QQQ

flyingcrane_toMoon

I learned this lesson hardway. thought I am too smart and went for individual stock. Best to do 50% EFT (SPY, QQQ, VOO) and 30% mega cap (with great business) and 20% cash

if you're asking for an investing advise, you're at the wrong subreddit. Either here's my personal, **NOT A FINANCIAL DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH**, advise. If you're one of those people who like to put things in and forget that it ever existed and come back years later, I'd probably suggest any form of growth ETF or ETF that resembles NASDAQ, S&P, or Dow. The easiest ones that comes to mind (I'm not an expert in these ETFs so you should do your research) are QQQ,SPY,VTI,IWF, and many others. You've mentioned passive income so looking at dividend ETFs might also be an idea that you should think about and do some research on. If you'd like to be a bit more risky there are some 2x or even 3x leveraged ETFs but I'd recommend you not to touch these unless you're going to follow what's happening in the market at least once a week or maybe more. Other regards here will tell you to invest in things like "safer" options, i.e. LEAPs, or crypto or whatever other bags that they're holding but ignore all of them and just take the safe route if you don't know much of what you're doing. With all that said, this is WSB so go all in on 0DTE SPY and blow it all up or go 100x. **Not a financial advise, do your own research!**

I’m net long, but hedging tech with QQQ puts $605 1/30 going into the end of the year. I’m particularly concerned about an AI unwind due to the narrative shifting on capex and associated debt + circular financing in the next few months. Additionally, next week there’s the release of delayed economic data and the FOMC interest rate decision. Any negative surprises (including poor fed outlook/hawkish on rate cut) could be the straw that broke the camel’s back or even a sell the news type event if we just get everything that is expected too lol.

uh I'd pull up the QQQ and IBIT comparison. This is very much a lie lol. The Nasdaq isn't as volatile, but until November, they traded relatively closely together. I don't like that move as a sign of risk.

I hold about 60 individual stocks currently, i like it more than just holding ETFs because you can more easily rebalance and put more money in stocks that are performing well for the year. Same goes for taking profits or losses, you can fairly easily tax loss harvest and sell some worse performing stocks or trim profits from stocks doing extremely well. I just like the ability to more easily manage positions and remain solvent. For reference, im up about 20.5% for the year, so im underperforming QQQ but im out performing SPY and yet im still ~50% cash at any given time. So, in the event theres a huge crash i have plenty of money to mobilize for dips for my long term ETFs that i do hold. I can't speak for everyone but, that's why i like it.

I'm 40 years old this year, and I currently hold shares in Meta, NFLX, Nvidia, and MFST. I don't have any particularly aggressive investments. I'm just looking for long-term, steady growth, and I've recently been paying attention to QQQ and SPY. Do you think I still need to set up my own retirement account?

Options market-makers are harvesting calls, that's why QQQ stays around 625; where the max pain is. It's worse than casino, since dealer knows your cards.

I'm gonna call it. About 15-30mins before the market close there will be a big random spike on QQQ/SPY 👍

Satoshinakamoto99

April, 2025 Bought 300k worth of NVDA, GOOGL, MSFT, AMZN, SPY, QQQ November 2025 Sold all my GOOGL($53k gain), most of NVDA(28k gain with 10k left unrealized), AMZN(13k gain), MSFT(16k gain), and QQQ(12k gain). Roughly $122k realized gains and I paid about 24k in estimated taxes I am still holding SPY, NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, and AMZN (roughly 250k total). I have a lot of cash that I will continue to DCA slowly into SPY and drop larger amounts into individual stocks above when they dip 10% or more

I have QQQ 627... I think you'll join me in my cooking pot

yellowmamba221

first off, QQQ is not going to crash 80-90%. Secondly, even if assigned, you're not going to use more than the 60k cash secured for those shares. No risk of margin call. If assigned, you can sell calls at the same strike - i.e. wheel strategy.

Heres my stock port: SPY (123), QQQ (44), CIBR (131), SMH (31), VTV (54), SCHB (2,320), GOOGL (61) $230,770.

