QQQ

Creepy_Plastic4809

I actually think it’s a good idea EXCEPT for the naked part Of cos, this assumes that QQQ is a good etf to hold for long term if needed Any reason why QQQ is not a good long term holding? Of cos something like the Great Depression number 2 can happen but I think long term it should be ok? Ww3 could break out tomorrow and we are all dead

QQQ 1,000 when? 👉👈

KSFL

I was looking at 1DTEs and were still more than I wanted to risk I’ll check out 0DTEs. Wish I had it in me to do more than a few hundred on weekly’s lol. Like this week got 10 QQQ 615 1DTE(2/27) @ 0.30 Thursday.

KSFL

Good idea didn’t even think of micros thanks for that. I don’t gamble a lot on weekly expirations so was just doing QQQ with few hundred of play money since NDX is so expensive.

Odd-Block-2998

Department of War is surely efficient. SPY +3% on Monday, rip my QQQ puts and OXY calls.

Chrizzle87

Right now, Bitcoin is up 1.75%. The Nasdaq-100 beta with respect to BTC is \~0.15. Meaning, QQQ could be up 0.26%

I run multiple concurrent strategies on SPX - one of them is 9:30-9:45 opening range breakout. Feb 23rd was a great day. From the 5m chart, using your strategy, it looks like there wasn't a pull back to enter on. I've updated my algo to also do this on QQQ, but I'm only using quantity=2 for now. You are trading 10+?

misterbluesky8

Holy crap they really did it 😱 I’m not even going to trade individual tickets off this, just going to see if I can sell some 0DTE covered calls on SPY/DIA/QQQ when vol spikes

Monday +2% QQQ LFGGGGG

DiamondG331

Yesterday I added the 3/4 QQQ $620/$621 $590/$589 spread for $.28. That’s about average for QQQ $15 OTM. For SPY I can get $.45+ $15 OTM so I will generally trade SPY. IWM $10 OTM is usually $.20.

DiamondG331

That’s how I started with options as well CSPs but it was using huge capital to yeah pick up $20-$30/day. FWIW, Monday you can setup an iron condor on QQQ for 3/6 (or whichever date you prefer). If you went $20 OTM, and sold the the $625/$626 call credit spread and the $585/$584 Put spread, you would get roughly $20, risking only $80. Do 20 of those, hold a day and you should be able to close them out for $10-$12. Make about $200, but risking much less. You can of course multiply that out but it’s 30-50% gains.

ReelGoated

TQQQ alrdy hit 20% from most recent highs. QQQ is around 6%….

DiamondG331

You could hypothetically make much more by buying shares of dividend stocks and ETFs with that capital but I would wait for a massive sell off. FWIW, I generated about $9000 this month from my condor strategy - though a portion was from a gable on NVDA - it worked, but without that it was still over $6k, and I absolutely used and risked far less capital. You can make that amount from iron condors with less than $5k. Stress will take years off your life, literally, so even though it’s working, if you’re losing sleep or worrying, ain’t worth it! .014 delta on QQQ is risking $56k to make $20?! Credit spreads and condors are your best risk reward option plays.

Samjabr

I'm guessing my QQQ calls are dead but my SLV calls might save me

Mean_Bumblebee1945

I hold 28 CFD shorts on QQQ futures. They will be up 9.2k by opening tomorrow. Will sell immediately.

Physical_Mechanic206

I sell puts (CSP) but -0.014 delta is usually pretty safe on QQQ, SPY, IWM. Just to give idea, for QQQ -0.014 delta strikes are 565, 560, 550, 540 from 3rd to 6th of March. I usually roll max $450k to $480k tied up to option every week only to make $2400 - $3200 a month. When DTEs expire, I do next days -0.014 strikes so it keeps rolling utilizing more cash entire week. It is stressful and risky for sure and I don’t like my method.

