QQQ

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.

I just bought QQQ puts, we are going to giga pump now ( your welcome bulls)

MutaliskGluon

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

In. Way more exciting than keeping my money in QQQ.

QQQ edging itself and me right now

I sold some CCs on my position again. Also bought some QQQ puts when we were 0.75% green as this is a resistance area on the 15m and 1h and 1d

jazzyjjcups

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.

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.

over half of my positions expire this fine week: (all are short positions, naked as they should be born). if we don't do 5% either way, thank you for your donation - whover bought this useless shit from me positions (puts were started when we were in deep panic, calls when it looked like we have some euphoria back when QQQ was 600) NVDA - 18 puts strike 150 AVGO - 10 puts strike 280-285 MU - 10 puts strike 290 NBIS - 40 calls strike 150 NVDA - 10 calls strike 195

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?

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.

Looking forward to QQQ group action lawsuit when space x dumps. For breaking the rule. Investors didn’t expect this

VGT or VUG or XLK are good approximations of QQQ.

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

What’s an easy investment QQQ?

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

Crypto diverged from soc a few weeks back and has been going sideways while spy and QQQ have gone down

Vast_Cricket

S&P- 85% momentum return consists of 7 tech companies. Rest 501-7 companies weights only 15%. Since 21st century there has been 5 corrections. Some lasted 3 years with S&P index loss of -41%. Last one was during Trump 1.0. It caused almost -10% fall during his first few months. After DJT announced a total victory yesterday hitting a civilian bridge because he could not destroy military commanding center, Iran attacked US high tech centers in middle east fired 200 missiles back how you think US tech stocks will fare later this year? In terms of YTD return QQQ returned -4.8%, S&P fared -3.4%, Dow Jones 30 avg lose -3.2%. If you look at other less sensitive to war, oil price public companies the story is not much different. I can see a cheering of economy and stock market if Iran surrendered signed a treaty. I have been anticipating this since mid last year. Most AI stock sold gain went to munibonds that are relatively safe while not paying gain taxes. Precious metals, defense companies, domestic oil refineries is what I added several months ago. One needs to take a position early before evens occur. When DJT talked about Venezuela I sensed he is heading to middle east.

Axe_Raider

Nasdaq has. if you were holding QQQ for a decade, declare victory on your massive gains, and sell it.

Saltlife_Junkie

Not this time. Oil will go fucking crazy Sunday night. May see attacks all weekend. It’s going to open red. I bought puts Friday against INTC. I want SPY and QQQ as well. I should have bought them Friday but that BS pump scared me. 0DTE is the answer.

Technical_Scallion_2

It was me, I had 100 QQQ puts that went to from +300% to zero. I caused it.

TotalInstruction

Just like stocks, you need to diversify and limit your exposure. Choose different time frames, different delta strikes, different underlying securities with low correlation (e.g. SPX and QQQ are highly correlated, but SPX and WMT less so), and try to balance your deltas closer to zero. You can still make money on most of your trades if the market stays relatively calm and you watch closely and mitigate risk by employing profit-taking and stop loss limits. Even if you have a huge up or down day that busts some of your positions, others won’t suffer nearly so badly or may even counterbalance the losses. But yeah, if you just load up on spy credit spreads in one direction with one expiry date with more than 30% exposure at one time, you will eventually have a run of spikes or crashes that will blow up your account.

Was that Bull Flag looking one day chart on SPY and QQQ just a fake out and opportunity to load puts? This market has me confused. 😵‍💫

cedrus_libani

Yeah, but a new IPO that's bouncing around and trying to find its level isn't the market. Love 'em or hate 'em, the big dogs at the top of QQQ are exactly where the market thinks they ought to be. You can buy the lot, and the only risk is the market moving against you. If you play the IPO, you're also exposed to the price discovery process, which may or may not end well for you.

Despite this chaos calls will print monday some negotiation talk truth social will do Logic doesnt work in this market we saw yesterday -1.5% QQQ overnight to finishing green who tf?