IronyElSupremo

Long term, especially small caps have historically provided superior gains in developed markets (read where Warren Buffett had his best performance annual %-wise in 1950s small caps but then had to go larger by 1960 as his portfolio got too big), … but iirc private equity grabbed a lot of those deals. Some quants aren’t too impressed with emerging mkt small caps either. I like mid-caps, but the mid-cap S&P 400 is very small vs the S&P 500. Also QQQ (the top 100 NASDAQ stocks by mkt cap) is similarly more massive than the next 100 (#101 to 200). Fwiw the Russell 1000 (the top 1000 US stocks) is very, very competitive with the S&P 500, .. but the funds usually have higher fees.

looks like premarket is riding mostly bullish, QQQ leading. BTC dipping a bit, so keep an eye on crypto-related plays. still early.. price momentum fading, so watching puts is smart if the market slows after open.

This dynamic only gets interesting if 10's can pop over 4.2 because the QQQ/TLT tandem doesn't work as it did during the inflation concerns era. That dance got a lot harder after the regional bank festival in early 2023.

Commercial_Horror204

NO one gonna buy at this INSANE high price wake up , you still have time to take all profits and wait for the FUKING SPY QQQ drop

SuperHeroww

You’ve got a pretty concentrated growth/AI tilt on top of broad US and global ETFs, so your overall risk is heavily tied to large-cap tech even though VT and XLU add some diversification. One way to sanity-check your predictions is to look at what portion of your portfolio is in broad indexes (VOO/VT/QQQ) versus single names (NVDA, AAPL, META, DUOL, ANET) and ask how you’d feel if the AI/mega-cap theme underperforms for a few years. VT slowly becoming your top holding will naturally reduce single-stock risk over time, while XLU is a small but useful ballast if rates stay lower. If you want to visualize how much of your portfolio is really in US tech versus other sectors and regions, a tool like [WizardFolio.com](http://WizardFolio.com) or any ETF look-through site can help you see the underlying exposures more clearly.

QQQ up/flat and btc crash .same as always lol

Bannedfrompopeyes

Well I guess in sequences of 10, 15, 20 years you’re not wrong. You could have simply gone all-in on the most basic index funds in 2005, and even though you slugged through 2008, 2020, parts of 2022 you would still be up 500% ish on the S&P alone. Stuff like Gold you’re looking at closer to 800% ish, QQQ maybe 1,500%+. So if you could wait 20 years and contribute to your account maybe bi-weekly with some pocket change that could turn into your retirement money. Start it at 25, by 45 you could have enough to retire years before your colleagues. Assuming this country can sustain itself for 20 more years, if you’re 20+ years away from retiring, setting aside what you can to tuck away can hedge you against this mess of an economy. The market will have some seriously sucky moments, just like it did a bunch of times before. But usually those are historically the best buying opportunities possible. I know this is a troll lmao, but it’s funny how you mention “nothing can bring down this market” when the mere reappearance of Michael Burry and “AI Bubble” talk in the news made the fear and greed index hit near-record crap numbers.

totosea

If you are looking at the past X years, you are looking at the period of the US tech boom, so QQQ/VTI will always be better than VT or VXUS. However, there have been periods where international markets outperformed the US stocks, see [https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/18jtye4/us\_and\_international\_markets\_have\_moved\_in\_cycles/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/18jtye4/us_and_international_markets_have_moved_in_cycles/), most recently 2000-2010. Their relative performance heavily depends on the start & end date you are looking at. I still believe in the United States and buy VTI, but it is totally reasonable to buy VT or VTI/VXUS if you want to invest in the equity market without worrying about all the macro and geopolitical issues.

internetroamer

I'm not chasing just returns. I'm chasing best risk adjust returns. Nvidia could be negative for a decade and any single stock is too risky. QQQ or large cap US has consistently outperformed world market ETFs for decades and decades. Underlying principals that caused this to happen don't seem to be changing in next 5 years.

