am I missing something as the second day in a row the VIX was going higher during the session as the SPY and QQQ rip
Another day of corn tanks as QQQ surges. Who would ever buy this over tech.
Yup btc total shit as always as QQQ surges. 2 days in a row of this , so obvious
I salute those who buy today. SPY ATH with daily RSI 70. QQQ almost ATH. I'm too chicken of a bull and I sit with cash.
bers bought NKE and sold QQQ cause one is "overvalued"
Congrats QQQ at ATHs 😂😂😂

Dude why the fuck did you sell I’m sorry but like wtf. I was down $2k YTD and I kept putting more money into the sinking ship but now, since we’ve recovered basically fully just look at the YTD QQQ chart, I’ve erased all my losses YTD and am going up so hard. Litterally $700 up every day this shit is crazy I didn’t once think about selling even losing almost all my money
Looks like the dude with 1.5M in QQQ calls was right

Buddy. I sold QQQ calls that I bought at .25 for .68, they are now $4. I bought Tesla calls at $3.30, sold at $5.5, now they’re $14.
As long as MSFT is pumping, you can try to make a move, it's making SPY/QQQ go up...🚀
This week QQQ gonna have that blow off the top 3% day and I’m gonna nut into oblivion
We are in eternal peace. Come on now git your SPY,git your QQQ and bers git your GRND
This idea that there’s no volume? Look at the NDX instead of SPY and QQQ. Now STFU and learn.

Don’t feel bad buddy, I bought on 4/13, 4/16 QQQ $629 for .25, sold at .68, and now they’re $3.23. I missed out on thousands.
bought QQQ calls, palladium and platinum
Because it’s a 400 billion dollar company. If they do well they can still move markets. They were one of the largest holdings in QQQ before Walmart moved over. They probably still are tbh. Also I’m biased because I own Netflix.
Just buy SPY/QQQ or AAPL. You are correct in that these are boring ass stocks with basically no volume but they just follow the index (maybe lagging a bit). AAPL is my preferred stock in this category because instutitions buy it up when fear is high, and specifically when AI fear is high. And it still compounds like a tech stock with its insane buybacks.
I’ve been building an AI-powered stock analysis tool for months — not some generic ChatGPT bullshit wrapper, an actual system I’ve been grinding on. It’s not ready for the public yet, and honestly I don’t know if I’d want to share it based on what I’m seeing in backtesting. But I thought it would be interesting to drop this here and see if it holds up. I put $80k in puts around $675 for May 1st thinking we’d pull back, and like every other bear I got faked out by this rally. I’m holding and I think I’m right. My first real trade using this thing two weeks ago made me $10k. This is the bigger swing. If the support/resistance lines look slightly off, I’m still fine-tuning — but the thesis is what matters. Signal: SELL at $694.46 | Targeting $652–$628 | Stop above $705–$717 Why I’m bearish at $694: This rally is built on hope, not substance. Trump says Iran wants a deal. Iran says US terms are “unreasonable.” Qatar denies any agreement exists. The Hormuz blockade is still active. Meanwhile March CPI hit a 4-year high, energy costs are up almost 11%, and the Fed isn’t cutting anything in 2026. The market ran almost 3% in two days pricing in a deal that doesn’t exist. Price is sitting right at a resistance level that’s been tested 7 times. RSI is at 67. This is a textbook rejection setup. What could make me wrong: If an actual Iran deal materializes, oil crashes, inflation pressure eases, and this whole thesis is dead. A close above $705 and I’m out, no questions asked. What I’m watching: • PPI data today • Iran headlines (binary — could go either way) • OpEx Thursday • Bank earnings this week Key levels from my analysis: Resistance: $705, $720 Support: $694, $683, $674, $652, $631 SMA-200: $665 | SMA-20: $661 Trendline break at $679 targets $655 To be fair to the bulls: Elliott Wave folks say the correction is complete and we resume higher. There are confirmed double and triple bottom patterns on the daily. MACD is positive. QQQ and IWM were both green over 1%. I see the bull case — I just think this is a trap at resistance. If anyone’s interested I can share a dumbed-down version of the playbook, but I’m not giving away the full process. Just wanted to put my money where my mouth is and let time be the judge. https://preview.redd.it/d8kf2nlhyavg1.jpeg?width=1285&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da69341c548a72b1cbd9a5a8142bb75699206754
you buy the dip on SPY / QQQ indexes Don’t mindlessly but the dip on individual stocks lmfao
Have a feeling QQQ is going to eat good in the next 30 days or so. Nvidia Amazon and TSMC all have earnings reports coming. Not advice could be wrong.
