I really should have switched to QQQ weeks ago, SPY doesn’t fucking move anymore
Left my QQQ short open over the weekend. Feel like I could regret that.
Voo and QQQ is what I will say to focus on like many others have stated here. Best to you
I’m stuck in this sector for about 10 years now. It sickens me to realize that if I had just stuck my money in the S&P or the QQQ and just gone away like Rip van Winkle, I would wake up today with about 300% more than of what I had when I started. But the question about why I’m still hanging in there with my shares of GRUSF in a couple other small bets it’s difficult to answer. Is it cost fallacy? Is it fear of missing out that the next rally will come and how could I live with myself if I was not participating in it at least to some degree? Is it just a real belief that there is value that has not been recognized in this sector and that surely patient will pay off even if it does take two decades? Or is it just inability to admit that I’m wrong my ego? Like sky and some others, I transferred the better part of my Cannabis portfolio about a year or more ago into tech stocks, and that was a great move, and probably is the reason I have any money left in my portfolio. Truth is, it’s probably all of the above. My plan now is to wait until GRUSF m’s next report and if we can’t get any traction, then perhaps I will take the exit. It means I’d have to live in fear of this fantastic opportunity of a lifetime super rally. More than likely, my daughters will be inheriting a few shares in my portfolio that are left, that were never sold
So QQQ gaps down 3% on Monday?
I concur, and some advisors might also tell you that QQQ is less exposed than SPY to any AI bubble because it doesn’t purely use market cap to determine portfolio weight, unlike SPY.
Bro is the type of guy to buy puts when QQQ is super over extended to the downside and away from the short term moving averages. It's an index it doesn't go straight down regard
Dollar cost averaging into VTI is fine. I also like VOO and QQQ. The key is to invest on a schedule instead of lump sums once a year to limit the impact of market volatility.
You’re 18. Stop gambling away thousands and learn to buy and hold index ETFs like SPY, VOO, and QQQ, or the international equivalents.
I mean ITM leaps are basically just stock replacement strategy. I enjoy buying 2 year LEAPs on SPY and QQQ with very conservative break even points. You can get a 2 year LEAP on QQQ with a break even of 10% (thats basically asking for 5% a year) for like 9K or something. 5% a year is not a lot to ask of QQQ particularly when 3% of that is just inflation. You get leverage, don't have to pick stocks and always can roll it with minimal cost.
I cut my last loser about 2 hours before close, 687 put. Not half an hour later QQQ suddenly plummeted to 684. Honestly what a sh!tshow of a day, someone would have probably made thousands inversing every decision I made today
Interesting split. The caveat about inferred dealer positioning is the key one. Have you stress-tested net GEX and the flip levels under alternative positioning conventions? OI identifies open contracts, but not who owns which side, so a central estimate with sensitivity bands would be more useful than one exact flip. How are you moving the volatility surface when solving for the flip: sticky strike, sticky delta, or a refitted smile at each spot? Holding each contract’s IV fixed while moving spot can materially shift the flip, particularly post-OpEx when near-dated gamma dominates. Are these deliberately ETF-chain calculations, or do you incorporate SPX/NDX/RUT and futures options? Without those, I’d interpret the figures as SPY/QQQ/IWM option exposure rather than total dealer gamma for the underlying indexes. The clean validation target seems non-directional: whether subsequent realized variance and short-horizon return persistence change with net gamma and distance from the flip, tested out of sample. Are you planning to publish that validation as the history grows?
This is greed! Options are great instruments if you use them wisely. I’m up 16.85% ytd and exclusively play options. Woulda been up 23% if QQQ didn’t shit the bed so bad last few days. Even if it drops to 600 now my ytd gains would be +7.1% My rules: No 0dtes, err on the side of selling options although I do buy them but mostly in spreads, when I enter a trade define exit and thesis, think about what’s the worst that could happen

My QQQ 690 taco calls agree
It took so much effort to just barely beat QQQ for brief moments of time this year, while on the downswing my port drops by multiples of QQQ's drop. Such fucking bullshit
July is really bad for the QQQ.. if next week drills just 1 more %, we are officially in a correction mode.
