breaking news! QQQ opens 625, and goes to 630. All in a half day of trading! Someone pinch me.
Makes me wish I had the stock for a QQQ covered call. I've never seen such sure money.
Options are best deep in the money (20% or more away from current price) and 60-90 days out. You need to sell the option if there is a significant profit because the correlation to any particular stock is weak. You are really hedging a change in sentiment. If there is a market wide selloff in tech, it will bring down QQQ and TQQQ. Markets overshoot and rebound, so take your profits.
Looks like QQQ calls at open as usual.
SQQQ is the leveraged inverse QQQ ETF. TQQQ is the leveraged ETF in the same direction as QQQ. If you stock moves with the NASDAQ 100, you hedge is to buy SQQQ or buy put options on TQQQ.
unfortunately, there really is not explicit way to hedge RSU vesting. because majority (if not all) public companies have a clause about employees not buying/selling derivatives of their company. So depending on which company you are in, it could be tricky. if your company is in QQQ or any ETFs, i would also doublecheck with someone that knows for sure if you can trade options in QQQ. lastly, if your company isnt in QQQ, hedging via QQQ might not even be enough of a hedge
Thanks for the comment. See my edit. I am not allowed to purchase options against the stock directly, but I can purchase options on tech and tech heavy ETFs. Like QQQ, TQQQ, and VGT.
Panic sold 1,577 shares of QQQ and 8.7 BTC in April. Also sold a residential rental, a piece of vacant land, and a flip. I’m retired and do not have an income, so I needed some free cash to fund my lifestyle. My trading account still managed to beat the S&P due to some asymmetric positions in RKLB & PLTR.
Got 100 HOOD called away at $125 46$ cost basis Put into ASTS at 61$ cost basis and some QQQ and it’s feeling great already
maybe QQQ only lands at like 626 tmrw. But even then I will be happy.
Give me that same energy on QQQ 🙏
I need it by Friday, give me some 1% days on QQQ please in the name of baby Jesus
Shit you have 5K left.. nows not the time to stop being an idiot. Buy some QQQ calls and start praying
Jesus, when something is clearly not working for you, maybe pivot? Options are not your friendly. If you had thrown money at QQQ you’d be fine.
Stay away from leverage and options. Just DCA into QQQ, and as a hedge, some BTC and gold. Thats it. That’s all you need.
Recession is canceled! SPY QQQ
I’m in 350 QQQ 625 calls for tomorrow. With a .13 cost basis.
tomorrow is obvious. QQQ 630, SPY 690. Maybe even higher.
I got some downvotes, but I am betting my ballsack QQQ 630 EOW
Every chart looks the same: SPY, QQQ, GLD, SLV - all flatlined as fuck. My puts are screwed. My calls are screwed. It’s all screwed, I tell ya!
Shorted more QQQ at 621.9 and 622, to hedge my long positions. Index and VIX are showing negative divergence.
I know it's not a very popular take and I'm viewed as a Debbie Downer, but we're fairly close to what our max out would've been regardless on the SPX imo. I know, sounds crazy with the tariff crash and what not. But hear me out, there's no telling what would've occurred if that foolish tariff board wasn't whipped out. I do NOT think that initial QQQ move down by about 13% into mid-March was just tariff fears related, I think it was also AI fears, and frankly, I think this part of the proceedings was dominated by AI fears, not mainly pricing in tariff worries, so I'm of the opinion a move down was always going to verify early this year. My guess is this story will play out again early next year. The Nasdaq will fall and drag everything with it on AI fears, it might get ugly, but now I'm not sure it'll be sticky (probably won't be).
VIX back to the the lows but SPY not quite ATH and QQQ not even close Just something to take note of
QQQ $630 by Friday close - too optimistic?
QQQ up, TSLA down. I'm here for this all day, every day.
QQQ tmrw at 630 is just obvious full port calls

