If you think QQQ OR TQQQ you prolly like trump
Wowww QQQ +2% overnight
Would be lovely if we can retake QQQ ATH again 🥰
AMD earnings tomo will carry QQQ to 710 tomo ah, 715 wed, 720 thu, 725 fri
The correlation has only appeared over the last 4-6 months. Where there used to be almost none. Pull up a chart of QQQ and Kospi and overlay them. It’s never even been a thing until all these retail traders started obsessing over Kospi. Now you’ve all given the Algos fresh training data the more you talk about it.
You all are creating a self reenforcing correlation with Kospi that doesn’t exist. You are training algos to feed off of this. US markets are over $70 trillion. Kospi is less than $3 trillion. There has historically been almost no correlation with QQQ until all of you started caring about Kospi and their 2 memory stocks.
why does everyone say VOO and not SPY/QQQ
PLTR is the most evil ass Big Brother nanny state dystopian company out there .........but if it props QQQ up then i'm like uh whatever, nanny state is better than chyna dominating the global stage amirite????
**SPY:** $758.41 (+1.52%). Closed at $757.67, holding above VWAP of $755.79. **QQQ:** $700.60 (+1.83%). Closed at $700.07, pushed through $700 on the day. Nasdaq-100 technically in correction from the June peak, but both printed green today. After-hours trading quiet so far — SPY +$0.09, QQQ +$0.18.
Odds of QQQ reaching 715 before Friday? Sitting on 8/7 700c. Was up 75% 2 wks ago, down 75% last week, now just hoping to break even.
SMH, QQQ, and chill
u/Dismal-Access7599: > okay now keep quiet and let your QQQ slowly buy SPCX I replied to your statement, who gives a shit about PLTR in this context? Lay off the pipe. Or maybe use an LLM so it can explain to you the conversation in this thread.
QQQ dropped 11% in July whereas SPY only dropped 3%. I was expecting that SPY will also correct 10% and QQQ will most likely close 20% down. I keep cash ready for this assumption. Looks like i wqs wrong again. My cash awaits.
I held calls through the longest QQQ red run in a decade and sold at -1.6% on the FOMC -2% day which was followed by the +3.3% QQQ day that I couldn’t get back into calls on until QQQ was already +3% on the day. I knew I wasn’t retarded for holding, but I did end up being retarded for selling. As expected.
> okay now keep quiet and let your QQQ slowly buy SPCX Not sure you're aware which conversation you're even in. Who said anything about Palantir? Lay off the pipe.
okay now keep quiet and let your QQQ slowly buy SPCX

Dow 1929 to nasdaq 100. I just follow patterns and conditions. Roughly 30% pump in 2 months is a clear sign of a blow off top. We saw a correction over the course of about a month - month and a half (roughly over 10%, look up Babson break) and now we’re seeing a futile pump of about 6% from the correction low. Given the similarities in conditions, primarily the involvement of leverage and debt and huge companies which are universally seen as too big to fail (standard oil, RCA, american steel co vs apple, nvda, msft), I can only conclude this is a 1929-like event, and will result in a painful and terrible crash, instead of say the dot com bubble unwinding, which was slow and steady. We will see QQQ hit about 375 in a month to a month and a half

Last time kospians woke up to a +3% QQQ day they got +15%, so since we about +2% they will get atleast +10% pump airtight?
"hey siri, buy 0DTE on QQQ"
Markets will look for any small reason to pump. SPY & QQQ are still pumping after hours.... the only way markets will freak out again is if the IRGC starts attacking ships again.
Enjoy QQQ at 700 while it lasts
Selling all stocks for profit and going into QQQ VOO and GLD for the year
QQQ 700.00 totally legal very cool
It's still thinly traded to my knowledge. I mentioned it as a possibility because I thought the previous commenter may have been complaining about the high notional value on NDX. If you want high volume and tight spreads, best to stick with QQQ. However, depending on trading style the tax advantages of NDX/XND may outweigh value lost to their wide spreads.
I did a similar thing, but with QQQ. Made like 30 bucks, left hundreds on the table.
SPY making some room for QQQ?
looks weird seeing QQQ outperform SOXL on a green day
At this points. People just want an excuse to get QQQ/SPY/SMH to ATH....
Whoa...It just won't stop going up. I think I will full port QQQ calls now.
OI on the 0DTE QQQ 700C is pretty high, can't imagine those close ITM.
SPY like $2 from ATH while QQQ is about $50 Do what you will with this knowledge
QQQ will never see 700 again 😂