I am reading “Single best investment” (written 20+ years ago by someone who was in their mid career in the 70’s). The book advocates for individual stocks that pay dividends. Backtesting a sample portfolio in that book yields worse results than even dropping money into just SCHD - with a few companies having gone defunct. VOO and QQQ buy and hold squash that sample portfolio listed in the book. While the basics of investing HAVEN’T changed - the vehicles, methods, and players have. Now days ETF’s are the normal, and retail investors can buy and sell on a whim on their own with no real cost to execute a trade. Placing money into VOO is a pretty safe bet since it offers automatic diversification. Add in VT and you have world diversification. 20 years ago you would have been holding 20 different stocks @ $20 per trade for a minimum of $1000 per trade (with a few days lag time) rather than 1 or 2 ETF’s with $0 trade fees and near instant execution from your sofa. The game has indeed changed and is different than Warren Buffet could have imagined.
This just my play play. Dont worry🫡 I am not the average idiot, everything else is in QQQ chillin https://preview.redd.it/tm3rflwb5avg1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78a2154073eb99fc0aa9d293d5d52f203a2cc7fb
This is the same level the market was at a month ago and you’re saying it “keeps going up”? It’s still flat. If QQQ goes above 640, ok, it “keeps going up”. Oil shortages have not really hit yet. Every analyst has clearly said that it will take another month or two. Markets are highly irrational in the short term. If oil prices go up to $150 or $200 for a long period, or we get real demand destruction, then the stock market absolutely will go down, unless the government decides to crash the currency, in which you should buy oil and gold anyways because your stocks will lose real value anyways. No amount of market manipulation and fraud can print more oil, helium, fertilizer, or petrochemical products into existence, period.
What are the odds that spy and QQQ hit ATHs, say sike, and drop 10% next week. Not negligible I'd say. Lol
Same here. Got assigned 900 shares of QQQ from $620P 2 weeks ago, sold all of them around $575 after the first bounce. Lmao. Immediate $40k losses.
Me. Still holding my QQQ puts while watching boggleheads celebrate the run…
After 10 straight green days on QQQ, I finally realize the strat should have used from Day 1 🤡
nor QQQ 11... but we both prob wrong
Starting on January 1, 2019, Cathie Wood's ARKK was once beating the NASDAQ QQQ by more than 100%. Now, she's underperforming it by -210% (think about that swing) and has destroyed more than $13 billion in investor capital.
Yeah, it’s completely detached from reality. I don’t know how QQQ was up 10 points today.
I own some amount of ASML, but I also own a lot VOO and QQQ and lots of other individual stocks such that I'm well diversified. In your case, you probably need more diverisification and I'd switch AMSL for SMH (or QQQ/QQQM). AMSL is a great company, but the "problem" is they can only sell to a very small list of customers - just silicon fabs. It's not as though there will be an endless supply of new fabs sprouting up, and so they'll have to increase/grow consumables. Contrast that with TSM which will have endless supply of production bookings for years on out. More predictable (and growing) cash flow is always better.
You need to see 2022 lol.. SPY & QQQ were dropping relentlessly during the whole year.
Good news: QQQ up 10 days in a row. Bad news: Only up 2% on the year.
Amen. The goal is stability over growth. Growth isn't promised, everyone here acting like it is. The income is promised, and stability is the key to a peaceful life. People here reaching for the stars when they haven't even left the atmosphere. Btw if can ask what field of profession were you involved in to amass such a wealth? I'm done focusing on growth, I have some plays but it's not so easy as people make it out to be. QQQ is growth and I'm just converting a small portionn less of gains into real income.
i have started to play that game, writing CSPs on AVGO QQQ NVDA this year have made me about as much as my stupid real job.
