QQQ calls Monday

katrav86

wow.. these MU 260 naked puts are going to expire worthless next week SPY 700 QQQ 750

BagHoldersOfAmerica

As a precious metal guy I'm happy this year but would love to see Space have the same rally as that really is the final frontier. Also QQQ 700. The future is now. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

austin5549

Just put your money into a ROTH and do $QQQ, and max out your 401(k) moving forward. I’ve lost way more than you and it sucks. I’m done day trading. It’s a losing situation.

sudharsansai

Lol QQQ ending the day negative is peak trolling

Odd-Block-2998

I sold 4 OTM puts to catch up. Not going to close my short position easily. I still have 2 QQQ naked 475C expiring next year.

I recently fired / was fired from EJ. I inherited a small account with SPIAX, which the original purchaser paid a 5% load for and I was paying a 0.58% annual fee for.  The advisor pitched moving into QQQ fund (which would have outperformed SPIAX) with the funds and their new 1% aum fee or 2% per trade (etc). I just let SPIAX drip for 4 years.  Finally, he wasn't making money from me, so he transferred me to national to do anything. he fired me. That's right, I have to talk to someone I've never met to manage my money at a firm that is pitching a personal relationship. Well, now I moved the SPIAX to Fidelity next to a 401k and Cash Sweep plan, now it'll DRIP into FZROX, saving .58% a year, and reduce the number of tax forms I file. The kicker, fidelity has a free advisor that is close to where I live for the basics.

Seattleman1955

More nonsense but to put it into perspective, I've owned QQQ for 25 years or so and my return is about 1,400%.

shotparrot

Tech. Like QQQ and its variants. Duh.

nicolas_06

Ask yourself what is QQQ... It's invest on stocks that are on that specific stock exchange and not financial. That's doesn't represent anything clear or fixed. To me one should follow an index just because it performed well in the past. You should believe in what that index represent and QQQ isn't representative of anything.

Physical property. I did this a few years ago when I lost a lot of QQQ monthly options and I bought a lightly used Hellcat with the remainder of my portfolio money. Sold it a couple years later for a 20% profit.

Last time precious metals had this type of volume....October 9th. What happened Oct 10th? Orange idiot tweeted about China tariffs, causing a flash crash in Crypto, and SPY shit the bed like 2.5% or something like that...think the QQQ's were closer to being down 4%..Was pretty much one of the worst days in the stock market of the year, and really fucked a bunch of stuff up on the crypto front. This is when liquidity issues started to become a problem...it was all OCT 10th that caused this shit. Are we in for another "oh fuck" moment come monday? Stay tuned for the next episode of "How fucked am I this time"

I dont know if I have ever witnessed SPY/QQQ volume this slow

Impressive-Mud-3362

All my homes hate over priced QQQ

DaZarius_Spokes

Definitely hard sell, and hard to get your money back. But it you put some time and effort into learning their methods you might get it back. Its more for daytraders than for swing trading even though they do supposedly have a SwingTrade AI feature. This is not a good site or deal for beginers who are buy-and-hold types. Save your money and just buy the 40% $SPY 40% $QQQ 20% $TIP etf portfolio. I admit it, I fell for the marketing, and didnt have the time to make it work.

SAG2025

That’s the difference between buying the ETF and creating your own portfolio “ETF.” You have to do your own research and pick your own stocks and try to beat the market. If you can beat the ETFs SPY and/or QQQ then you will be making great money; otherwise you will be underperforming and wishing you had bought the ETF’s instead. Remember, what you just did was based on published hindsight performance, In other words, by taking advantage of all the work/research the ETF’s Portfolio Managers did to put that ETF together. If it was that easy everyone would be beating the market. By the way, that’s what I did these past three cyclical bull market with my portfolio: FY23 was up 161%, FY24 up 96%, and this year FY25 up 114%. Let’s see how I do next year FY26, but only if we are in a bull market. Happy trading everyone!