The cost of beef is something you might want to consider. Long on the position, you're just fine. MCD is a fantastic blue chip stock. Another thing worth mentioning is that MCD usually falls in market perform - meaning its return is usually very similar to the benchmark, SPY. Over the past 5 years, SPY has actually outperformed MCD. So if you feel like the market narrative since 2020 is any indication of the future trajectory/trend, you are taking concentrated exposure risk for same or lesser returns than owning the broader market, SPY. If you're a nasdaq investor, MCD is an under-performer (worse performance than QQQ). Risk-adjusted return is the enemy with this one. If you get in at an attractive price, you're golden and the forward return should be greater than the opportunity cost of other investment options available. I would refrain from buying something just because the technical charts make the price per share look "cheap". Best of luck!
QQQ still 40 off ATH, room to run
Sold my QQQ calls wayyy to early missed a whole 4k

Just a little $40 bounce on QQQ over the last three trading days. Totally cool and totally normal.
QQQ 720 tomorrow because why not It'd just be a victory lap around *Ursidae Homosexualis*
At over 200k, I would be prioritizing traditional contributions to your 401k before Roth. Investing wise, it sounds fine. QQQ is fine although it’s a big bet on tech. I would recommend VOO being a larger portion of your portfolio than QQQ.
Stop, my QQQ puts are already dead
QQQ we’re so close to 700.. just do it and make daddy happy
anyone else mainly in QQQ/TQQQ and still down on the month? Port went from 27k -> 18k -> 23k still got a few thousands to go before it evens out

This is an old post but .. Amazon is a longterm hold for me. I bought 100 shares in 2023 and then 60 more when it was still low. They have had huge expenses as a company so this and Microsoft were my two under 10% of my portfolio equity pics to watch while they build up their infrastructure. I have an appx 15-25 year window before I draw on this account. AMZ can swing and languish as much as it wants in this time frame and I expect all sorts of changes in the company during this timeframe, but in the past three years it has carried my portfolio and the value of the AMZ in the portfolio has more than doubled. It has outperformed every single ETF I have. I’m not selling it anytime soon though, so that doesn’t mean anything. You made a profit on your sale and that can be more than enough. I like longterm picks that I expect to grow bigger and faster in the longterm than even QQQ/QQQM and the S&P tracking those same companies. It has done that for me. I’ll sell when I sense the company doesn’t have a plan that can perform at that level.
What is going on? QQQ hasn't moved this slowly in years. It's ticking up by cents instead of 30 cents at a time.
still down because my port is mostly in QQQ, wouldve been breakeven on the month if i held my msft and googl IM MALDING
Thank God I closed my 0dte QQQ 699s Calls for $10 (currently $100) or my wife might have left her boyfriend and come home.

Great place to add QQQ puts later this week if sndk or AMD somehow have a bad reaction on earnings.
Sold my QQQ calls for a $126 loss, would be up over 2k but i sold since i was at work and can't use my phone....
selling all my AI winners and rotating into QQQ for the year to risky now and up 140% ytd
IGV and MAGS running the show. how can you say the QQQ's arent any worse than the KOSPI?
Username checks out. What does it take to get the bull market back? Two green days in a row? QQQ is still what 10% off the ATH? Isn't a bull market supposed to mean higher highs, not lower lows? If I was a betting person, I might put the odds of tomorrow being a green day at higher than 50% at least, but that doesn't a bull market make. If you are really going to call this a bull market, then quit with the spreads. If the VIX is too high for you, then just use shares.
Paper handed my QQQ calls at open. Feelsbadman
Kicking myself for not following through on getting RDDT calls on open but up on SPX and QQQ so it's alright I suppose
dumped a bunch of 0dte QQQ 699s for $10 a pop on the open because I thought this was another fake cease fire. 🤡
Wrong. Literally the day this SEC ruling happened was the bottom. [https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/02/2026-06365/order-regarding-the-collateral-broker-dealers-may-pledge-when-borrowing-customer-securities](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/04/02/2026-06365/order-regarding-the-collateral-broker-dealers-may-pledge-when-borrowing-customer-securities) The SEC stepped in, quietly changed the rules and removed the contingency that brokers have to back certain transactions/stock loans with US dollars, bank vouchers or US dollar equivalents. Instead said they can start using SPY, IWM, QQQ and other index funds or even baskets of individual stocks in those funds marked to market. What this did is explode the level of risk in our markets and supercharged the level of leverage based on loaning stock shares in the market. They now borrow shares from other brokers based on shares they have. There is really no limit to how insanely leveraged based on nothing they can get now. AI summary for you - Order Regarding the Collateral Broker-Dealers May Pledge When Borrowing Customer Securities on March 30, 2026, allowing broker-dealers to use specific large-cap equity baskets as collateral under Rule 15c3-3. This update expands permissible collateral, improves liquidity, and modifies operational standards for U.S. securities lending.
When I had calls on MSFT it either went sideways pr even dumped despite whole market going for the stars. Now, after I lost money on this shit of a stock it caries whole QQQ, this is insufferable
