QQQ

thunderman763

Your thesis is that because apple is at an all time high, it will go down? I mean eventually it will lmao, but how much more room does it have to rise. QQQ ran up for two whole months straight green days until we re-engaged in war. Do you really want to try and time the market because apple is at an ATH? How much loss can you stomach and double down on? You’re gonna end up like those koreans chasing the DRAM bottoms. What’s your counter-argument for apple rising because investors rotate capital from high-growth, high-valuation stocks into companies viewed as more stable. (i.e apple)

Not really, Im not worried about geopolitical events because of my portfolio. Crashes are by far the easiest way to make money. I am just not a fan of needless suffering and if I am right there will be a shit ton of it. In regards to my portfolio, If the shit I described happens, I will walk away rich. I made 25K by buying July 17th QQQ puts for $124 at close on Thursday and sold them for $624 on Friday after open, netting 500% gains and $25k in my pocket. And if I am off base with the bearishness and tomorrows magically green, I will do just fine profiting from that aswell.

Individual stocks have a tendency to drop significantly over time, go up, go down, last or vanish to 0 and shake so many people out. If I was advising my teenager, I would have them do 50% in voo 20% in Vt (total world including international) 15% in QQQ and then just randomly do the last 15% in a few different ETFs that he might have interest in like biotech, semis, health, sciences or insurance, etc. I would heavily discourage individual stocks unless he just wants to buy the mag seven or similar stalwarts and hold them forever. Individual stocks are the ones that weigh you down and you actually have to manage and they drawdown significantly in downturns. The ETS will get him rich by 50 if he just stays the course and keeps investing and doesn’t go in and out of the market. Broad picture advice encourage him to do ETF and not individual stocks unless it’s it one to 2% of his portfolio just for fun.

banditcleaner2

This was mostly my idea post 2022. If you think the makret is frothy, stay the course in QQQ or SPY because the opportunity cost of being wrong is too high. But if the market does crash then SPY will likely only be down 30% or so meanwhile many tech stocks will be down 50-70, so you can sell spy at a loss to rotate into the beaten down yet good companies. I suppose you could do something similar with TQQQ

Salty_Plate6543

VOO, QQQ, BRK, AMZN, GOOG are fine. IMO VOO should be larger even as a kid (foundational), woth the single stocks as satellites. The rest is a bit of  a meme portfolio which I guess is not surprising. I made some dumb single stock investments as a kid too, but it was a decent learning experience 🤷 Also does he understand expense ratios? There are cheaper momentums so you keep the gains vs paying the fund managers. Momentums are great for tilt but this one costs quite a bit. Also something I didn't learn as a kid, selling decision should be made before buying, or setting a stop loss. Guardrails on the gambling. Sometimes that turned into a pleasant surprise, but more often than not, followed all the way to zero. 

Malaphasis

I sold NVAX at $2, micron. recently bought Netflix and Space X.i think I'm up 4% in my account and QQQ is up al17% ytd. it's a dividend account so I'm ok with 4% and my free paychecks all the time.

You were probably going to get further decline regardless then because it had become clear that the Nasdaq was in distribution from late fall and there was "woe is me AI is not going to work out" going on (which is now going on again for the past 6-7 weeks). Maybe not a 9% drop by the SPX (probably at least 5-7%), but it had become clear by late Jan that a -10% by the Nasdaq was programmed even in a no-Iran world because QQQ kept being rejected at $627ish constantly.

SomePolack

I mean QQQ dropped like $50 recently any of those days a cheap 0DTE would’ve printed 

SomePolack

Nah what, shorting QQQ is insanely profitable if you time it right Shit can easily drop 2% while SPY won’t break 1% 

Ahamadrayasbaboon

Made me look.  I’m down 8% since my mostly SPMO/QQQ/VONG IRA peaked on 30Jun and 13% in my regard port since my 01Jun peak.  I hold some defensives and broader stuff, though.

What is that green spike on QQQ on hyperscaler?

Cruian

>10% developing (SPYM) Is SPYM in the UK different than SPYM in the US? In the US it is S&P 500, which is basically the furthest thing you can get from developing. >20% Nasdaq 100 (QQQM) On including QQQ(M): Remember this has heavy overlap (over 80% by count last I checked) with the S&P 500 or US total market. **Look only at the inclusion criteria, not past returns** (as they’re a terrible way to judge future returns, at least in the way most people tend to believe). Do they make sense to you? Does it make sense to over weight these stocks based on the inclusion criteria of the index? They don’t to me, I view it as complete nonsense.

