Okay, since May. But that's hardly "the Market" alone, right? And +16.31% YTD isn't exactly bad performance either. But I thought we're here not really talking indexes and the overall market. QQQ and SPY have been going sideways but there's been tons of movement up and down underlying that. I wouldn't call the past month or two exactly boring.
They will still find a way to send QQQ to $720

Maybe some people would rather buy QQQ calls than pay property taxes and mow a stupid lawn. When my AC unit dies I get a new free one. When it snows my ass sits inside and watches the maintenance crew plow and salt.
Because I laid eyes on your play, it's going to get fucked. SPY and QQQ up 1% at open tomorrow.
What would be the difference in price within a 5-10 second delay on something liquid like SPY or QQQ? Whatever that price difference is, if OP is gonna hold for years, would it really matter if he paid a few cents more?
What are you all looking at? SPY down like .4. QQQ like .6. What am I missing.
yeah but you get the point its way less concentrated than something like SCHG or QQQ

If your sum is large enough to buy a few hundred shares of QQQ/SPY/VOO/IWM, selling CSPs and CCs is an easy way to bank off the premiums.
I think that's a good idea. I would sell a few short term puts in on QQQ and SPY at various strikes until I get assigned.
QQQ is up 20x from 2009 low. I don't think it will be up 20x again in 20 yrs.
Someone bought 2 million QQQ calls before close. It’s going up 100%
I am a financial advisor and fiduciary. A financial advisor isn’t utilized to beat the market/index. A financial advisor helps you plan not only for now, but your future. If you think of an advisor as just someone that manages your investments, you’re thinking about it all wrong. I help people from age 25 all the way to 95 (no joke, have a few approaching 100). I construct portfolios based upon each clients specific goals, their investing comfort level, and if they need cash flow, etc. 80% of my clients are not beating the market, but I am ensuring their goals are met. Especially my elderly clients. Also, a good financial advisor, advises you on the tax impact of your investments. What you said about loading up your retirement savings, that’s all fine and dandy, and I’m not here to ever give free advice on the internet…but you’ll have a massive tax issue when you have RMDs start later in life if all you have is Traditional Retirement assets. That’s why you get a financial advisor. If you want to match the index, go buy SPY or QQQ. If you want someone to help you implement a plan for you and manage your tax situation, find a real good advisor you can trust. I don’t scam people, I have 25 years before I retire. I’m not trying to scam my clients and risk having no clients in 10 years. I’m helping them achieve their goals and give them peace of mind. I’m very fair with my pricing and up front and honest about any product I sell people. I ensure it is a suitable investment and realize the potential tax impacts, well before the novice investor will ever come to realize.

Gonna need QQQ close +10% tomorrow or else I lose the house
gold is just QQQ. gold chart and QQQ chart are correlated almost 1 to 1. gold will crash right along side stocks. if you think stagflation will happen, place your bets by buying gold after it's crashed, it'll pay off. no stagflation = gold and equities rise together so the window where you can buy gold and then sell the gold bounce to buy equities that haven't bounced yet is very narrow.
CRYPTO IS RIPPING QQQ calls at open
QQQ is literally up 50% since my comment.
Full porting 0DTEs with a bot sounds like a wild ride. Are you using market or limit orders for execution? Slippage on 0DTE SPY/QQQ during volatility spikes can be brutal if the execution engine isn't fill-optimized. Good luck with the challenge, will be interesting to see how the drawdown days are handled!
warsh is specifically saying that he wants to give less forward guidance... therefore LESS CERTAINTY. that and september in midterms is typically bearish as well as a new fed chair is bearish. don't get me wrong; i'm still invested in SPY, but im not levered up on QQQ or something
I’ll have to start checking it out! I do SPY or QQQ usually. My default is SPY, but recently QQQ has been paying so much better.
0DTE OTM QQQ calls can’t go tits up
It wasn’t just NDX. I used to trade SPY/QQQ/IWM too. I eventually consolidated mostly into SPX because the liquidity is great, it’s cash-settled, European-style so there’s no early assignment risk, and the Section 1256 tax treatment is a nice bonus. Plus, one SPX position gives me the exposure I want without needing a bunch of ETF contracts
And the individual stock is QQQ. If you feel adventurous, then IQQ.
Bought mid Oct and Nov puts on SPY AND QQQ for hedges, while buying weekly calls and call leaps mid 2027. Will let you know how it works out ahead of the election :-)
How old are you young blood? Could’ve made 40% parking it into QQQ. Consider doing that going forward.

