QQQ

AlphaHarmony

kinda what I was thinking, but QQQ closed below the weekly 20sma, so I've been definitely preparing for downside...

Sick0h

What would make the most sense is that NVDA has a huge miss and absolutely rockets SPY to 715 and QQQ to 650 because that would make the least sense.

DoinIt4DaShorteez

It really comes down to risk tolerance. I'm kinda risk-averse, so when I was still buying, I would buy equal numbers of **shares** of SPY and QQQ each time. QQQ is 60% tech. VOO and SPY are 40%. So QQQ boosted my overall tech allocation/weighting while not feeling like I was going overboard.

PYPL is dead. It’s held by SPY and QQQ aa an immaterial volume, which is by design for an ETF. If it goes to zero, or more quickly, gets kicked off, then it is sold. And if I as a user gets $600, who is paying for it? The shareholder of PYPL. Or in your case - the bag holder.

Outside of Delta, gamma (a little) , and theta which tells you how much you should make or lose everyday if nothing happens, why do you thing it matters. If you think charts are going to help you , you are really lost. I think you would do a lot better tracking the premiums on 15-30 delta options when we have 100 pt Selloffs, and how they change over the 10days after . Try the Spy , QQQ.

YamRepresentative547

Right now the Nasdaq keeps failing to break its highs and the trend has turned downward. For the past two years, every time I bought QQQ at positions like this, it eventually turned into a loss. I still believe the Nasdaq ultimately goes up over the long term. For now, I think the best strategy is to maintain cash reserves. More opinion is here "google - Nasdaq Crash 2026: What Should You Actually Do Right Now?"

As someone who works in the tech field, I think tech will be massive for the foreseeable future so im all in on VOO and QQQ. Don't care about metals or international markets with low returns. Im young so got plenty of time to cook.

PaperHandsTheDip

I agree. IMO it's an overreaction to the tech sector. If you remove AI from MSFT - it's still in value territory imo. There's been a massive rotation from tech -> value in fears of a crash happening. What occured is that actually caused big tech to crash and value to get pumped. SPY went sideways, QQQ went down slighlty, but some legit / large / valuable companies got rekt. I'm seeing 20-40% down on some solid companies -- MSFT being one.

olearygreen

Internet stocks like GOOG, META, AMZN blew up too, just to the moon. I’m hearing what you say, but as long as you take profits and are OK not picking the winners, you got to take some risk to find a winner. I had some RKLB before it was cool. I sold 3x what I paid and still have half my portfolio in it. Should I sell more? Probably yes, sold some covered calls instead. But at some point you got to believe in a company or you should just stick with SPY and QQQ, but then you don’t need to be on this sub. I am concerned about Reddit putting too much emphasis on the crazy valuation stocks, as you mentioned, but I’m not sure how to change that if we’re trying to find the winners?

UnSeriousMarkets

OK thanks, this makes sense to me. I usually trade SPY or QQQ and the recent volatility makes it so that I can exit way before expiration. I've just heard things like, "Even if you're a penny over your short leg strike price by expiration, you get 100% of the gains EZ."

TaoZenQi369

why voo? buy QQQ and write 10 delta calls or covered strangle to earn some income from those shares.

seekChristnow

Focus on college and securing a decent job after graduation. Nowadays it’s not just graduate and walk into a nice office job, especially with AI. You should be researching internships or how to get a job over trading. You can still trade on the side with money you don’t mind losing but just know penny stocks are always a gamble. You’d probably feel better learning to swing trade ETFS like SPY/QQQ if you’re passionate about trading. But seriously, I’m not trying to knock you I’m just looking out for you. This time is crucial for you to set yourself up for stable income in the future. With stable income and investing, you could generate much safer and probably larger returns than penny stocks.

