QQQ

torqued8

Maybe you already knows but you got til 15 minutes after market close for options on the big tickers SPY, QQQ, etc.

TheGeoGod

I think my cat might be right! QQQ to 453!

No one can answer a person's risk tolerance. You should always have a diversified portfolio. I would definitely lean heavier into tech because of this (40%) spread out. If your not in tech, then you will miss the opportunity for big gains. However, no one should be 100% into tech because like I said, we will have winners and losers. If you need to go 100%, then do QQQ or something like that instead of individual companies. It's too early to pick winners and losers with the exception of the MAG7. The difference now is their balance sheets are ridiculous compared to dot com. Let's put this into perspective. CISCO who was the leader of the dot come at it's peak had a market cap of 500 billion and earned 4 billion in Net Income a year with about 4 billion in cash on it's balance sheet at peak. NVDA has 60 billion in cash with a 4.5 Trillion Market Cap. It could literally fail multiple generations and recover. NVDA had 70+ Billion in Net Income in 2025. The numbers are mind blowing. TLDR: Buy tech but don't try to pick winners. If you have to pick a winner, go MAG 7 route. Either way, increase leverage to tech with a balanced portfolio. Literally everything in the world uses some sort of tech and tech will only get bigger, better and faster. Unless we get hit with an EMP, lol.

Spy and QQQ will open at -2 % at this rate

fec2245

Wait, but is QQQ better than VOO?

djai50

Disney is a good pick, the rest of the stocks not so much… I would cut your losses and just DCA into SPY and QQQ.

SuspiciousStable9649

SPY, QQQ. Futes are relaxing.

Divinemango7

Sorry to bother folks, what would you say is a good sit and wait stock? like ten years waiting I mean. My brother reccomends QQQ, and I have done some of that one, but what else would you guys suggest?

Dude_HaHa

SPY to 200 QQQ to 150 Oil to $400 Gold to $10,000 TSLA to 0 MSFT to 50 GOOG to $20 AMZN to 40 AAPL to $500

BillAdministrative85

Depends what you’re after, high gains, stability, predictable (as much as you can)? What’s your risk tolerance? Lots of good funds like VOO, VTI, SPLG. Find a nice etf that you like and that people recommend and hold long term. I invest in gold/silver, VTI, QQQ, SPLG, VZLA,GLD, HWM, DRUG. Not stock advise just what I invest in.

MrUnbekanntovic

Fuck me I sold my 605 QQQ put before close

These World Stocks have had half their recent gains b/c they are/were a part of the short USD trade and half their growth due to repatriation of USD held abroad being invested back in their home economies. This trade was working great until Trump bombing Iran. Crude Oil is sold in USD so when crude oil prices go up then countries need more USD to buy the higher priced oil. The Asian Pacific area is mostly an energy importer not exporter so they get sucker punched again. With all that said I agree with you and I am in this trade and have been buying $EWY (South Korea) and $EWJ (Japan) for months now as I started buying $ACWX (World ex-US) this week. I believe we are in a new long term cycle where financials, industrials, and manufacturing outperform technology. The countries that started repatriating their USD and investing that capital back home are not going to stop due to recent events such as the Iran war. If anything they are going to be more convinced that they need to speed up that process. And these foreign economies are not as tech heavy as the US so they aren't investing the same high percentage of GDP on tech as the USA. The US markets (the $SPY and $QQQ) are indeed too tech heavy in market cap concentration and those that believe technology can't be replaced as market leaders haven't read history or studied cycles. With all that said a simple World ex US ETF doesn't have the US problem with market cap concentration in just a few stocks or sector so you wouldn't just have to bet on just the Asia Pacific economies. I would consider these recent events as an opportunity to buy although may be diversify and go 50% Asia Pacific, 50% World ex-US. I moved my 401K into a similar World ex-US mutual fund 6 months ago. My 401k really only had 1 option that wasn't US stocks and didn't offer World plus US. Now this is a riskier investment strategy as there will be more volatility as we are seeing these past 2 weeks. The US economy for all its faults and over reliance on tech is sheltered b/c the US economy is a net energy producer.

ecoburner87

the real moves happen in the overnight session because the US government isn't central planning the market to oblivion after 6pm QQQ/SPY pumping then going sideways for 2 days, it's a potemkin village (don't know what that means? look it up)

Chief-Sheed

QQQ to $575?

Vegetable_Push6542

QQQ -3% tomorrow no V just straight elevator down. Friday relief pump to create some buffer room then -7% circuit breaker on Monday.