Physical_Mechanic206

Thanks again. This makes sense and very manageable at these ranges. I will give it a test on paper and see my outcome this week. For sure not an ideal week to test with ongoing war but worth to test and experience that. I am total noob on options at moment. All I do is every Friday I sell 2 puts for next tue, wed, thu, fri at -0.014 delta on Think or swim for QQQ, SPY and IWM and keep repeating this in parallel again Monday to Friday with 2 puts at -0.014 delta -and targeting like $600 - $800 a week rolling the money. Tho for that amount of money, stress and daily effort, I have a feeling I can make similar money just from dividend stocks with less risk. Needed a different options approach than mine🙏

Mean_Bumblebee1945

My QQQ puts will print so hard on Monday

Got_Engineers

I noticed Thursday and Friday there is a shit ton of volume on puts for next week. You could see more volume on put on the SPY and QQQ on NTM or OTM strikes. Next Friday NVDA expiration had more out volume than call volume yesterday. Over 214k volume on the $150 NVDA tails and they were entirely purchased near close….. You can add option contracts to trading view and see volume details and price action. Volatility has been increasing, realized volatility has increased, volatility in general has been very sticky and not gone anywhere. Correlation index has been spiking +30% for back to back days, dispersion decreasing, volatility increasing. Single stock volatility is at extreme highs making IV% very rich across single stocks. Last week QQQ traded in a $0.71 range. The market moved no where yet saw massive gains and losses but bubbling correlation and volatility. On the daily calendar QQQ been below the 8/20/50 EMA. Closing below common metrics for equilibrium and trend. The information and clues are right there in front of you people.

Hmm… So my QQQ Calls are prob toast. But maybe my SLV Calls will save me?

AndThisGuyPeedOnIt

Yeah, I got tanker company calls, QQQ puts, SPY puts, aerospace shares, etc.​

I got some QQQ 600 for Monday; let’s see if they pay out. Who knows in this market

DayTradr07

The capital flowing into oil suggests that we may be heading for a challenging situation for the Nasdaq (QQQ). In 2022, tech stocks was down by 30%, while oil surged by 60%, with companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron seeing increases of over 80%. Therefore, it's essential to plan accordingly, considering investments in gold, silver, and copper.

TickTockTaudit

I had QQQ puts last time we bombed Iran. Remember that? Not very long ago we bombed Iran. Didn’t work out. Now we’re bombing them again and I have calls. Not going to work out.

MitchCurry

Considering selling my SNOW position and putting the funds in AVDV, AVUV, QQQ, and VOO. Data warehousing is commoditized and competition from Databricks and the big 3 (Microsoft, Amazon, Google) and others will only increase. Will Cortex AI win out? Will Snowflake become the App Store for data as they are intending?

EvolvingDior

VYMI smokes VXUS. VGT smokes QQQ. Add GLD.

TreGet234

Best boglehead split with a slight amount of regardation? I think mixing QQQ, VT and VXUS depending on how much US vs international expusure you want. Can even add a small/midcap USA etf (though i don't like russel 2000), i don't know which etf though as i would prefer active screening for solid fundamentals. (VT does seem to have all cap expusure) For the regardation i'm thinking metals/uranium miners, SMH, korea/taiwan/brazil index, space or defense etf, even bitcoin or fintech etf. Any other interesting etf plays? I may even consider tips bonds if you think a huge crash is imminent but i think i will just hold a larger cash position in hysa/0 month tbills. Not liking leverage right now tbh. Stock market looks funky. American market weak af and ex-usa market in its own valuation bubble. I can see it blowing up one way or the other soon even without ai unraveling.

> Cui bono? The beneficiaries are the insiders, such as founders who float 5 per cent instead of 20 per cent, or management teams whose options and restricted stock appreciate as post-IPO prices are supported by index buying. The underwriting banks will have no complaints, either, as their economics depend on deal completion and, sometimes, valuation. > Whom don’t these changes benefit? Index-tracking investors — such as retail savers owning the QQQ exchange-traded fund — look like the proverbial bagholders. The rules turn them into mechanical, post-“pop” buyers.

TreGet234

Maybe some bitcoin but that's fairly risky. 4 year cycle says the next cycle top shouöd be september 2029. That also makes me believe there won't be a recession that year. Hard to say though if the ai bubble doesn't pop in the next year or two. Gold (and maybe gold miners) is good too, 10k/oz may actually happen. SMH and QQQ if you believe in tech. (With leverage there are SOXL and TQQQ but any crashes in the meantime could hurt them a lot). VT as a boring global stock but it's unlikely to do crazy numbers. There are are UFO, JEDI and SHLD for the space and war plays. URNM for uranium. Really hard to say...