SQQQ is a general negative expected return, the TQQQ strategy I use simply calls for deleveraging when QQQ goes under its 200SMA into QQQ and more bonds and gold

lavenderviking

So SPY 350, QQQ 300 is where I’d be looking for a long entry

WizardOfWires

Significant drop on SPY, QQQ, and DIA. Select semiconductor / SMH up during next 45 days.

katrav86

quick question: how low is the QQQ supposed to drop this time around? asking because i am going to purchase QQQ shares and set what's called a LIMIT order. just read some good books about how to make money in the stock market

katrav86

All I've been doing lately is staying long /NQ and shorting shares of the QQQ from time to time to avoid losing monies. feels old school as fuck

CriticalBlackberry90

I agree with QQQ calls at Wed close but any particular reason you're going with SPY instead of QQQ puts at Thurs close?

BobtheChemist

Investing part of the cash will generate more future wealth, and you can always keep part in cash (SGOV, etc) for emergencies. If you put part into growth, like IVV, QQQ, SPY, IYM, etc, some into dividends like VIG, VYM, SCHD, or such, and then keep adding to it as you can. But you will earn 2000+ a year with any luck, and still have some cash for emergencies. But it will not ay the entire rent any time soon.

Just_Candle_315

Zoom out it's actually on the way down growth stocks like SCHG, VUG, VOOG, and QQQ which are supposed to perpetually increase **ALL** had ATHs on Oct 29, 2025 and have been creeping down ever since.

StrifeRaZoR

I've always wondered if the big ETFs can experience the same type of Gamma and Vega squeezes that other tickers go through. I'm too lazy to dig too deep into it and the liquidity flow for something like SPY has confounded me. I know that MM's and brokers need to hedge derivatives by buying and selling shares, but what breakpoint needs to be hit to see some seriously crazy action on something like SPY or QQQ?

growmysmallportfolio

But ads should bring more revenue + addition of WBD seems to be a great long term investment. I don’t think it’s a multi bagger just a better option compared to just buying SPY or QQQ

xShiftfaced

I’m thinking that I’m going to stay away from QQQ and SPY until the rollover is over and the trend is more obvious. I’ve been looking at GLD charts, I believe gold will be trading like the S&P and Nasdaq has in the insane bull run we’ve seen up until we started going range bound the past 5ish months. Gold is bullish and it’s easier to call the bottoms. Although I do think tech is due for a relief bounce. Closed Friday right above $600 and if you go back on the 6 month chart, closing above $600 on draw downs has been a lucrative bet on upward momentum. Let me know what you think.

How often is Edward Jones making any changes to your portfolio to justify you paying them anything? At 32, unless you have some unexpected life events (which ED Jones wouldn't be able to anticipate anyway), you can just be on autopilot and make a couple of tweaks every 5 years or so as you get closer to retirement. You could move your whole portolio "as is" directly to another broker. And then control it yourself and pay nothing. Most people just use a handful of index ETFs like VOO and QQQ. If you're happy with how the portolio has performed, you can just transfer it somewhere else and then just leave it alone while you get yourself up to speed on what you might want to do differently.

Going going to post some weekend research for the degens. All I study is price action on the one hour charts I think they can be used to trade options and stock with 1000% as an edge. One hour chart show the momentum from the microstructure regime of the underlying price action. Using trend lines and some basic book learning, you can easily spot situations on major indices or stocks where they basically automatically go up the next day or for the next 2/4 days. Go look at a 1H price chart, and find an instance where price opens inside the 20 EMA during pre market. If it’s inside the 20 EMA and 50 EMA…it’s a rocket ship at open. Example AMT recently, a REIT…..last Monday. Opened inside the 20 / 50 EMA on the 1H chart Monday morning. Went up +11% and 4 strikes Monday to Friday . A fucking REIT went parabolic and can be traded with a 1H chart. That exact same pattern is everywhere. $0.7 Feb 20 $185 call sold for $8.3 NBIS Friday opened inside the 20/50 EMA on the 1H , went up +9%. QQQ last Friday and Monday on the 1H charts. Friday to Monday went up like +3% if you held. Each day opened inside the 20 EMA and then the 20/50 EMA.

