The Nasdaq 100's valuation premium over the S&P 500 is near a 9-year low. Is tech actually expensive anymore?

QQQ calls with long term strike dates on the money, buy low sell high
QQQ puts at open, sh!t drilling
QQQ breaking out of its bollinger band while the Aroon Oscillator looks overbought. However there is a lot of room to grow in its Darvas box. The stochastic momentum index also shows a lot of potential
QQQ closes green more or less than 2.5% tomorrow?
Switching to QQQ but same plan, watch the first 30 minutes to see if we're just going to chop all day or what. Set the take profit and then be done for the day.
Haven’t even checked my port, already know my QQQ calls are printing at open
I'm sorry guys but market makers will not allow nvidia friday calls to expire ITM. expect two red days on QQQ, it is what it is.
bought QQQ 712C expiring tomorrow at the bell ring ring muthafkrs
QQQ $724 exp tomorrow $730 exp Friday, you dumping into whatever green there is at open or holding?
It still could, but I was really hoping for QQQ to open at like 720 in the morning so I can get puts. Who knows.
I'm selling my NVDA and SOXX tomorrow will put a bit into QQQ instead but I know I will hate myself for not taking the gains from the past couple years. Please call me a pussy, its ok get it out of your system.
Bers looking at QQQ right now in total disbelief lmfaooooo
QQQ is already up to $718. He's about to lose 70% of that trade by tomorrow morning. That's if QQQ doesn't add another 2-3 points because the Korean Degens saw NVDA green shrek bar.
QQQ calls tomorrow morning?
Hopefully 719 acts as support for QQQ now
closer to aug 19th... but QQQ all time high was almost 3 months ago...
Got my charts confused, I thought QQQ was at 770

I somehow lost money on QQQ calls today
I bought some QQQ OTM 100 contracts calls for 1 cent for $100 let’s see if tonight’s the night QQQ finally rally’s 4%
$SPY and $QQQ love the earnings, they are pumping. $NVDA will follow once the call is over.
QQQ 720 EOW!!! 740 mid-Sept LFG :screech:
No QQQ movement now. Damn
Bought QQQ calls exp tomorrow, not looking good

QQQ headed to 730 by Friday, Inshallah
I bought a single QQQ 713C for the memes.
I bought a single QQQ 8/31 call for the memes.
Everytime this thread says something the complete opposite happens. Calls on NVDA, SPY, QQQ and the rest of AI today before close.
I'm leveraged to the tits on SPY and QQQ calls. Jensen please don't do me dirty.
No rotate it into SPY or QQQ. Feel like NVDA will make less of a move than the overall indexes
QQQ is about to teleport to $740
With this kind of volume on QQQ and SPY. How the hell can you make money from it? Lol
Naw bro the IV on QQQ is absurd rn
The IV on these QQQ puts is phat, Idt we’re getting the mean reversion till it shakes
SPY 0.02% and QQQ 0.04%.....what are we even doing lol
QQQ = 100 large companies. SOXX = 30 semiconductor companies. More concentration = more upside potential when things go well. SOXX = entirely chips, which aligns with my thesis that chips will continue to kill it when the market feels bullish, rather than diversified tech like QQQ. I view SOXX as the higher risk but MUCH higher reward opportunity. After all, it is an ETF, so in the worst-case scenario, becoming a longer term bag holder (while not optimal) should end up working out. Conviction can also beat being right quickly. When SOXX decides to rally, it has pretty impressive rallies. I’m looking for maximum upside while not permanently blowing up my portfolio
QQQ went up to 712 and down to 708 and now they have it pinned dead flat.
How the fuck has the QQQ put I sold this morning not lost more than half its value already? If I bought that option, it would probably be worth $.01 by now lol
QQQ is up 24% in the past year. SOXX is up 105% in the past year. Soxx has more of the explosive potential I seek, and it also aligns with my thesis more.
imagine owning soxx when you can just concentrate risk on QQQ at roughly half the price lmao
What is more likely tomorrow? QQQ 700 or 720? Askin' fer a fren...
QQQ could literally be at $730 tomorrow then come back to $700 tomorrow lmao.
Yep that’s why I’m not rolling my ITM QQQ covered calls yet

