Either it is a violent V-shaped recovery in ext 2 months, or we are going back to 0% return for Nasdaq index this year. QQQ $600 or $800.
20 years. This may make you feel better if you run this experiment. FInd any stock performance calculator and put in your purchase date for VOO. Then select for your 'time interval' to review performance at a week. Then a month. Then 6 months, a year, 5 years, 10, then 20. You'll see that as the interval grows the dip we've just experienced is almost invisible. Now this is absolutely no guarantee of future results, but IMO what other measure is any better? I'm writing this as someone who first bought QQQ in back in '99, so I know exactly how you feel. But I liked the focus, so stayed the course. That was a lot of dollars ago. I don't sweat it anymore.
Guys, wall street is clear that only bear market for next 2 months. SMH back to $400, QQQ back to $600.
Your port is essentially an ETF made of random niche tickers no one has ever heard of and a few wallstreetbets specials. Honestly just get an index fund (VOO/SPY/QQQ) and leave it alone. You can keep yourself a little cash for risk to play with
Buy VOO or QQQ or SPY and sell all the other shit. 80% s&p500. 20% something a lil riskier
Not necessarily. If you’re a bit older and have a high paying career and let’s say were able to invest 50k in QQQ and added $1000/mo into it since then… you’d have about OPs net worth without even yoloing into options. The bull run in the last few years has been absolutely craziness compared to other periods in history. Since 2008 QQQ would have given you \~18% annualized return.

look at $QQQ 6 month chart it's basically flat, moving up and down but not picking a direction. Now look back at like Jan and Feb of 2021 or any other parabolic moves and tell me what was more fun
You mean the 10% retrace on QQQ in the last month? That super boring market?

Been checking QQQ way too much this week lol. I built a little app called StockPing that just pings me when something actually moves enough to care about. Been using -2% / -3% alerts and honestly it's much better than opening my broker every 10 mins 😂 Full disclosure, I made it: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6817288336
What a week—the Fed’s FOMC, major earnings, tax-loss selling & oil prices, Vix Most of the institutions & big funds did tax-loss selling,closed the book by October end Ready for $NVDA earnings spike $MU reported $52 Billion revenue Next $SPX $NDX $QQQ $XLK $XLC seasonal spike
Go check the 52 week low on QQQ and get back to me. 🤣
I think we're pumping pre market, maybe even +1% QQQ, but market open is a 50/50. Gonna take some money off the table if we pump in pre market, if we dump pre market, ima let my shit go to 0 fuck it.
I should have bought puts on Spy or QQQ yesterday morn and let em ride. That big dip and pullback to a green recovery a week or so back had me cautious as I couldnt sit and watch yesterday. I wish Id bought 100 , $80 puts on Intel. They ridiculously cheap. I saw some made big bank on that slam dunk
QQQ will never see $700 again
Bought 20k QQQ at 715 witj some 700 puts few days back, friday bought 30k worth of QQQ @685 with a couple 680 puts as some insurance. Will just continue to repeat until I build a good position
Imagine thinking QQQ went down because of oil or middle east. Earnings across the board was shit. OpenAI is losing money. Anthropic has junk bond rating. You can cope all you want but the peace talks won't save your calls
Ceasefire reached, QQQ +4% on Monday 🥳
Legit. QQQ was $562 in March and closed yesterday at $690. I think we're ok 👌 Also, ask Burry how his positions in JD.com and Alibaba are doing...
If I’ve learned anything from 🥭 market, Monday will be a +2.5% on QQQ based on the news headline: **AXIOS: “PEOPLE IN PLACES NEAR OTHER PLACES, WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS, ARE HAVING THOUGHTS OF CONCEPTS OF TALKS ABOUT THINGS!!!”**
Selling to skim profits as part of your strategy is one thing, selling because you have a weird feeling is a whole other matter. Buying SQQQ because of that weird feeling is on a different realm. There is a good chance that if you sold and bought SQQQ because of your emotions, and then the market goes up, that you would get another instinct telling you to sell and buy QQQ. At which point you just lost a bunch of money
My port reacts X2 to QQQ performance, so It was a -7% day
retail (regards) will always buy. Just look at spacex. They can get added to the QQQ too
I only trade SPX 0DTE or 1DTE, depending on when I enter a trade. This is all I trade, however I do watch others like NQ SPY QQQ for confluence. I have been doing so for the last 8 years but my first 2 were break even years, I had small profits then it kept building up. Had my first few months of no losses, then a month of second guessing myself after a break with multiple. Got back on track and would have 1 or 2 small losses a month. I have 2 jobs and trade open and the close. Most of the time during close im at work. I want to retire by 45 which is in 6 years. How long it takes to go full time depends how much time you put in. I got a few friends into it now and we trade together sometimes or share ideas in a group chat. Learn the basics, learn charting, levels. Dont need too much noise,the easier the better
I made 30% off NVDA lottos today, wasting like 90% of the trading day stuck in it. I should've just done QQQ ugh. Then EOD I switched to calls and made 100%. But I still feel like I missed out on a lot. :wendys:
280? Are you counting things that don't count like Nasdaq or QQQ?