Stop thinking of options as something different or unique, it's simply shares with leverage. Unless you have a hedge fund portfolio you don't need to be selling options. Picking direction is a losing game as you've seen. The only tuition here is what you did is gambling, not investing. Buy and hold QQQ and check back in 30 years will outperform whatever you attempt.
mostly QQQ and mu options
Plan to get back on break even QQQ back to 704 on weekend TACO news and my calls print +4000% Put all profits in NBIS and SNDK calls hoping for a +500% And that’s for breakeven. What a great fucking 2 weeks ass fuckery
QQQ 750c will be worth its weight in platinum soon enough
SCHD 20% YTD QQQ 11.5% YTD Not even factoring distributions. I hate it here.
i was negative trading the QQQ and am now positive so there’s that
LFG bols! QQQ rollover is starting to pick up momentum, so plan for next week is calls Mon - Tues (sell Wed) and puts Wed - Fri (see Fri)
That’s the kind of thinking that leaves you behind in broadening market. I’m not suggesting you don’t allocate QQQ, but you need at least a 20% allocation to RSP. Good luck.

Full porting QQQ calls at close was either the most regarded thing that has happened in my ancestral line ever, or it was 7D chess move no mortal feeble mind can never understand.
When was the last time QQQ -10% while SPY and DJI -1%
Portfolio keeps getting nuked every day while SPY just teeters around ATH. QQQ not even -10%. Shit is exhausting. Good news doesn’t even matter anymore if your company is AI adjacent. It is just a free for all shorting every company.
Right at close I BTO; 2x GEV 7/31 1010c @36.17, 3x QQQ 7/27 685c @4.09, 5x SPY 7/27 740c @2.14.

Up ~33% in the last 5 years. Riding the QQQ and to just smoke a ciggy on red days is better.

Bought 700c QQQ for Monday. Decided I’m done losing money so either this hits and I leave or it doesn’t and I leave. See yall at Wendy’s
>Michael Burry said he is doubling down on several of his bearish bets against technology stocks, adding to short positions in Nvidia and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF while insisting he has not covered his profitable wager against Tesla. >Burry said he continues to hold a sizable position in Nvidia put options and remains short the Invesco QQQ Trust through puts as well as Palantir Technologies. >Explaining his Nvidia thesis, Burry argued that demand for AI infrastructure is being driven less by end customers than by financing arrangements. He said “much and possibly most” current and future demand is financed off balance sheet in a circular arrangement. Damn Mikey B calling out the posers and standing 10 toes in on ber business!
QQQ 300 puts absolutely free money, stocks only go down.
If you seriously thought Lebron would retire, I have some QQQ calls to sell you. Really, I do.
I look for similar premiums but use daily/weekly resistance levels as well as $5 strikes. I’ve been trying to time the daily reversal on QQQ for the last month and wish I was just using my account. I limited it to days where the initial move is over 1.5% and it’s helped a lot. Have been planning to go blackjack with half my account one day if honest but maybe I’ll just try to do small daily thing for good.
QQQ calls here is basically free money
Damn, QQQ at lowest since early May. Wild
QQQ so much weaker than SPY
If you look at $VTI, ($SPY), $VXUS, $VT, and the $QQQ charts, the Nasdaq is the only index close to falling below prior support levels. If I was a bigger gambler I would buy $QQQ, but I'd rather take my shot buying $SOXX at $498 if it retest support. I did buy $VXUS yesterday at near the same price as it is now so I guess I did take 1 shot at a bounce into close today.
QQQ 690 close to cuck poots
A few QQQ bull spreads for next week will do nicely here 🤗
These green candles on QQQ are too weak and limp
brb taking a break from fucking yo shit up - QQQ
QQQ will V on my life
Some goddamn regard savant on the daily earlier said QQQ to 685 then v back to flat then back to 685 So I just followed his wisdom and made 10K when everybody’s losing their minds 😂 Wtf…wizard show yourself!! You know who you are! 🥹
24k volume red candle on QQQ was even bigger than the 58k red candle for a moment LMAO
buying more QQQ 700 Calls for next Friday.
