No one cares until the yield is the same value as QQQ itself
US10Y gunna hit ATH same time as QQQ. Very normal
QQQ up $5 in 15 minutes "theta"
Good maybe it can pull some money out of QQQ, since it seems nothing is able to
if QQQ doesnt fall off by the end of the week Im going ass to mouth
QQQ 770C exp 10/12 and SPY 783C exp 10/12. LETS RIDE
every fucking time QQQ gaps up but the stock im trading either stays flat or goes down what the fuck man
Not even an hr in and I am 100% certain they won't let QQQ fall at all today. Just one of those super gay momentum buying days where it only trends up at a steady pace all day, every 40 cent dip bought.
This already seems to be a day where QQQ will go up non stop regardless of logic
I give them 2h to drop QQQ or I will tell my free Gemini plan to take over the stock market
Think we are due for -3% day on QQQ...
No exp waste let me know when QQQ pumps up 2% https://preview.redd.it/uoxuarsdpnth1.jpeg?width=663&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35442862ea29604cba4c4329a7fe4e6833068e08
25, some split between VOO and QQQ or QQQM is what you want. If you want to be a little more aggressive in tech, then take 20% and spread it across a couple of tech sector ETFs or a few individual tech names.
This feels like a fake pump situation for QQQ
Everything is down EXCEPT QQQ wtf is this
For what it's worth, the link seems weaker than it feels. I recently grouped every year since 1978 by how much the 30y yield moved (fell sharply, fell, rose, rose sharply), and the S&P averaged between 10 and 12% a year in all four groups. 2022 is the year everyone remembers, but 2013 sits in the same "rose sharply" group at about +30%. Has anyone looked at the 10y and QQQ specifically?
QQQ will touch 800 before SPY. lol.

watch the NQ / QQQ ATH for continued whipsaw and bull trap
You said QQQ -3% earlier :hmmm:
QQQ ATH while 50% my portfolio is in shambles.
I’m up so much this month. (100k in 2 months) I yoloed 10k in QQQ puts on Friday to just feel something. My dumb ass might get paid tmr
I’m balls deep in QQQ 749p. Expiring Tuesday.
I'm gonna be honest, $500 in SGOV vs QQQ really won't make a difference here
🚨 SPY SURGES PAST 770 ON OVERNIGHT MARKETS WHILE QQQ SURGES PAST 752. They say the first hour sets the tone for the day.
Never short a major index. Short single stocks if you are so inclined. Stop buying SPY or QQQ puts, you are just donating to MMs
So that means deep puts on QQQ.
#Most of you didn't notice but QQQ made a new ATH last week. This week I expect it to make 5 new ATHs with 5 green days. LMAO🤌
🚨 QQQ extend gains in overnight trading today after surging in Friday.

Alright fellas. Its been about a year since I last got fucked for a large amount of money. I have accumulated it back, and I'm ready to shoot for the moon again. Im looking to dump about 20% of my networth into 0DTE options tomorrow. Im leaning toward Spy or QQQ, but open to suggestions. If this hits for me, it will mean so many things. My dream car mostly.. let me know what you think.

I’m done with SPY, gonna switch to QQQ. Never bought options on QQQ. SI told me it’s more volatile, more explosive. Any regarded tips?
Can't wait for the Hyperliquid peeps to tell me how much QQQ is gonna move at open 😇
QQQ a rotation out of tech can happen ay day this week.
That’s fair. I opened the position in August 2020. I know it doesn’t produce QQQ returns, but it’s been paying my mortgage for six years and I’m comfortable with it.

Next week QQQ 790 CALLS
We just hit ATH in QQQ. That means fresh money into market and more ATHs
I just woke up - dreamt about placing a 10K 0DTE call order, not getting filled, I refreshed and QQQ is 1.5%! Up in a second
QQQ 800 eow thanks for SI
Get ready for Uptobull next week. QQQ +5.5%
congrats on the run, but 14,000% in 15 days is a classic tail event; the next month could wipe it all after you pull 7.5k out. in 1‑dte QQQ, you’re betting on only a few hours of volatility, so keep a separate 'real earnings' bucket and don’t keep adding to the same positions after every win.
So QQQ is kinda fucked if tech ever crashes tho yeah?
Why buy QQQ puts. Tech companies are ripping. Memory booming, software coming back, CPU companies booming. What am I missing
QQQ took 15 years to recover from the dot com crash btw
I guess IMO, the multi month rally JUST started. QQQ hit ATH after multi month consolidation. Many tech/ai stocks just broke their downtrend lines. Many momentum stocks are still beaten down 30-40% from the recent selloff. If anything, now is the time to add exposure to tech/ai and ride this wave back up. The market REALLY REALLY wants to go up. As soon as this Iran war is over, yields will plummet, oil will go down, rate hike fears calm down, and market will go ballistic. I wouldn’t want to be on the sideline in cash when this happens. The time to build cash position will be a couple months from now, after the rally that has literally just started.
Not here regard. QQQ and chill until you have fuck you money to trade with
Come back when you’ve yolo’ed the $130K on QQQ options.