If you're saying that you only have 6 more years to invest and are needing to start withdrawing that money in that time, I would sell off some of your high risk holdings (at a profit) or at least have an exit strategy for these (stop loss or trailing stop loss limit orders). Start looking into investing into income and dividend positions instead of high risk growth. SCHD is a major part of my portfolio and although the returns don't look as sexy as SPY and QQQ (which I also hold because my risk tolerance is high and time horizon long), the plan is to buy hold forever, and live off the dividend income in about 20 years. The S&P 500 is overvalued and a correction is inevitable at some point. I think we're seeing the earl warning signs now \* this is not financial advice ;)

Complex-Jello-2031

1 SCHD is for over 40you need growth 2 i like QQQM for long term hold QQQ is for trading 3 replace SCHD with international I like VXUS but other are good also

xShiftfaced

I don’t believe we continue down on Tuesday. Look at the past 5 months when QQQ held $600. It’s like a coiled spring setting up for a bounce the next day. Yesterday would have needed break support to continue the down trend and it didn’t. It just wiped out the whole day.

Stereophonic

Just SPY but you could do QQQ and have similar results.

VisualWeek5189

honestly you’re already doing a lot right. getting the full employer match and investing consistently at 20 is a huge advantage by itself, so you’re ahead of most people. the only thing i’d point out is overlap. VOO and QQQ already have a lot of the same big tech names, so you’re pretty concentrated in large-cap growth whether you realize it or not. SCHD adds some dividend exposure but it’s still mostly US large caps. not necessarily bad, just something to be aware of. also your 401k being a target date fund already gives you broad diversification and automatic rebalancing, so you don’t necessarily need to get too fancy in the Roth IRA unless you want a specific tilt. if your goal is simple long-term retirement investing, honestly the biggest factor is just keeping contributions high and sticking with it. allocation tweaks matter way less than consistency over the next 30–40 years.

Correct. Not a coincidence bitcoin stopped falling at 70k, ETH at 2k, Tesla at $400, QQQ at $600, MSFT at $400 etc. Everything bounced at their perfect supports 

mayorolivia

I have a feeling Nvidia becomes dead money this year which is kind of a good thing. The market has accepted its here to stay and is treating it like a mature and stable company. It’s had very little volatility in recent months unlike the past 30 years where it could swing violently in either direction. That being said, I expect it to continue to easily outperform QQQ over the next 3-5 years.

Mish61

It's not constructive that we are in a period of index divergence. Market tops are a process and we have been at inflection points a few times. QQQ and NASDAQ have been rejected at converged 50/21 and is in a weak position relative to it's consolidation range. DOW and IWM are still holding up above their 50/21. QQQ and NASDAQ need to make a new high to end the divergence and instead rallies are being sold. The odds are not in a continuation's favor.

QQQ is the fudd favorite etf this year

TheGambler1987

What’s interesting is yesterday QQQ ended up +0.15%, but the underlying company market caps dropped by USD200bn (-0.55%). Makes me wonder if some high rollers are getting out and manipulating QQQ to still show it flat/up to avoid panic?…

shaff1263

I joined Jeff Z's option alerts three days ago. He only trades three indexes the SPY, QQQ and IWM. So far he has given me 4 winners with a one maxing out at 800% if you stayed in position to the end. He does claim he loses and tells subscribers to use a 50% stop. $2,995 for 3 years. 4 picks is a very small sample size but so far so good.

LAM, KLAC, ASML, TSM, Micron, Sandisk, KORU (play on samsung/skhynix). These companies will win regardless of who ultimately wins the AI race. Honestly you could just buy SMH or CHAT or QQQ and be fine.

Don’t worry too much about the expense ratio at this point. They are pretty negligible. The expense ratio on QQQ is .18%, but I’d rather have it and pay the fee than not own it.

