I’ve been doing some math. I think If we all ape into spacex we can bring down the world economy plus make some money for ourselves. Full port 50% spacex calls 50% 3 month dated puts on QQQ
SpaceX is rocket/satellite company being dressed as an A.I company to investors. In its own prospectus, it tells you that its Total Addresable Market is 90% invested in A.I. thats were all the money is going. In about 2 more weeks this shit will be included in the Nasdaq. The play here would be load up on QQQ calls in the short term as Soace X takes the Nasdaq 100 to the moon and at the same time load up on QQQ puts for next summer is this shit crashes and takes the Nasdaq with it.
[I am](https://i.imgur.com/Zoc2qGW.jpeg) But one thing is that once the float reaches a certain percentage, while market dilution will kick in, the evaluation for QQQ will simultaneously change, increasing the demand from APs. Just watch carefully and sell on a big slide, I suppose.
SPY QQQ flat in premarket means it's good news. We won't see red today
300-500 P/E Ratio is realistic. $405-675 is doable with QQQ having to buy and then other ETFs
Burry: QQQ / SOXX top is in, short everything Regards: umm didn't you say that 1000% ago? Burry: yes but I'm right this time
QQQ is strictly superior. I will die on this hill
Yeah, but not all of them. NASDAQ 100 and ETFs like QQQ and Vanguard are fast tracking it. S&P 500 will still take a year of evaluation.
I know y’all love you some SPY but QQQ hammers it consistently over time.
During Covid I sold some of my VOO and QQQ and instantly bought SSO, SPXL, QLD and TQQQ. Rode it way up and way down into the bear of 2022 which was a gut-wrenching ride. I bought more in Dec 2022 and have’t looked back. This isn’t for the risk averse for sure. But it can be a roadmap for anyone to deal with dramatic downturns. I’d just recommend selling the leveraged etfs once you’ve recovered if you can’t sleep at night taking that much risk (SOXL was another great one bought during the tariff tumult surrounding liberation day, currently up 14x)
TA-35 is the Tactical Analysis of the F-35 fighter jet. It’s used as a benchmark for the QQQ in recent years. Recently, the F-35 outperformed the QQQ significantly, which is rare, given how bloated and inefficient procurement process of this fighter jet program. Now that the F-35 is performing more optimally and production processes are improving, we are seeing a strong possibly that the QQQ etf will have a downturn. Actually, I have no idea what the TA-35 represents but this is my best guess 🤷
It's not even in QQQ yet. The earliest it can get into it is around July 6
No fucking way. It gonna drop for 10% and then a week before joining QQQ will raise for another 20%.
Not to mention the Passive Nasdaq ETF would be forced to buy at the end of the month due to Nasdaq fast track 15 days inclusion. You don't believe in Musk? Tough Sh8t, your passive QQQ etf is gobbling up shares.
You are totally missing the action dude. I got IPO shares. I knew for certain it would pop based on retail demand. It was a very low risk short term pick...effectively a triage. I also knew on day 1 and 2 retail would be buying and drive up the price. I alao know after 5 days it can be on the russell 1000 index. I also knew after day 15 it can list on nasdaq 100 which puts it on QQQ. It was criminally stupid to think it would not go up substantially in the very ahort term.
The QQQ and all NAsdaq-100 ETFs will be buying on the 6th of July.
In the words of Peter Lynch “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves." Time in the market beats trying to time the market. The biggest thing is to never panic sell. Stay invested and let the market do its thing. Trust the process and don’t worry about any gyrations. Over the long haul, you will recover if there are downturns. If you are that worried about putting it all in at once, you can break it down into monthly contributions over a 12 to 24 month period, but you may just as likely miss some upside and have the market turn right after your final installment. Set it and forget it. S&P 500 is the easiest. It sounds like you are too risk averse to take 10-15% and put it into QQQ or another Nasdaq 100 equivalent fund. Over the long haul, it will add some volatility, but will also add higher returns for a small portion of your portfolio.
