You'll get terrible advice here - stick with QQQ. If you want more risk/reward then a bit of XLK, SMH. Add a few individual stocks like GOOGL, AVGO, CRDO.
You think QQQ will make a new high this year?
5 months is more than just recent news. And looks like QQQ is now heading lower.
I mean fears of AI killing us all or whatever. Like the thing thats been in the news recently. I don't think QQQ has been low because they are hedging humanity's extinction lol
Why hasn’t QQQ made a new ATH in 5 months tho….?
Funnily enough -1.6% on the QQQ is priced in for all this. Think about, bombs fly, spy +0.25%. No bombs flying THAT day, spy +1%. This is all that was needed to prove in 5% bond yields, rate hike, and ai slowdown. Now we pump.
QQQ hasn’t made a new ATH in almost half a year. LMFAO. NOW is a good time to slow down the frontier! 😂😂😂😂
Is your QQQ chart -1.68% or just mine?
Stock outperformance is more complex then people think. People associate the words “tech/growth” with more return because they sound like they should give more return, but they actually don’t. QQQ on a longer basis actually underperformed - over 100 years, small cap and value (not growth) outperformed. We got though cycles of different things performing well, and the past decade has been a large cap growth cycle. But for what comes next, we don’t know, and we shouldn’t assume QQQ will keep winning over something like VTI, because the math and history says it won’t.
QQQ -2% day back down to July lows 680
QQQ opening below the support level LMFAO good luck today bol, you will need it.
My $716 QQQ puts expiring today bought at the Friday close are looking juicy
Why is QQQ starting to look like a 6 month top, and not upwards consolidation?
This is actually a pretty fun experiment, but the next step I'd want to see is whether the portfolio beat an appropriate benchmark because of broad stock picking skill or because one or two huge winners carried everything else. NBIS being up that much can completely transform a ten stock basket. It would be interesting to put the original portfolio into something like Moon and compare the contribution from each position, concentration and drawdown against just buying SPY or QQQ on the same date. I'd also repeat the experiment with another random Reddit basket because one year is probably nowhere near enough to tell whether Reddit has an edge or everyone just happened to be fishing in the right part of the market.
Is it too late for puts on QQQ
QQQ 699 cant hurt you that bad bro
SGOV should be used as an emergency fund. The foundation of your portfolio should be a very low expense ratio index fund like VT or VTI. I don't like QQQ because of its expense ratio, there are better funds than QQQ, with lower expense ratios.
I’m taking QQQ calls at 701 personally.
Oh god what’s going on with QQQ
Can’t wait to somehow lose money on QQQ puts today
Fr now how to make the most money over the next 10 years? Fullport QQQ or fullport GDX?
QQQ may only dip 3% and then we rip 20% final months of dotcom style.
703 is a very important level on QQQ. Needs to hold or bull are fuk
the interesting part is that QQQ + S&P 500 already have plenty of overlap. adding 40% single stocks can make the portfolio much more concentrated than it looks
NDX is the actual NASDAQ 100 index, QQQ is an etf you can use to buy the NASDAQ, NQ is futures for the NASDAQ. Same with SPX, SPY, and ES.
2% down of QQQ before market start is neat.
woah QQQ getting wrecked
cool story go buy a QQQ 0dte
they aren't slowing down, but the price progression of QQQ will lmao
What % decrease on QQQ would we need for today to be termed “black Monday”? Serious question
we have felt that the progression of QQQ has been too fast, and it has caused a great safety concern. To ensure proper alignment, we have conferred to institute a pause on it's positive price progression in order to focus on safety. Thank you for your attention.
QQQ to end week below 700
NFA, but stick with $QQQ. It’s meant for volatility and serious gains. Adjust your strategy by purchasing LEAP options as well if you can.
Shout out to that guy who borrowed 300k to short sell weekly QQQ 700 puts expiring Friday
QQQ is down 1%+ likely will be a 2% day so that means everything tech related is like down 5-10%
I’d worry about getting the Roth IRA set up before trying to find something “better” than QQQ or SGOV
The first distinction I would make is that this is not really a 60/40 asset allocation. It is a 100% equity portfolio, with 40% allocated to individual company selection. I would also measure every percentage at current market value, not purchase price. What you originally paid no longer determines how much of your portfolio is exposed if one holding falls today. There is also more concentration here than the headline percentages suggest. QQQ and the S&P 500 overlap substantially, and your individual stocks may already be held inside both funds. If Google is 16% of the portfolio directly, your true look-through exposure to Google is higher than 16%. A 10% initial position and 20% trimming threshold are fairly concentrated limits. At 20%, a 50% decline in one company would remove roughly 10% from the entire portfolio before including its indirect weight in your ETFs. There is no universally correct percentage for single stocks. I would define how much of your long term wealth you are willing to have depend on your stock selection outperforming a diversified benchmark, then treat that amount as the active risk budget. Rebalancing through new contributions is reasonable while those contributions remain large enough; eventually you will need a written rule for whether the 20% ceiling actually requires selling. Is this 60/40 structure your entire long term portfolio, including retirement accounts, or a separate taxable stock picking account outside a diversified core?
I have 40% stocks/60% ETFs (SPY, QQQ, EFA, EEM) in post-tax investment accounts about $3.5M. My retirement accounts are 15% single stocks and 85% ETFs ($2M). Some observations from more than 20 years of investing (60M). My single stocks performance is better than ETFs in bull markets and worse during bear markets; they generally even out. Also foreign ETFs have dragged the performance over the last 10 years, but the last two years it’s been much better than US. I don’t invest in bonds, so most of my diversification comes from foreign ETFs.
Selling my house soon and having a hard time deciding where to park the $. Is 100% QQQ too pussy or what we sayin
They also dont really register that QQQ and growth/large is not exepcted to outperform the average stock long run. Not saying dont invest in it, but also something to know, and its not a terrible idea to diversify a bit in ways that wont harm your expected return
Don’t sell what you already have to buy something else, otherwise you’ll be taxed on capital gains. QQQ is solid, but has a high concentration in tech so has a bit more risk. I personally would start putting future contributions into an etf that tracks the whole US market like VTI and put a small percentage into an international etf like VXUS. VOO is another good option that tracks the S&P 500 but it overlaps heavily with VTI, so pick one or the other.
Just start buying QQQM. I still have QQQ left over from before I switched too.
QQQ is heavily growth and tech weighted. As an 18-year-old being concentrated in heavy growth stocks is not necessarily a bad thing as long as you are ok with investment losses and won't panic sell. The problem is that young people have lived their entire lives in a massive bull market and don't really register the idea of losing money in stocks.
706 actually seems like a fair price for QQQ
For savings (SGOV) and long term (QQQ) is fine. I use QQQM instead of QQQ. What matters more is the account they are in? As long as you are working you should put the money in a Roth IRA, QQQ can be used in it. Hopefully you also used your TSP while you were in the Marines.

Seems like we're going to play this somewhat similarly to how DeepSeek day was played early last year. As long as they keep trying to buy the dip in the Dow and small cap stocks lol, there won't be any serious issues, though I do think it'll be a minor miracle if this is where QQQ closes. But the world right now is primed and ripe for an "and another thing" to come.