QQQ get back to 621 I believe in you

i say QQQ goes to 624-623 end of day. We see near ATHS if not ATHs tomorrow.
What do you think about QQQ 625 Calls exp Friday?
With a 500K, you shouldn’t even have to try and hit homeruns anymore. You have enough to put the majority into SPY, QQQ, VOO…and just let it sit there without having to make a single trade for years. Grinding buy-side options for the majority of your capital has a extremely high risk of ruin for short-dated options and I can never understand how gamblers here (let’s not call them traders) get destroyed. All the graphs are the same. A sharp spike up and then eventually losing most if not all of their account. I always say, it’s the first spike that gets them. Everyone is always 100% exposed. Managing risk is the single most important aspect of becoming a winning trader over the long run.
Ok I've got puts for SPY/QQQ/TSLA a few months out and like 30 in different VIX instruments Markets in just asking for one minor pullback by like end of February ok
Trying so hard to keep QQQ down. This shit gunna bust all over the screen

Shorted more QQQ at 621.2, intraday top might be in.
My trading signal shows market is getting ahead of its self. Therefore, I shorted some QQQ at 621; just IN CASE 😄

“We need more data” + .25% rate cut QQQ gaps up 0.8% Same thing happened each time
I want to buy QQQ puts, but man VIX is abysmal right now.
Bubbles don’t have to be identical, and people probably believe that the largest position of SPY and QQQ can drop 50% or more if some of the big players like googl or msft say they will cut back on their GPU investments. AI will not go anywhere, that is for sure. But there is a real risk the market will yield no returns for the next 10 years. It has happened many times before and it is probably what scares people

Covered QQQ shorts at 617.8 (from 620, 620.4 and 620.7); tough money but happy 🤣
can’t even explain how fucking mad I am that QQQ is not pushing for ATHs
Congratulations. You're in a bull market and you're using margin. You would have been onpar or beaten this if you held QQQ. You are taking on incredible amounts of risk and you are oblivious to it.
this shit really sucks. Going back to bed. QQQ 630 tmrw.
My dumbass YOLO’d into QQQ calls expiring today right before close yesterday. Somehow I managed to get out alive when the market opened 😬
if QQQ doesn’t end at at least 624 count me out for the next couple of months.
this is fucking ridiculous. QQQ should be pushing for ATHs.
Shorted more QQQ at 620.7, voori good.
Shorted QQQ again at 620 and 620.4 😆😆 what a turnaround
I appreciate your response. I am fine to fail the asisgnments! >Berkshire, might as well recommend bitcoin. It’s better than QQQ because it’s outperformed it the past 10yrs Regarding this: Right, bitcoin outperformed by speculation and trading, but did not go up due to its income producing capabilities. The market price is decided by trading value, but with intrinsic value. If all bitcoins are 100% bought by single person, say buffet kind of investor, will it have any value? This is riskier, why? If all NDX companies are 100% bought by single person, will it have any value? => This one has value. Investor pays market price that is equal to all future income! If OP is asking other than speculative assets, he is asking to exclude income producing assets. OP is trying to research a null solution, what to do?
Covered my QQQ shorts around 617.5 (from 619.3, 619.5 and 619.7) and took profit, tough gain buy happy 😆😆😆
Saw someone yesterday say QQQ puts would be free money today
Open an account on Charles Schwab or whatever you want. Start out with positions like VOO QQQ and Google ‘mag7’ stocks.
You aren’t getting downvoted because you failed the assignment, it has nothing to do with what OP requested in the post. All you are saying is because it outperformed, might as well recommend bitcoin. It’s better than QQQ because it’s outperformed it the past 10yrs

