QQQ

I also need QQQ to die. But also MSFT to rise from the ashes. I don’t like my chances

salacious_lion

USO hitting 150 tomorrow should give us a nice 2% pop on Spy and QQQ if the trend stays the same

PraetorianFury

VOO down about 2%. QQQ down over 2%. 4% CD or HYS gives just under 2% in 6 months. So cash outperformed by 4%.

QQQ straddle. Market will swing one way or the other at the deadline

orion2145

Deleted my QQQ today. Not sure it’s reasonable to assume I can do the same with S&P 500. But I’d consider it. Moved to total market. My goal isn’t total avoidance necessarily but not levered up in any way.

Just saw QQQ ad on March madness.

Get out of any etfs / mutual funds based on the Nasdaq (QQQ, VTI etc). Elon forced a rule change so he could [dump his bags on retail passive investors](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/new-rule-could-fast-track-spacex-ipo-for-nasdaq-index-inclusion-172327734.html). He’s also rolled up a bunch of other BS into SpaceX basically doing the same thing (xAI, Twitter, buying fucking cyber trucks). If you want to stick with Nasdaq without the IPO retail bag holding consider DFUS or something that does add the IPOs with the new rule change. Some other discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1sd0x3g/avoid_fast_track_ipos_while_keeping_broad_passive/?solution=b01a01fb9983307db01a01fb9983307d&js_challenge=1&token=bbbe4bf1c9a2b5160829c4be34da5861b0f0cec01367a79087a4f23d0743f855

Same shit every time. Buy QQQ right before close if it's ever red then sell 30 min later for guaranteed gains.

OpenBuilder2506

I don’t get too emotional. When things get crazy I buy a put option on an index eg. QQQ about 9 months out at a strike price of 25% below the current level. It’s basically a little insurance. That way I don’t freak out.

atheos42

I recommend VTI and VONG. Not SPY or QQQ, expense ratios are too high in my opinion.

UpperHandLab

*Not Finical Advice If this is long term retirement money I would keep it simple. VOO and SPY are basically doing the same job, so I wouldn’t hold both unless you have a specific reason. I would usually pick one core fund and leave it alone. QQQ is more of a growth tilt, so it can work as an add on but it’s not really the same kind of “set it and forget it” core for everyone. For serious longterm investing, simple usually wins: pick a broad core fund add regularly and don’t keep changing the plan every time the market gets noisy. A lot of people hurt themselves by overcomplicating something that should’ve been boring.

No-Improvement3164

Barron buy all those QQQ 4/17 588p. 😳

drew-gen-x

Unfortunately I think the market is bored of the Iran War. All the market cares about is "has the price of crude oil peaked"? The fact that $IGV can't rally makes any potential move for $QQQ above 200 DMA problematic thou. I'll stick with BTD in $VXUS as long as it holds above it's 200 DMA. US indices are in a bad spot right now.

RipperX4

Sectors aren't isolated. Oil spike -> inflation rises -> interest rates rise ->future earnings get discounted more -> then investors rotate into higher-yield bonds -> QQQ drops.

MutaliskGluon

Thats such a complete nonsense take because high oil prices suck money out of the economy so less money flows to QQQ stocks. The world economy is super complicated and everything is linked to one another. A random pod shop going under in SE asia can cause a massive sell off due to forced selling and counterparty risk, as an example.

tachyonvelocity

Literally this, do people not realize almost NO companies in the QQQ depend on oil prices? What they depend on, like data center energy generation, is almost ALL US NATURAL GAS, which is at yearly lows. Compared to other countries' competitiveness, US companies are KING, so in fact the longer Hormuz is closed, the MORE competitive US companies are.

Time to load up on QQQ shares and sell calls/puts every day. The manipulation is insane again this week. Can’t beat em, join em.

That last pump on QQQ is genuinely hilarious, you can pinpoint the exact moment where they coordinated to screw puts when it made no sense at all

I reversed my position after a small profit gonna short QQQ right here

CumgPot_chickling

I said at Open, man, you have no depth to your dumbness. The high for QQQ contracts was 8.19 which is 90000 in profit for him. Why don't you shut your trap and let OP confirm, lol.