Sad_Ambassador_7739

that's pretty much just QQQ

Ok-Proposal6598

For having started in June, you're doing very well. Clearly, PLTR and NVDA have significantly boosted your portfolio; both have had an incredible year. The good: BRK.B as a value anchor is smart. Buffett isn't going to make you rich overnight, but he's not going to ruin you either. XLV gives you defensive exposure to healthcare. When tech falls, this will cushion the blow somewhat. The big tech companies (GOOGL, MSFT) are quality companies with real moats. Observations: PLTR at 23% is a lot of concentration in a stock that can move 10% in a day. It's risen like crazy, but it could also correct sharply. Consider not adding more for now and let your other positions grow. QQQ has much of what you already own (NVDA, GOOGL, MSFT). It's somewhat redundant, but not terrible. Your actual exposure to tech is probably 70%+ of your portfolio. It works when tech is rising, but it hurts when it corrects. What's missing: something international. Everything is US-based. Overall you're doing well, just be careful not to keep focusing on PLTR.

Dad gave me 5k for Christmas. Going straight into 0dte QQQ calls at open. Easy flip 10k

jauch888888

Cool list, but let's add some context: Most of these are either: Sector bets (gold, silver, copper miners) -extremely cyclical and volatile. They crushed it in 2025, but check their 3-year or 5-year returns. Many were deep red before this run. - Leveraged/niche plays** (3X miners, thematic ARK funds) high risk, high reward. ARKK was down -67% from peak to 2022. One good year doesn't erase that. International diversification (EZU, VEA, EEM) - these lagged the S&P for a decade. They're finally having their moment, but that's mean reversion, not sustained outperformance. The real takeaway: You can beat SPY/QQQ... if you pick the right sector at the right time. But that requires timing and luck. Most people who chase last year's winners end up buying high. Boring truth:A diversified portfolio (like VT, XEQT, or even just SPY) won't top this list in any single year, but it'll keep you invested through all market cycles without trying to predict which sector pops next.

Strong_Duty6333

You can try trading / holding shares. I got burnt on options badly earlier this month. Lost 6-7% of my trading capital. But then last week I got it all back just trading / holding shares overnight (LUNR and ACHR). The options which got me bad were QQQ options. Never again!

Zuko2001

I need tomorrow to be +1% on QQQ, pls don’t let theta gang win🙏

kudrat1

QQQ increased 10 times in last 12 years. If you reinvested dividends time would be 10 years. So doubling in 7-10 years is very pessimistic. Put it in tech sector etfs and you earn your money back in 2-3 years as AI boom is just starting

Rotate back into QQQ please.

ingothelingo

Compare QQQ with KWEB for last 10yr - assuming Baba, Tencent, Baidu, JD and the rest of Chinese Tech are fully engaged in AI development, so much to catch up to in valuations // assumption: no China invasion in Taiwan, no trade war total escalation between China vs US // long term: think of US led by any other than orange head

Wrong-Bell437

I bought back in a lot of short volatility positions, both calls and puts. I still have some short calls and puts on that are in names with decent vol that are longer term positions for portfolio management of the underlying equity book, but I'm more than hedged out on the downside with long puts on the SPY and QQQ.

czechchequechecker

No idea what VT is, I'm from Europe. We don't have these QQQ and all that.

Abject-Shopping-4492

I would wait to see how much we go up between now and the 2nd trading day of January that is the Santa Claus Rally. You may get a bounce up on some of these. If you list them for me again here I will look at the charts tomorrow. Keep in mind you never want everything in one area and bitcoin is very volatile. I am bullish on AI Energy myself and AI in general and the ETF for that is IGV but I bought it at 85 and I think it is too high now. I also think SPY, QQQ are too high. The buy on SPY was on pullback to 650 and now it is back up at 690. If you dollar cost average you put a set amount each month and no timing. Make sense? VOO is a van guard fund for investing do research. Listen to a show. Tfnn.com is a good site and TTG on you tube is good Sunday night. good luck

NVDAismyg0d

Tomorrow is a 1.4% melt up on QQQ confirmed. Then on Monday it will go up 0.5% hit ATH and then immediately sell off and we chop around at ATH. Algos are not slick, I know what will happen. 

