# QQQ is going to 500 by December. Save this post so you can thank me for making your first million LMAO
QQQ moves harder since right now money just moves around within SPY holdings and it stays flat lol.
Ffs QQQ go back to 720 tomo
The S&P 500 includes utility companies, regional banks, and brick-and-mortar retail. Comparing a mega-cap tech giant to a basket of slow-growth and industrial stocks to prove executive genius is nonsensical. If you buy tech, your benchmark is the tech sector (QQQ/XLK). Virtually every major tech stock crushed the S&P over that window. That's macro sector expansion, not individual CEO magic.

QQQ and Coreweave puts gonna print all week…
I know a lot of people here trade SPY/SPX and QQQ/NDX options heavily, but I’ve accepted I’m simply not good at predicting index price action and might as well throw money away or bet on black instead 🤷🏻♀️ So I usually stick to individual stock options (most big names have 0DTE too, which helps) and I’ve had much more success with those 🙏🏻🚀
QQQ changing its name to QQ
Fed hikes .50 and this time instead of QQQ going up 10% it’s going up 20%
I sell 1-dte expiry put options, as well as longer term put options, and my strategy is different for both. For 1-dte options: SPY or QQQ. I'm not even sure there are any other options for 1 dte options. I favor SPY, because I'm most comfortable betting on the behavior of SPY. But sometimes QQQ pays meaningfully more than SPY, so I'll do QQQ instead or 50/50. For strike price, I aim to make $1,000 per day that I trade, looking generally in the range of $500 to $1,500. It's just a judgment call based on what strike prices are currently selling for, in light of the recent behavior of the market. Usually anywhere from $2 to $10 below the current trading price. Sometimes I decide the market is just too optimistic and I will skip that day entirely. For longer term options: SPY and TQQQ are my two that I sell put options for every quarterly future date. SPY I do staggered strike prices between 20% and 30% below the all time high price of the stock. TQQQ, more like 50% to 60% below the all time high. Then I have a few randoms thrown in, like SOXL, NVDA, MU, one GOOGL. The randoms are usually sold on days where I'm not selling a 1 dte put for whatever reason (either because the market is too optimistic, or because the market is down and I've been assigned).
Back in the 2000's - most people invested via regular deductions in their 401k. At least - anecdotally - that's how people that I knew did it. While I did actively trade - it wasn't common because of the costs - and afaik - many retail investors who investing outside their 401k were likely to use mutual funds. By early 2000's - retail investors started to be more active because of the dotcom boom and also because of decimalization. Also - trade commissions fell following the dotcom bust from around $30 to $20. Also - while the S&P 500 was starting to be a major index and over take the Dow in the 2000's. The VIX was primarily measured using the OEX until 2003 so in the media. And in the early 2000's - total market indices like the Wilshire was quotes along with AMEX and NYSE composite. And current popular ETF like SPY and QQQ used to trade on the AMEX iirc. ETF's like VOO didn't launch until 2010.

#I went to a restaurant, they asked for a tip and I told them to buy QQQ puts. They'll thank me later. LMAO🤌🍁
QQQ 10% correction would be around 683 or 686 if you count intraday peak. Needs to bounce off that hard or this may get real nasty
That is why its QQQ for show SPY for pro's
Big week for QQQ, needs to hold 700, and cannot break the 680 shelf or we are really in trouble
I'm a neocloud bear and my portfolio is at an ATH. I think the risk of pulling that TQQQ stat out is that people extrapolate the rise of QQQ to a bet on the success of individual risky companies that are just as likely to go bankrupt.
QQQ back to 720 tomorrow
This week is very important for QQQ, 680 shelf is very important to not break through
I'd focus more on getting a well paying job first. Then just buy a book on Economics made simple or something like that. Then just put your money in SPY or QQQ. Now just read books about personal finance and automatically invest a bit each month until you can answer these kinds of questions yourself.
QQQ 1000C calls for leaps then AI bubble can pop nobody cares
If someone could chime in with Public, that would be great. If you trade SPY/QQQ you would get rebates for each contract. Index options don’t qualify for rebates, no PFOF payment.
Brother I want -50% on QQQ and I am not joking.
I need -5% on QQQ monday or else i lose 6 months of rent
On QQQ we went from 750 to 700?
If I only have hold everything I bought and added since liberation day, like I do with my Index. I would have had significant amounts of more profit on single stocks. I can name a few, NVDA, PLTR, AMD, MSFT, META.. even if the QQQ correct with around 33% I would be flat accounting inflation numbers.
I hope QQQ is ready for takeoff... Bought quite a lot of TQQQ at the 702 level on QQQ. In the green but only by a bit
I think I need to get out soon and just go QQQ + IWM and then forget about it
A wash sale isn't a benefit to seek out; it disallows your loss for this tax year. The point of tax-loss harvesting is to actually use the tax deduction now. Swapping QQQ to another tech/index ETF (like XLK) lets you keep market exposure while legitimately claiming the loss.

