How much money did you make today? Don't know what you had puts on, but if it was QQQ or SPY you got paid. Told you those interest rates weren't gonna get cut
You’re thinking about the right things, but there’s a small misconception here — diversification isn’t something you “start later,” it’s something you decide on from the beginning. Right now you’re actually very concentrated: almost entirely US, and heavily tilted toward tech (VOO + QQQ + MSFT/GOOGL/AMZN is a lot of overlap). That’s fine at 20 if it’s intentional, but it’s not really diversified. Also, international exposure isn’t “safer” — it’s just a different driver. Same with bonds: they’re not for higher returns, they’re for reducing volatility and protecting against bad timing (especially closer to retirement). So instead of thinking “what age do I diversify,” a better way to think is: → When do I need stability over growth? Typically: • 20s–early 30s: mostly equities (you can stay aggressive) • \~10–15 years before needing the money: start adding bonds • Closer to retirement: increase stability further For international, you can add it anytime — even 10–20% already makes your portfolio more balanced globally without hurting growth much. Your current setup is basically a high-conviction bet on US tech continuing to outperform. That can work, but it’s a bet, not diversification. If you want something more balanced without losing growth, even a small shift (like adding VXUS and reducing overlap) would already make a big difference. If you want to see how concentrated your current setup actually is: [https://portfomemo.com](https://portfomemo.com)
Micron Tech just announced earnings and revenue TRIPLED there's no disconnect, this is just a hick up stocks go up stocks go down but over the long term they ALWAYS go up the best thing you can do is put 100% of your pay check into the market just pick an ETF like VOO or QQQ and you will ALWAYS have more money tomorrow than you did today
Put $100k in SPY or QQQ… 5 years or less you will be even.
!banbet QQQ over 600 tomorrow
I have QQQ puts at 320 strike expiring june 2028 if you must know
Man you would have like 275k$ if you went QQQ instead. If you lose that much money during a massive bull run maybe don't play the stock market.
I'm gonna revenge trade 100k in QQQ August puts tomorrow.
Im just cash, QQQ put LEAPs, XOP/energy right now, in that order. And a lil bit of short end bonds.
!banbet QQQ -0.5% 1d
Our Lion will Rise, and it will Rise way faster than the S&P & QQQ. That is a promise.
what is it gonna take to break QQQ 600? jfc
QQQ $560 then I’ll get bullish again but not before that…
even with DCA it sucks. you are better off with QQQ
Mainly option seller here, I copy and paste all macro, watchlists and candlestick charts into chagpt every day about 45 minutes before open. Vix, QQQ candlestick charts, usd.jpy. I tell it to give me an iron condor with low to moderate risk for 2DTE setup based on macro. It spits one out. Depending on vix, vix trend, vvvix, usd.jpy, gold, silver, eth, btc, es, nq, uso it understands the overall macro and macro trend positioning. Its not rocket science and this trade idea overall is something I've been switching to, but it keeps my thinking on the rails and has helped me create a vix based framework for the sizing, wing width, strike distance from the money, of my positions as well. I take profits early and just let the market reset the next day. New risk profile new spread. obviously they don't always change much from day to day, but I just prefer booking profits and not holding short dated options overnight in this current regime. I have more capital to deploy the next day, more margin available etc. I have been tending to write 1-2DTE, but close same day. Entry after market range is established. Obviously this strategy lasts only as long as we aren't really trending up. Perfect for high vix chop. I will often paste options chains in as well, and see if it can pick up on any premiums that are better at certain strikes than others. It can do math pretty well, but you have to double check a lot of what it is saying. It forgets simple things like 2DTE options are actually 3 day options. It is helpful to use to brainstorm, adjust strategies, find sector rotations early... lots of use cases.
QQQ 600 it went to 590 5x since february and it bounced from 600 to 610 7x since february so coinflip in 2 hours
you guys made daddi do it. Spreads: bull put QQQ bear call USO
A bit of context: I am an 18 yr old college student who landed my first paid internship this summer in Seattle. I will be making 9k pre-tax per month for 3 months. I know after taxes my income really becomes around like 7k. (let me know if this is wrong). I've been doing some research on how to effectively set up my income for the future but am still unsure If I am doing things correctly and would like any advice on what to change / how I should continue for the future! My first priority with my income is maxing out my Roth IRA, I made a Roth IRA with Fidelity and I believe the max contribution amount for 2026 is 7500. For three months, I decided that when I get my paycheck every month that 2500 will immediately go into my Roth IRA first and foremost. That leaves me about 4500/mo. My next priority was to start a HYSA with Wealthfront (with 3.95% APY) and for every month put $1000 into my HYSA for emergency fund / savings. However, I'm not sure if this is the best option or if there are better HYSA other than Wealthfront that would be better for me. After my Roth IRA and my HYSA, I would be left with 3500/mo. This is the part where I really am not too sure how to allocate my funds effectively. I would like to invest most of it in my Fidelity Brokerage account, into an ETF, but I know I will need money for food and general living expenses (excluding rent because I received a housing stipend for my internship). I was thinking leaving 1500/mo in my checking account as a spending buffer (or maybe descreasing this?), and then other 2k/mo into my Fidelity Brokerage account to invest, but I'm not sure if there are any hidden fees or any other better ways I can use my money. Please let me know any advice you have for me! I really appreciate your time and responses! I would also like recommmendations for what I should invest in for my Roth IRA and my Brokerage account. I know ETFs are recommended but some people say QQQ is better than SPY and vice versa and I'm not sure if in my brokerage what individual stocks I should buy. Please give me any advice you have!
