So last PCE report came out, QQQ jumped $6 overnight, look at Oct 28th chart.
Thanks! We shall see. I’m not sold on a rally but I do think that there will be some volatility and QQQ will go up more than SPY. SPY is almost at the 200 wk MA, so SPY will definitely start coming down in a couple of weeks.
Best trade to take now is QQQ calls into end of year, tech will outperform, Dow/Bank stocks need a rest. can pair trade/hedge with JPM 130puts cuz it should fill that gap
You already have a bet going - QQQ to 300.0 before 08-Jan-2023 04:02 AM -05
Hey y'all! So I'm about to be 21 years old this May and recently joined the workforce. I live in a third world country with my parents, so my expenses are basically zero thanks to low cost of living. So I was planning on putting all my post tax income to something like qqq every month without looking at anything. What do you guys think of this strategy? I realise that a broader index fund would have been a more sensible option like VTI, VOO, SPY, etc. But the only problem is that they have higher dividend yields, and 25% of all dividends will be withheld in my case. QQQ seems to be the only option that has a low dividend yield, and I'd rather not get dividends at all, as other than that 25% tax, tax filing also becomes a lot more complex in my country in case of quarterly dividends.
I am not a bear, but this doesn’t mean much. If you look at SPY 200MA, you can see how it broke it back in March and still ended up dropping significantly. In August, it came close to breaking and then dropped significantly again. QQQ hasn’t even hit the 200MA yet. I think there will be another significant drop from current levels either in December or January, before the market moons.
Okay so my regard thoughts on your intentions as somebody who occasionally trades SQQQ. The rate of decay I believe (could be wrong) around 4-5% a month. So if you are planning on holding something to keep in mind. The economy eating shit is a very likely outcome over the next year. But that doesn't mean that the market will eat shit for any specific period of time. We could just as easily see a bit of a bullish run the next couple weeks until the FOMC and then a sell off. I don't know how experienced you are with trading or trading with this specific amount of money. But with these leveraged ETFs it can mess with you if they get to doing bad because they can drop fast. So make sure you are giving strong consideration to risk tolerance. Just an example in the last month QQQ is up about 10% or so. Which means that over that same period if you had held SQQQ you could be down 30% not even counting the decay. Two things to consider. Rather than thinking about the odds of the economy eating shit think about the odds that the market stays green over the next month or so. I'm not the best at this so take my regard opinion with a grain of salt but I'm seeing what looks like the 200 SMA and another resistance both 5-10% above where QQQ is at now. Will it test those before dropping? The other thing is why go all in at once. Look at more of a DCA kind of approach? My two cents and probably worth about as much.
NFLX calls: 25 bagger SPY calls: 30 bagger QQQ calls: 30 bagger TSLA calls: 7 bagger My position: TSLA puts -70%, SPY puts -100%
Never. What you should do if you have the capital instead, buy deep in the money puts QQQ like delta -.90 or above try to get as less premium as possible…. Then buy 1 strike away OTM call to hedge. Weekly play. Selling covered puts is very dangerous, and the R/R isnt great. Your loss is limited but your gain is unlimited.
It’s probably queers QQQ. so more gay
QQ what is QQQQ? I thought was QQQ?
Bruh, options on a leveraged product, and then that being a QQQ...wow. Peeps at Citadel love you and thank you for the easy money :-). I'd try throwing some dice behind the Wendys dumpster with the other regards, you'd have a better chance. Welcome home.
The micro-trend's bullish consolidation on both the SPY & QQQ pierced, and more importantly closed, above their flag's celing, but much more so on the SPY than the QQQ. As a result, the SPY is considerably closer to major resistance than the QQQ (e.g. $8 on the QQQ vs. only $2 on the SPY). Of note, SPY did close above its 200 DMA, whereas QQQ remains below its 200 DMA. The fact today's move occurred on comparatively high volume (144M & 75M respectively) suggests institution's participated, as opposed to only retail investors. Critical for the bulls will be a SPY close above at least 407.68 and a QQQ close above at least 293.47. Regardless, with so many resistance levels above current price, upside will stil likely be limited in both price and duration.

QQQ 200p LEAP Puts are very cheap
My two Furus are going bearish soon. Trust me, this shit is not last QQQ at extremes right now I would open shorts 4080 to start and 4120 more full size and VIX less than 20
QQQ has more exposure to Apple too and since Apple has had the issue with Foxconn, I think it largely contributed to QQQ lagging.