There are a few ways to make money off of trading. I believe the title is incorrect. People don’t invest in the short term. 1. You can buy options when stocks etfs go up and make a lot of money with limited principal money. For falling stock prices you would buy puts. 2. You could buy individual stocks or leveraged 2x etf of stocks. When you have like 20k to 100k to work with just one percent change can mean you make $200 to $1000. Some people call it scalping. 3. You could trade on margin (borrowing money from your brokerage) I will say each are risky. It’s quite easy to lose your money so when starting off bet only what your willing to lose. Also… YOLO. It may seem you’ll miss great opportunities… but don’t fall into yolo. Buy when stocks are trending up. Buy low sell high. Good luck. For comparison. Hysa is 3-4% or cd. This is your base. Total market index is like 7-15% VOO or VTI. Most people invest in this. Slightly riskier with higher rewards would be QQQ, FAANG, magnificent 7 (mags), nvda Growth stocks: HOOD, PLTR, rklb, asts, rddt, sofi, onds
QQQ green, the rally has started
I have QQQ puts expire tomorrow, so you retarded bulls should be fine. I literally never hit
QQQ day trader here with Schwab and I rarely use TOS anymore for 0dte. Webull offers better fills on 0dte QQQ for me. The turbo trader is excellent on desktop and mobile. I can scalp on mobile, something TOS mobile is not capable of. At Webull, one trade would cost .11 vs 1.02 with Schwab. I just noticed recently, I’m only paying .03 a trade now. I’m earning an extra .99 cents per trade using Webull vs Schwab. We both know how much more profit this is per day but this isn’t the best, the best is that my trades get executed instantly without fake slippage that happens with 0dte at Schwab. If you look at the TOS mobile app, you can see what exchange made the trade. When there’s no exchange listed, I highly believe it’s in house trading and it’s always these ones that cause massive slippage and delays that give you horrible prices with a high volume 0dte option market. I don’t experience this with Webull, when I press buy or sell, I get what I expect vs Schwab. Ive been filled outside of NBBO many times 0dte trading on TOS. Schwab is the superior brokerage platform but not for 0dte. These comments here don’t understand the difference between normal option trading vs 0dte scalping and how lowered Schwab fees can still eat 20-50% of daily profits.
Even though Berkshire does not have any real match, Check QQQ vs BRK/B after 10 years (or even 20 years) and let me know. Last 20 years, BRK.B is 604% vs SPY 616% (dividend reinvested). For the same period QQQ is 14%-16% YOY vs SPY 9%-10% Hence, my real choice is QQQ Before writing this, I knew I will get down voted, but my choice is QQQ. RemindMe! 10 years RemindMe! 20 years

QQQ Calls at open as usual. Works like 80% of the time
You own 24,000 shares of QQQ? What are you going to do if it drops 20%?
Surely you are joking. The QQQ isn’t even close to being similar to Berkshire
Thanks for the info. Interesting to know, since I've never done SPY/QQQ calls. What strike were those calls at? and you do know that $334k is a drop in the bucket, when it comes to SPY, right?
You have till 15 mins after close to buy or sell SPY/QQQ calls
Throw it all into SPY calls 2 weeks out and pray to the tendie gods Or you know, boring stuff like QQQ/VOO if you actually want to keep that money lmao

QQQ prolly gonna open 621 and go 624-625 tomorrow im so excited i could cum
IWM options are the same if not cheaper than QQQ
QQQ more selling on the way down and less buying on the way up.
I tried that too! Probably like you, I thought it would be a hybrid sort of position that didn't lose value overall, then sell premium against it. But I think the daily drag of the leveraged ETFs makes it not work. Lately I've been playing with the Double Diagonal as a similar sort of thing. Buy a straddle or a strangle on something maybe a year out. Stock goes up, the Call goes up, covering the loss in the Put. And vice versa. So the net position stays kind of constant, minus daily theta decay. Then sell premium against that, maybe 30-delta Puts and Calls. Some of that covers the theta decay of the long options, and the rest is profit. QQQ or even SPY has enough IV to make it worthwhile, but after a lot of reading and fiddling I haven't found the best Deltas to buy the long Call and Put at. You can do them OTM or ITM or even ATM, and they sort of behave the same, but the cost of the trade and the Buying Power Reduction change as you fiddle with the long legs. Here's one on QQQ that OptionStrat built by default for me: [https://optionstrat.com/RWIf6lBwR1Z2](https://optionstrat.com/RWIf6lBwR1Z2)
Have not traded IWM. To pricy for me. XSP, SPY and QQQ. I pick one of those Mondsys and Wed. Friday up in the air. I may credit spreads on something trending. Only if the premiums are there. Right now I’m have luck with credit spreads and debit butterfly’s. With a limit order. This market is hard to judge with no clear trend line. Plus low volume does not help at all.