You don't have to choose one index. If I were doing nothing but indexes, buy-and-forget, I'd do a mix of QQQ (tech heavy but good if there is no AI bubble), VOO, VXUS (exclude the US) and IXJ (healthcare). Ideally however you should buy more every week. If you are scared about the idea of buying at the top and perhaps your stock losing value for years before it recovers, then just buy in a bit every month - say $1000 a month. After the $7000 is all invested, you can set a goal of say $200 a month, which you can increase later when you have a job.
Invest $1,000 a week in VOO and $1,000 a week in QQQ.
I’ll move all the industry ETFs to just VOO, QQQ, and VXUS. Keeps it cleaner and will likely outperform
Spend 50% on SPY and 50% on QQQ, thank me in a few years.
You have it exactly backwards. S&P stands on business it was NASDAQ and QQQ that be t over for Elon.
I'm about to passively buy around $60K worth of SpaceX stock because I have a fair amount of money in Invesco QQQ. SpaceX may run for a little while after index funds are forced to buy, but it will drop by 50% from whatever the peak is within 6 months. If it were really just SpaceX, I wouldn't mind. Starlink is an amazing service. The reason you are getting downvoted is that this IPO stapled a money furnace (xAI) onto a good company in order to dump their bags on investors like me. SpaceX claims that they have a total addressable market of $28.5 trillion. Is that revenue coming from space-based data centers or Moon mining? Nope. $22 trillion is because of xAI and LLMs. Guess what percentage of the enterprise market Grok holds. That's right, **0.4%**. Aside from Elon, *all* the senior founding employees of xAI have quit (terrible financial decision for them, but they all saw the writing on the wall) and xAI had to re-tool their training scheme because it was operating at below 20% efficiency.

As others have said, VOO, VGT, QQQ... I'd prefer to invest in different ETFs so that you can learn how and why they perform differently.
Just pumping it until can fucking drag down QQQ once it rug pulls. Beautiful market.
Not even close to FIG. FIG didn’t have a low float, didn’t get fast tracked into the QQQ and don’t have the meme power. The closest is ARM. It shot up and never came down despite the ridiculous numbers.
Looking for Space X to make a move to 1200 per share by july 6 QQQ inclusion
So youre telling me 10% of the QQQ is going to be a barely profitable TSLA and and SPCX running massive losses for a decade with a starship that cant land even when empty
Perhaps 🤔 QQQ or other growth ETF. Mainly concentrated on tech stocks for the volatility. Then over time he can watch it grow.
I have trouble understanding this post. You bought it for long term, but you're upset because it went down $40 in the short term? That's like getting married, but feeling worried because your wife has her period. Bro, Microsoft will be fine. If you can't stomach a very small decline, don't buy single stocks. QQQ and VGT are perfect options for you.
VTI is the 19 and QQQ is the 24th so that’s the big initial push with no new equity released. 2.5 billion or so for VTI and 3.5-4 for qqq/qqqm so about 5-7% of total float. ITOT is September so there will be more unlocked shares by then but unlocking more shares increases the float and trigger more buying by the other 3.
Short QQQ long SPCX everythings selling to buy more SPCX
If it's possible, figure out your delta versus QQQ. Then look at buying the correct amount of QQQ put options that would protect your position. Your goal would hopefully use the dividends to buy the protection puts. I have made a spread sheet for myself and I think that trading view has a few scripts for it. I happen to use 7% stop losses in most of my portfolio's. And have always a rolling puts that is 180 days out around 11% - 13% range, I do expect a huge market adjustment sooner or later, I'm just not going to time the market, just being ready for it. I've made lot's of Alpha just by being stopped out and watching the market slide further down.
Not yet unfortunately the funny part is in 25 days QQQ needs to buy a ridiculous amount of it at this valuation.
Can someone please tell QQQ that SpaceX is part of it and to go up.
Are you living on the money or just paying taxes and doing more trading? If that is the case, just buy QQQ or something and you'll be better off.