SPY has exposure to 11 sectors. QQQ does not.
Leveraged ETF's usually have a lot higher IV's, which means more $ for option trading. (Though a bit riskier than if you just trade QQQ, I suppose)
I mainly trade QQQ. I love it. When it moves, it really moves and you can make outsized gains(and losses). It has been a money maker this year due to the crash of tech stocks.
Yes, I was thinking about doing the same play with DIA and QQQ since there is a larger spread between Dow and Nasdaq. Puts on DIA and calls on QQQ
QQQ 300c's first thing at open.
Yep, take a look at the stocks in ARKK and QQQ. It didn't matter when interest rates were 0%, and the Fed was doing QE to keep the cost of capital cheap, but now many of those stocks are down 50 - 90% or even delisted.
Bought QQQ puts when it was up 3% and blew all my gains for the day and some.
It doesn’t work like that. Usually you are better off buying options on the regular QQQ
I had been watching QQQ for some time, had been doing well trading puts on individual stocks. The day I see huge RSI i loaded puts. Not only did it not pull back, it went up again while the regular tickers I trade went down. So that ended my dabble into Nasdaq tied funds. Never going to trade vs market funds ever again
So, when did we last get a green candle like this, and what happened next? https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=QQQ&ty=c&ta=1&p=d Today's green took us from 281 open on the QQQ to 293 close. There are three comparable green candles so far this year. 1) Ordinary green, October 13th from 255->270. It was followed by a red candle from 271->260 the very next day, October 14th. 2) Ultra green, on Feb 24th, 319->340. On March 7th, 11 days later, a red candle took us from 337->324. 3) Modest green, May 4th. 319->330. Red candle arrived the next day, 325->313. By May 12th there was a low of 284. I guess what I'm saying is: 2/3 of green candle was followed by similarly big red candle back down this year, the very next day.
So, when did we last get Shrek-dick'd like this, and what happened next? https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=QQQ&ty=c&ta=1&p=d Today's Shrekking took us from 281 open on the QQQ to 293 close. There are three comparable shreks so far this year. 1) Ordinary Shrek, October 13th from 255->270. It was followed by a Satan-dick from 271->260 the very next day, October 14th. 2) Ultra-Shrek on Feb 24th, 319->340. On March 7th, 11 days later, Satan dicked us right back down from 337->324. 3) Mini-Shrek, May 4th. 319->330. Satan's dick arrived the next day, 325->313. However, Satan's little gnomes also dicked us over and over, and by May 12th there was a low of 284. I guess what I'm saying is: 2/3 of Shrek cock was followed by similarly epic Satan cock this year, the very next day.

We had the big surge today that no doubt changed option pricing. But as of earlier this week, one could have sold $320 strike puts on SPY 6-12 months out for 4-6% annualized, depending on exactly how far out one sold and bought back. QQQ gave slightly larger premiums. No, that's not truly zero risk, but it's pretty darn good in my book. Added to the 4+% of treasuries (with margin requirements of 1-5%), and you could get 8-12+%. I suspect lower risk than high yield bonds, BDCs, or holding SPY, and probably not a worse risk:reward ratio to holding long-duration bonds.
not sure if /s but it can actually go wrong if the SPR/QQQ go really low, you "infinite" (up to losing everything) downside risk, vs locked limited upside reward.
Market still wants to go higher. Bad news creates little dips, good news big rallies. CPI and FOMC are back to back this month, 12/16 300C QQQ & 12/15 SPX 420C
If PCE comes in at or even just slightly below expectation I can see SPY and QQQ going up another 1%
I like your allocation. I myself am a 50/50 VTI/QQQ enjoyer

DOW is now officially in the "bull market" after being up 20% in November SPY and QQQ next.
I didn't trade today. Probably would have bought puts. Wish I had known that it was just gonna keep pumping because I was eyeballing QQQ calls around 289. 🤷♀️
DOW is now officially in the "bull market" after being up 20% in November SPY and QQQ next.
Selling puts is bullish, but SQQQ is inverse, so you basically want to make a bearish play vs QQQ? Is there a reason not to sell call credit spreads directly on QQQ and cut out the middleman?
december will be bear hunting season, bulls will carry 50 caliber to shoot every bear in sight lol QQQ bout to dildo throw bear from hole to mouth
Both times was on QQQ. Honestly my next move would have probably been on Dec. 14th for the next rate hike meeting. Probably $1k in call options half an hour before the meeting because it keeps jumping before each meeting lately.