I am assuming this was taxable account so no Roth or401K There its no way to avoid the tax hit from this accident Reinvesting that 450K is probably your reinvest it in QQQ might be the best solution. However it could put it in EMO a dividned ETF with a 8% yield. That would generate 36K a year for many years, or zUTF 7% yeild and get 31K These genrate qualified dividends and are taxed at a lower rate than work income. OrQQQI 14% yeild ask get 5K a month of income that will be tax free for about 7 years.On the 8th years it becomes qualified dividends You could use this you can use the money to cover your basic living expenses like your mortgage or any other living expenses, or you could reinvest the dividned income in QQQ.
Crypto dump get ready for another -3% on QQQ
So yesterday memory was holding QQQ up.. if it goes red, QQQ has nothing to fall back on.
Dumb post for dumb response. Here is what gemini says to do: Take a deep breath—**do not beat yourself up.** This is a stressful mistake, but fat-finger errors happen to investors all the time, and you are dealing with an incredibly high-class problem by having $500,000 in liquid cash to deploy. Step 1: Double-Check the Settlement Window (Immediate Action) If you *just* made this trade today or very recently, check your transaction history or call Fidelity back immediately. Even though they cannot "undo" the sale itself, **Fidelity allows you to manually reassign tax lots online up until 9:00 PM ET on the settlement date** (which is usually T+1, one business day after the trade). If you have multiple lots of QQQ, you can manually select the lots with the highest cost basis (or even lots that are currently in a loss) to minimize the capital gains tax hit. \[[1](https://www.fidelity.com/trading/faqs-placing-orders), [2](https://www.fidelity.com/webcontent/ap002390-mlo-content/19.09/help/learn_orders.shtml), [3](https://carry.com/learn/settled-vs-unsettled-funds)\] * **How to do it yourself:** Log into [Fidelity.com](http://Fidelity.com) → Go to **Accounts & Trade** → **Account History** → Find the QQQ sale → Look for a link that says **"Reassign Lots"**. \[[1](https://www.fidelity.com/webcontent/ap002390-mlo-content/19.09/help/learn_orders.shtml)\] * *Note:* If the trade has completely settled past the deadline, then the tax lot choice is locked in. Step 2: Strategic Playbook for your $500k Assuming the $500k sale is locked in and sitting in cash, you now have a massive, forced asset-allocation decision. Here is the mathematical hierarchy of where that money should go: |**Option**|**Financial Return**|**Risk Level**|**The Catch**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |**1. Invest back into QQQ**|High (Historical \~10-13%)|High (Market volatility)|Buying back inside 30 days triggers **Wash Sale** rules if sold at a loss.| |**2. Pay off 5.5% Investment Condo**|**Guaranteed 5.5%**|**Zero Risk**|You lose liquidity, and you may lose some mortgage interest tax deductions.| |**3. Pay off 2.65% Primary Residence**|Guaranteed 2.65%|Zero Risk|Mathematically inefficient; inflation eats this debt for you.| My Primary Recommendation **My top recommendation is a split strategy: Use a portion of the cash to completely eliminate the 5.5% debt on the investment condo, and immediately DCA (Dollar-Cost Average) or lump-sum the remaining cash back into the market.** Here is the step-by-step logic of why this turns your mistake into a major financial win: Phase 1: Crush the 5.5% Condo Debt * **The Math:** Paying off a 5.5% mortgage is the exact same as finding a completely risk-free, tax-free investment that guarantees a 5.5% return. * **The Benefit:** It immediately removes a monthly debt obligation, drastically increases your monthly cash flow from the investment property, and de-risks your real estate portfolio. Phase 2: Do NOT Touch the 2.65% Resident Mortgage * **The Math:** A 2.65% 30-year fixed mortgage is essentially free money. Current low-risk money market funds or Treasury bills yield well above this. * **The Action:** Keep this loan alive for as long as humanly possible. Paying this off early is a poor use of liquidity. Phase 3: Get the Rest Back to Work (Mind the Wash Sale Rule) If you want your tech exposure back, you need to buy back into the market. However, you must look at whether you sold QQQ for a **gain** or a **loss**: * **If you sold at a GAIN:** You will owe capital gains tax next April. You can buy QQQ back immediately. Set aside 15–20% of the profits in a high-yield cash account so you aren't short on cash come tax season. \[[1](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1rjgwsz/accidently_sold_all_of_my_shares_of_stock/)\] * **If you sold at a LOSS:** If any of the lots you sold resulted in a capital loss, buying QQQ back within 30 days triggers a **Wash Sale**. This means you cannot deduct those losses on your taxes this year. * *The Workaround:* Instead of QQQ, buy **VLGX (Vanguard Growth)** or **SCHG (Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth)**. They track highly similar mega-cap tech performance but avoid the wash sale rule because they track different underlying indexes. Summary Action Plan 1. Log into Fidelity right now to see if the **"Reassign Lots"** button is still active to optimize your tax bill. 2. Carve out whatever amount is owed to clear or significantly pay down the **5.5% condo mortgage**. 3. Set aside an estimate for the **capital gains tax** you just triggered. 4. Put the remaining balance right back into **QQQ** (or an equivalent growth ETF like **SCHG** to avoid wash sales) to get your long-term compounding machine back on track.
200dma is still way lower on QQQ
1- 2 months ago, the weekend thread was.. "GET FUK BEARS". We are going ATH, SPY 800, QQQ - 800.
july 2026? nov 2025 through Jan 2026....That's just in the past 12 months....this is our what? 3rd fairly impressive drawdown on the QQQ's? since Nov 2025?
I watched the new edgerunners s2, felt it was a lot less memorable and good than season 1. Puts on everything. GLD 357 QQQ 680 SPY 750 fuck ur stock market
Next week really might dictate how low shit will go. Too many important earnings + macro stuff. God willing simple QQQ 680 puts will print
Next week is make or break for my year’s PnL: AMKR earnings Monday AC SKHY earnings Tuesday AC QQQ expected bottom 685-690 before/on Wednesday

