Some honest assessment of my investing strategy and why "steady but surely" beats "get rich now" if you're not devoted to trading
The market is held up by boomer optimism which will be destroyed
Great news guys I just checked IBKR and QQQ actually closed at 740. Yesterday was probably just some weird bug.

What does 0DTE QQQ mean? I'm not from US and I'm a beginner with stocks
All you had to do was buy QQQ and you’d have 150k.
QQQ 750 was the top, bol doesn't realize we are already in the lost decade
For the same reason, I usually play a small, ODTE when the market moves significantly at open the opposite direction of where weekly momentum is trending. When I see .5% move in spy Or QQQ early and have conviction the day will end the opposite direction i go OTM with 30% stop loss. I only need to be right about 1/4 times to be well ahead with outsized returns when I am correct. Mind you, this is a very very small position when I do it. Had 500% and 250% trades this last week going in on first move and being out by noon.
My holdings: 50% QQQ, 50% NBIS, about 3% DRAM Am I safe for the next 10 years?
35% DBS - Singapore Bank, local stock for me 30% AMD - Rose from 7%, it was a small old bet that paid off 20% GOOG 15% A mixture of MSFT, BRK.B & QQQ Currently DCA monthly into GOOG annualized XIRR is 27.2% 6.5 year old portfolio
Lots of mixed sentiment across big tech this weekend, QQQ is the clear standout here.
Losing money on QQQ in this market is a legitimately impressive feat
\>AI is gonna crash reasonably soon I remember reading this when NVDA ripped 30% in a day to 500 in May 2023(?) lol. And again when it went from 500 to 1400 in like 4 months. QQQ would need to crash almost 60% and 40% just to get back to where this happened.
QQQ ytd 17%, 1yr return 33%. Why so greedy?
> Mostly traded 0DTE QQQ options. Well, that answers most of my questions, TBH.
This happend to me befor because I just forgot to delete my Stop Sell Order. When I trade SPY Options I mostly open two sell orders after buy. One for Stoploss and one for Profit taking. I normally do a OCA Order so when one is triggered, the other gets deleted. Yeah somehow I setup two different orders. My Sell Limit was executed and I took my profit. My Stoploss Sell order was still there and I sold a QQQ Put option. Luckily it closed above and I was able to take the premium. But this is how something like this happens
I figured out that if you buy 0DTE OTM QQQ options every day, you run out of money
Crazy to me that your takeaway is that it’s the market’s fault… Brother you were trading 0DTE QQQ options. That’s not “market rationality” testing. You obviously were throwing orders around without any idea of what you were doing. Quit it, you’re horrible at this
Hey! you gave your money to that other guy who made a mil trading 0DTE QQQ that was on here earlier this week! It’s like we just witnessed the Circle of Life! Queue Lion King music.
I already have QQQ. I dont want more exposure to MSFT
"Mostly traded 0DTE QQQ options." There are so many strategies, and shit available, fuck you could even buy a stock 1$ less today and sell it 1$ mroe tomorrow. Everyone defaults to the highest risk shit? Eh fuck it, its just numbers on a screen
I feel you, I thought that if QQQ goes up, Bitcoin will catch up fast as well…
S&P futures (SPX), 60% is taxed as long term capital gains/ 40% is short term vs Options which is 100% short term capital gains. S&P and SPX are virtually the same, except add a 0 to the price. Overnight gap is the index’s moving while the market is closed. Buy options at the close to trade the next day. Many hedge funds use SPY/QQQ to hedge overnight gap. Good Luck to you.
Thank you for the tip. I think I’ll use my iPad close by next time What platform do you use if not robinhood? What do you mean by SPX 60/40 tax treatment? Care to elaborate what you mean by overnight gaps on QQQ? Appreciate the feedback
If you’re going to do this, use another platform from a computer. Scalping on Robinhood is not the way, you need hotkeys and fast fills to do this right and scale it. Also, use SPX 60/40 tax treatment. Good Luck. Trading overnight gaps, I use QQQ and wake up pretty happy.
Why is QQQ still showing +1.4% after one month, just shut down this fkn sub
Kudos, best answer here. OP, you might even be lucky and SPY opens higher than $733 on Monday and you make a small profit. I once had some guy exercise an OTM short put on me. Next day, I basically got margin called because I was assigned $300k of QQQ at $594. Mind you, QQQ ended the day at $597 so that was crazy, I was already $3 in profit. As luck would have it, QQQ opened higher at $601 and I managed to sell for a tidy $2,750 of profit after including the broker’s interest of $300 on the $300k I borrowed. Lesson learnt for me was to play the cash settled options like SPX or XSP. SPY and QQQ were too scary for regards like me.
Just realized this week was really bad for the indexes - Spy -2% & QQQ -4%.
The fact that their PE is almost half of Walmart with their main growth drivers up dozens of percent with over half a trillion in legally locked in backlog id say its about as safe as it gets. Half the PE of QQQ and even lower than VOO with better profit growth. Maybe you can say buying at 500 was strained but the 350 range is very much a bargain.
I pulled my entire QQQ position last night and put it into MSFT, today MSFT was up 5% and QQQ was down 1% so I just rotated back with a free 6% QQQ gain. If it hits 355 ill do it again
SPCX add to QQQ 15 days after ipo is not news. Nice try
You degenerates probably didn’t notice IWM is beating QQQ YTD
I’m about to start investing significantly more and looking for any tips. I’ve been putting almost all my extra income into paying off my mortgage as fast as possible, but want to increase my contributions towards investing. Loan rate = 6.125% and I’m hoping I can do better than that with a few etfs. I’ve been doing about $100 per month for less than a year. Would like to increase to $500 per month. I don’t really know what I’m doing, but plan on avoiding stocks (have VOO, QQQ, SCHD) and just making consistent contributions without panic selling. Is having just those few for example relatively safe? What picks do y’all have? Have you observed >6% growth from those over extended periods (want some assurance this is a smart plan rather than putting all my extra income into the guaranteed rate I pay on mortgage)? I’ve only got like 6 months and $600 history, but estimated growth is already VOO 6.3%, SCHD 12.0%, and QQQ 14.0%. I’ve kinda just randomly contributed so perhaps I accidentally timed a couple of those well idk, but 6 months history is a good sign so far and hoping y’all actually see high rates over longer periods.
I lost a lot on them... get rid off it on the first climb and move to QQQ. Life becames 100x easier
The inverse ETF route is the worst version of this for the reason already noted, vol drag compounds against you the longer you hold. If you want a fixed budget crash bet, the structure that actually does what you want is a defined risk long put or put spread on SPY or QQQ, where your maximum loss is the premium by construction and nothing decays past it. A flat long put still bleeds theta and IV though, so if you are paying for the move and not for insurance, a put spread or a put ratio cuts the volatility and time cost a lot. And size it as a hedge ratio against what you already hold, not as a standalone 100k coin flip. The naked directional bet on timing the crash is the part most people get wrong, the structure is the easy part.
Gamma exposure huge on QQQ at 700. If we break below 700 it’s gonna be a waterfall of red Monday. And all these retards are buying calls
Why does the ticker tracker say QQQ is at 637$ LOL
Idk how I'm positive today when QQQ is down 1.5% I must've sucked the right pp in my previous life 🍆🙏
QQQ hit 744 on Monday morning 😬
Scalped every dip on QQQ. Today was awesome
[https://imgur.com/a/o3hKFjV](Looks pretty flat to me. QQQ is not an index)
SPY opens at 700 and QQQ at 670 on monday. Don't be a regard and ape into calls, give it 2-3 days for IV to calm down.
QQQ down 1.5% is not a flat day
Because 5 years down the line, 95% chance you'll be saying "Damn I would've made more money had I just put it in QQQ"
QQQ was diving about 10 minutes before SPY. Should have seen that coming.
Imagine buying QQQ instead of IWM
Looking at QQQ 750c for next week I can hear the green goblin laughing
The only put I had was a long dated 1 year QQQ put to hedge any losses
Should have sold QQQ on the MU pump
I'm in a bit of a similar situation. This can make sense, especially if you have been successfully setting it, forgetting it and are sitting on large taxable unrealized gains you don't want to realize. I like buying long-dated QQQ or SPY puts -- pick the one that looks more like the rest of your portfolio. Like 18 to 24 months out. Outcome is you will either sell for a loss -- a loss that can be used to offset some other gains -- or end up with cash to invest when the market is crashing. There is a price tag, but this is buying insurance in most cases.

