets that they need to to soar) so ETF's is almost exclusively is what I'm looking at. I do not plan to move my purchases from WeBull to Fidelity. * Maybe it's smarter to just go Index? (I do like the option with an ETF that I get to choose the specific one I want to invest in, but maybe since I don't want to do a lot of research with it this is actually a bad idea?) 1. To max out an IRA I have to move $625/m into it. I have to budget myself a lot better than I currently do, but I can swing this. Most likely I will split it to bi-weekly pulls, so two deposits a month. ($7500 max IRA contribution per year limit) TLDR: Alright, so here are my questions: 1. Is it better to open and use a IRA to invest then just out of your banking account? I currently don't have a IRA setup on WeBull, but am looking to use Fidelity for all future transactions, and think the IRA is the better way to go at it moving forward. (The money will not be transferred off WeBull) *Assuming that I will max out the IRA each year* 2. Should I be approaching this as step 1 - max out IRA each year. step 2 - every dollar in goes to investing * Should I even be "muddling" this account? Maybe I'm overthinking it and it should only be that I only put the amount of money I want to invest every month into this account, and not view this as both a retirement and an investing account? 1. Is Fidelity the smart play for the Brokerage? For a beginner WeBull seems nice, and I would just stick with them, but I've found out that WeBull charges you to move your money off the platform, while Fidelity does not. * I don't believe I have the money to open two Roth IRA's where one is strictly for retirement that I'm maxing AND have another one that I'm putting more money into for investing. Right now it's one or the other and if you read above, I contribute to a pension (still need 6 years for it to be vested though), and a 457b. 1. If not needing to worry about having the money for an unexpected expense what are the pros/cons of just maxing the IRA at least for this fiscal year vs. it all being dumped into a CD and starting at $0 with funding the IRA? * I understand that it's not as jarring when you trickle month by month, but just who I am as a person, I don't like to do it. If I have the money I much prefer paying everything outright so I don't have to remember to - or if I did - pay it. So for the beginning, I could max it out this first fiscal year, and then move to month by month for future years. I appreciate any insight into helping me understand this more.

you're directionally right that selling QQQ over this was a mistake, but your number is off in a way that actually makes your point stronger. it's not 15bps. SpaceX's free float is tiny (\~4.3%) but nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier for low-float names, so the effective weight comes out closer to 0.6%, not 0.15%. either way it's a rounding error — anyone who triggered capital gains to dodge a sub-1% position paid real tax to avoid something that barely moves the index. the part people are missing is the mechanical flip side: the rebalance forces funds to sell pro-rata from the existing big weights (NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, etc.) to fund the SpaceX buy. so if you held QQQ you weren't really "getting more SpaceX exposure" so much as a tiny reshuffle of what you already owned. selling to avoid that, and eating the tax bill, is the definition of letting the tax tail wag the investment dog. the only people for whom selling made sense are those who were already overweight and wanted out for other reasons
QQQ opens under 710 tomorrow. You lot have been played.
Went all in on QQQ puts today 😢😢😢 do I hold to Thursday or take a big loss
Advancing: 50%, Declining 45% * SPY: +1.65% * QQQ: +2.49% Very narrow rally.
this reeks of some dorky gloating; I hope someone shoves you into a locker next period. (FWIW I don't hold any QQQ, but I'm glad I wasn't duped into being SPCX insiders' exit liquidity come the end of lockup. Buy ASTS and RKLB instead...not financial advice or anything)
nice caught some good moves today. 10% of my account each in INTC, SNDK, and AMD and grabbed 10k in QQQ friday calls already up a good chunk on all 4.
I told you, fat nerds - QQQ to 740 EOW - Jobs coming in on fire and Murica

Just so weird to see a casual 2%+ day on QQQ and WSB Vibes didn't seem to reflect it. Anybody get their Nut on this rally today or mostly focused on individual Stonks?
Grab your QQQ calls, fam. 740+ EOW. Jobs report coming in hawt Source: Trust me Bro (Also, Murica)
The most obvious lizard brain play was "look its July 4 week! positive seasonality! vibes! QQQ always hits the wall at 724 so that's a good sell point" Some days it really do be like that
Threw $10 at a 724c on QQQ this morning and sold for $70. Sorry not sorry to the guy that bought it off me.