BeneficialSyllabub71

Before transferring another $60k, ask the advisory firm what their exact strategy is and what their fees are. If they’re just going to put you in VOO/QQQ, you can do that yourself.

DoinIt4DaShorteez

That all sounds fine in general. I wouldn't have too much allocated to SCHD at age 20. If it's more than 30% of your Roth, I'd probably trim it down to 10% and split the proceeds between VOO and QQQ.

Domefieldadvantage

Spy and QQQ up but GOOG, AMZN, NVDA, and MSFT down makes perfect sense

steady_compounder

You're 20 and already investing. That's the hardest part done honestly. One thing worth knowing, VOO and QQQ have massive overlap. QQQ's top holdings are basically VOO's top holdings too. You're doubling down on large cap US tech which is fine if that's intentional. At your age I'd keep it simple. VTI + VXUS in the IRA and let the target date fund handle the 401k. Compounding over 45 years does the heavy lifting.

I lost $13000 today playing 0DTE options and chickening out when I was assigned a 2/20 QQQ call when the index crashed late. From $75000 at the beginning of the year to only $60000 left in my account. My goal was reaching $95000. I'm about to be replaced by AI so if I lag behind these goals I'm cooked Fuck my fucking life, man. Fuck my fucking life...

ButterRollercoaster

SPY’s flat YTD, QQQ’s down 3%, and the Russell… is *up* 6%?!

stratify-dev

Since you're getting different perspectives here, let me add some practical context: The overlap between VOO/QQQ/SCHD is real - you're basically triple-weighting Apple, Microsoft, etc. For tax efficiency in your Roth, I'd lean toward gradually rebalancing rather than selling everything at once (though in tax-advantaged accounts, this matters less). On international: historically, having 20-30% international helps with risk-adjusted returns. The US has crushed it for 15+ years, but cycles change. Something like VTIAX or VTI+VXUS gives you that global diversification without the complexity. The "keep it simple" crowd has a point too - 100% VOO isn't terrible at your age. Your 401k target date fund already gives you some international exposure anyway. Bottom line: any of these approaches beats not investing at all. Pick something you understand and stick with it. You can always evolve your strategy as you learn more. The consistency matters more than perfect optimization.

This is the worst case scenario. We clearly need a clean flush on QQQ and SPY. The longer this shit keeps playing out like this, the harder it is to trade. One big flush, and we can go up again, but this PA here is fucking awful.

Roll-Annual

Others have commented on your tech-heavy investments. You’re also in most specific stocks and not ETFs. There are ideological arguments around that, but generally ETFs are stabler.  Another consideration is your investing horizon, are you looking for maximum near-term growth, stable long-term growth, or maximum near-term stability? If you want diversity, consider adding non-US ETFs (Vanguard VEA), less-tech dominant value-companies (Vanguard VTV), diversified US ETFs (VOO or VTI). There are also thematic ETFs (energy, infrastructure, consumer staples, defense). And hedges (commodities, non-US ETF, etc) if you aren’t bullish on US dollar.  If you want a hands-off approach, target-date investment funds.  An advisor is highly likely to move away from single-stocks (for the most part) and prefer ETFs because of the inherent risk mitigation associated with them. You likely don’t need to pay for an advisor unless (1) you can’t stop yourself from trading and you want to, (2) you want someone actively trading for you, or (3) you’re really trying to maximize near-term returns and willing to have someone be risky. Outside of those conditions, you’re likely better off with low-fee ETFs, index, or target-date funds.  Personally, I’m pretty near-ish on the current US market valuations and I’ve done extremely well with gold-ETF (IAU), defense ETF (NATO), and non-US ETF (VEA + Fidelity equivalent) and very so-so with VTI, QQQ, and US-growth stocks. But that’s recency bias and potentially not reliable in 2026 and beyond.