Ok QQQ, just drop off the cliff already. You know you want to.
I can't get a beat on QQQ and can't seem to nail down any fucken trend. The moment I did guess right with enough confidence to go in, my coworker came to tell me some stupid fucken story about his lunch and I missed jumping in for a quick 50% gain. Fuck.
QQQ closing below 710 for sure
SPY 725 and QQQ 700 by EoD. There is no happy ending here bols, get out while you can. LMAO

Just bought QQQ 660P 7/31. Wish my luck regarda
Damn QQQ got cooked this week
hey bruh, hows your gamble going? just wanted to report my wide strangle, around 100%+IV has put in around a 10k gain yesterday, I bought those back and rolled into a strangle in October paying around 700 theta with a beta delta hedge on QQQ I mean, today, its around a 2.5k profit but you chose to hunt my post and say i have no idea waht i am doing yet my profits speak for themselves hows your casino bet doing knowing i was the house and will profit for weeks after?
Hey I didnt lie my QQQ puts printed over 140%
how likely is QQQ to hit 720 after lunch is over?
The only place I could imagine putting it is QQQ or SPY and most of my investments are already there. A couple of years ago I took out enough for the down payment on my home. Since then it just sits and I bite my nails every earnings call. I don't have a good answer. I tend to just let things sit forever. When I went into a new stock I just buy it with new money, instead of shuffling around existing investments. Except if a stock I pick sits mostly flat for too long, then I sell that off.
Head and Shoulders look to be forming on SPy and QQQ. More pronounced on IWM. Prepare for a Cease Fire Violating Red Scare Weekend! 🍿🐻
We NEED to be back above 715 on QQQ then it can drop over the weekend so that we dont dip below 700 coming back on Monday
Buying weekly calls on QQQ, markets gonna digest over the weekend and realize MU is actually printing money. Monday green or I’m at Wendys

If you don't buy QQQ calls today you hate money
I just realized SPY & QQQ are really close in share price. Normally there’s a 80-100 spread, is QQQ over valued or SPY under valued? 🤔
Got to love majority of mag 7 in a downtrend yet QQQ propped up on micron and amd
Wish I was braver with my QQQ calls this morning. They're in the hundos now.
Is MSFT just inverse QQQ? This POS always dips when we rip
Value stock ETF up 2% QQQ down 2% Wtf LOL
QQQ double topped puts are free money
Anyone who thinks today will end green is a retard. SPY and QQQ will both end negatively. LEARN TO DO PUTS
My moves for Friday = Puts, puts and more puts. MSFT puts, APPLE puts, QQQ PUTS.