HugeAd5056

I agree to disagree on this. I’ve done the math. If you worked with real numbers instead of hypotheticals we might be having a different look at this (i.e. current cost of long term puts you’re suggesting on Russell or that DOW actually drops more than QQQ other than when the UNH drop shocked the index as compared with how cheap SQQQ calls actually are).

yes2matt

Why not dailies on QQQ?

fwiw I lost close to $50k several years ago playing w options and spent months feelign depressed about it, I don't think there's a great way to 'get over it' besides time and healing. If your loved oneas are healthy and you have steady emplyment you are richer than most. Stick to buying VOO, QQQ, etc and no more options.

BGM1988

You are still young and payed learning money. See it as an expensive lesson and now continue to invest the bogle way! My strategy is stay in QQQ and when i see an opportunity ill swap to something else for a small percentage of my portfolio.

raisedeyebrow4891

37k isn’t a meaningful amount of money to almost 40. The best way to recover your losses to a full port into the longest possible LEAPs on a SPY or QQQ or both. If the US economy collapses, you’re fucked. If it doesn’t you are fucking rich. 🤑 DYOR

Mountain_Fig_9253

That’s not the worst advice. Maybe split three ways between SPY, QQQ and GLD.

kwmi83

Dollar cost average into QQQ. don’t trade options.

not-irresponsible

you have 37k more. Buy LEAP options on QQQ or SPY and make it back

Sad_Opportunity_7816

Slap the remaining money into QQQ and SPX long only and forget about trading. It aint for everyone. You will recover that money in 3 or 5 years

Artistic_Culture7576

VOO and chill, you would forget this in a few years. PS. Maybe add some QQQ in there.

Abject-Shopping-4492

That was a big mistake as even though bitcoin will eventually go to 125000, not all of the tickers will move at the same time. Bitcoin has separate categories, you have the miners as one category. Then you have a grouping that includes COiN MSTR. You should never hold ETF’s which are 2 and 3 times for longer term as they are not a good vehicle for that but are good when you expect a momentum move for a day trade. It is important to learn and to diversify the portfolio into different areas. As an example. I have some QQQ and some SPY and some IGV all ETF’ and I dollar value average at a 40/30/20 percent and I keep ten percent cash for a major pullback buy like when we tanked in October. I rebalance based on quarterly basis to help PRCL enrages about the same. This is in an IRA account. If it was in an account with taxes I do not make changes unless I have held for over a year. On Bitcoin, I still think it can test 75000 and it really needs to get back over 90000 to be bullish. We will see what happens. I do not buy Bitcoin but rather trade miners and other related tickers like CLSK, CORZ, CIFR, HOOD and others in Bitcoin strength. Also it is common for a stock even bullish in an uptrend to pullback 30 percent before moving higher as nothing goes straight up.

Butter_with_Salt

I've been seeing QQQ commercials for 5 years or so...same logic there?

Ashamed_Distance_144

No one ever lost money taking gains. At the minimum, take your initial investment out and throw it in QQQ or S&P then let the rest ride if you want. If it was me, I’d just take the W and throw it all in an index but that’s not WSB style. That’d be buying 0DTE spy puts and calls.

crazybutthole

for me - i have a momentum trading account where when i decide to buy a position i just buy enough shares that its about 3% of my portfolio. then if i was right and it starts to increase in value i buy a bit more (maybe 1% each day) over the course of the next few days but i stop when i get to 6% of my portfolio then i stop buying and set stop limits (up and down) so for me a full poisition is 6% and then i watch it. and update my stop limits every day or every few days. as long as it keeps rising.....i might hold for a bit but if it loses momentum - then i sell it and start looking for the next one to jump on. (i might hold as much as 10-12 positions at any time and rotate the rest of my money in that portfolio between VTI QQQ VOO and BOXX in vraious weighting as needed)

Electronic-Buyer-468

I feel like you're still missing my point though. I understand what you're saying that hedges are definitely needed, and absolutely you're hedge should be relevant to what you're long on. BUT there is a better way to do it. If my portfolio was mostly commodities, then SQQQ might possibly work in super small doses at super small intervals. If my portfolio is mostly S&P and Nasdaq funds, any time I use SQQQ I am effectively cancelling out and wasting my capital in both directions by taking 2 sides of the same bet. The other issue is the fact that QQQ is a ridiculously strong index over it's entire history. Why not bet against something like Dow Jones or Russell 2000 instead? Just to give a very simplified and common index. In reality you'd want to do some actual deep dives into high liquidity funds that track similarly to assets you're already invested in, yet typically perform worse. You just have to sort some screeners by AUM, and start plugging in side-by-side charts on Tradingview or StockAnalysis.... super simple. There are a bunch of trash funds out there just waiting to be shorted, use those! Not SQQQ! It's only saving grace is it's super high liquidity. It's great for a day trade trip where you need to let's say get in at 11PM and get out at 5 AM lol. To hedge an options trade, or something like. But anything else, holding more than a couple of days? Bad idea.