My QQQ puts I have bought on Monday are now 2$ ITM but still 50% down due to sinking VIX
Made good money on QQQ puts. Got my ass blown out on USO puts. The circle of life.
So I would say, 20% is probably fair depending on much you need that 20%, like don’t use 20% of your intended mortgage down payment. I do a lot of .1 delta PCS, and roll to DTE, never really close early as it cuts into fees. On red weeks I’ll sell more .12-.15 and .08-.1 on green weeks. From an active cash account I sell more QQQ but that presents pin risk, and more monitoring. I use about 10-20k and make decent money for what it is. Usually in the .12 range, 30-40dte, and I try to stay out of the news like this afternoon. If you’re serious about it, try to land before days of significant events but that takes calendar awareness and the inevitable prez dropping tariff news on a random Tuesday afternoon. I don’t use stop losses, I hold even in pain, unless something changes. I will say this is the easy time, you picked the easiest period in 5 years to sell IC on anything large. It will change, have a plan.
Taking a huge dump right now: me 🤝 QQQ
Nice. I’ve been trading in and out of IWM and QQQ puts. Going very well.
!banbet QQQ 597 5h PICK A FUCKIN SIDE IM GOIN FLACCID
"channel" lmao on what time frame? RTH or ETH? SPY or QQQ? if you're going to talk to TA maybe actually talk TA
it's wild that investors are hiding in QQQ. they would rather park their money in cash flows hard to model from higher oil hawkish fed over easily modellable value stocks, small caps, or defensives.
Quick, we have a generational 0.3% dip in QQQ after a 2 day nonsense phony pump of 2% on nothing. Everyone rush to buy the dip asap!!!!
I still believe that my 🐈 is correct. 453 QQQ is coming soon.
Falling job growth, layoffs, war, oil soaring. QQQ is going to $200 or less. Most mag 7 are already on the verge of bankruptcy. Sell EVERYTHING before it’s too late and get to your bunker.
So this is why there was ITM puts bought on QQQ. (which is super bearish) Fun's over again, I'm afraid.
Ok Mon and tues were the same I’m leaning towards the whole week being like this yeh sure QQQ might hit 607 today but by Friday it will be 601
OpEx week I mostly watch where the big OI clusters are on SPY/QQQ to get a sense of the pin zone. when dealers are long gamma near high OI strikes, price tends to get sticky and mean-reverts — great for selling premium. when they're short gamma, moves get amplified and you don't want to be short vol blindly. this month with VIX still elevated the gamma dynamics are even more exaggerated than usual. I don't trade off GEX alone but it's a useful filter — if positive GEX = sell premium confidently, negative GEX = tighten up or sit out
QQQ will NEVER fall down below 600
Send QQQ to $585, I’ll come to the rescue and save the market. Pretty please.
My QQQ puts going to shambles
>I have been working on a strategy that on around 40-50% of available trading days, can predict by 10:30 if the market will close above or below its open So not being too critical but I can get >50% accuracy with the following model when tested on Spy, QQQ, IWB, and VT and all of them get higher accuracy when restricting to more recent date ranges. ``` def willMarketCloseAboveOpen(stockData: pd.DataFrame) -> int: return 1 ``` This isn't to discredit your model just that the ability to predict close being above open around 50% of the time is insufficient to make a trading algorithm or to really use for trading signals.
Moves tomorrow: stare at my watchlist like it owes me money, buy the top on a "confirmed breakout," then paperhand the first red candle and call it risk management. If NVDA sneezes I'm full porting QQQ 0DTEs because apparently I hate peace.
Someone please enlighten me, Wtf is going on that's so good that QQQ just keeps going up?
I think a lot of people watch SPY/QQQ etc in overnight markets too
.21 and .34 on the QQQ's. Deviating.
QQQ's rippin. Prolly fake tho. But maybe not. But prolly.
> The sentiment in this sub and other investing subs like r/stocks are overwhelmingly bearish. Nah, can't agree. The overall vibe on Reddit is "a slight downtick in exuberance." Still heaps of people on the, "I'm 100% QQQ but it's too safe, how do I take risk while I'm young?" train. Beyond that, you can know there are inevitabilities, and just not know when it's going to hit. Greenspan had his "irrational exuberance" speech in late '96 going into '97. Stocks ripped for a good couple years more before it all poofed.
Another night where QQQ going up and btc dying. Shorting crypto always free money. Just got to have patience to ride out the occasional dead cat bounce.