NotRobotNFL

Oh, yeah my whole 401k is SQQQ and QQQ put exp in like 2 years, which is probably a terrible idea . I mean, I am young enough to start over

Lanky-Ad-4579

I have QQQ puts and USO calls

ThetaFarmingRegard

-3% QQQ red day tomorrow or I eat my shit jk i was gonna eat it anyway

Elegant_Primary_7133

That’s a logical play, but be careful index inclusions are usually the ultimate priced in events. By the time SpaceX actually hits the QQQ, the market makers will have already adjusted the long dated IV. You might be right about the volatility, but the IV crush immediately after the inclusion could eat your LEAPS before the move even happens.

Mean_Bumblebee1945

I have the feeling we will re visit the QQQ monday low where we bounced off the 200MA. Also for tonight I have a bad feeling.

TickTockTaudit

Whelp. I’ve got QQQ puts Thursday Friday Monday. Usually a bull. Pretending this is a hedge and pretending I’m not hoping I retire next week.

InternNo7510

for wheel traders the only events that actually matter are earnings dates, and maybe CPI/FOMC if you're running positions on SPY or QQQ. everything else is noise that makes you second-guess a perfectly good 30 delta CSP that has 3 weeks of extrinsic left.

NVDAismyg0d

QQQ up 0.00% since October 😍😍😍

PNWPlayZ

QQQ moved 4 cents from yesterdays close. TAKE THAT

peanuts-in-my-jelly

QQQ closing at 0% change 2 days in a row sure is *something*

UnivalveX

QQQ will NEVER fall below 600

Vegetable_Push6542

One fake bigly pump on QQQ to trigger stop losses before the limit down tomorrow everybody knows the rules

Vegetable_Push6542

Man this QQQ fake pump is so ghey. Tomorrow it will drill I am not worried.

Intelligent_Kick_436

$80K in SPY is about 117 shares, so you can wheel one contract. Just don't be greedy or scared; sell when the price floats up and then either let it expire and collect the premium or let you shares be called away. I do this with a handful of QQQ contracts, but it's hard to stay net positive because the USD is losing strength combined with international investors increasingly pulling out of the the US index funds (for obvious reasons). So I'll be selling a bit closer and a bit shorter timeframes until eventually it's called away, at which time I'll move it to a basket of iShare ex-US international funds and wheel those (hopefully for a bit more premium).

CharlieDirkDigler

In December of 2019 I went to Home Depot twice in one weekend to get plastic crates to put of my Christmas shit. Both times there were Chinese couples buy N95 masks by the boxes on those big orange flat shopping carts. I get the same feeling when I look at the QQQ options chains this past month.

ckami_91

Israel nukes Iran SPY & QQQ -.01%

whydouhatemecablegod

what if China gives Iran some of those fancy drone subs and an aircraft carrier gets promoted to submarine.. trick question, QQQ up 0.5% anyway

Glam34

QQQ puts at 607.5, calls at 606.2 there are levels of existence i am willing to accept

Vegetable_Push6542

QQQ ending green means +2% tomorrow and ATH end of next week

SoloOutdoor

September 29 QQQ was at this level

ecoburner87

QQQ won't go down, it completely refuses. just zoom out and look at the 15 min. chart, just this crazy zig zag gargantuan effort to make sure big tech gets a bid

ChickenYip

if QQQ breaks 605 I bet itll goto 604

TernTheNumbers

The bears were proven wrong about Oracle wasting money on datacenters that nobody wants. That's why QQQ is doing well.

drew-gen-x

I have a very small position in $ACWX but everyone keeps suggesting $VXUS for World ex-US ETF's. Is there really a difference before I start DCA into a World ex-US fund? The other would be the diff b/w $VT and $VTI? I'm looking for more of a split b/w World +US and a World ex-US allocation vs many 50/50 $SPY and $QQQ for my non-trading accounts.

Mean_Bumblebee1945

I literally wanna scream. WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY BUYING UP THE MARKET when they will let it drop with every single news tweet? What is suddenly so bullish about QQQ? What is the logic on pressing buy so hard when its getting downsold anyways?

Sweaty_Platypus69

Dow drilling 385 points but SPY/QQQ barely even moving.. lulz..

ChickenYip

QQQ up because Iran isnt targeting the nasdaq building !!

Foreign_Fun_7193

I liquidated my portfolio and focusing on one ticker at a time. Currently only looking at QQQ. Should be red tomorrow. Its how it usually goes on thursdays.