misterbluesky8

This is so dumb that I'm getting more regarded by reading it. Richard Branson plays tennis and goes windsurfing every day on his island. You think Jeff Bezos is miserable? The real flex is retiring early and traveling or doing whatever you want. The richest guy I know is probably worth 10-20M and retired at 58 to travel the world with his wife. He trades the markets and does whatever he wants every day. By placing ridiculous bets, you're actively ensuring you stay poor. Every day, you're giving your money to thetagang. I honestly think what I did will work for many people: buy SPY until you hit 100 shares, then sell OTM covered calls. Use that money and any new money coming in to place degenerate bets to your heart's content. Then you'll never be poor, and if you lose every bet, you've still got 100 shares of SPY and can sell covered calls. Rinse and repeat with QQQ, DIA, VOO, etc. I have a portfolio that generates options income that I can YOLO into whatever I want. Or just do the opposite of what OP says.

Hosstar881

Glad I don’t know how to do this. I’ll just sit on my VOO and QQQ.

blorg

[$100,000 in QQQ January 2000 = $776,440 now](https://testfol.io/?s=6tNystELyMy). There are of course individual stocks that didn't really come back, and many that went bust, but the sector as a whole did OK in the long run.

internetroamer

Tech etfs would still have had a much much better return. >if you’re so bullish on QQQ, why not go TQQQ I'm a long term investor and TQQQ isn't the best for long term. Because downturns can be catastrophic whereas with tech etfs you can still weather them given the time. Go through 2008 with tqqq and you're done. >The point of VT is to set it and forget it. I set and forget tech etfs like QQQ, MGK, VUG, IGM. Over ~20% annualized return over my portfolio career of 8 years Again if you're in your 20s, 30s and 40s with 10+ years working ahead of you then VT is way too overly cautious But we'll see in hindsight. Like we can look back now and say VT was objectively half the returns of qqq past 5 years and so the wrong decision. Lmk in 2030

thesunriseking

Now do what you’d gain if you had $70k and went all in on VT vs all in on VOO with all dividends set to reinvest and added $100 to your position each month. And if you’re so bullish on QQQ, why not go TQQQ? The point of VT is to set it and forget it.

internetroamer

I never get this vs large cap tech ETF. YTD VT is 16.5% YTD QQQ is 22% YTD IGM tech ETF is 28.8% Same trend for past 15 years. I get "risk" is an issue but realistically they will both tank in a downturn and plan is to hold for over a decade anyways. 6% different is huge and even a couple years of such performance and make up for any future downturns. Past 5 years has tech etfs doing 2x the return of VT.

esInvests

I trade both largely. there are specific profit mechanisms that appear in each asset class. for example, i like to maintain covered strangles in index ETFs like QQQ, IWM, TQQQ, IBIT, etc. these serve as a core position that I trade options around and trend follow with momentum. individual stocks is where I trade things like breakouts, breakdowns, earnings volatility, etc.

If yall are young why don't you just let an index tracker like QQQ (NASDAQ) or VOO (S&P) rock and keep throwing money in? Timing the market does not work. An index tracker works, period.

LunkerDunker13

My slightly unique macro view and a request for how to position myself: The US Government has been taking advantage of the power of the dollar to inflate their way out of debt (and to fund their pet projects) while the entire world helps pays the bill. As a result, I'm bullish VOO as the best hedge against/in this scenario BUT I think valuations are stretched insanely thin and any sort of hiccup, world event, or Mamdani style 2028 Presidential candidate emerging as a possibility, could set off a historic run for the exits. I'm middle aged, debt free, wealthy, have/had major risk appetite but honestly am happy with what I have and would like to preserve capital. I'm currently like 15% commercial real estate (my business property), 5% single family home, 5% speculative, 30% VOO/QQQ, 45% bonds. I'm still earning a high income so my bond interest is getting hit hard and I don't need the dividend. I guess right now I'm waiting for an opportunity to stack more VOO but I feel that mindset is a sure-fire top signal. What do you guys think? TIA :)