More LMND... DUOL.... RDDT Afternoon Update: Corned Beef And Cabbage BAGS [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmnI59rssb0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmnI59rssb0) $SPY $RDDT $LMND $QQQ
Oh see that the QQQ's are down $0.02 after hours because the world's obviously ending duh
Tanuki 0dte filter seemed to line up with geeks of finance 0dte filter they were just a little bit off mind you I am comparing tanuki NQ futures gamma exposure to geeks of finance QQQ gamma exposure since geeks of finance does not have futures NQ and ES gamma exposure obviously they are SPX and QQQ so the comparison is very much similar when I am looking at both of them on different platforms and but since one is an ETF and the other is a futures they will not line up perfectly but looking at both next to each other they both were giving the same modeling and where the exposure is for example today NQ was basically limited to a number at its highest today before it sold off in the afternoon and tanuki showed no high level or a significant level you can say price action was climbing too and on geeks of finance QQQ they have an option on platform where it shows a “Dealer cluster zone” those zones are where market makers will buy and sell” and QQQ showed that it was in the dealer selling zone on their platforms so they made were projecting the same model geeks of finance have YouTube videos to show to show you their platforms they post daily.
If QQQ is higher than SPY, then tech is up If QQQ is lower than SPY, then tech is still up but not as much.
Quick rule If QQQ is leading $SPY → risk-on, tech momentum, long setups work better. If QQQ is lagging $SPY → risk-off rotation, tech breaks down faster.
will QQQ finally fall below 600 for more than 2 business hours? tune in tomorrow to find out
If QQQ is stronger than SPY, avoid shorts. If it’s weaker, avoid longs.
I am still expecting QQQ to get up to 610 before any dumping happens
Over the past month QQQ is up .34%…that really is something
Why has SPY and QQQ been so range bound for the past 3 months
QQQ gonna break under 604 again
Step sis $QQQ stuck between 603-604
QQQ was at 609 the Friday before the war started. So it’s basically unchanged. Which is completely bat shit crazy.
buy SPY QQQ IWM
All I want is 607.69 on QQQ to fill that gap so I can short
Reminder that QQQ is not even 1% down from when the war started.
2dte QQQ puts at 605
QQQ > $600, a love story that knows no bounds
Now that I've had a taste for buying QQQ <600 the thought of buying 605 is a lot
QQQ just fucking dump already
QQQ back to 600? Seems like its happy place
googl the new gold standard, i mean gold is more volatile. I am holding this for 5 months i could as well have i under my bed crazy. Best QQQ days it gos up +0,30% and war start -0,30%
lol another ay QQQ surges and everything seems flat or red

Just buy QQQ calls before closing and hold till morning. Hack that always pans out
Regarded market obsessed with whole numbers. Won't let MSFT go below 400, QQQ below 600, META below 600
if NVDA didn’t suck ass QQQ would be at ath
I'm a simple man, I see QQQ below 600, I go 50x leverage calls
Doing CSP for stocks you do not own is a waste of leverage. You do need a 60k+ account , but what you do is get approved for Selling Options in a Margin account. Then to sell the following ( Amzn, Appl,Googl, Coin,Bidu, Nvda ) at a 20delta only requires 2k-4kk. QQQ or Spy 6k-10k depending on broker. That cash could be in treasuries or Sgov types earning interest. The Sgov types get 70% face, so 100k becomes 70k BP. The object is not to take assignment , just Sell the option and buy it back for less , so you usually sell 40dte and close at 21dte. Not sure what BP is , here are Tasty vids.

Cheap puts at open, QQQ finishing down at least 1% today
QQQ > $600, a love story that knows no end
The time to start buying is on a huge down day for index funds. Last year's signal was -7% intraday on QQQ
Both SPY and QQQ are gonna theta til Friday if we don't get a big event. Wednesday isn't going to do anything.
QQQ will NEVER spend more than a few business hours below 600
QQQ or NVDA puts. Expecting NVDA to go -3% today and dip to the 160s by end of next week. Will see if I'm right in 2 weeks.
QQQ will never fall below 600 for more than a business day
0 days till expiration. Like SPY, SPX, QQQ, NDX. If you get the direction correct those contracts can gain value very quickly.
QQQ puts tomorrow morning
lol they could have bought QQQ or almost anything else and done better

Iwm is garbage, just focus on SPY or QQQ, even if the market rallies iwm may go down more (my experience)
Seriously prob calling itnway too early but I haven't focused on IWM too much. Is it always this volatile or just always this reliable to disappoint on a rally even more than the SPY or QQQ?
All the goofies talking about 0dte’s are gambles simply haven’t put in the work. Its that simple. Maybe OP was gambling id what OP knows. Put in the work and yea it’s repeatable. When you consider all the parameters that go into just one single day of trading. Such as the average range or even more specific the max range. You then begin to build a highly probable outcome scenario that looks like this. Look back on QQQ and find the maximum single day range. Find the average range of a single trading day. If the max is lets say 3% and you reach 2.89% for the day. Guess what. Odds are not 100% it goes down but basically getting close to 0% upside left. Therefore 2 scenarios are left. You stay at the highs to close the day or pullback. Explanation is crude but it’s an example of putting in some work and formulating scenarios that work in your favor. You want it? It’s available… finger it out 🤣
