Always a Pleasure $HOOD. Thanks again QQQ
Always a Pleasure $HOOD, Thanks again QQQ.
QQQ gonna spike soon (UP or DOWN)
Held these 0DTE over weekend. 11K QQQ calls am I cooked?
If June CPI comes in hotter than expected, is the better trade Treasuries or SPY/QQQ puts?

I bought QQQ about a year or so after it came out and it's now up about 1,500%.
They track different indexes and behave differently. QQQ - Tracks the NASDAQ-100 Index Index consists of approximately 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. As things stand today they are dominated by tech companies but does not have non-tech giants such as Berkshire, Visa etc. VOO - Tracks the S&P 500 Index Index consists of approximately 500 of the largest US companies including financials, utilities, and energy. Ofcourse it also includes all the tech majors. VOO excludes any international stocks. Tech has been on a tear for a while now and hence you see QQQ outperforming. Both provide different exposures. You make your choice depending upon the exposure you desire, your ability to accept volatility, risk level etc etc. PS: **QQQ is overwhelmingly a concentrated subset of VOO**. When you remove the few international companies listed on the Nasdaq, nearly every single company inside QQQ is already owned by VOO.
If SPY and QQQ keep the current trajectory, I may get all my money back 😝
Got QQQ puts and APP calls 🌝
heard QQQ calls and puts, which one we feelin?
QQQ calls at open it is thanks
Gold up today. SPY still has room to go up. QQQ, DRAM and SOXX are going to see a pull back.
QQQ is tech-heavy, while VOO is broad-market diversified. If QQQ drops 50%, it signals a localized tech sector bust that the broader economy can likely survive; if VOO drops 50%, it signals a severe global economic crisis.
QQQ really fighting to be green it seems
Don't regret taking the $209 profit from my QQQ calls now, would've been down 2.4k if I held
How’s QQQ green right now?? lol
Not easy but doable, I’ve had best luck with QQQ it’s more volatile than SPY
It’s because of my 0dte calls on QQQ. I was doubling down expecting a end of day pop not a flat line to last minute diarrhea
$SPCX gonna tank when engineers can start selling shares. Let's say an engineer has 2,500 shares at $100/shares. I don't know an engineer alive making $100k a year that wouldn't sell at least 500 shares to pocket $50k now. Rip QQQ
No I have been scalping SPY and QQQ like a little bitch. Also took some gains on puts with SpaceX yesterday, but I too got IV crushed. Luckily it dropped enough to make a 30% gain on a weekly. Staying out of the SpaceX share unlocking tomorrow. I don’t have the stomach for options except the occasional couple hundred dollar lotto ticket.
I meant AH, QQQ and SNDK have the same shape
VOO is more diversified across different sectors than QQQ is by a long ways. That said, QQQ is probably fine. So is VTI, or VFINX, or VFIAX, or or or or or. For best results, pick something rules based with greater than 28 companies spread across as many sectors and investment strategies as possible. I don't know why the number 28, but I am pretty sure I heard it thrown around in theory circles before.
so when do I full port 3x QQQ long

Being the only one left holding QQQ calls has me feeling like the last Italian being forced to watch New Yorkers put pineapple on pizza
It's the theoretically rational choice under uncertainty. Diversification works. It's proven to reduce volatility without reducing expected returns. Since it is highly diversified (more than QQQ), and easy to invest in at a low cost, it is a smart choice for the future. QQQ is more profitable because investors expect higher returns for its higher volatility. Everyone has different risk preferences, though, and so VOO is more likely to fit the average person's preferences.
$VOO is a little more diversified but $QQQ always outperforms it
QQQ price target by EOW?
What about QQQ by EOW? Any price target?
At least SPY not giving a fuck. QQQ still in the dunce corner.

I’m hoping to get all the money that I lost a couple of days from my SPY and QQQ puts in next few days 😆
anyone QQQ called!?
Holding QQQ $727 puts and SPY $776 puts😎
While I do agree, it’s still more diversified than QQQ
Anyone QQQ CALLED 28th aug😂😂😂
QQQ gapping up to 745 by Friday
I bought SPX and QQQ calls that expire Friday during the mid day, feel sick to my stomach right now.
So I guess QQQ back to the 700 range tomorrow? POS

My 5-figure QQQ investment in 2016 is a healthy mid-six figure value today. I originally allocated 70% of my portfolio in 2016 to QQQ but then in 2022 decided to go 100%. Today, my portfolio is 80% QQQ, 10% SMH, and 10% VOO. Going forward, I’m only making contributions each month to VOO in order to diversify given my age (34).
Shouldve bought QQQ puts instead of SPY, my shit is fucked.
Really just asking to ask, I've dipped my toes into investing but haven't gone far into it. I currently have about $500 into QQQ and like $300 into RKLB. I just always see the VOO response and wondered what the difference was, QQQ could be replaced with any other similar ETF I suppose, it's just the one that I know exists that is similar to VOO. Thank you for all the info though, it's appreciated.
Relax, I bought QQQ 720p expiring this Friday. Rainbows and sunshine for the next 2 days for sure
whoever said QQQ 720P at market open is a genius