***Shoutout to WSB for letting me save on tax dollars with SPX options - about 600k of gains is from SPY*** This doesn’t make any sense, did you make money from SPX or SPY? You do know the difference? Nevertheless, congratulations OP! You have achieved something everyone else can only dream of. I hope you can see how incredibly risky this has been, and be humble enough to acknowledge the crazy luck you had. Please make it real by buying a house, a car, and leave enough in treasury bills to pay tax. If you truly only traded SPX and NDX options (no SPY or QQQ!) your tax bill should be around a quarter million? Else much more (no tax advise)
He's up $57K factoring in the losses. He'd be up more than that if he just invested everything into QQQ and didn't touch anything. Assuming just the original $200K in October 2023 he'd have $395K right now.

Damn man shouldve informed yourself better…like YOLO in 3 small caps With no stop loss… You have 2 choices here: \-hold and hope economy gets better and these companies deliver and innovate several years Down the line. You need a 100% gain in these stocks just to breakeven \-liquidate everything and making better on adecuate size with stop losses, basically risk management…you could play it safe and just get SPYor QQQ
a variety of things, i recommend VOO in april (that's usually when it performs really poorly, good time to buy). i do "short-term" (on a 3-6 week basis) trades with QQQ because it's more volatile. and sometimes i'll buy silly little stocks like starbucks if it's a good time to purchase. (but i mostly do etfs tbh)
QQQ would be a $760 stock one day
Something I noticed, plain positive GEX passes on QQQ but not on SPY (p = 0.21), and your QQQ 0DTE 0.25 delta strangle goes from +0.35 to +1.38 with the filter. My guess is the positive GEX days are mostly the low vol days anyway. Could you take the same count of days by lowest ATM IV at the prior close, same 0DTE strangle, same fill, and put the two Sharpes next to each other? I would like to understand if the edge comes from the dealer gamma or just the vol level
Appreciate if QQQ can gimme another nice -3.4% on Monday
I got a QQQ 640p expiring in June today you guys think it will print
QQQ hasn’t reacted yet, I hope it’s priced in already or else I’m actually really sad
Will we see 666 on either SPY or QQQ come Halloween? Will see.. will see..
95 percent of my account is QQQ SPY. the 5% of 0DTE and Futes have been a drag this year
It's cause all the WSB darlings and actual high-growth stocks are down so much. QQQ and SPY are detached while by revenue all sectors excluding Tech (40%) and Energy (26%) have grown less than 8%. Google as a blue-chip and the second most profitable company in the world is down 20% from ATH.
Yay! My day went well. I bought calls in the morning and sold on the spike, then sold some QQQ 711c to expire on their own today (took a nap). :dance:
Okay give us a pump back to 720 on QQQ next week. we all know it’s gonna happen that shit had been a magnet 🧲
I bought 06/27 QQQ puts today and hedged with 1dte calls AMA
If you liked buying QQQ at ATH you’ll love buying it at Covid lows soon