VTI would probably be safest, but QQQ tends to gain more annually, and they are pretty correlated.
buy 25 0dte 735 QQQ puts and hope for a crash
QQQ puts last week I’m guessing?
I have my boring retirement in SPY/QQQ but do have a decent cash position too.
Just in time for indexes to eat shit as a result of the AI bubble pop. Those index funds are more than 40% AI bubble whether you choose VT, SPY or QQQ. But I'm with you in solidarity. 25% SPY, 25% VT, 25% SPYI, 10% TQQQ and 5% TLT for the rest of the year. Rest in money market. Will probably sell weekly 2% OTM calls on the SPY position. YOLO.
I did a bunch of study and trial for myself that has evolved over time. Tried many different ways. The way I do it now is 1. I only do them with SPY and QQQ primarily and IWM, DIA, GLD secondary when charts look stable. 2. 30 to 35 dte for higher premium 3. 15 deltas (I dont think about this much I just do) 4. Once position is taken I enter an exit. My exit was 55% profit (pay back 45% if credit received) 50% to me and 5% to cover commissions Currently since July 1 when I started doing this I am 85% success rate. As soon as I exit the position (depending on chart or if Friday wait for Monday) I re-enter position. Reset prices if you will and keep repeating. For most part I am only in the position for 11 to 12 days before exiting. As for a protection which I had to do with IWM and DIA this last week. I set an alert $5 away from shorts on DIA, IWM, GLD ($10 away from shorts on QQQ and SPY) and if breach I give it 1 day to correct or just exit. I generally lose about $100 to $200 on that position if that happens. Depends on amount risked per condor But upon re positioning I make back. As for strike distance for QQQ and SPY I use $20 from short strikes. IWM, DIA and GLD this I vary for increasing the premium but for most part $15 from short strike. I used to try to hold for entire credit but I found with IBKR if go too late it gets hard to exit and in some cases cannot exit both legs at all so I do this process. I do about 10 trades a month keeping my risk spread out amongst the 5 ETFs (when chart works) IWM and DIA arent great right now.

Down $27,500 over past 3 weeks relative to QQQ.
!banbet 3d QQQ -1.25%
The breakeven only applies at expiration. Before then a 0DTE condor can swing hard from gamma and wide spreads even while QQQ stays inside the range and Robinhood may close it early to avoid assignment. This messy four leg stuff is why a simple up or down call on moon feels cleaner when the idea is directional
Most companies within spy and QQQ are in a pretty significant correction with yields at 2002 levels and we’re just chilling at ATH while promising to print another 1.5 trillion for “$5000 dividend checks” if they win midterms. Lmao.

Congrats bro, it's very stressing to trade 0DTEs and 1DTEs on SPY, QQQ, etc.. Time is against you
But I need it now for QQQ 0dte
I think most investors have that point where they see their average return over the past 5 or 10 years, then look at SPY or QQQ and realize how much money they lost by picking stocks, or especially options.
… bro after three years you’re back where you started hahahah should have just dumped it into SPY or QQQ.
is this a sign to do QQQ options?
QQQ is one of the easiest ETFs to trade if you can keep up with what's happening in tech and current affairs.
I have $100k in “SPY” and “QQQ” PUTS on Monday. HEAVY PUTS. If you ask me, it’s going to be a crash like you’ve never seen before! It will be revolutionary! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
4 day life cycle of a bear: 1.) Sell your puts for -86% loss at Friday close after QQQ pumps 3% in a week 2.) Market opens -2% Monday and miss out on a 15x bagger 3.) Buy puts again and the market V’s to flat and your position is -85% again 4.) End of life