first time gambaing QQQ, is this normal?
Technically correct as there are ~15% of companies in QQQ not in voo, but from a market cap perspective like 95% of QQQ value is contained in voo. That missing 5% isn’t really moving a needle so as it stands qqq is basically a subset of voo. Now if it tech craters and a ton of those companies drop out of the S&P500, that’s a different story
VOO is more diversified than QQQ and has lesser expense ratio, its for folks how are in long term, QQQ is for traders that dont mind risk for the extra upside.
I went 90% into a stock inside QQQ called Nebius group 😏
Man I should have bought QQQ puts instead of boring old SPY puts
**Ranking by 10-year Sharpe ratio:** **SMH** (2.45) **VOO** (1.38) **VGT** (1.33) **QQQ** (1.11)
QQQ is manly tech stocks VOO has much wider diversification. Also, it's popular. There's probably better SP500 indexes with lower expense ratios I've honestly seen a lot more people recommend VT lately
Bought SNDK, QQQ, and WDC called Lambo or $WEN
Not exactly subset. VOO tracks SP500 vs QQQ tracks NASDAQ100
Lower expense ratio and more diversified than QQQ (SP500 vs NASDAQ100)
QQQ up tomorrow. Should rip after AMD earnings report
VOO is more diversified and less volatile. QQQ isn't always more profitable, check out how it performed from 2000 to 2016

VOO is more stable than QQQ. It is gonna be hard to chill when the AI crash finally shows up and wipes away 2 years of QQQ gains.
QQQ is a much smaller subset of VOO and is dominated by tech. Tech is much more volatile
It makes up a very small portion of QQQ and it obviously won’t go to zero, damage will be contained. But yeah, the principle of it is pretty jacked up - literally robbing the average joe so the world’s richest man and his buddies can exit
Do I buy a put on QQQ to sit on tonight
All the calls get ripped from the poor's hands Then QQQ closes at 728
buying puts on $QQQ today with tomorrow expiration is free money NQ is going to sell off in the Asia session tomorrow and you will start the day up 100%
I was mostly in tech and space. With how much they both moved (Along with QQQ) I feel extremely satisfied to extract my winnings. Besides, Space has a catalyst on friday, where SPCX may end up forcing the entire sector to become a dump fest. Don't want to take that chance.
SPCX gonna take the QQQ into a blackhole.
I still can't believe they added it to QQQ before the holding period even expired. It's going to move the whole market down.
I am into QQQ with calls at Break Even at 735$ for this friday. Today was chill but it look like another 1-2 weeks bull run. What do you think?
Maybe But if QQQ wont hit 730 I deserve it

I’m still buying everytime we touch 720, Sandisk reports tonight and job report tomorrow. I still say QQQ hits ATH. It usually Follows shortly after spy hits it, but NfA im regarded.
QQQ keeps scissoring 721 for the last hour. UHG

QQQ's green day streak record is 13. I expected to destroy that this time, but not it's over after 2 days. Fucking sad
Adding ShitX to QQQ was a mistake.

QQQ being such a dick today
I'm looking at QQQ 730c for Friday
Gonna need two -3% days for me to break even on my QQQ puts expiring tomorrow lol...
I rebalanced last week after consolidating all my IRAs and one Roth. FWIW, both times when the transfer of assets happened, there was a dip in the market because of the Iran war and the assets were sold right before the small dip (we are talking like 4% S&P 500) and I just bought in on the dip and prices came back up and are even hire today (could go down tomorrow or next week or next month, no one knows) Ended up rebalancing: 45% Total US stock Market 25% Total International 15% Small Cap Value 15% Bond index fund. (I might lower this to 10% since I have way too much cash on hand and in t-bills in my brokerage). The reason why I rebalanced now though is because I received an inheritance and also I'm heavy MAG 7 in my brokerage account via META, MSFT, APPL plus index funds (VTI and QQQ and VOO (I know I know, they hold the same shit basically) and I can't rebalance without tax implications. Depending on how old you are and when you need the money, if you are a decade away or more from needing the money, then you are spending more mental energy sitting on the sidelines with that 25%. 25% on the sidelines is not going to move the needle IMO so you might as well rebalance now, and not have to worry about all the shit going on in the world. The whole purpose of asset allocation and diversifying is to help you get on with your life.
Don't feel bad that you scalped your QQQ puts instead of holding. $1500 in the hand is worth $30000 in the bush.
QQQ -0.55% day effectively wiped out 99% of WSB
NVDA and MU holding QQQ up if either of them give up darker times are ahead…
Okay so I was licking myself for not holding my QQQ calls over night... Now I don't feel so bad
QQQ is just one index, Im looking at a variety
QQQ is doing the Perez Hilton.
QQQ -0.22% on the day and people are panicking Crazy work
QQQ 723C right here I think we slow melt back up to close the day at 727
QQQ -11% from ATH is just a magic switch this year. Second it's hit it just bounces higher
I didn’t blow my portfolio, but yesterday was terrible for me. The QQQ flush came too late for the puts that I paperhanded.