1. Get a birds-eye view of the company. What does the company do? How do they make their money? What sector are they in? Tailwinds/headwinds in the industry? Who is the CEO? What is current sentiment? What direction is the business going and what stage in the business cycle is it at currently? 2. Look a little deeper into the fundamentals of the stock. I personally look at: market cap, revenue growth, profit margin, margin growth, book value, forward PE, EPS, debt, FCF, revenue/margins of each of the business’ market sectors (ie Amazon’s retail financials and their AWS financials). I am personally looking for two things here — 1, proof of growth potential and 2, disqualification. If any of these numbers are red flags based on my understanding established in the first step, I move on or dig deeper depending on the company. Basically, you want to see profitability, growth potential, and the ability to survive if something goes wrong. 3. Look below the hood. This can often tell you more than anything else. Are there share buybacks going on? What is the dividend history? What is the short ratio? What level of institutional investment is there? What are industry analysts’ price targets? Are there any catalysts on the horizon? Potential regulatory hurdles? Is the industry faring well? Who are the primary competitors? What is the company’s position in the industry? How can they grow/maintain market share? Who are the business’ customers? Are they stable? Is there a backlog? What about their suppliers? Are they sensitive to interest rates, commodity prices, consumer sentiment, etc.? Is their success dependent on another company? Is a M&A angle in play? What ETFs are the company included in, how is the fund performing, and will it be added to the DJIA/S&P500/QQQ etc. in the near future? 4. Look at the stock’s price. Compare to 52w high and low. Compare to ATH & ATL. Look at volume patterns. See if there is a base of support in the chart or resistance spots. Compare to the chart of similar companies. Compare to the S&P500. Looking for momentum & support levels; I’m a believer in time in the market, so this step is primarily to determine position sizing, if I’ll be DCAing or lump buying, etc. 5. Check out different sources to see if anyone has information you missed. I personally start on Reddit, then use some combination of YouTube, Yahoo! Finance, Morningstar, Moody’s, IBD, Bloomberg, WSJ, & CNBC. 6. Look at your portfolio. How would this stock change its composition? Does it improve your expected returns? Add/reduce volatility? Affect the Sharpe ratio? What sizing should you use? Does it improve diversification? Is it redundant? What is the r/r to adding it? What is the opportunity cost of tying up money in this stock? 7. At this point, you should have a really solid feel for the business. You should know whether you want to buy or not. If you do, pull the trigger now. You have done the research. Trust yourself. If you don’t, put it on the watchlist, and note why you didn’t buy. If something materially changes, it may become a good investment. 8. Come up with your thesis. Why are you buying, what are the exit strategies, what will you do to mitigate risk. Plan for a worst case, best case, and base case scenario. None of this requires advanced quant analysis, specialized data or tools, or anything more than about an hour of your time. I research 2-3 stocks per day. I have a running list of 1000+ stocks sorted by industry & market cap within the industry. I only launch this process if I want to buy. It’s worked well for me. You don’t need to spend too much time on any one step, but unsatisfactory results for any of the steps disqualifies it from investment in my strategy. You should at least consider each of the factors I’ve listed, though you don’t have to go down the list like a checklist. Use your brain, not your heart. Most importantly, write things down. Anything you feel may be important. Start a fresh sheet of paper/new document for your notes and findings while you’re researching each stock and then save it in a folder regardless of if you buy or not. You’ll very quickly build up a reference library of DD that you can return to for many reasons. Perhaps to invest in the future if the situation changes, perhaps to look back at successes and see what led to the success, perhaps to look back and see where you erred in logic if a stock doesn’t meet your expectations. Information is power. The more you do this (and not rely on others) the more confident you’ll be in your ability to analyze a stock. I’m at the point where I don’t really care what anyone else says about a stock if I’ve researched it and formed an opinion. I trust my ability more than anyone else’s, and you will too. Trust me. Dm if you’d like more info/guidance

nicolas_06

I would say if you are into QQQ that you are in some myth. Stock being on a given stock exchange and not banks/insurance isn't something that make much sense. From all we know NASDAC might have far less tech stocks in a few years or the NASDAC stock exchange could even disappear completely.