I agree with the pricing but I didn't buy it except through QQQ. It is outrageous but AMZN lost a lot for years. However I don't buy Tesla, Space X or Costco for that matter.
Not in QQQ for another 2 weeks
It would have to be a 3% down day, but if we fill that gap tommorrow, or over the next couple days, calls on QQQ
At first I thought "the math ain't mathing", but really, bull market has been bull-ing. Assuming she invested her $40k inheritance early on (say Jan 2016), and something aggressive like 100% QQQ, that $40k is now $286k with absolutely zero additional contributions. Contributing $250/mo (completely reasonable for her income) and you're at the $400k number. Pretty wild. Or the dollar is worthless now. Maybe a little bit of both.
So it has 3 big bumps coming that everyone is aware of. VTI buying, QQQ buying and ITOT buying. Then it needs 4 profitable quarters for SPY and VOO. This is combined against investor lock ups going into Q2 earnings. So it’s going to squeeze, the major investors in the IPO will take profits and we get to see if retail can hold it up. If one looks at Bitcoin one can see how irrationality can maintain price forever.
People generally fail when they try to beat the market. A wise man might want to diversify. Index funds are a ready machine to do that. SPY is one (AI heavy rn) while QQQ is another (AI light rn). This is not financial advice, only financial information.
Not only did QQQ need 12-14 years to "go back to $0" gains... Inflation exists. If you even wanted to keep up w/ a 3% bond market rate or the like, it'd take even longer to "break even". Also, the AI boom/bubble really hard-carried QQQ at the finish line here, didn't it? There's no guarantee that over the next 25 year time period there will be a similar boom for it. I'm curious how a QQQ forever holder compares w/ someone who dropped it when the dot com bubble dropped say... 20% from peak, invested in the other various funds the same day, then say around when NVIDIA became the largest company in the market (ie, well past when the AI rally began, again... no incredible timing here) switched it all back over to QQQ. How would those scenarios compare to the guy who never sold? Maybe also would be interesting to measure till the end of 2019 for each, since that's before the 2020 craziness and AI becoming a big thing, to see how QQQ had done against the others by that point.
FYI - the dates indices are adding SPCX. Doubtful it will dip much before July 6th because of all the forced buying and very low float. Do with this information as you will. Also, SPCX has a rolling lockout, which will prevent massive dumps from insiders. Russell 1000 / Top 200 - June 26 MSCI World /ACWI = June 29 Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) = \~July 6
Bers crawling out of the pit after seeing that red QQQ AH candle
Coming from similar background, I just got out of 40 hour DD with Claude Code including creating a testbed to check how to be ready for a crash. Of course my first intention was to find an edge on options trading and to my surprise the best thing to do is to invest as dumb as possible. I got no results with higher sharpe and ror if you include taxes. Key learnings: 1) Don’t sit on cash / risk free assets: even if the party goes only on for another 3-6 months, you’ll be better off investing 2) Don’t pick individual stocks. Any free data you have has survivorship bias and there is a good chance you can get rekkt 3) Diversify ETF: QQQ, Energy, SP seems balanced 4) get some gold exposure Depending on your time horizon for anyone who doesn’t want to cash out in 10 years it doesn’t make sense to sell. Best sell/buyback premium I’ve found was SP closing below/above 200sma but considering taxes even that doesn’t give any better results than buy/hold and monthly invest. Energy = hedge against inflation / oil prices Gold = hedge against inflation / stagflation So something around 30% SP500 30% QQQ, 20% energy etfs plus 20% gold seems to be solid with only 25-30% drawdowns compared to 50+% for buy and hold SP500 I’m a bit regarded so I do 90% allocation for what’s above, 7% stock picking, and 3% gambling money allocation. Not an investment advice because nobody knows shit and I’m probably in the wrong sub for anyone reading this post fully.
BERK is an excellent hedge to QQQ imo.