It’s not worth it man. Just DCA into VOO and QQQ and your mental health and life infinitely gets better.
So my friend has a financial advisor. He let the guy actively manage a $60k account since 2017. It’s only at $100k now. If the advisor just put half into QQQ and half into VOO and just The account would be at 300k. Fire him.
most of the money pushing them up is coming from passive fund investing tbh. remember TSLA is still a large component of both SPY and QQQ.
I believe in miracles. Coming to pick up my QQQ 722p and SPY 740p. Man went full retard today on the puts.
Really weak volume on SPY and QQQ today for the size of the move.
QQQ literally will never go down again
If your not buying QQQ calls right now you must not love MONEY🚀
did TSLA make QQQ move the most today? NVDA barely moved , MSFT and AAPL are red
Should I hold this QQQ call expiration 7/2 or is tomorrow the dump day again?
Me at 9 am: Well, semis are in the tank and we ended last week bearish. Valuations are high and pushback in AI is building. I'm waiting for 1030 at least. My lizard brain at 9 am: Dude, you know people are going to see that seasonal trend for 4th of July week and just buy based on that. QQQ always hits resistance lately at 724 so you can just buy and hold at least until that. Free money. Me at 930: ....no buy Me at 3 pm: ....damn
Institutional ownership is massive — Vanguard alone holds nearly 8%, and it’s the top holding in SPY, QQQ, and most major ETFs, so essentially anyone with an index fund owns it indirectly. On the retail/active side, the interesting shift is defense contractors like Raytheon making serious semiconductor investments, which is a newer demand driver beyond the usual hyperscaler narrative. The risk isn’t whether people are buying — clearly everyone is — it’s whether the current price already prices in 3-4 more years of flawless execution. That’s the harder question.
Load QQQ calls $7 for 729🚀

yeah... sold my 705C QQQ and 7400C SPX for minimal gains
If you gambled anything other than QQQ today then you sir are truly regarded
QQQ actually went negative earlier and now look at the fucking thing.
Puts into calls into puts again. I wish I stopped at calls though. Gave back 30% of the gains aasuming my 715p QQQ goes to 0
How is QQQ just straight up no pull back😂
Time to give back profits. QQQ 715p
Should have gone all in at 50 day moving average for QQQ. Well hindsight is always 20/20.
Bought 25x QQQ 717 puts an hour ago at 716 for $2.8. Down 75% so far, fucking RIP.
can we just remove MSFT from the QQQ? What an absolute turd. seriously
IWM up over 1% last week while QQQ and SPY down, now it's QQQ and SPY up while IWM is down over 1%. The speed of this rotation looks like increased desperation to try and get into a lasting pump. It's going to cause eveything to fly apart and crash out soon.
H&S clear as day, QQQ to retest 710-705
Qqq has more reward risk/reward, SPY would work for secure gains but less profit than QQQ
One rule I’ve been going by with calls is only buy them on dips and strictly limited to memory and QQQ only nothing else. Has been working since last year.
nah, bols got lucky with a huge QQQ pump and now it's stalled out, reverse V incoming
thanks - yeah 20 percent is my daily goal. QQQ is on a rip right now, i have been really fighting the urge to get back in. I really need to get good at options. I was injured in a car accident at work so i can't continue the same career path i was on for the last twenty years and starting over and learning a new trade at 43 years old seems impossible. I know what a terrible idea options are when you actually need the money, but I am trying to make my small settlement amount stretch a bit further. I put aside an amount that I am comfortable losing and if that goes to zero I am going to be done with options forever.
1.8% QQQ is not side ways lol
QQQ up almost +2%, TSM +4%, NVDA: 🤪
Sold MSFT just buying QQQ, fuck MSFT
OIL and QQQ rising in tandem. Somebody is bluffing
Okay, maybe buying IWM when flipping to calls wasnt the move. I swear I instantly lose money whenever I try trading anything other then spy. With Spy/QQQ at least there is a chance to make money for me
Shoot from the hip and pray i guess, if you lucky to get some bulish candles once their Q2 earrings come but i highly doubt it will move alot. On top of that you got time decay for at least 3 weeks before you could think of taking them off early Mark my words if you would of put them on NQ/QQQ expecially now that is under 29500 you would of had a better chance !remindme July 15 2026
QQQ mooning while individual stocks start bleeding
Thank you MSFT for working so hard to ruin my QQQ 0dte, you POS
Wish I wasn't working, there no chance I wouldn't have bought that QQQ dip. Fuck.
Just went all in with everything I got on QQQ puts for this Friday. Hoping for some bad Iran news tomorrow
Can QQQ hit 720 today please and thanks