It’s going to chop sideways for a little bit before the rally. Needed to wait for the dip of the dip (not a meme). But this is the right play, wrong time. I personally will enter QQQ calls when SPY hits 740ish. You might be able to sell a bounce, then buy back in for the final dip. Anyways, these are just levels I have marked on my charts. Best of luck.
Yeah I'm invested in the S&P500 instead of tech-heavy indices, because I think this revolution of cheaper software is going to mostly help companies that sell normal stuff but need apps to help do it. QQQ might have a hard crash, but I expect the S&P500 to have an acceptable correction as part of a 20 year steady rise ahead.
My guy found a random one day occurrence of literal *fractional* moves in XLK (half of its average moves) and thinks he discovered fire. What you found is exactly what I said - the market treading water when tech was (barely) down, and ignored the part where I said **significant tech declines will always drop the S&P.** The average daily move in XLK is +/- 1.32%. Even if I give you the **average** move, not even a significant move, there are literally only 5 examples in the last year of XLK making at least it's average move down and SPX being green, and in those 5 days SPX averages a whopping 0.13% up. The market will not move without tech. End of story. Look at QQQ and SPX. It's the same chart with more amplitude. You can't possibly be so dense as to think the Nasdaq can keep selling off and the SPX will actually go *up.*
I'm feeling dangerously delusional and bought 20k worth of QQQ 800 eoy CALLS. Feel free to roast or pray for me.
Those are rooky numbers, QQQ needs to pump that shit up.
QQQ is shitting in pants
How are we going to have QQQ in a correction and SPY is still floating like a turd
You want a statistic, here's one. For every percentage point the QQQ drops, 40,000 degens die. You over here laughing at my post, you think this funny, this is real life problems. 😡😤
What do you mean that you saw QQQ at -4.17% at some point today and you didn’t sell your puts to yolo for the imminent squeeze rally calls? Bears don’t learn
Will QQQ stay below 700 or will we see a bounce back?
There's another ticker like that, it's called QQQ
Lost 20% today but 30DTE plenty of time for a QQQ rebound
At the end of the day, QQQ has just been going mostly sideways since May.
QQQ is officially in the correction territory
Very not happy cutting AVGO QQQ puts yesterday at bell.
I should’ve mirrored fucking VALKYRIE\_SKULD’s plays today and if have been up bigly! But instead I chose to buy calls on QQQ before close. Fuck me. 💯🫡🤨

Oh you thought it was gonna be 30-40% year for QQQ lol
Looks like you open the app and buy whatever the “top movers” are and then forget to monitor it. If your that type of investor literally buy QQQ and be happy opening the app then making 10-15% a year
Both...sold off some GOOG, VEU and VOO...bought some TSM, MU, EWY and NVDA...as well as QQQ. Just risking up while things are a little lower. Regret selling Google ...maybe buy a tiny amount to scratch the itch.
Guilty as charged ...interesting never thought of that. Same thing happened last week I swear. Leads me to think QQQ will have a couple up days and then maybe continue downward mid week
2 of the top 5 trades on QQQ hit at the end of today
\-10% in a month from QQQ, yeah
I mean if they have plans to keep increasing the capex, it may not end for a while. I guess they can immediately call back those plans but I don’t think we’ve seen that yet. A 1-2% drop on SPX and we’re talking about a popped bubble, it would definitely be a lot larger than this. I guess QQQ is down 7% in a month - but still up 10% over a year, same as SPX. I can’t say exactly would cause a clear “pop” but probably just continued and repeated lack of return from all this capex. So it may take a long time and years of drawdowns? I’m just speculating though. I’m not personally the most optimistic about “AGI” or “super intelligence” even happening, but a toooon of random people constantly warn and fear monger about it, so I dunno.
Welcome to trading options… I had QQQ puts sold right after it stated to drop for small profit after being down yesterday on them I was happy for a minute, lol then the 10 I had would have made me over 10k more if I held to end of day instead I made 2k at least I didn’t lose but would have made way more. Mean while my temp and crwd calls got beat up so it wasn’t a winning day lol
SPY is down to where it was last month. QQQ is down a little more but still up over 12% YTD.
Okay I will leave you guys with my predictions for end of next week. AAPL $310. QQQ $765. BTC $70k. Goodnight I will see you guys later. Get some rest and go touch grass.