Dumped the QQQ puts I bought earlier today for a measly 10% profit. 1m chart took out a swing low and FVG support then bounced above them and had to take the small profits. Still dont think the bottom is in even though the 1d chart is saying that it is. Dont like ignoring chart signals but Im a stubborn bastard

QQQ pumped to +90bps in a split second and then dropped to +73bps, whats going on

CumgPot_chickling

So, his QQQ call high of the day is 6.38 and NVDA 177.5 call high of the day is 1.29. Now in what sense would he have made a loss if he didn't sell at or near the open, dumbass ? Learn the market mechanics first, moron.

drew-gen-x

I see the $SPY, $QQQ, and $GLD are all Green w/ less than 20 mins to market open. Yet, a large part of Reddit is as bearish as ever waiting for the latest oil rig tanker zombie apocalypse headline tweet from Iran terrorists to justify their narrative. I'm beginning to wonder if any of these oil rig tanker zombie apocalypse people have ANY money in the market. Consider that before listening to anyone here & why would you listen to that noise before making your financial decisions.

This ain’t over yet. I’ve marked some key levels on QQQ and if you are bullish, I’d start to buy stocks around the 562 level. If you are bearish, don’t worry, give it time, like I said this ain’t over yet.

QQQ has recovered 6% from the lows, but bears are coping with dead cat bounce

RoutineJournalist156

I don't sub to him and I trade QQQ options using an ORB break and retest, I make my own levels past that for bigger moves. But I tune into his premarket analysis some days to check how his key levels are set. Sometimes they match mine and it gives me extra confidence. Sometimes he has levels from 4 hour lows months back I would have never noticed that wind up super relevant when I execute on them. He is 100% profitable. 100% has super valuable levels, but he openly says he's not trying to have people follow him into trades, but understand why he trades the areas he does so that they can execute themselves. He won't make you profitable with signals, he will teach you how to be a proficient trader by yourself by showing constant examples of important key levels to look for and how to play a break and retest into those levels effectively

RoutineJournalist156

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I don't sub to him and I trade QQQ options using an ORB break and retest, I make my own levels past that for bigger moves.

Specialist_Exam_8433

QQQ will pump 3% to hit 600 by Tuesday close, people will think market is pricing in a 🌮 and go short to sell the news, then we will rip another 3% to 618 by end of week and ATHs the week after. Then 700 by end of May after big tech earnings.

As far as I know Dimensional doesn't do sector ETFs so they wouldn't have any QQQ type ETF

CADhouse

I’ve just started learning about dimensional funds, I still like QQQs other holdings, based on a quick google seems there is no dimensional fund equivalent to QQQ do you know if that’s true?

I hope he keeps tweeting so i can buy more cheap shares of QQQ

PhysInstrumentalist

Its going to be a choppy week, trade SPY or QQQ only

PM-ME-GOOD-NEWS

From what I read you cant hold USO long term nor UCO because of volatility decay. So I still dont know what to hold long for oil. In my experience USO and SQQQ are directly proportional since both are the opposite of QQQ bullishness.

U-B-Ware

I thought the accelerated inclusion and increased weighting from smaller float stocks was only an issue for QQQ? Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but wouldn't other funds like VTI not have the same issue and still allow longer price discovery periods?

dissentmemo

And QQQ isn't great anyway

VicenteOlisipo

Not SPY/QQQ. The war impact is not being priced in because of the blatant manipulation, and S&P + NASDAQ are changing the rules to make us hold the bag on the colossal IPOs of Mr Musk and Mr Altman.

Tricky_Recording5222

Pilot being rescued is good for at least a +1% move in QQQ

No-Improvement3164

How much capital are we talking to move SPY and QQQ.

likwitsnake

New rules won't effect VTI immediately, the fast tracking will happen on the Nasdag so unless you're holding QQQ or the Nasdaq 1000 you're not going to be effected. Also VTI is very well diversified it's top holding is NVIDIA at 6%, SpaceX could be added then immediately go to $0 and it wouldn't have a massive effect on the ETF (although that scenario would inevitably mean something is wrong with the market as a whole)

BuffMaltese

Sold out of the money QQQ call spreads, bought TSLA put spreads and MRVL puts.

zxc123zxc123

Hey at least we can agree that there is some BS. I also came to the conclusion that BOTH: 1. AI/Mag8 being fake hype and an AI bubble 2. AI/Mag8 actually disrupting SaaS with AI Can't both be true. Or at least not true to the extent that the market is pricing. Congrats on reaching 1st order of effect thinking. That makes you smarter than the average WSB regard. Sadly 1st order isn't worth much when there is 2nd/3rd/4th/5th/Nth. >Positions: Puts on QQQ, XLK, XLF. Long duration. I'll go with MSFT/MAG8/VOO + reserve of gold/STnotes. If it dips buy more. I'm also bearish on the market/economy, but being a 🌈🐻 is hard and often a loser's game. I'd rather be defensive and keep buying dips.

