Betting against QQQ has gotten me into so much trouble. It’s like not believing in Santa clause.

Yields found down and Brent futures, QQQ CALLS AT OPEEEEN
ofc my QQQ 745 0dtes expired worthless yesterday
In 2025 my portfolio was also down 50%. But, I understood it was temporary due to political reasons so I just kept averaging down. I knew the companies I bought were good companies so I didn’t sell. Fast forward to 2026, those exact same positions have MASSIVELY outperformed the SnP and QQQ since I bought these stocks. The lesson is this: “If you don’t understand businesses, and if you can’t handle seeing your stock go down 50% or more, you shouldn’t be buying individual stocks” Warren Buffet
I built a small free tool and would appreciate feedback from people who hold multiple ETFs. It opens up each fund and adds everything together, so you can see your true exposure to individual companies, how much your funds overlap, and your real sector/country/currency split. For example, VOO + QQQ + a target-date fund can turn $6k of direct Nvidia into about $13.7k of actual exposure. Early demo with an example portfolio: https://tryunderlay.netlify.app Main question: is this useful to you, and what would you want it to show that it doesn't?
With stagflation Tech stocks are actually the only way for smart money to shield from it. This is why QQQ is near ATH while yields are going to the moon.
I mean what's new but QQQ is near ATH
To be fair as an EU citizen he's literally not allowed to buy shares of US ETFs. Options are allowed though. Still, he should have bought QQQ calls instead.
QQQ running on so low volume that if we all coordinate to full port it, we would be at a new ATH
Sell all 30000. Save that 962K while you can. Buy SPY, VOO, IVV, XLK, QQQ, SMH. Don't open your portfolio next one year. Thank me after 1 year.
First good work. Second, appreciate the self reflection and being civil on some tough feedback you got from this thread. Seems like you genuinely want to learn and build a more repeatable and consistent process. You still have all of Q4 to adjust. start with risk management like sizing, risk/reward, exit/entry rules and track margin allocation, etc. once you keep repeating this over time, it will become mechanical to you. Then track returns over weekly, monthly etc, and make sure you’re tracking the right metrics. Also, make sure you don’t have a correlation risk. You can check your beta weighting against QQQ or SPY to see if how much would your portfolio gets impacted for every 1% move into those indexes. Your broker will increase your margin requirements in a swan event and will liquidate/margin call. Goal is capital preservation.

TQQQ calls does not have a lot of people in it. QQQ calls might be the way to go or go directly into TQQQ.
Could’ve just bet QQQ and SPY
Totally, say you need $7K per month, (84K a year, 22% fed bracket, no state tax, nets you $65,520) & you sell 20-25 delta OTM, you will need about 6000-6500 shares of stonk. Take QQQ as example, Oct 31 $795c gets you $1.43 Just need $4.823M to acquire 6500 shares. You can find cheaper shares but prem would probably be lower.
NDX is to SPX what QQQ is to SPY and NQ is to ES. Volatility cuts both ways, but it does make for some cool reddit gains.
Agreed, but again, im talking about pure Yolo degenerate 0dte. Not responsible trading strats lol. I see people dumping 10k, 20k on random spy or qqq 0dtes, and wonder why Noone does it on ES or NQ. Especially as NQ will easily move 100pts in a couple minutes fairly often any more. On a spike or drop like that on NQ, QQQ options will usually not return the same % move in that time frame, at least not that I have seen
Because people here on WallStreetBets are regarded lol. But I agree with you. I lost a bunch last year trading SPY/QQQ 0DTE. But this year I trade only ES/MES and finally became profitable.
i don’t get it. QQQ was printing today
Most that talk about this are just doing an enhancement to their BUY AND HOLD of stocks , usually but not always as a CSP. Nothing wrong with that , but that is not really an income strategy. You will end up bag holding stock. The way that Tasty and now LossDog pushed this was by Selling Naked Puts using Buying Power in an approved Margin Account . The difference between a Csp and Naked Puts with BP is the following. A $200 strike as a Csp requires 20k, as a Naked Put in a Margin Account 2k-3k BP. There is a difference in leverage. If you are always willing to take assignment (because you are an ethical trader) then you will tie up your capital in stocks. If you are just Sellings Puts for premium, try to close early or roll and never take assignment. When assigned you sell the stock and take the loss and move on. I guess that makes you an unethical trader. Me I am in it for the money, not ethics. The wheel is great if you have 2 million in capital and are willing to put it in stocks. Just Selling Puts still requires bucks, since you have to keep over half of your capital dry in case your puts get in trouble. So no , I think if you are looking for 100k a year you will need over 500k in capital. For 100k you could do 5-10 Puts a month and even that might be close. At $100-$300 profit for each trade you see the limitations. I am talking about decent Puts in stuff like QQQ and SPY bringing in 300-600 in premium and maybe you keep half.
QQQ is expected to go up over time, isn’t it that simple v
Can someone who understands options better than me explain why there's such an insane pricing difference in Dec 31 QQQ calls and puts? Calls are orders of magnitude more expensive than puts. For example, a 700p costs far less than even a much lower delta/further otm call such as a 780c. What is happening here? A collar seems like free money for some reason? Why?
I tried wheeling QQQ, I'm just long term investor now. The growth is insane.
SPY and QQQ has been crap for the past few months. I should've just bought more stable stuff like 🌽
If it did, QQQ would not be anywhere near ATH.
QQQ never going down again
So does anyone know why QQQ jumped $5 in 5 seconds at 1? Anyone? Anyone??
If you bought QQQ on June 1st, here's how much money you would have today