PinealTone

QQQ green..unbelievable 😅

PrismShutter

The weighting math is the thing people keep glossing over here. SpaceX at 3.5% of QQQ with realized vol in the 60-80 range sounds spooky until you realize the current top names already drag that average pretty hard. NVDA alone is 6% and it's not exactly a boring vol profile. The smarter angle is what you're already doing: lock in the low IV leaps now, before any IPO buzz gets priced into longer-dated vol. The inclusion window is where things get choppy, not steady-state. Post-inclusion, the effect probably fades fast as arbs flatten it out. That said, the delta replacement idea on QQQ with 2027-2028 expiry is solid regardless. SpaceX risk is a bonus thesis, not the whole trade.

ecoburner87

QQQ refuses to go down. there's nothing about the impending snarl-up of global supply chains, metal/mineral supply, and even the impact on global gdp/spending growth that seems to be much of a concern to all the $ piling into Big Tech and the makers of shiny things we buy and pay for

Perfect-Loquat-7791

SpaceX joining QQQ might not lift IV much, big moves often priced in early; a 1–2% rise could be optimistic.

BrokeDickRizz

QQQ green!

Creative-Package6213

Got off this wild ride today, sold my QQQ put debit spread to break even. Wasn't going to wait any longer for it to finally drop.

crossdefaults

Gee, I wonder if QQQ will fall to 595 and then rally to 600 for the 1 millionth time.

ecoburner87

insane strength in QQQ right now, it wants to stay up but is rolling over

mikehoochie1234

If QQQ goes back to 611 today that would be hilarious

botistic

$QQQ double bottom 🤞

Peresviet

It is genuinely a long term project. You want to take emotion out of investing as much as you are able. That IS difficult, I've had a lot of difficulty with it. Checking your account, daily, hourly, by minutes, doesn't help it grow. Make sure any high % interest debt is paid off, then DCA into a broad index ETF. Bonds are for older investor moving into complete defense mode. QQQ can easily rip 12% this year as it makes up for lost ground. It's okay for this to be hard, confusing, and an anxiety causing endeavor. The longer you invest for, in years and decades, the easier it becomes to mentally withstand the volatility. God I wish someone told me what I am telling you now when I was 20 haha

Creative-Package6213

Please let this dip further on the QQQ's!

Sweaty_Platypus69

QQQ should be going down more than SPY.. but here we are.. the other way round lol..

InternNo7510

market orders exist for exactly this reason. when the bid/ask is inverted or the spread is acting weird, a limit order just sits there doing nothing. next time throw a market order at it and you'll get filled at whatever the nbbo sorts out to, which on something as liquid as QQQ is gonna be pretty close to fair value anyway.

Vegetable_Push6542

How do I explain to my kids tonight that they gotta eat George Floyd banana mayonnaise sandwich cause I donated all the money I had to theta gang by buying QQQ calls today

Live-Invite-474

QQQ anyone 🤷‍♂️

Elforas_Tero

QQQ red is forbidden.

isitdonethen

Just a couple QQQ/SPY puts that expire end of month 

OSRSkarma

Ya i think thats fair, we usually have to be careful with tickers cause when i remove there is a chance it ends up in the abyss and i can’t bring it back Dont think losing WAR will matter, although i cant just put up AMD or QQQ… thats on you guys Spam that shit if you want idk

ToughVegetable2483

u/OSRSKarma can we take war off the ticker and add AMD or QQQ

CoughRock

plague => lockdown => every one buying useless sht on amazon => amazon and tech stock goes up => QQQ pump

CDulst

You think they are watching the QQQ and SPY charts in Iran rn? Threatening banks, tech, and oil, but not seeing that big clifford they are hoping for.

IndependentUsual7444

QQQ of all things goes up, why metals down?

UnivalveX

will QQQ ever drop below 600? (and not reverse within an hour)

InternNo7510

the assumption that spaceX's higher realized vol translates directly into higher QQQ implied vol is shakier than it sounds. QQQ vol is a weighted blend and at 3.5% weight, even if spaceX realizes at 80 vol, the math just doesn't move the needle much on the index level

CreepyBoysenberry281

QQQ looking like the exact same as yesterday pin flat at open and then shoot up 

ThoseGelInsertThings

Thanks. Last question: do you buy calls on SPY or QQQ or both?

According-Page8618

if spy is down more than QQQ on the previous day, for example right now Spy -0,3% and QQQ -0,2%, for some reason the only big red days we have is when mag7 sells off, which automatticaly means QQQ is down more. calls on open and hope

ThoseGelInsertThings

Do you mean just when SPY is down a lower percent than QQQ from the previous trading day?