Yeah I had some greasy wins with aapl puts and QQQ puts this week. Just got wrecked pretty hard by the monday and tuesday pumps where I was too negatively exposed
Weekly regime check 📊 my score held at +4 for the second week in a row, so strong bull is now official on my sheet 🐂 What's holding up: 10yr eased to 4.92% and VIX closed at 19.42, just under 20 📉 VIX is the shaky one though, it spiked to 23.9 intraday Friday. One more pop above 20 and we're back to +3 What's still holding it back: Brent over $110 🛢️ and HYG under its 200 day Price is fighting the score again 😤 SPY dumped 1.8% Friday to 755.78, below the 50 day, but the 750.4 low held the September low and it bounced into the bell. Tech did the damage (QQQ -3.7%) while equal weight and credit barely moved. Reclaim 757-763 and price agrees with the score again 🚀 My levels: 776-782 is where I sell rips 🔴 766-774 is first resistance 757-763 is the reclaim line 🟢 748-752 is my dip buy zone, just retested Friday 🟢 735-742 is where I load up 💎🙌 721-730 is where I admit I'm wrong 🏳️ Big stretch coming: election Tue Nov 3, jobs report Fri Nov 6, CPI Tue Nov 10 ⚠️ no new swings for me after Monday morning the 9th. Not financial advice, I eat crayons 🖍️
QQQ please gimme a nice -3.9% Monday
Apple Monday, then AMD Tuesday, Arm Wednesday QQQ might drill to zero by EOW
Will my QQQ calls expiring Monday be okay yes or no? 💯🫡🤨
90% certain we still have a date with the QQQ 200 DMA around 680 before we truly have a chance to bottom. Almost got there today.
The QQQ has had six 20% drawdowns since inception (1999). That is one 20% drawdown every 4.5 years. The market just ran hot for the last 4 years. The market also likes to pull towards the 200 weekly SMA on major drawdowns. We are potentially staring down the barrel of the early innings of a drawdown to \~$500 on the QQQ.
Just realized we hit correction territory -10% off ATH for $QQQ..
QQQ finishing the month -6.66% What does this mean
If you look at the charts closely on QQQ, it makes a perfect pumpkin head with a 🖕🏽for eyes. Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃
Sir QQQ is only down 10%. Got -10% to go until bear market 🐻
Bro in the same boat here. Feel like sh\*t after seeing what could’ve been with all my QQQ puts. Some more patience and I would’ve been on the other side instead of being down under. I’ve had worse days in the past, but this is one of those where it sucked to see it happen when it seemed so obvious.
So what the first stock are we buying on Monday? NOW, QQQ, SPY,INTC???
Not supposed to be literally, regard. lol. It was one of the worst 1 days points drops on QQQ in history today.
No, QQQ one of the worst 1 day points drop in history today. Learn nuance.
These QQQ puts would print today
Sounds like a bad fill or something strange. Possibly high IV. QQQ puts as a proxy would've paid extremely well.
GOOG had the worst day in its history yesterday. INTC had its worst day since the 70s. Might've not been the worst day for QQQ but could get a lot worse still.
So QQQ 800 End of year right?
Look at July massacre. QQQ then got pushed to new ATH. Then brought right back into correction territory. A lot of these news are not new. They already came up over and over when market was rallying, but market kept ignoring them, until they pull the rug all at once.
That 2nd top 1100 put was at $470 but it went back down and I sold late. I also have a 704 QQQ call for next Friday. It closed +$74 expecting next week to rally back up.
Bought 40k of QQQ at 685 and 2 680 short dated puts as a hedge
The long beta has different assets such as commodities that are in backwardation and in trend right now (oil and sugar). Equities with low carries, example Swiss market futures and S&P 400 midcaps. I also buy assets with a discount to NAV. Relative value is looking at two assets and trading the options against each other. For example buying puts on QQQ vs selling puts on SPY. To do so I need to look at the historical volatilies of the assets and various other things. Usually they are not an exact match. So its like I'm selling hotdogs and buying hamburgers.
No you're just retarded. Learn when markets close. Options on SPY and QQQ trade until 4:15 PM otherwise most options close at 4 PM and stocks can be traded in extended hours.
Me and my mem and GOOG bros welcoming our crypto and QQQ bros to warm their hands around our dumpster fire
This market isnt real How did QQQ close down exactly 6.66%
Was gonna buy $QQQ after bell... option prices just kept swinging 0.10-0.20 per second. Literally insane
QQQ down 6.66% on the month
I know everyone here is gamblers, but if you thought today was a crash your port is cooked. Today wasn't even the worst day for the QQQ in the last year. What are you going to do when it drops >10% in a day?
Hey - it wasn't so bad. As long as you don't own QQQ, INTC, SNDK, or RDDT. Or Gold. Or bullish options.
QQQ back to levels seen 2 hours ago 🥰
QQQ 680 shelf held!!!
Calls on QQQ. but puts on AAPL am i dumb
Dunk on all this money I’m making is it? I’ve had QQQ 10/30 750p since the start of the month. I made bank the past few weeks, ask around :rich: :rich: and now we’ll V right up your asshole chud :kek: :kek:
Can't believe that last tick on QQQ stopped me out. Cost me over $5000. I'm the most unlucky fuck on Earth.