Just asking for one more ai pump off nvda earnings then I'm out and will just invest in QQQ instead since its all AI anyways
It's gonna drop and take QQQ with it.
I sure hope it give a bump to QQQ.
This will be the first time NVDA pumps after earnings and throws SPY and QQQ into a +1.00% day tomorrow.
A few months ago a friend of mine went on a date and I asked him how it went He told me it went great and he helped her move I was like ??? Elaborate??? He told me he helped her move to her new apartment She used him as free manual labor and he thought it was a date LMAO QQQ 730C
SPY 0.10% and QQQ 0.22% movement all day is fucking ridiculous
I add all of the option contracts as prices to a watchlist and look at the price charts and trend lines for them. I primarily only trade QQQ, NVDA 1-2 month options usually holding for 1-3 days or 1-2 weeks into end of month, fridays, OPEX, etc. Soemthing like 80% of all QQQ option volume is \~1 week expiration. If you study price charts and technical analysis like everyone should. You will learn quite a lot from watching the contracts with the most volume specifically zero DTE contracts and if you’re familiar with your own trend lines. You also get the added of being able to export this OHLCV data from 1 second / 1m/5min/1H etc with your own trendlines to be able to build your own back testing scripts off of which is one of the most robust processes I have discovered. You can’t really find this anywhere else, but you can get live option prices for like $10 a month on trading view. The most volume is on the strikes $5 apart such as $700, $705, $710 for 0DTE or weeklies etc. I know my exact entries because I’m staring at them on a price chart and that’s what my decisions are based off of the actual prices and the volatility and the trend lines.
That SPY/QQQ pump and reversal on open was free money. Even my dumbass knew it. Bad report and SPY/Q’s pump? Okay bro.
QQQ is having a crazy day lmao
NVDA earnings either gives QQQ a +2% day tomorrow or we are sent back to the stone ages, bartering and raiding just to survive
Yall think QQQ pops back up to 712 or are we coasting till NVDA?
The red candles are looking rather large on QQQ 😳
Welp.. the QQQ touched 706.50 last night while I was asleep.. let’s see if it bounces there again today..
Everybody since the beginning of the year. SCHD and KO are both up a lot more than SPY and QQQ ytd
Market opens -- QQQ tosses "O Fortuna" on and buckles up

QQQ 720 EOW, 740 by mid-Sept

I sold META for 577 it went up $4. I bought QQQ and it went down $3. Tell me I’m not being watched.
QQQ is going to give us it's tribute to Dolly Parton - going from 709 to 705
to stay on the safe side, divide your pounds across these four ETF's, VOO, VTI, QQQ, SPY.. good luck
QQQ futures chart like a heart attack ECG/EKG.
With the business and credit cycle turning we are basically in for a lost decade. But after that we will get 15 years of bullrun again so loading the boat with 2x levered QQQ will be amazing.
QQQ prolly gonna go down -0.1% today and 80% of WSB will get liquidated from it :jpow: :kek: :kekh:
QQQ better be 730 by EOW… otherwise, I want my money back :kek:
If an HFT is buying, say, SPY shares, in quantities of millions of shares, long and short per second, which is what HFT does by definition - it will effect volume. There's absolutely no rule that says, for example, that an HFT firm can't buy and sell large quantities of SPY, IWM, or QQQ at a recent pivot, while an affiliate large trading outfit makes a contrarian bet as retailers get "Pavlov'd" and assume the vol spike means the pivot's in play again for a reversal. I see it constantly, SPY reaches a pivot in it's channel, vol spikes, price staggers for a few minutes and then drops more or continues it's rise beyond recent "key levels" as retailers call them. This direction likely hinges on retail order flow, if enough muppets are in cred spreads under the assumption a swing will reverse - liquidity sweep, welcome to the 97% of retailers who fail. Watching intraday volume is almost pointless now, 15 years ago it was a helpful indicator. And, yes, I've been trading that long. .
