Similar but with QQQ. Im sure you could outperform SPY by selling CC...on SPY
QQQ dropped 33% from 2022 to 2023 because of the energy crisis back then. This is the biggest energy crisis ever… could be -50%
Sold everything in my Roth (all tech). Holding CVX calls, XLE commons, QQQ puts. Plan to cut shorter dates puts and reload on every bounce. Taking all profits and dumbing into Amazon LEAPs when this blows over
QQQ is +24% since this post, even including the recent decline.
QQQ is +24% since this post, even including the recent decline. LMAO
As a results of the actions of Donald Trump, the American economy will suffer devastating consequences. An economy that was already fragile and headed towards recession as now had its fate sealed. A recession much greater than and much more catastrophic than the 08 recession is now a 100% guarantee, thanks to Israel, Netanyahu, and Trump. Inflation which was already very high to begin will soar to unprecedented levels rapidly (it already has- notice it cost about 35% more to fill up your car this week?) That being said, I've sold all 15 of my stock positions last week (when Trumped made false claims of a short term war to pump up the market), and bought multiple puts. Will be purchasing substantially more SPY and QQQ puts this week/ selling calls, increase gold & silver exposure and increase BTC holdings. That being said, I highly advise against in going on long on US markets at this time.
upper side of channel sell call credit spreads, lower side sell put credit spreads. I will usually leave QQQ spreads 10+ points OTM, so if the channel is 612-590, I write call spreads that are 625/635 and put spreads that are 580/570 . You can start there and keep selling closer to the money until it reverses. At that time you should be opening the put side as you are closing the call side. I suggest QQQ or SPY and targeting known supply and resistance levels. There are people trading 0DTE spreads. I'm usually trading 14DTE, or 7DTE. theta decay is pretty rapid. Longer DTE spreads don't have as much theta decay, but give you more room to roll. This is income generation from volatility that's all. Its not a long term directional bet. You can do iron condor as well, where you open both sides of the spread at the same time. I do that as well. I will sell any equities I have that are in the green next week. I will hold the losers for now, though I will also aggressively sell CCs on them, so if they continue down I can lower my cost basis as well.
Damn crazy story! Thanks for the response. 2 more questions and that’s it haha. So you were lucky enough you had enough to cover all that and be able to exercise to cover but take me, a 10k account, who just made a credit spread of 20x on QQQ at 600 even if 1 contract gets assigned there’s no way I can cover. Should I just stop doing this? Second question - more of a statement is I heard to trade SPX because it’s cash settled only. Do you agree this is a better route?
damn what’s everyone’s base case for the next 3–6 months on SPY and QQQ right now I’m treating this like late‑cycle startup funding, trimming the crazy bets and letting only the strongest conviction plays keep runway
QQQ and IWM are good alternatives with cheaper premiums. Also look at liquid names like AAPL, AMD and NVDA or sector ETFs like XLF and XLE. But sticking to one ticker (like SPY) can actually help you read price action better.
I'm thinking insert today, snatch the uranium, Delta pinned down and trapped during asia, show lots of burning tankers during euro, and then successful extraction at 730EST and finally end the war at 830EST... QQQ 612 if the timing is right... cmon hollywood, help them get this right for all of us.
SPY QQQ DOW, -5% Monday
were gonna get a “mission accomplished” on Sunday. QQQ is not allowed to stay below 600 because that would make the lizard people angry, and you won’t like the lizard people when the lizard people are ANGRY 🦎 👽
Thing is, while I did some put options on QQQ 2 weeks ago, it has been rather neutral, I do not exactly believe the market is rational enough that out of us, I am the winner. There is always some fuckery going on
there can be 1 million gallons of provably terrible shit...and all it takes is one boastful and naive and premature social media post from that guy and we're up 1.5% on QQQ at the Monday open.
I’m very bearish here. My cat 🐈 says 453 QQQ is coming
Very much doubt that timeline. QQQ and SMH just turned to downtrend while mags and other main indices have already been for a while now. Semis are last leg to go.
I have QQQ puts that expire next Friday. Up 70%
No bitcoin has always been a hedge when you think your currency is going to shit because of war etc. btc has a very high beta with QQQ typically yet didn’t move at all this week because of capital flight
Nice explanation. Can you explain more about getting assigned? Like worst worst case scenario? Say you have no buyers to close and end up getting assigned? Is there a way out if you don’t have the capital? I ran a call spread today with 20 contracts of QQQ luckily it went down and I closed for a profit but say I couldn’t close and am on the hook for 2000 shares of QQQ how would I get out without 1.2 million in capital lol.
10% is about right if you are tech heavy like QQQ which is down 10% from January 29 highs. Man things felt amazing at the end of January. Kind of like last year where February and March were a disaster. Hopefully oil resumes flowing through the straight of Hormuz by next month and we the world gets past this self created geopolitical crisis.
Big account loss appx 0.2% (mostly etfs trade like qqq,slv,voo,gld etc), but smaller roth accounts are 5% to 7.5% gains. I was keeping them in etfs like QQQ/VOO/GLD etc, but Jan 2026 started trading (not comfortable to hold etfs) QQQ/VOO/GLD.