HedgeMoney

Lets see, the opposite would be: You buy TQQQ until you start seeing a down turn, then shift to QQQ until TQQQ breaks even.... If you want to lose money, yeah, I'd make sense.

Friendly-Profit-8590

See what happens with the Kospi first. If the whole markets down then puts on indexes like SPY or QQQ or their related levered ETF’s would have cheaper premiums relative to SNDK. Of course if we go green the same holds true.

__redruM

Well I suppose some people learn better lessons from experience. At least score yourself against the ETFs. When you can’t equal what QQQ is returning swing trading, switch to ETFs. I made money day/swing trading as well, but it took a lot of time and stress, and I made more at my day job. The life changing money came from simple buy and hold ETF funds over the last 10 years.

KittenMcnugget123

These people are idiots, the articles youre reading make sense. You can just buy QQQ and "beat the market" over a decade if the market is the S&P 500. You can buy the S&P 500 and "beat the market" over a decade if the market is the total US market. You can just lever up risk to a certain point and "beat the market", but you're only beating it when its going up, youre also losing more when it goes down. You have to match the beta of your portfolio to the beta of the index and adjust accordingly to know if you actually generated alpha or if you just took on more risk

lil-beer-kuzi

We have not seen a true bear market in 17 years so it has felt like you do not need any risk management and stocks only go up. QQQ was negative for 16 years from its all time high in the early 2000s. That is a long time to miss out on gains if you just hold and chill index funds. Look up SGIIX mutual fund and it beats the sp500 since the 1970s very handily.

cheapdvds

Just because someone posted a chart doesn't make it right: "Yes, the chart is wrong (or at least highly misleading). portfolioslab.com The image shows TQQQ (red line) dramatically underperforming QQQ (black line) over the full period since ~1999, with TQQQ ending far below QQQ (roughly in the low tens of thousands vs. over $100k for QQQ). That's not accurate based on real/hypothetical performance data.Key Reasons Why It's Wrong:TQQQ launched in 2010 — any "since 1999" chart for TQQQ requires hypothetical backtesting (applying 3x daily Nasdaq-100 returns to the pre-2010 period). This is common but sensitive to exact methodology, fees, and rebalancing. Post-2009/2010 bull market dominance: The Nasdaq-100 (and QQQ) had one of the strongest sustained uptrends in history, driven by tech. This environment heavily favors leveraged ETFs like TQQQ despite volatility decay. Real data since TQQQ's inception shows it massively outperforming QQQ. averageannualreturn.com Recent performance examples (with dividends reinvested, approximate as of mid-2026):10 years: QQQ ~$10k → ~$60k–$70k (annualized ~19–21%). TQQQ ~$10k → ~$350k+ (annualized ~42–43%). averageannualreturn.com Since ~2010 inception: TQQQ has turned $10k into millions in many backtests/charts (often 20,000%+ total return vs. QQQ's ~1,000–1,500%). totalrealreturns.com"

Possible_Law8357

Sell puts on index funds QQQ/spy that you don't mind holding. Then sell covered calls if you are assigned. Read about options wheeling. Buying calls/puts feel like gambling to me.

Here's the play for the next 2 weeks. Every single day that we open green, buy 0dte QQQ puts.

Mairon1120

Most who follow LETFs would not advocate for unhedged buying of TQQQ or any other 3x leveraged ETF. Most instead would combine leveraged ETFs with uncorrelated (not necessarily negatively correlated) assets that limit exposure. For instance, backtesting for this exact same period with 50% TQQQ, 20% ZROZ, 15% GLD, and 15% DBMF, and annual rebalancing, yields leverage tech at 1.5x - 1.8x QQQ that also combines other assets (treasuries, gold, trend following managed futures) that have a positive total return over long periods and allow for rebalancing into these assets during a tech bull run. There will always be risk of treasuries or gold and tech moving in the same direction during a cash (uncorrelated is not negative correlation), but since 2000 strategies such as these backtest with returns approximating 2x QQQ with the same max drawdown, and better sortino and sharpe ratios than QQQ, even when including the dot com bubble and great financial crisis, among other market events. While nobody should hold only TQQQ alone, strategies using TQQQ or leveraged ETFs that, at least on a historical basis, give the holder a good opportunity to beat the benchmark on a longer term basis.