Lemme guess - we fuck up the entire world economy even more and QQQ pumps another 1.5-2%
tmrw will be day 11 green for QQQ.. I suppose your chances increase after that considering there's never been a 12 Day streak
Russian invades Ukraine: year long bear market. SPY bottoms -25%, QQQ -37%. 🍊 bombs 🇮🇷: quick lil mini dip, ATH 2 weeks later Middle East gets no respect 🥹
Now pushing against all time highs... will the QQQ and SPY charts break out? Also looks like Small Caps (IWM) and Midcaps (MDY) could move as well. That would probably confirm the resumption of the bull market. Exciting times.
I’ve taken $200 and turned into $1k-2k countless times now over six years, it’s very much possible. I only day trade the QQQ, I use my three day trades a week and I’ve been working 30 hours a week at a server job and trading have my own car and apartment. It only took me losing a million times before I figured it out.
678 for spy on the weekly, a huge gap but not as crazy as QQQ
Never said it does, just pointing it out. Weekly max pain is around $600 for QQQ
Max pain gap on QQQ is the largest since 2008, should be statistically nearly impossible but it's there
love how you replied with this image to all the haters, congrats man, I wish i bought QQQ, META, NVDA and MU calls at the open today
QQQ +12.6% from 3/30 lowest. Bears decimated. Theta gang loses for the first time since September 2025.
If MSFT and META come back strong QQQ will push 650 easily
Woah! The volume on SPY and QQQ seems to be higher than the last 3-4 days but still below avg. Volume.
Fuck it bout 626 QQQ puts for tomorrow. Am I regarded, maybe
Seems like a good level to buy puts on QQQ, no? Asking for a friend
I am a firm believer in the government replacing food stamps with iPad vouchers for single mothers only, forcefully Think about it, single mothers waste too much time and money on after-school programs and daycares. An iPad can hypnotize a 3 year old better than the traumatized obese nanny giving the kid time out. Too much money spent on overpriced baby food that doesn't allow the child to develop strong jaw muscles and a very narrow palate leading to overcrowded teeth, pulled teeth, and eventually braces. By getting rid of foodstamps altogether this will force mothers to buy steaks and hard vegetables which will save them money in the long run while their kids rizz up the suburban folk with their immaculate jawlines, allowing them to marry into the middle/upper middle class. poverty solved also QQQ 750 by EoM
Today is an okay day to open long puts, like 1+ month out. Sell puts against this long put, but 1-2 weeks out. Rinse, repeat. If the market shits tho, be ready to roll your shorts down and out, or close them entirely. Short puts on things like SPY, SPX, QQQ, can burn you badly, quickly, even if it's a spread. As others have said, there is no foolproof strategy. There's always risk. Market is bullish *right now*. It may not be bullish in a week or 2.
10 straight green days in a row on QQQ. what a time to be alive. QQQ has gone 11 days straight green ONLY ONCE in history, 2019
Friday QQQ 629p was 830$ at 6:30am. It is now 470$.
my Friday QQQ puts bought when it was 622 in the morning are up 5% rn
Generational opportunity to short a globalized market built on cheap energy that is having its last Dead cat bounce, lmao You think the world can just ignore a global energy and food crisis? That the Fed will print oil? That billions of people will go merrily on a diet when the harvest yields fail without urea? Already long gold, wheat, and Canadian tar sands refiners, and today went short QQQ.
I used to play options, viewing them as the quickest way to maximize profits, which they are for investors with less than $10,000. Occasionally, I would strike a big winning trade, but I would also lose big at times. I felt like I was consistently giving back my winnings, so I changed my strategy. I began investing only in companies that I personally believe in. If I perceive them as undervalued, overvalued, or if they have new products about to be released, recent or upcoming earnings reports, I thoroughly research all of this information and invest based on my assessment of the company’s potential growth or decline over the next one or five years. For companies that I believe to be more stable, I invest a larger amount, while for more volatile stocks, I invest a smaller amount. I allocate 10% of my total savings to make these riskier trades, and I never invest more than 1/4 of that amount in a single stock. Additionally, I have allocated 1/3 of my total savings to a few ETFs (such as QQQ). Since I quit options and started this new approach, I have seen significant improvements in my investment performance. To give you an example, about 2 year’s ago I started eyeing Intel (INTC). It was trading around $30 at the time. At some point it stated to drop when the CEO resigned, so I bought in at $25. I knew there 1.8 nm chips were the future and they were the only ones to have it. I knew this would increase the stock price, so I held out 1 year. In that time the stock had dropped to below $20, and after a years frustration I dumped my shares of INTC. That was about 6 months ago. If I had been more patient and had more faith in research and held the stock, it’s over $60/share now and climbing. I’m kicking myself in the butt over it. Now I’m hoping it drops below $50 so I can get in at a good price, but could’ve had kept it for half as much.