It actually does worse cause it opens you to unlimited upside loss. 1. Scenario 1: QQQ rockets 200% over a year. The SQQQ you're shorting goes to $0. The maximum you can lose is 100%. TQQQ however would go up around 600%. So you'd be fucked. 2. Scenario 2: QQQ plummets to near 0 over a year. TQQQ basically goes to 0. SQQQ however goes up 600%. So you'd be fucked. First guy is just a super glue eater who's so dumb their retardation it infects others.
This was a wierd rally based more on QQQ being oversold rather than the market actually being positive about the crisis. IWM, RSP and Euro stocks gave back most of the gains through the day. BOJ will decide the outcome atleast for tomorrow.
Lol, you *shorted* SPCX???? WTF man. Elon is friends with Trump, SpaceX is really the only game in town (Earth) if you want to put stuff in space, Starlink is probably the best and most widespread ISP, Google contracts, Gov't contracts, forced buys by the Russrl, other wtf's, QQQ and SPY eventually. C'mon man.
The answer is to keep buying and not divest, there is no "other place" to put your money. What kind of answer are you looking for? Some obvious answer? Some secret answer? There is no such thing. "Just hold cash in the dips! Bonds would be better, SQQQ would be the best when the market is crashing" - holy shit! Didn't realize that, thanks. My personal views on this are you shouldn't hold QQQ (Nasdaq) in the first place; it's not diversified enough. S&P500 is better. But you do you. Instead of asking what is best to buy when the crash comes, consider more how to respond. If there's a crash: 1. Don't divest. Just keep buying through the crash. Looking at how the line goes overall isn't the same thing as asking how well your dollar-cost-averaged portfolio is doing overall. 2. If there is some "historic" crash (25%+), THEN seriously consider buying double- and triple-leveraged index funds going forward, holding them as long as you're comfortable for. 3. The best response to a crash is not divestment but instead to keep buying through it. Portfolios that simply extend their "cash-out" point are best protected simply by adding 3-5 years to your final divestment (investment exit point). Use AI to examine 20 and 30 years rolling periods all over the last two to three centuries to see how well this works out. If you are flexible with 3-5 years of your exit point you will find you can weather most any storm and come out ahead. Trying to time the market is a fool's errand for most.
I don’t think you’re right. I think they have to get it all at 4pm but the process is more complicated than that. But it’s not an accumulation after day 15- that would not be acceptable to QQQ. Somehow 9% I think of unique shares at 4pm being turned over can be a big event. The 6/18 should have one such event then 7/2 I think is another
About 70%. I do 0dte Spy and QQQ occasionally and I rarely close it in red. Although it does leave money on the table but it’s doable
It's so retarded I had to do a double take because my IQ cratered reading and thinking about those trades. Anyways, it's better to do it with options but then you're not even doing anything to QQQ so much as running a "short volatility" trade. Sure you could jump through hoops and take unlimited upside risk like that but it's easier to just use UXVY/SVXY options if you wanted to play VOL.
I'm predicting 400 by the end of the month (if it actually enters QQQ by then). Stop thinking about the off-market stock and think of it as a 555.6 million share company and it's not that crazy.
Musk added Bill Gates net worth today. That's fking wild SpaceX is going to pump until July 5th at a minimum - QQQ addition

Will QQQ pass SPY tomorrow?
QQQ puts. Put your money where your mouth is
Too soon, at least wait until after Russell and QQQ are forced to buy in since that will probably boost the stock further, but having been burned on TSLA puts, it's a risky game. You're potentially fighting against people who want to be sold a dream.
QQQ has been in a $2 window since 11:10 am EDT. Absolutely legacy performance by thetagang.
Just short btc and go long QQQ , SSO, CHPY. cannot lose money
btc dump hard again. shorting this is always free money when combined with QQQ
Sack up and put it all on QQQ puts
The algorithms are brutal -- QQQ pumps three percent and gets pinned for most of the day
QQQ ticker is bugged like one week already, lazy mods fix it FFS
One lesson here is that diversification often looks unnecessary in hindsight because we already know which asset class won. The real test is whether you would have held 100% QQQ through multiple 30%–35% drawdowns without abandoning the strategy, because the best-performing investment is only useful if you can stick with it.