Do nothing should be the mantra every time. It’s too late to get out now and if you did and things continue going south when would you get back in. Lots of people bailed in 2009 at the worst time never to return. I good analogy I heard is to act now would be like the scene from Rocky where he is trying to catch a chicken. Why drive yourself crazy over analyzing oh no what should I do in a down market. Discussions of market timing come up every time there is a market downturn. Of course you can do the opposite of what you are thinking of doing and use new money to buy more VOO or QQQ. Pulling a George Constanza Opposite Day move would be epic and a story to tell Reddit at the end of the year. This too will pass … maybe in a few more weeks or by the end of April or December? Lastly you are 35 not in your 60s.
First rule of trading, recognize the environment you’re in. While generally undercuts have worked while the market was at/near the lows it seems to be the case that QQQ/SPY are starting to finally break down so I’d be cautious when buying anything in this environment. Having said that, if your risk management is good I don’t see why you can’t try it, just make sure you have a cushion into the end of the day due to potential overnight volatility.
The only way you could sort of mimic this exposure without options is SQQQ or shorting a QQQ yourself. That’s not going to really do what puts do, but given the constraints it’s the next best thing.
Is META going to pump based on the %20 layoff news? Wanted to buy some calls today but said I’d wait till QQQ drops further next week 😭
sold a $590 put on QQQ for $750 before close, expiring next Friday…which one of you dirty bears bought it from me
Explain this like I’m 5. I have 22k worth of QQQ puts and vix calls.
Can we just squeeze the shit outta $QQQ to idk $650 by COB Monday 😂😂😂
It seems PSQ is the next best alt to a QQQ put.
Are the 50dma and the 100dma going below the 200dma on QQQ?
I see, but you would think that the difference is very minor so you would just buy QQQ? Is that right (I mean the trouble may not be worth it as opposed to just paying invesco 0.18%)?
7 min before market close I said, “oh shit, it’s Friday!” And proceeded to check that I had SPY and QQQ puts ready. Whew!
No, that's like TQQQ. QQQ is Very minor. Had you held all components(\~101stocks) separately as weighted as rebalanced, etc..., less the ER. You would come out ahead of QQQ/DNX100.
When you say even QQQ has math decay, you mean if I lose 50% then I need 100% to go back? I assume that's about it?
Nasdaq looking at doing this too. If they do I'm selling out of all my SPY / QQQ and related ETFs.
I would go with QQQ or SPY. The first one has higher premiums, but SPY is a bit less volatile. I have done both. Currently, I have the longest expiry QQQs. I start at 80 delta, and when they rise to 90 delta as the stock market goes up, I roll them up in strike back to 80 delta for a credit. If they go down, I will just keep them. Then I sell weekly (roughly 10 days) covered calls against them, typically at 20 delta. I have also done individual stocks like AMZN, META, and NVDA, but I feel QQQ provides better diversity. I also keep a lazy eye on RSI. I don’t sell calls on the very red days, as it typically just backlashes on the following day and covered calls would quickly get ITM. I roll the short calls up in strike bit by bit if they get to 40 or 50 delta. It is easy to do with QQQ as they have daily expirations; for example, I can add one extra day and a $2 higher strike for a small net credit.
QQQ holding that 593 for 5th time since february lol. it bounced back 4 times, will it also bounce back a 5th time? prob flush to 581
Today I bought QQQ 4/17 hedge puts, a lot of 12/18 USO puts, and AMD long calls and shares today. I'm clearly conflicted and belong here.
My QQQ 603c are not printing. Time to resume business as usual and go back to being ghey
Bought 3/27 QQQ puts. And also 3/27 QQQ calls.
QQQ is stored in the scrote.
You made me look at the SPY and QQQ weekly candles. SPY is actually moving down while QQQ is about to lock in its 3rd straight weekly doji which is something I've never seen before on a major index
so funny, QQQ hit 593 on: 5 feb > mooned back to 617 17 feb > mooned to 610 and later to 617 02 march > mooned back to 613 09 march > mooned back to 613 today > moon back to???
QQQ 600 0de calls on cost 5 cents, buy now plunge protection team will pump us up to 600 support level
QQQ under $600. It’s over.
Based on what? QQQ is only down 2% since this war started and private credit started shitting itself
QQQ -6% peak to trough is kinda crazy strong lol. Im about -10% now but this feels so slow motion
I’m 🌈🐻 and got bull trapped by buying QQQ 603c
QQQ bouncing around 591 would be pretty bullish actually
SPY/QQQ about to kiss the 200DMA
True growth stocks like, SCHG and QQQ peaked in late Oct and have been on the decline since. With Q4 of 0.7% and unemployment rising combined with increased costs (oil) recession seems imminent
D.C. is pumping liquidity into the markets, selling Treasuries, shorting oil, probably a bunch of other schemes they have to prop the market up, all hands on deck, i think Fed and Treasury are working together. i think that's why BTC has been pumping and QQQ/SPY being held up with puppet strings. check the Fed's assets/balance sheet (search FRED Assets), steadily ticking up since 2026
Predictions: 1.) Next week there will be a horrendous dump on high volume that will take QQQ below 580 as it becomes clear that the energy crisis will persist and big boys make their move 2.) At this point, the thread will be filled with people calling for the total collapse of the global economy forever and ever, and posting things like “QQQ 400p this thing is going to pre-covid levels” 3.) Over the next 3 weeks, QQQ will continue to dip, finding support in the 560s, before violently dropping to 555. 4.) Mango will pump the markets somehow. Violent Shrek cock rally to 578. 5.) Slow bleed bear market for 1 year starting in September. Mango blames Europe, says this is happening because France is gay.