The naming potential on this thing was wasted and nobody even tried. Four years of monthly distributions and the best the internet could do is "Jepstein Queffrey." But anyway, it's held up way better than most people predicted. The yield stayed in that 9-11% range without blowing up the NAV, which is not nothing. The covered call cap hurts when QQQ rips, but if you're in it for the cash flow you probably weren't chasing max upside to begin with. I still think most people buy it for the wrong reason and treat it like a bond substitute, which it absolutely is not. If you need income it's a decent tool, just don't expect it to save you in a real drawdown.
JEPQ is QQQ on a leash. You get paid every month, but you give up some moon potential. Fine for cash flow, terrible if you’re pretending it’ll beat QQQ in a tech melt-up. Basically QQQ for people who want their tendies on a payment plan.
Idk, can hold but don't expect anything crazy. I was hoping for a late cycle meltup blow off top but the vibes really don't confirm that. You can kinda look at the november 2025 to match 2026 period where tech was also flat. 5 grueling months where QQQ didn't move. Though back then soxx was doing very well (kinda riding memory). Basically, it could very well be deep red for 5+ months until it regains some life. It could of course still resume pumping, maybe for anthropic ipo hype or the mag 7 demonstrating that ai is truly profitable. Then i could see it bouncing again. I also don't really see where else to put the money right now. Spy will keep grinding higher but very slowly. Maybe sell a little bit but stay in with one foot. Who knows what craziness will happen around anthropic ipo.
The semi bubble is over. All growth is priced in and there is no hype pushing it higher. SOXX will now perform like QQQ at best.
To your follow-up question about whether walking the mid actually works: yes, most fills happen inside the quoted spread, but the useful detail is HOW to walk it. Start at mid, give it 20-30 seconds, then step toward the far side in increments that are small relative to the spread, not fixed ticks. If nothing fills by the time you've crossed ~60-70% of the spread, that's the market telling you the mid was stale, cancel and re-price off the fresh quote instead of chasing. And do it when the underlying is calm - walking a limit during a fast move is how you get filled at exactly the moment the fill is worst. One thing nobody's mentioned: XND exists (Nasdaq-100 micro index options, 1/100th NDX size). Same cash-settled index exposure, and the smaller notional per contract means the risk-per-fill problem that makes NDX quotes defensive mostly goes away. Liquidity is thinner in absolute terms but the effective spread relative to notional is usually far better for small size. If the wide quotes are what's keeping you in QQQ but you want index treatment, that's the middle path.
SKM is a $15B Korean telecom that owns less than 1% of Anthropic but its investment will add at least $7.5 billion to its NAV. Also, ETFs will just water down the share of Anthropic you are buying by letting late investors pile in. That’s why ETFs were marginal proxy plays for SPCX IPO. Another play is QQQ. Almost every major company with a large stake in Anthropic is in QQQ, including AMZN, MSFT, Salesforce, GOOGLE and Zoom. Will require holding until each recognizes the value.
The only value that matters is the mid-point whether the spread is wide or narrow. Use the mid-point to set your limit price. Don’t be afraid to ask for 10 cents less when selling or pay 10 cents more when buying. This is because NDX is 41 times the notional value of QQQ. Ten cents in a NDX option is like 0.24 cents in QQQ.

Yea, stick with QQQ. NDX & NDX100 will bankrupt you in 1 move. Notionally speaking SPY is a mouse compared to NDX. Imagine being on the wrong side of a 1000 point move. Which is typical for NDX.
Raking up so much losses or missed gains during past few months across several tickers. Need a red day to DCA in again. QQQ -5% next Monday?
#Individual stocks may drop, dump or even die but indices like SPY and QQQ will NEVER drop ever again LMAO🤌
At this point half the QQQ are high risk assets
Holding 9/4 QQQ 720C. I looked at the option pricing after close. It was within 5 cents of hitting my limit sell, by EOD it was down over 50%. I have the touch.
Full ported my last 3k into QQQ calls and made $137
I was down almost $3500. The complete reversal of SPY and QQQ saved me. Made only $180 at the end of the day. Bought QQQ and AMZN puts, PL calls😢
Monday’s gap up might be a +3% on QQQ
The very MILLISECOND there is anyways upward momentum on QQQ trading bots sell 4 billion in shares. There is so much buy pressure and then one overwhelming sell just keeping it fucking down. What if retail had its own exchange with no high frequency?
That's pretty hilarious when I'm screaming about the market selling off people are always like "aren't you the guy that always congratulations dip buyers" Besides I was only team bear from QQQ $730 to $702 for a nice 6 figure trade in a week Making money is a hell of a drug, you should try it sometimes
Similar play on QQQ 720p. Left something like 16k on the table :/
IWM down 1% QQQ down 0.7% SPY down 0.25% SPY also was up the most out of every index today All of the uppies none of the downies
Is there any actual chance of QQQ coming back up today or is this doomed
QQQ closing at 706 will make me very happy. :)
I'm thinking 719-720 close on QQQ. Wipe out 20k+ puts.
Thank god I exited QQQ when I did good grief