Amazing triple bottom on SPY and double bottom on QQQ. Only up from here. Well, maybe.
* RSP (Equal weight S&P 500): +0.7% * QQQ: -1%
Thinking of full porting 3x leveraged QQQ for a quick 30% once we reach ath again
QQQ back to 690 next week?
MM must have plans this weekend started power hour early with that QQQ dump last 30 min. They'll turn it over to intern with strict instructions to make sure it stays sideways from 3:00-3:50 but interns always fuk shit up so hopefully more action to come lol
QQQ is trading like Trump is going to sign off on an escalation this weekend
Disaster next week if QQQ closes under 685
Well that dip buy failed to work. I think the end result of this considering the world we seem to be in is a slow, painful grind to at least $635-640ish QQQ (edit: probably the point this ends). I'd really much rather we do what was done in 2024, but stairstep lower and elevator up seems to be the agenda now.
Say I won’t load up on QQQ calls rn
So I've been putting small amounts into fractional shares for a few months, mostly just buying whatever looked good that week, and I finally sat down and looked at what I actually own. It's a mess. (side note: I am using Robinhood) **Current holdings:** |Ticker|Shares|Price|Value|%| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |SMH|0.127803|$578.79|$73.97|31.1%| |QQQ|0.0992|$691.67|$68.61|28.9%| |VTI|0.081257|$365.11|$29.67|12.5%| |SCHD|0.762104|$32.83|$25.02|10.5%| |SPY|0.026723|$738.97|$19.75|8.3%| |VOO|0.021806|$679.23|$14.81|6.2%| |NVDA|0.02824|$207.18|$5.85|2.5%| |**Total**|||**$237.68**|**100%**| I'm fine taking on a moderate amount, I'm not trying to be super conservative at my age. But I also don't want the whole account riding on semiconductors. I'd like most of it to be something boring and steady with a smaller portion that has more upside. What do I keep? What do I drop? What should I buy? Any input is appreciated. I plan on putting in $50 a month, and $1000 next month.
jesus fucking christ i will sacrifice one of my balls for a green QQQ day
QQQ back below open and heading to day lows right on time for sour hour.
QQQ 7/27 700 calls super cheap. I just picked some up.
Actual fear, otherwise people are just rotating from one sector to another every day all while Semis bleed QQQ out.
SPY and QQQ diverging is interesting
This looks too bearish on QQQ im exiting my calls after it hits 689 again
you should see how much i lost on QQQ calls
QQQ calls are free money
QQQ now down 8% from its peak on 3 june. doesn’t look like earning season is gonna save anyone 😂😂 fucking 🥭
Watching QQQ 1m candles and just seeing green candles get shut down is so sad, esp when it was a decent green candle
That draw down on QQQ is so saddening
And now QQQ has a huge green candle with a 35k volume candle 😳
Far OTM wouldn't be that bad because it can't lose that much. QQQ sometimes has very very big spikes in seconds that's what happened to me
Crooked V QQQ... ur so goated
Without 🥭 manipulation QQQ would be back at 630
2 green candles 40k volume on QQQ pumping it, crazy style
Please dont fail this V QQQ CLIMB HIGHER
Yeah im out of QQQ. Between the fuckn ai nonsense and bag holding elons shit companies theres nothing positive.
I have observed on QQQ that there is a specific dollar premium that are the exact price I’m looking forward to swing trade. I only trade $5 strikes but a NTM and OTM options that are the most convex in the 0DTE space are around $0.3-$0.4 and $0.5-$0.65. This seems to be the floor of compressed options before our reversal so I’m basically always looking for premium around this price when it appears we could reverse trend direction. I’ve had a lot of success similar to you but I tend to hold for an hour or two as I can get a good entry and guaranteed profit on a stop loss with this sort of approach only behind the cheapest, most depressed options before a rebound. Small dollar amount always compounds. Less risk of ruin. Can easily 100-700% these contracts every day specially if you track a specific index and notice that we happen to display signs of mean reversion or momentum or pinning at specific times due to option flows.
The red candle... IT BURNS QQQ
#SPY is down -2% from its all time high whereas QQQ is down -9% from its high LMAO🤌
