Everyone loves tech stocks right now. That’s exactly what worries me about the next 10 years.
Everyone is piling into tech, semis and AI stocks. Valuations say the next 10 years of returns will be very low
In 1999 at the peak of the internet bubble, QQQ launched and retail piled in. Then came the 73% drop and 15 years underwater

The S&P 500 is now more concentrated in tech + AI than during the 2000 bubble. Most investors still don’t realize how extreme it is.

Why keep basically anything? Put it in the market, IVV or QQQ, and if you ever need any money, sell!
What’s your strategy for scalping SPY and QQQ? Do you just wait for whichever way it’s trending for that day?
How much you're investing really depends on how much of that income needs to be spent (rent groceries other bills yk) then maybe go half and half with the rest spending money and investing, as for a portfolio split having a strong cash position is good and a moderate portion of your portfolio should be some kind of index fund like VOO or QQQ with low allocations for high volatility stocks or crypto as that can be beneficial but also blow up your portfolio with too high of an allocation, maybe use something like fidelity for your longer term holdings like bonds or gold
I’m up $100 share on a shit ton of QQQ since I bought it earlier this year. Then I had shares took profits on 1/3 of my Googl shares when it topped out a couple months ago. I was selling CC’s too. But then I’ve been betting 2x leveraged ETF’s ON METU, GGLL, BITU and ETU. Most made just not over trading
VOO, SPY, QQQ and keep adding your salary.
I’m up $47k YTD, mainly on GOOGL and QQQ. 🤣
Did this today on QQQ and walked out -61%
When will QQQ be done with its shenanigans
Yea we definitely aren’t full bull run bro!! (QQQ went up 10% in 2.5 weeks)
How you lost money on QQQ and SPY puts?
Someone Just Dropped $700K Betting Against the Nasdaq — $SQQQ Calls Hit the Tape It’s not every day you see a ~$700K call sweep hit $SQQQ — a -3x inverse leveraged Nasdaq-100 ETF built for short-term exposure (decays fast). This order swept 5,366 of the $40 calls expiring 09/04, with 92% of the premium trading at the ASK. That’s aggressive SQQQ call flow — effectively a bearish bet on $QQQ. Could it be a hedge? Absolutely. But given the size, urgency of the sweep, heavy ask-side execution, and availability of other non-fast-decaying hedging instruments, I’m treating this as a high-conviction directional bearish trade unless subsequent flow/OI tells us otherwise. 👀
SPY and QQQ up today just because of tesla LMAO
Clearly, you don’t read the news, catalysts, or recent developments that directly affect QQQ before making informed and accurate decisions. Sorry for your loss
I just went full tilt on TSLA and QQQ Calls. God help me if next week goes badly. Roadster rumors that it will have FSF and take your directly to the moon
retarded trading day!!! I got cheated out of my Tesla 350 calls and then shorted Tesla at 354. Then once I was down 80%, I recovered all of it for a 5% profit on QQQ calls and puts, but mostly calls. That big green candle really evened my losses. Fuck Tesla!
2 hours…QQQ has been +- .2 lmao
After these two utter shit weeks, I'm going to gamble on next week being up. I mean, NVDA can't possibly stay flat/go down after crushing earnings. If it does, at that point, it will have a single digit PE. So, EOW QQQ Calls. Let's go!
$SPY $QQQ At higher 10yr rate, how many buy house and expensive EV-car, when AI doing BigTech layoffs
I said… RE-PIN QQQ TO 713.65 :screech: :screech:
QQQ fighting like hell not to drop back below 50 day moving average lmao
Im full porting QQQ puts right now. Im about to make 500k
How do you find trades and setups like this? I'm down to my last $1500 and all I do is lose money on QQQ 0dte. I'm literally on a 2 month losing streak. I was up nicely ytd in Q2 now all I do is just get chopped to pieces or immediately faded on my entries.
Of the equities sleeve in your portfolio, what percent are you comfy with putting in growth funds like QQQ?
:ahyes: back to the QQQ 713.65 pin
Would you look at that, QQQ pinned right where it opened, what are the odds :derp:
👨: Yeah, can I get a QQQ with a nonsensical pump, but no theta And then can I also get a pin at 715 for no reason into close… :wendys: yeah, I guess
$IWM lets see if my ai bot platform is accurate at all 😂🤌 It's Friday afternoon. 3.5 hours left. IWM sitting at $299.59, below VWAP, already failed the $300 test multiple times today. Friday afternoons in a range regime don't attract heroes. Nobody wants to carry small cap exposure into a weekend when yields are elevated, dollar debasement is the dominant macro narrative, and the index can't hold a round number that's been contested all day. The path of least resistance is a slow bleed into the close. Not a collapse. A drift. $298 handle by 4pm is my base case. Maybe $297 if someone decides to clean out the stops before the weekend. Volume is already thin. SPY is running 0.6M, QQQ 0.2M. Low volume Friday afternoons favor the side with less urgency to act and right now the bulls are the ones with urgency. They need the breakout. The bears just need to wait. The thing that changes that read? If crypto holds these gains into the close and generates genuine risk-on sentiment that bleeds into equities. BTC at $77,300 is a real number. That's not nothing. If that inspires actual buying in the last hour you might see IWM make another run at $300. But even if it does I don't think it closes above it cleanly. The pattern has been touch and reject all day. My actual number. $298.20 close. Give or take. Below $297 today would surprise me given the crypto backdrop. Above $300.50 clean close would tell me I'm wrong about the structure entirely.
I know QQQ gonna close below 710 and no one can convince me otherwise
When does QQQ decide to get its shit together
I started selling put options just a month ago - following a really helpful comment on Reddit. I am trying different strategies: I started with mag-7, and tried QQQ, TQQQ (!), PTC, JPM, DIS, PEP, NEXGEN.
i used to be able to predict QQQ direction to a pretty safe degree, now I am not in sync at all. just going to trade individual company stocks for the near future
$SPY $QQQ $BTC.X probably Crypto industry give money for midterm campaigns, that’s why all crypto discussions and vibes In reality it’s not going anywhere, crypto just trading scam
I sold my QQQ calls for +$95 I didn't want to hold that POS anymore
Take profit hit on QQQ. I'm out
Kind of unusual to see SPY > QQQ. Usually it the other way round being QQQ is all growth & tech.
If you can’t afford QQQ (710 USD) there’s always TQQQ (70 USD). But I wouldn’t advise it.
Options just dont move anymore for SPY or QQQ....Theta eats and you have to scalp
Treasury yields spiking and yet QQQ won’t go below 710
And QQQ is red, so begins the crater into the weekend
So I have a Masters in Regardium from the U of I (University of Incompetency), but does OPEX mean we go down a bit until mid day and then V hammer up to close it out? Probably not, probably Theta fuck or slow bleed another 20-40bps on QQQ.
If QQQ can hit 715 by eod I swear to god I'll never ask for anything ever again
QQQ broke 50day sma yesterday. buckle up
remember when QQQ was up nearly 1% at 9AM :kek: :kek: :kek:
How many down days in a row for QQQ is this
lul, I bought NVDA and QQQ puts this morning
Yep, keep dumping SPY and QQQ. Great stuff guys.
They QQQ puts are making me feel smart
QQQ going for 6th red day in row is really killing my buzz
Selling now is so dumb, QQQ will be +2% on Monday
OMG I got suckered into QQQ calls
Is QQQ 750 EoD too much to ask?
There are options available for stocks trading at $5-20. You would need $500-2000. The point is that the most expensive equities or index/ETFs are more stable than what people call penny stocks, stocks whose price <= $10. That’s why SPY or QQQ are recommended. Penny stocks are risky: you get a good premium but after a few days the price may drop by 30% or even more. How can I know? Because at the beginning it’s what I did! I was just chasing good premiums with stocks <= $20. And I lost money
QQQ price action will be dog water forever
QQQ really about to have 6 red days in a row