Please go back to all time highs by let’s just say by Friday and I will buy puts on QQQ again because I’m big gay bear 🐻🌈 I can’t see a new all time high not with everything going on.
First RKLB, now MSFT - bought call at 394$, is started tanking almost immediately. Im the opposite of king Midas, everything I touch turns into shit. I'm itching to buy QQQ calls.
QQQ green 10 days in a row; first time in 5 years.
You can try to correlate this bull run with whatever news/catalyst you want to, but the fact is that DXY (US Dollar) is dropping in strength. DXY down = SPY/QQQ up. The headlines can say whatever they want, but people are going to need to throw more dollars into their investments to generate the same returns as DXY falls.
Jesus Christ that coulda been a nice boring bag with a broker or literally just holding any of QQQ, SPY or DOW but ya know
Pull up a chart of the NASDAQ. Look at the tech dip a year ago in April ‘25. There was panic all over the financial networks. Doom and gloom. Tech was done for. What was happening was the undisciplined people were selling stocks to the smart people. The smart people, who probably went red for a while, made 40% gains. The panicked people took losses. I bought back then, even though tech dipped again, I have a 47% gain on QQQ and other stocks. When it dipped in Feb-March, I bought more. I’m up already. I invest in SOLID companies having a bad time. Like a crocodile - you just wait for the meal. It takes discipline.
volume leveling off hard. QQQ was at nearly 27M at 11:50 EST. now just 32M
New to options trading. Been doing it for around the past 60-70 days. Was looking at the price fluctuations on various options Quick question: Calls that expire today: QQQ calls for 631 and 632 have gone up 700 and 500 percent up, but 630 has gone up only 300 percent, why is that since 630 is closer to the current trading price.
i cant speak for others but as for me, i opened position in microsoft and google recently mainly due to anthropics. Anthropics is the next big thing and there is no way to invest into it before ipo other than a couple of ways: 1) pre ipo investing from HIIVE and other similar sites. I dont like this because you have a 90 day lock up and risk dilution or dumping by retail 2) Ark venture fund, i dont like this because it is mixed with other pre ipo stuff. but i have to say it has been on a bull run none stop so i might consider a small position here 3) this is the path i have taken which is to buy QQQ, MSFT, GOOG, and AMZN stocks/etf. this is because Anthropics is highly expected to included into the qqq shortly after IPO. also those other 3 companies either partnered or working with anthropics so investing in those companies is indirectly investing into Anthropics.
QQQ on a fucking tear and with volume
I’m getting lost rn, so many QQQ calls but then heavy SQQQ and then SMH puts but then heavy META AND GOOGL calls
Boring!!!! Loser!!!!! I’m jk. I own shit loads of VOO, QQQ, and a few other funds in my retirement accounts and other brokerage. This specific brokerage is my 50 cent “Get rich or die tryin” account.
Bears win like one of every ten fights but still keep trying. Between the deficit spending, debt interest, and AI infra build, there’s so much money being spent, luck is the only way to make money off of SPY/QQQ puts.

QQQ looking overextended by pretty much every metric but the shrek dicks keep coming.

Even as a ghey bear today has me feeling very fucked. How does collapsing peace talks and a double blockade leader to such a green candle. RIP my QQQ Shorts.
Still holding. If QQQ makes a new ATH I’m selling
Which do u prefer $SPY or $QQQ and why
QQQ green ytd is some fraudulent ass shiddddd
Friendly reminder QQQ was 550 10 sessions ago and you didn’t full port LEAPs
QQQ is getting close to RSI levels on a 4 hour chart where it's almost always reversed going back 20+ years. One of the most reliable backtested bets in the stock market. I know, fries in the bag, calls it is, bears are dead. But just thought I would put it out there.