FurlessSasquatch

Well done both of you. I went QQQ 630 to 560. Cleared all downside positions there. Now just back to scalping both sides of ES

ai-moderator

# TLDR --- **Ticker**: QQQ, XLK, XLF **Direction**: Down 📉 **Prognosis**: Buy long-duration Puts **Boomer Fantasy**: "AI is killing SaaS! Just build it in-house!" 👴💭 **Actual Reality**: The entire tech and AI sector is taking a massive shit together 💩🔥

Big_Generator

That is *the best* way to trade options! You can buy and sell *hundreds* of contracts a month and there are no tax implications until you take distributions. If option trading was disallowed everyone would just pile money into index funds and you can see how well that strategy works in a flat market like 2026 so far. (SPY down almost 4%, QQQ almost 5%). Oof!

katrav86

yeah. so if you have sold naked puts on NVDA you sell short QQQ shares to build a hedge If you have NOT sold naked puts on NVDA, you sell short QQQ shares to hedge other people's portfolios. it's called doing the Lord's work

katrav86

QQQ is strictly for shorting. NVDA is for selling naked straddles.

testy_balls

If at the absolute worst possible point to buy QQQ leads to the same result as buying broad market over a long time horizon, then you're making a pretty good case to buy QQQ

>Choosing QQQM is not some completely different idea. It is the same basic choice, just taken one step further. Not really. Normal Bogle philosophy *does* suggest an international allocation, but to the extent it's still US-centric, it's not a bet on US growth specifically, but rather to remove currency risk. In other countries, the Bogle recommendation is to go heavily into *their* native VTI-equivalent. >Then it is reasonable to argue for concentrating in the Nasdaq-100, which is made up of many of the most profitable and scalable companies in the country. Except that the top of the NASDAQ is already very expensive *precisely because* everyone understands that those companies are scalable and profitable. And everything you said could have been said 30 years ago about the companies that then topped the market: GE, Shell, Exxon, etc. You could make a really strong case then that energy was the future, and so anyone betting against those already giant and profitable companies was being dumb. That prediction was wrong. Yours is likely to be, also. The market has always seen churn, with different companies rising to the top. You're the one betting that cycle is going to end, and you're not really making a strong argument that way. But I know I'm not likely to change your mind. If you started investing over the past 10 years, you've only seen a QQQ-dominant world. It's hard to imagine that ever changing, I know ... but people in every age have thought that and they've all been proven wrong by time.

BigDummy1286

I did similar with 584 QQQ puts expiring 4/2. Sold them immediately and pocketed the cash. There have been a few times I’ve regretted selling early (106 SLV puts 1 dte that were at 86 and went to 76 by EOD) but I generally take the profit if I can at open

Nice-Truck8806

Counterpoint regarding VOO: the top 500 US based companies.... aren't *really* US companies. They're all multinational regardless of where they are incorporated. I would argue it's just currency risk, not country risk. SPX funds also have lower fees that funds like VT. As for VT: they have holdings in countries that are typically seen as uninvestable. no other countries have robust consumer protection like the US, and some countries don't even require corporations to release earnings statements, balance sheets, etc. They're like 1920s stock markets. Even if they get a high risk premium, many people don't think the risk of fraud is properly compensated. As for QQQ: based on the same logic, you should buy OTM LEAPS instead. how aggressive is too aggressive when you're early in your timeline?

kountconk

Is there any hope for real downside next week? We floated on low volume, have a ton of overhead resistance on SPY, and not a lot of volume on support until 639. Can we please, *please* have some consistent downside, for once, so bears can eat? Or are we going to continue have oil spike and somehow SPY just bounces from here to 700 for no apparent reason other than "Buy the dip, guys! Bottom is in!" This shit is insanely frustrating bears got like an hour or 30 minutes to eat before market inexplicably rips to the upside. Hope bulls get completely slaughtered this month sick of this shit man. SPY to 625 and QQQ to 545 this fucking week. Let's let oil rip and dive to a lower low.

Technical_Scallion_2

You are absolutely right, and I actually had the sell order ready and was about to hit submit, but I got greedy. I was down for the week, and instead of being OK with 300% I got greedy for 500%, because it seemed like every time I sold, it went up 2x5x more. But never again, I’m always going to sell half at open going forward. I did buy a whole bunch of put options near close, but the IV premium was so high I was paying $3 for a $3 OTM QQQ put. I basically needed a 1% gap down just to break even, so I sold right away (at a loss of course). I still have 50 QQQ 4/7 560 puts but it would need to be a disaster Monday for those to have a chance.

Even if you lumped summed QQQ in 2000 your portfolio right now is pretty similar to if you done the same for SP500.

OkDiver6272

$63 invested in typical broad ETF/Mutual fund (SPY, QQQ, VOO, etc) and left for 20 years would be about $650k - and that’s without adding another dime. After 30 years you’re talking $2.2 million. 40 years, $7.5M