Some of you here bought SPY and QQQ puts this morning.... It shows
many things are the worst for past 10 years, JPow will have another rate hike of 50bps, China protests, etc. SPY and QQQ: mooning 
lol... finally got a bagger on QQQ 290 calls 1100%.
WTF QQQ is gonna close up 5% on literally nothing. The market is regarded
QQQ went up 4.6% in just a few hours based on nothing
Normally "defensive" consumer staples and healthcare carry high p/e valuations right now. If you wanted to play safe, you'd put your money in short term treasuries and sell cash-secured puts on SPR or QQQ very far away. This combo could yield 8-12+% annualized.
No, early November was CPI where QQQ was up over 7%.
Bruh QQQ up 4% Is this the largest day gain of the year?
QQQ is up over 4% in the last two hours. Geez
QQQ 284c 12/2 bought for 2.19 sold for 2.24 I donot wanna hear it 😂😂😂
If you're down 30% on your QQQ position, I would recommend holding onto the shares and averaging down. The market is indeed fucked up at the moment, but it will eventually recover and when it does, your position will be in a much better spot. ^^[**Discord**](http://discord.gg/wsbverse) ^^[BanBets](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/wiki/banbets/) ^^VoteBot ^^[FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/wiki/votebot/) ^^[Leaderboard](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/wiki/leaderboard/) ^^- ^^[**Keep_VM_Alive**](https://www.patreon.com/visualmod)

Boy am I happy I sold my QQQ this morning... Rope please
SPY - at recent highs QQQ - slightly above IWM - not quite there and kinda lagging
Core PCE will be close to zero. PCE weights shelter and used cars much less than CPI. So a rough estimate of the core PCE is the CPI less shelter, energy, food, and used cars and trucks, which is one of the categories that's broken down in the full CPI report. I went back for two years and core PCE is almost always below that number (MoM) or at most 0.1 above it. That number for October was dead-ass 0. Headline PCE also weighs energy and food less than CPI. My estimate for headline is about 0.2 MoM. Core YoY will have a 4 handle guaranteed. I'm holding my calls on TLT, SPY, and QQQ and expecting a good bump from it tomorrow morning especially since JPow re-confirmed core PCE is what they most care about. But I will be taking some profit on that bump because PCE doesn't normally move markets, so I think any euphoria will be short-lived, like with PPI.
Had literally everything invested in QQQ and SPY puts except for a $50 stash I had in RobinHood. Bought 5 $407 class for tomorrow for .10 each. Now I’m praying SPY jumps 3% tomorrow to save my ass and let me keep gambling.
If at first you don’t succeed try again. Last hoorah. 12/14 280 QQQ puts
I called the QQQ top on december and also made money but also lost them all by february 
You already have a bet going - QQQ to 275.0 before 03-Dec-2022 03:52 AM -05
Someone made millions on QQQ sweepers. Fair warning they are starting to hit the 280 12/14 puts. Above ask 🤔
12/14 QQQ 280p orders coming in with size...hrmm, do not like
[https://i2.wp.com/financialsamurai.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/returns-by-asset-class-2001-2020-1.png?fit=1456,9999](https://i2.wp.com/financialsamurai.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/returns-by-asset-class-2001-2020-1.png?fit=1456,9999) A lost decade means over 10 yrs stocks end where they began a decade ago. Investing in stocks that pay no dividends, you would have netted nothing, which is where the term lost decade comes from. Had those holdings paid dividends, you would have still been making money and ended net positive over that decade. When liquidity is high and credit is cheap, then growth is cheap and easier to come by, eg since the start of QE, the last decade, we had huge inflation of those growth stocks, which we've been correcting now for a couple years, ie QQQ is in bear market while S&P in mere correction. So unless youre a devoted stock picker who is successful, then what I said is perfectly valid. Do you have an actual counter argument?
SPY 403/QQQ 290 both seem like pretty tough resistance levels... I wonder if we break this during after hours/pre market tmr
I don't know what happened, but I shorted QQQ. We'll see how it goes.
my QQQ 12/2 calls that I sold at 450 bucks each are now worth 1 grand. lmfao
>Probably the massive inversion in yields that's never a good sign for stocks. Or it's just a sign that the market expects inflation to rapidly drop. >Stocks are not cheap enough to justify buying them over a 3.5 - 4.5% bond. Clearly not since just QQQ performed at 365x that *today.*
Another 7.5% QQQ day incoming? lol