Why so much 0dte QQQ? You need help and understanding of theta, and options…my god
I’ve got a bunch of QQQ Monday calls
Active trading usually leads to losses. Just do Voo or QQQ.
thats so retraded because.. QQQ Calls would actually do way better than TQQQ calls
I don't understand why why'd buy options on TQQQ. It's just the price of QQQ plus volatility drag
Everyone knows SPY & QQQ is going to rip a new hole in the ceiling tomorrow right?
Imo crypto is both super risky and doesn't offer you anything while you're holding it. Many equities pay you to park cash there while it (hopefully) accrues value. I like RKLB as a company, they're genuinely one of the best in the business, but as a stock I'm struggling to understand it's proper valuation. In the last year its been as low as $40 a share and as high as $143 a share so clearly the market is also unsure lol If I were you, I'd put some cash in a low cost etf like VOO or QQQ and just let it slowly gain value while you enjoy dividend payments too. You could also put some into an etf and let the rest ride with RKLB.
Is buying QQQ shares and selling short dated covered calls on them a good idea? Or does this strategy always loose to buy-and-hold?
Tqqq shares, QQQI shares, and QQQ calls. My entire portfolio and trading strategy

QQQ has returned \~20% annually for past 15 years. Vast majority of pros have not been able to beat that performs including buffet, bill ackman, etc. Trying to time the market is already a bad idea and betting against qqq makes it even worse. Only regards like Burry is allowed to bet against QQQ because you know he was right once 2 decades ago. He probably underperformed QQQ the last 15 years also but "AI bubble" right? =D
:popcorn: depends on yields. If yields don't spike overnight = green day tomorrow. Last night we were about to have a green day (everything was green. QQQ was +1.4%), then yields spiked from 5.27% to 5.34% in just 30 minutes, which caused a mass sell off very early in the morning.
QQQ was coiling like an anaconda waiting to strike, coincidentally what P Diddy calls his favorite toy

I can't believe it, my 50 QQQ Calls 0 DTE -20k waiting for a miracle just recovered with some profit!
QQQ what the fuck lmao
Tarnished. I am the Maiden of Dragons, and I bear a message from my Dragon Lord, KMI. Art thou red? Did the midnight market makers, infidels all, deceive thee, whispering that QQQ would breach $750 and carry thee unto the moon? Didst thou believe the 14 lies of VIX? Did you Lord SPY betrayed you? Then come, Tarnished. Avail yourself from the grace of KMI, Antivolatility Dragon, king among infidels. Take up thy calls. The Dragon shall ascend to $36 after earnings calls. You're been forewarned.
Im not even a permabull and this is retarded, QQQ is down 0.19%, bears are even more delusional
Bessent has to keep pushing the yields/oil down. If he's successful doing that, we could see the market melting up until EOW or EOW next week (which means reaching ATH soon). QQQ reached 750 (ATH) in the overnight session, so I wouldn't doubt it if it gets there again soon.
I have a strong feeling that QQQ will end exactly at 0% today
This chop is not fun! Cmon QQQ, quit cucking me
Always funny when QQQ drops like 1 dollar and then suddenly you start hearing "THAT WAS THE TOP IT'S ALL OVER" unironically
I’m just scalping QQQ right now.
I’m annoyed because it keeps going against my 0DTE QQQ options and fucking my value lol

Got some 10k cash hanging for a while. Stay cash or buy QQQ?

QQQ down a whole -0.22%. Stop the presses
Just get QQQ back to 700 at the very least
Feeling good about the 10/9 750 QQQ call i sold yesterday. Good luck idiot.
Sure they are going to keep SPY and QQQ almost flat today as usual
QQQ will rise or fall on SOXX as well. Everything hinges on the ai capex/buildout.
QQQ will break 750 today, I just yoloed all my money into it
Is what I would say when I’m selling QQQ Calls
A lot of people saying QQQ calls in here….too many :eyesquint:
wtf just happened QQQ was up 1.4%
TLT going to gap down 1% and QQQ is still big green lmao. The stock market is driving full speed to a cliff
QQQ pls go 730 today save my puts
Oil futures AND QQQ/VOO are up premarket. TLT puts all the way
I need QQQ to be 730 today or I'm cooked
R u joking? QQQ BEEN UP SINCE FOMC
QQQ big 3% day thank you for your attention
Says QQQ hit 52 week high at midnight
QQQ just slowly chugging up, not big but consistently in the last few days. Not too much at once to upset the bers
Last thing I’ll say about universities Think about whatever amount you paid for tuition & materials over the four or five (best regards!) spent earning your degree If you put that money in QQQ, would you be better or worse off❓ It’s crazy that in 2026 the return on a degree is likely much lower, especially if you don’t immediately land a job Anyways, I’ll stop being a Debbie Downer now Gotta make brekkie & prepare a morale boosting presentation in the wake of forced headcount reduction Best of luck with your trades, regards 👋
Uptober means DXY and yields will soon crash, fueling the last risk-on leg up of this 18 year cycle resulting in a short but sweet altseason and at a minimum +10% run on QQQ.