Amerifats immediately tank the QQQ
Two things are getting conflated here. SPY gets recommended for liquidity and tight spreads, not because it fits a small account, and you already spotted that owning 100 shares of a 762 dollar underlying is the wrong starting point. The fix is not a cheaper stock, it is defined risk spreads. A put credit spread caps your capital at risk to the width minus the credit, so you are never on the hook for 100 shares, and you can still run it on SPY or QQQ and keep the good liquidity. If you would rather own shares and sell covered calls, then yes drop to a lower priced quality name, but know you are trading away some of that liquidity to do it. One correction on the XSP suggestion above: it is cash settled and gets index tax treatment which is nice, but it is sized to track SPY, so it is not actually cheaper in notional. The lever that lowers your cost is spreads, not the ticker.
This regard actually believes he will make money in the long term scalping SPY and QQQ lol
classic 59385 trades a year and still lose to QQQ
I just need QQQ to do one it’s comically large pumps today
I held QQQ calls overnight. Very regarded but im ITM now 😭 Open the casino so i can get out
That's what they always have said. Yet I bought the QQQ a year or so after I come out and didn't sell and I'm up 1,700 %.
"Right now it feels like everyone is buying the same things: tech stocks, semiconductors, “AI stocks,” Nasdaq 100, QQQ." That's a reflection of your focus, not "everyone" else's. Stop worrying. Keep a well diversified portfolio at all times, including cash, and live your life.
gambling on QQQ to make mcdonalds money isn't even that risky wake me up when some regard here is brave enough to ride the 1m opening candle on NQ that shit will wipe your portfolio in seconds if you pick the wrong side

How can SPY and QQQ get your equity curve that steep
I always bought, never sold a single share of my QQQ. My first purchase of QQQ was November 2002… It worked out pretty well.
Small cap value etf’s are beating QQQ by 5-10% YTD, fun fact
I Started dollar cost averaging into QQQ in November 2002. Initial investment of $100-$200 a month for the next three years through 2006. I bought and held and it’s worked out pretty well.
QQQ -3% and I’ll take a shit on my boss’s desk tomorrow