Crazy_Donkies

QQQ is the oil hedge now.  

According-Page8618

my stragety is everytime SPY is lower than QQQ i buy calls on open and it moons

Foreign_Fun_7193

QQQ to 600

Beret888

I'm not sure how your concluding that QQQ vol will increase with SpaceX inclusion. I think its disastrous to bend the rules to allow this firstly its net negative for the indices holders because if they are that worried about the valuation that they need to offload it immediately to the passive flows then the reported 1.75 trillion valuation must be very very rich, your only hope would be that it does increase the vol because its likely that with inclusion at a higher value then it can support it will be negative to your leap position. Personally I don't think sector specific leaps are a good idea at the present eye watering valuations. Gravity is gonna catch up sooner or later....

Valuable_Sundae5737

QQQ's in the toilet. Flush'em.

ecoburner87

If you haven't been following the last day or so, Bessent and the Treasury are reportedly using our tax dollars to short oil futures. The correlation it has to DXY, while actively adding liquidity to the market, has been propping up QQQ/SPY and much of the market. The risk of our government manipulating futures, there are many, but the biggest is that they can be squeezed like anyone else.

ben1492

Talk me out of doing a 3DTE QQQ straddle every morning at 9:31 AM. Defined profit target and stop loss. Never hold beyond 9:31 AM the next trading day. Trade executes every day as long as the VXN 5 day moving average > 25.

mneymaker

So there is actually a chance where both my ORCL calls AND QQQ puts will print today? You can call me mr Market Engineering lmao

Glam34

Will my QQQ 616 cc expiring friday be safe?

ilikepizza2much

It’s basically QQQ. Performa the same, except the expense ratio is double!

Peresviet

Fear is overblown, money isn't going to dry up. Fed will keep injecting liquidity, Bank of Japan is dovish, USDJPY hasn't broken down this entire time. Fear caused flight into DXY, obviously the USD is still the worlds reserve currency. (sad times for brics). US Consumers keep spending, can't help themselves and US president will manipulate the market. If you want a better answer just look through these daily threads from a year ago, 2 years ago, etc. People saying that GOOG is worth no money, people saying QQQ will never hit 300 again (over double now), almost every single comment that's been doom and gloom would have lost you vast sums of money.

TruthLeading861

Optionsgonewild is the best. I joined their structured program and made a ton of money this last few weeks. Traded QQQ and made a lot. Last March - July was probably the best option trading I’ve seen. I made my most profits since I started trading back in 2002. This year so far is looking promising too.

mewantmillis

I was finally up after doing 0dte fro 2 weeks straight and I lost everything today when QQQ dumped during the afternoon. By everything , I mean all my profits. I’m back to even now. I got greedy today, What are some tips for suppressing your greed? :(

greyenlightenment

lol btc dump even as QQQ go up. this is why shorting btc way better as a hedge than buying oil.

TheRealArmament

Holy fuck I have 200k in QQQ and VOO and it’s done absolutely nothing this year. Fuck these boring ass ETFs

ResidentPack4103

Who had Orcle calls SPY calls QQQ Calls Nvda calls Amzn calls Baba calls Avgo calls IWM calls today at close? Congrats your a fucking genius

nvidia69420

Reee reee why did I sell my SPY/QQQ calls at close 😭

AdmirableJudgment784

I'm gonna let you in on a secret. At 9 in the morning of every trade day, watch QQQ or SPY until 10:00. If there is a sharp spike up or down, it tends to trend that way until around 11/12. Wait for it to dip or rise about a 50 cents or $1, respectively. Place your option bet in the opposite direction. So if it trends up, then call one price below the current. Sell around 10% percent. Try it. Don't trade again until the next day. Let me know how it goes.

#TLDR The AI hype is Dotcom Bubble 2.0. Tech giants and startups are burning billions in debt-fueled CAPEX on data centers and chips with massive P/E ratios and little to no proof of actual profitability. Furthermore, the physical energy infrastructure (like nuclear power plants) needed to sustain this massive AI grid is up to a decade away. Once private equity liquidity dries up or investors realize the promised ROI isn't materializing, a violent tech correction is inevitable. --- Ticker: QQQ / VIX Direction: Down (Tech) / Up (Volatility) Prognosis: QQQ $600 Puts and VIX 35/40 & 45/50 Call Debit Spreads Catalyst: Investors realizing ChatGPT can't pay the electricity bill Vibe check: March 2000 Panic Selling
