I’m thinking puts on QQQ
not financial advice, but the worst place to be near retirement is over-exposed to sequence-of-returns risk. holding standard SPY/QQQ right now means you're basically 30%+ concentrated in high-multiple tech. shifting toward short-term T-bills for yield, equal-weight index exposure (RSP) to dodge the mega-cap concentration, and hard assets/cash reserves to protect principal is usually how institutional risk managers play late-cycle setups.
Haha bears, I'm taking revenge on you once and for all. Opening a short position on SPY and QQQ right now. It's over for you, you'll never see a green day again in your lives...
QQQ 717, 693, 672. Those are the pullback/correction levels from ATH.
> nothing Well that’s not quite right. The S&P 500 historically returns 10% (7% after inflation) each year. Compared to OP’s 5% (3% after inflation). We use that to make decisions about where to invest for retirement. Historical returns are no guarantee, but certainly they’re indicative. And the long term treasury has you investing for multiple years, give QQQ multiple years and it will beat 5%.
My QQQ 10/19 might actually be FUCKED
yea SOXX and QQQ dip buyers are strong at 530 and 740 repsectively. Have a feeling we'll have a cooler print which will help equities across the board.
Lil pump on QQQ, probably not good 😒
> If you were 18-30, it was a great buying opportunity if you continued to throw regular contributions. 13k in QQQ from 2009 to 2013 (100 a pay period) is 192k today Yeah, most of us 18-30 year olds didn't have any income post 2008, let alone kinds of jobs to contribute $100 in QQQ per pay period. Not trying to be funny or argumentative, so forgive me if my comment comes across as rude. Young people these days think finding a job is hard. Finding a job in 2009-2012 for young people was like playing the lottery, it just wasn't going to happen.
Why trade individual stocks and be subject to headline risk like that? Just trade the index, SPX/XSP(since now you’re poor) or if you don’t do 0 DTEs maybe SPY also works. NDX/XND/QQQ too but those move way too fast I’d suggest just XSP.
Which is all the information you’ll ever have. Investing is always like driving using only the rearview mirror. The fact of the matter is that investing in bonds with a 5% yield while QQQ is up 25% is the same as investing in bonds with a yield of 1% and QQQ up 5%. Nothing has changed and people still aren’t buying bonds.
is anything else in the QQQ besides semis/ai/memory?
I just saw the future. Big green day besides semis and ai. Semis/Ai are down 5% QQQ up 1.5% SPY up 1%
Why not directly 50% in SPY and 50% in QQQ (same as mag 7), and easy
QQQ is up 25% over the last 12 months. Why would I settle for 5%?
It's what I do with my roth. Up %38 all-time QQQ, VOO, VEA and VB(<%5 allocation for VB). Compare that to my taxable account where I trade options and shares with positions in individual stocks and no etfs(-%9 all-time lol)
Id go for QQQM instead of QQQ
Why? QQQ is like 40% NVDA already lol
sold QQQ on my IRA to go in on NVDA, time for the bubble to pop.
yeah but for how long. I doubt it will outperform QQQ over the next 10-20 years
i hope QQQ goes to 735 tmrw so i print
I got a 746c on QQQ for tomorrow. Prolly gonna donate my money but whatever
it's the year 2069. SPY is still flat while QQQ went bankrupt. all 500 stonks in SPY r red but SPY is still flat somehow
To the QQQ holder, it has good price action real estate above.
Open up whatever back testing you want and run it. I've run it on SPX in Tasty Trade. I will do it on QQQ when I get on my desktop. >index options are MORE EXPENSIVE in vol terms, relative to historicals, than the single stocks that make up the indexes. this is very common knowledge And where did I disagree with you? I am literally telling you that buying and holding the index (SPX) will outperform the options strategies that I have looked at on it. Why would I care what "the whole street" runs?
I included in my earlier reply that the short call at delta 20 was still basically within 1 SD for its expected move, that's not worth it all to me for the premium collected relative to the risk. I will have to backtest it when I get on my desktop but I would be surprised if buying DTE 45 spreads at delta 20 (or pick one) would outperform just holding QQQ and you are taking on more risk with the former.
Alexa, when was the last -3% trading day for QQQ?
i trade on QQQ & yes i know. I bought at 16:14 eastern time
Sometimes I read comments here talking about insane pumps or dumps and I go check and its like .5% movements on QQQ or spy
It was 2dte actually. So I bought yesterday and expiry was tomorrow. Yesterday QQQ was trading around 747. Then it dropped significantly overnight.
Honestly I dont know what will pump, I am just putting in everything. Either of QQQ SMH IGV has to pump up if they decide to pump the market. I just dont know which it will be.
We ending green on QQQ arent we
Is it too much to ask for one more QQQ pump

QQQ needs to just pick something and stick to it atp
QQQ is just insane now to look at the daily charts and pretend this is all normal
I have individual stocks but you can get a safer exposure to same through QQQ IGV and SMH.
Whatever an equal split between VOO, QQQ, and NVDA gets me.
Just put equal in QQQ, IGV and SMH. Who knows what one they will pump more.
Everything, cause you never know what they will pump, but obviously stay in the tech sector, QQQ or IGV may be safe options.
My main issue with QQQ is IV is always pretty low. Looking at Nov 27, delta 20 short put (700), going 10 wide only gives you a credit of 1.32
Pretty similar here. I mostly sell put spreads on QQQ a month or so out, defined risk so I sleep at night. Biggest thing that helped me was deciding when I'd get out before I ever got in, and not putting too much on any single trade. And yeah, I stay away from earnings too. Learned that one the expensive way.
It seems like we are in month 3 of low volume for QQQ/SPY etc.., I amassuming this has to do with all the macro events going on for the most part. Trying to educate myself and learn from this group. Any input from anyone?
Remember when QQQ used to drop 2% at open lol

#When semi stocks pump QQQ pumps like hell. When semi stocks crash and burn QQQ is barely flat. LMAO🤌🏾
QQQ is in a crazy range doing funky things
Good point. I've primarily been tracking relative strength through IWM/QQQ over the past 20–60 trading sessions, rather than using a comprehensive breadth series. The persistent underperformance of smaller companies relative to Nasdaq leadership is what initially caught my attention, particularly within AI infrastructure. I agree that relative weakness alone doesn't establish broader market deterioration. Comparing advance/decline lines, the percentage of constituents above their 50/200-day moving averages, and participation across unrelated sectors would provide a much stronger picture. I'm trying to distinguish a temporary rotation away from high-beta growth from a broader deterioration in risk appetite. Do you have a preferred breadth indicator or methodology for identifying when sector-specific weakness starts becoming systemic?
I’m long QQQ, down 50% on my calls. You should buy puts if you like money lmao.
Zero gains for the QQQ since the start of June lol.
for what tho- MU, DRAM, QQQ, NBIS, SOXL? Can’t decide

Just go MSCI all world and Some QQQ and hold. Dont invest it if you need it the comming 5 years - you'll be fine. Sometimes it just helps to zoom out on the graph. Time in the market beats tming the market. Also dont look at it everyday, as emotions are your worst enemy as you just discoverdd