Nah never had 100k at one time. Kept borrowing over time. Maybe at one point had 35k. Looking back at my history, first option trade ever was 1 QQQ call. https://preview.redd.it/blxpl6sk41eh1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1b87b9c2f3dcead4e03cbfd7c291338d49c15dd

Kind of curious to see how my QQQ put opens on Monday. I was about to close it before the market closed on Friday, but those fragmented entries in that position totaling almost half a million really intrigued me.

PapaCharlie9

Oof, this is painful. I 100% agree with the point being made, but the way it is made, particularly with that super misleading chart, is so sus. * The chart is log scale, which exaggerates the red line decline while obfuscating the red line's recovery. If the 10k line is the middle line, 1k is the bottom, and 100k is the top, a decline from the middle to bottom line is only 9k, while a gain from the middle to top is 99k, huge difference! This makes the early decline of the red line look like it's much worse than it actually is, in comparison to the black line. Furthermore, when the redline recovers, it obfuscates that the recovery is 100x, whereas in the same timeframe, the black line only gains 10x. * This kind of chart is being criticized in comments for being start-time dependent and that moving the chart to various other start times, like 2010, would have a different result, which is correct. But the higher level point to make is that **all such charts are sensitive to start-time** and thus should be avoided altogether. Much better metrics, like rolling 5 or 15 year window averages, would average out the impact of start-time selection. I'm not able to go back to TQQQ inception with my free account, only to 2016, but according to portfoliovisualizer.com, the rolling 5 year annualized average return for QQQ vs. TQQQ was 19% vs. 32%.

amitenami

Damn this is a 840 pages book. Will look at it Thank you I am keeping my 401k regardless and not taking it off in any way, this is on top of that that I have in SPY, QQQ and other stocks, as well as options which led to this situation

__redruM

You’re learning the wrong lesson here. You can’t know when the top is in. You can’t time the market. You buy and hold long term. That way you will end up selling for a profit. Maybe switch to ETFs? I like VOO, QQQM, and maybe SMH. I’m: - 60% VOO - 30% QQQ - 8% SMH - 2% DRAM

sirzoop

QQQ is +15% since the US has attack Iran. Seems pretty bullish to me 🤔

PeterJan85

QQQ has the highest growth potential, but is the most volatile along with QQQM. I would stick with VTI rather than VTO if you’re going to put a small percentage in QQQ/QQQM because VOO has more overlap compared to VTI as it covers most of the market. You’re extremely young, which means you are in the best position to invest for the long run.

That research proves exactly the opposite: never trade options on leveraged ETFs. In every single case, you're far better off using QQQ instead.

sunnydays2121

Dumb comment. “People acting like geniuses because of what happened now”. No, you don’t need to be a genius, but as a trader you at least need to have situational awareness. Among other things that means: watching the indices (SPY/QQQ already started to chop in early June for example), watch the leading stocks, track sector rotation (plenty of other sectors that have been going up (healthcare, insurance, biotech) while high beta/tech has been getting crushed). The market gives feedback all the time. It’s important to know when to take the foot off the pedal and step back. You can’t always keep pressing hard, that’s how you blow up your account.

StoryAndAHalf

Probably put money in QQQ until you start seeing a downturn of a certain percentage, then shift to TQQQ until it QQQ breaks even.

drew-gen-x

$QQQ is barely holding on to support. Things could get nasty fast if these levels don't hold. I've done such a poor job trying to time the market this month that I moved everything to where my long term convictions lie. If this AI bubble pops than my big bets on Japan and Pacific Asia aren't gonna look very good. Maybe gold will bounce.

Various_Couple_764

This comment is based on the observation that individual investors rarely do better than the market The S&P500 is a substantial portion to he market but not all of it. So it is still possible that a different segment of the market would to better than the S&P500. So if you copy the S&P500 you cannot beat it. If you invest in different stocks you may beat it. But most likely you will not. QQQ does not invest in the S&P500 index. QQQ invest in the NASDAQ 100 index. S&P500 index is a very old index.NASDAQ 100 index is younger and since its creation the NASDAQ 100 has \\ performed better than the S&P500.

Got_Engineers

I think a bandage has to be pulled off by the market makers now that option expiration is over . The market is in a very vulnerable state despite volatility only just percolating today. Volatility was higher back in June despite the market being down more now. VIX expiration is next week so there’s a period of window dressing opportunity. VIX and VXN are above every single indicator and trend line that I track and sitting there on the 1H looking like a rocket ship about to launch into space: There was also a shit ton of put volume for next week, end of July and August OPEX. Like an unusual amount of volume on strike scattered all the way down to below $650 QQQ.