Worried_Quarter469

QQQ’s percent change on December 26, 2024 (measured close-to-close vs. the prior trading day) was -0.07%.

Iunatic

Qyld is the one that advertises a higher yield right? They probably sell at the money calls, which give a higher yield but fuck your recovery. So CC funds cap your upside while not really doing anything to protect your downside. So in a recovery qyld will do much worse than something like JEPQ where they are selling further OTM so they can somewhat recover. Both are by far worse than just holding QQQ though, and a trap to noob retail investors and those who failed Algebra.

HugeAd5056

You make a good point. I don’t really think SQQQ is a sustainable pick either though… just a direct hedge against QQQ in case of actual disaster. My logic is based on what happened in April. SQQQ more than doubled when QQQ and SPY only dropped 20%… and I only say “only” in reference to the fact that this is a 1:5 hedge (20% vs 100% price moves). So if I had $100,000 on QQQ and I put $10,000 on SQQQ, I wouldn’t be fully hedged, but if the market tanked on some really unexpected/bad news, I wouldn’t be hurting either. Now I wouldn’t really do that technically, because I’m not investing in that scale (about half that scale, really) and secondly what I would do is buy a call on it so I can get disproportionate returns if things suddenly went terrible while having minimal exposure to the underlying decaying as it usually does. So in this sense, it’s a very practical hedge that hopefully was never needed.

Iunatic

They invest in QQQ/SPY and sell OTM covered calls

Electronic-Buyer-468

Why SQQQ when there are so many weaker tech assets to target? QQQ is historically one of the worst assets to bet against in the financial world.  I'd advise you to research into all of the underperforming funds out there compare them against the indexes, and use the ones that are perpetually worse off and/or more volatile and target those for shorts/puts. Definitely not SQQQ though.  We tend to over complicate some things in this game, but once you take a few steps back you can see the bigger pictures a bit better. The best funds are long in alot of good assets and short in a lot of poor assets. In the end, you're eventually going to win the majority of the trades in both directions. But you will lose 99% of your funds against Nasdaq about 99% of the time. So why try finding that 1% ?  This is all coming from a former degenerate crayon eating perma bear BTW. Haha. Not a VT & chill perpetual bull boomer

DorianSoundscapes

Bro seriously, like the fucking value investing people pumping NOVO and shitting on RKLB or the Bogleheads wringing their hands over VT vs VTI and ranting about how QQQ is totally a waste of money over QQQM and then they have a seizure if you mention selling covered calls. Bruh. I will take the brotherhood of the all the gooning autists losing all their money on 0DTEs and full porting meme stocks over the self-important mediocrity of boomer index chumps any day of the week. This is by far the best investing sub in terms of humor, actually good stock pics and info (gotta be selective there is some ridiculous shit too) and helpfulness and lack of gate-keeping.

__redruM

> I have already lost 100k back in 2021 As an exercise, what happened if that 100k went into QQQ and VOO instead? That could be over 250k right now, with the next 90k, you’d be on your way up over 400-500k in another couple years. Stop gambling, start investing.

I would stick with SPY or QQQ shares, or LEAP options if you must. Good luck.

gokinetic

Dude... what ?? Fellow SMH wheeler here. You're essentially building a complex machine to light money on fire: * **SQQQ is a** ***daily reset*** **leveraged ETF** that suffers from beta slippage (volatility decay) so holding long-term deep ITM calls guarantee you'll bleed value over time even if the market stays flat. It's not a hedge, it's a leak * **SMH and QQQ are highly correlated.** By holding a massive SQQQ position, you neutralize your own Wheel. You cap upside when the market rips, but still pay to hold that decay Stop over-engineering this. If you're worried about a crash, just slice some of your premium to buy a cheap OTM put on QQQ.