BobtheChemist

That's one reason I like to create my own mix of stocks and avoid certain "passive" index fund etfs. Much easier to avoid stocks I don't like, as well as not have 40% of my retirement income based on 7 stocks. You can buy \~40 stocks and etfs and have a very diverse portfolio as well as be better balanced and have flexibility to buy low and sell high with some individual stocks. I'll not buy QQQ again.

emblemboy

I have about 1100 shares of FLY stock that I got through stock options at my old company. Post IPO lockout ended in February and I've held so far. I'm currently thinking of taking a little bit of risk with this. My stock basis is like $0.60 a share. The total amount cost me $670 to get. Currently they are worth around 35k since FLY is currently at $33 a share. The talks of a space x IPO seems to be inflating lots of space stocks. My current plan is to sell 10% or so and re-invest I to SPY/QQQ, whatever. For maybe half of the remaining I'm really considering doing covered calls as a way to get some credit. And then just holding the rest. Or am I just overthinking all this and I should just sell all of it an reinvest into an index fund.

Why not just sell puts on the SPY or QQQ at whatever you think the bottom will be.

Dstein99

SpaceX is an exception because the Nasdaq 100 is a large cap etf, investors buy the Nasdaq 100 because the fund’s objective is to track the 100 largest companies listed on the Nasdaq. Based on that objective they would rather own a $2T company than a $10B company. This is the first time an exception has been made because we have never had a $2T IPO before and a $2T company has a lot more influence to move the market than a $20B company. I say if you don’t like it sell because this exactly aligns with the Nasdaq 100’s objectives, to track the 100 largest companies listed on the Nasdaq. No one owns QQQ because they need to be in on Zscaler’s innovation because they barely made the cut as one of the 100 largest companies on the Nasdaq.

BobWileey

Sell CCs on QQQ?

Dstein99

They can choose whatever rules they want as long as they disclose the rules to the investors. They certainly don’t need to ask investors for permission. If you don’t like the funds holdings then don’t own the fund. If you want a quality screen build your own ETF. If the management is a load of crap don’t pay the management fee. No one is forcing you to hold QQQ, I don’t see the issue.

himanbansal

All the logic points to it probably going to pump after being fast tracked to the index.  Millions of normal people of the type to find Will Smith slapping Chris Rock to be the most important news are just going to casually keep pumping their 401k into it without even thinking. That being said I'm not buying the SpaceX IPO and don't have much QQQ.

My opinion trade TQQQ with shares. Buy options with QQQ. When did you buy them and at what expiration and strike? They most likely went down due to theta decay.

whydouhatemecablegod

at this time, i would like to bring your attention to the $493 gap on QQQ

misterbluesky8

I’m a proud thetagang member, and it’s because premiums are so high. For example, if I’m selling cash-secured puts, I try to sell the slightly out of the money. Now that premiums are higher, I can go significantly farther OTM and insulate myself against bigger moves. Of course, with CSPs, I only need to worry about big moves to the downside- if the stock goes up, I just cash out sooner. I own 100 shares of QQQ, and I’m getting over $100 in premium for 2 DTE covered calls that are about 2% OTM. I definitely wasn’t able to do that before the war. 

squish_squashington

QQQ low today was 571.66, I can’t see prices anymore but they must have been at least $4, probably more. I think this position must have cleared 10 mil. $400x25k contracts?

CoachDennisGreen

I read all of that and have no clue so I guess I’m glad I sold my QQQ in my taxable account in February and will have to file quarterly taxes for the first time ever but no longer hold QQQ.

Why do elons companies get 300-400 p/e by default? Never touching QQQ shares because of this and MSTR and Tesla.

ExplosiveDlarrhea69

Seems like you'd be better off with just SPX or QQQ. When the yield is good it's probably like 12% and when it's bad it's probably negative.

AgnosticAbe

Ok here’s another question. I bought 20 shares of QQQ at 575 on margin. Is it ok to deposit 2k a month until it’s “paid off” or is that uncommon and I should just sell it at a short term profit? I wanted to hold it long term… but is that stupid on margin?

The-zKR0N0S