Small gains still count, building discipline & strategy beats chasing big moves. QQQ could be worth exploring too.
I have a month out calls on QQQ down 30% nothing but 🙏 at this point
Hopefully a little bit more of a flush this afternoon, SPY and QQQ both approaching the 200 DMA. Doesn't mean that's the bottom but def a level I'll deploy some capital after waiting patiently this week
I bought 1 month to exp QQQ puts at 600. Eating clean over here.
I can’t wait until we see our mango in chief crying on live tv begging people to buy. QQQ to 300
Those have pretty high expense. If you want AI exposure your probably better off buying QQQ and maybe SMH
Most Mag7 is trading at a ~market multiple. Imagine not full porting QQQ leaps here 🤡
QQQ is literally basically at an all time high people say it’s crashing lol
META at $618 is tempting. Problem is that it’s not even that red of a day. Might have to wait for QQQ 585.
Orrrr buy puts on QQQ expiring Monday
Get absolutely fucking owned tech bulls. Anyone putting money into this circle jerk of useless FRAUD deserves to lose every dollar they have. Short QQQ below $100 so that these clueless CEO’s finally get fired.
QQQ down 10 dollars in 2hours on no news. Smh

How tf is SCHG down 7% YTD. Thought this was suppose to follow VOO/QQQ
Just send QQQ to sub 550 already and be done with it. We can rocket next month.
USO going up, VIX going up, DXY over 100, QQQ will close at 590 after the intraday fuckary
Being horny is one of the weirdest aspects of being alive, when youre not the entire act just seems filthy and disgusting with what some people do that you want to puke, and then when it hits youre hoping you get to lick her armpits and she didnt shower like Napoleon, QQQ is going to drill after it touches VWAP thank you for your time
QQQ just got destroyed trying to cross the strait of Hurmuz
Huh /ES is at 6700 and QQQ is at 600
PSA: pay close attention to USD/DXY today and be careful with this SPY/QQQ action. overnight, DXY blew past resistance around 99.725, right past another resistance at 100.15 to 100.3, before turning back down where we're at this morning in the middle of the range. it feels like SPY/QQQ, metals, and international stocks are playing chicken with the USD/DXY going back down below yesterday's resistance at 99.725, but who tf thinks that's going to happen??? i think DXY wants to test 100.3 again at the very least, but there's a long term resistance at 100.4 it really wants to touch that is a Trump 2.0 high. until it touches that, i'm not buying metals or QQQ. i could be wrong, but a huge trap door is the risk on the downside
SPY up QQQ up crypto up gold up HOOD down lol how tf is that possible
Recession? Inflation? BULLISH. Imma go overpay for some QQQ calls and get bootfucked.
Look at VOO and QQQ long term chart and what do you see? We aren't far from ATH. If you aren't beating the markets (and let's be honest here, the majority don't), then join them. Anyone just sitting on VOO and/or QQQ for 3/5/10/15/20/25/30 years is not even breaking sweat.
Until the day I die, I’ll never forget the day after NVDA earnings last year when QQQ went from +2% to -2.5% intraday.
LMAO bers really thought QQQ would sit below 600 for more than two business hours
Tech stocks are down just a few percent from their peak. Hardly a crash. As for real estate being overpriced, compare QQQ vs VNQ over the last 10 years and see if you might reconsider.
Lmao, I’m saying own both and I’m saying lean into QQQ more. The other fund is new and has only been around for 2 years. Too early to blame victory chump. But if you were smart you would look at the yearly returns and see that the year QQQ gained 20% COWG gained 40% Meaning congratulations you have two tech funds they don’t track in the same direction so it’s true diversification. So yes, what you just told me tells me you are quite dumb. Enjoy investing majority of your money in 7 AI companies. I’m sure it will work out just fine and AI will be the success promised to us.
ain't no way QQQ is less than 600 for a few hours
So my 1DTE QQQ 605 Calls i bought yesterday have actually a chance, according to pre-market? My puts are going to print really hard lmao
QQQ back above 600 shortly lmao
Short QQQ. Long USO. 50% of us is 100% retarded.
Short USO. Long QQQ. You might think I am retarded, but I think I am also retarded.
Also, to address your comment specifically on what to trade, I chart on ES/NQ and take the options trade on SPY, QQQ. SPX is expensive but you can find good deals after the lunch sesh. Other daytrades/leaps, I look for stocks I like or use. Kinda funny but I feel like I take money back from spending with them. Like, if my wife shops at target, I'll see if there's good opportunities on TGT. I know it's dumb but I try not to complicate it. If it's not there, it's not there.