Why is IWM not moving as well as QQQ or SPY
Ain’t no way QQQ ends up 3% for the day. Pullback down to junk 735 at least
I was thinking this morning hmmm QQQ up 3% so NOK should probably be up 8-10% after it dumped harder last week than the indexes. Haha what wishful thinking that was!
It's a smaller company, but ITRN is really cool. They do vehicle locational tracking for like stolen cars, growing a bit more in the US, but mainly ex-us markets. Subscriptions continue to grow, so they have stable FCF growth and the company has no debt. They make so much money that they did a special dividend last quarter and the thing doesn't have expensive fundamentals by any means. I think the yield is 3% on it. It's smaller than a common stock people by for dividends, but the thing has better asset performance than the SPY or QQQ.
I want my QQQ volatility back
Reformed bear here. I lost 800k in 2023. Please listen to me bears First...you are right. Your thesis is right. We are fucked...but they will stop at nothing to pump this. They will mortgage your children's future. They don't care. We will eventually have our lost decade though. So what do we do? Yolo puts? No... Just go for value QQQ Performance from 2000 to 2015 was ZERO % returns.. XLP was 300% XLU was 150%
I need some advice/reassurance I guess? I’ve started the whole investing journey about a month ago now. Had the expected happiness when it went yo, and the absolute depression when it went down. Now, I’ve been reading up a bit more and want to learn. I’m currently 90% S&P (VOO) and 10% Nasdaq (QQQ). I’m non US and non EU. Should i bother changing from VOO to VUAA for my next round of buying? Or is the difference marginal enough? Also, should I go for more of a 70/30 split US/International? If so, VT?
QQQ 750 today and I'll be done for the week. Thanks
Keep all your savings in QQQ, I guess
Please stop talking about QQQ.
Holding QQQ will make you buy it
I'll tell you I'm confused too. For QQQ for example, will they be accepting it 15 trading days after the IPO, or will they be accepting it after their next rebalancing at the end of the next quarter? I think I need to call Schlossberg and demand some answers.
Well some index funds do. But many don't. Invesco QQQ accepts baskets of stocks from authorized purchasers and issues new QQQ stocks for them. The composition of the new baskets will change, but Invesco doesn't have to rush out and buy a bunch of SpaceX to equal 2% of its holdings. As time goes by the amount of SpaceX they hold will approach 2% as they receive more baskets.
If I inherited 400k, plan to go 100% equities, I would spread out over 4 to 6 months. I would probably plan $30k in SPY and $20k in QQQ, alternating the first and third Monday of the month. Park the cash waiting to go into the market in a very liquid, medium yield, bond ETF such as SPHY so you get some decent interest. Sell a week ahead what you will invest the next week. Over 8 month totally invest. Depending on the markets, if there is a significant pullback, then speed it up some. All depends on your comfort with the risk - going all in with a risk for losses or time based and missed gains over several months.
Bought 50 June 18 QQQ $750 calls....can I contact the Lambo dealer soon?
u think qqq will move a dollar or two? are you braindead? I dont need protection for a dollar or two move. Its intended to protect against a breakdown. If QQQ ends up at 730 at close, ill be up a thousand + on that put. shouldnt buy it right ofc not
Nasdaq is too small to reasonably impact the market, beyond a small shock. QQQ only has a 21B market cap, at 1.5% you're looking at 315m worth being bought. S+P index funds ETF have well over a trillion of market cap combined. Which even at a lower weight would add more pressure
Hey QQQ…why couldn’t you do this Friday when I had 730 and 740 calls u CUNT
The fuck are you talking about? Did QQQ go up 9x in the past year?
grabbed a 0dte QQQ 740P as protection. cheap shit 48$
MU about to underperform vs QQQ, can't make this shit up
I'm celebrating this pump by eating corn dogs with a hint of salmon. There was leftover salmon bits in the air fryer. Fly QQQ, ***fly!!!!***