USO, VXX calls & SPY, QQQ puts here

tortu995

QQQ might do an oil 2020 special and go negative, LOL

Plastic_Heat_5797

!banbet QQQ -5% 2w

2CommaNoob

Ehh, had a feeling it was coming but I need this to simmer well into Monday morning or my 600 QQQ puts are cooked. I have a feeling this will be a nothingburger and we open flat on Monday and thetagang rapes me again.

DiamondG331

I’ve lost so much money trading the Nasdaq/QQQ. It’s all the same strategy just go $100 OTM. But you’ll collect more premium Selling 10 $1wide QQQ condors than 1 $10 wide NDX.

Mean_Bumblebee1945

I hold QQQ shorts over the weekend. Am I in trouble?

TomatoSpecialist6879

Yeah pretty much the entire Wall St are flooding to Nikkei, it's pretty much why US equities like SPX and QQQ has been stagnant and range bound for the last 4 months. Dow has been stuck at 48k-49k as well since Jan as Nikkei took off.

S-S-spartan

0DTE QQQ options. 🧐

katrav86

I asked AI if the QQQ will ever recover and gemini said that this correction is normal and "actually bullish" lol@ gemini using that shitty phrase "actually bullish"

Impressive-Mud-3362

SPY and QQQ did react after hour

UnluckyTrader21

I put in the max ask on all three of my calls and it still didn’t fill, I most likely didn’t wait long enough for them to get filled. But I won’t be too down about it, I’m sure there will be many plays later in the year, got bombed on spy and QQQ so I was looking for this one. If my contracts got filled I’d be looking at a 55k gain. I don’t lose anything either so that’s a win in my book 🤣

0DTEKing

This week was good for 0DTE SPY and QQQ

Gom_KBull

There so many obv easy gains around today. But so many dumbass bols staying in NVidia, SPY,QQQ, GOOG, etc like stupid domesticated turkeys staring up at the sky, mouth wide open during a rain.

JayRock1970

What are everyone's thoughts on stock rotation. Like moving out of VOO, QQQ etc into industrial, utilities, infrastructure, materials, consumer? Or do you just wait the tech slump out?

InvincibleRoman

This market is dropping faster in AH than during the trading day!!!  Lets go 590 on QQQ!!!

hiphopanonomos

Switched to international ETFs late last year and already up over 20% Im so glad I ditched SPY and QQQ

RobinhoodtraderBTC

I actually am invested in the S&P for my 401K retirement fund but the QQQ is fund is more of a ‘grow my money in the short term’ fund.

RobinhoodtraderBTC

Never a bad time to invest in QQQ unless we’re moments away from a stock market crash

Prudent_Contribution

Imagine you had just put all of it into VOO or QQQ every paycheque. Probably have like 150k right now

Holding QQQ 607 puts 3/14 over the weekend let’s see what shakes out

spudbro00

\+65k today swinging QQQ and MSFT puts / calls, left 40 on the table, sucks. Steak and lobster weekend instead of ramen

ksyoung17

Wish I was better with AI so I could really show myself how many days SPY/QQQ establish a range in the first hour, and that's where we end the day.

MitchCurry

I opened a position in UBER and added to AVDV, AVUV, QQQ, and VOO.

InvincibleRoman

`!banbet QQQ -2% 4d`

Bossanova12345

Not the time to buy VOO. I focused on AI Infrastructure and energy. The picks and shovels of AI. Doing ok. I don’t expect the Mag 7 to do much this year. And they make up like half of VOO and 60% QQQ.

teamyg

Okay, shorted QQQ at 607.5; what a deal.

AlphaHarmony

would be sweet. Max pain on the QQQ is $610, so we'd make it back above the 20ema on the weekly, would be a sweet way to end the month...

Full_Muffin7930

Oh yeah sure VIX rising, treasury yields tanking, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, etc. tanking but QQQ GO UP!!!

hioman01

QQQ pumps while NVDA dumps of course

Clueless5001

Management fees from the plan are virtually nothing. I pay $3 a quarter and the management fees from the fund are pretty reasonable too, I avoided the ones that were high. I do not HAVE to move them, I would like to move them and would find it beneficial in the long term but not to the tune of losing $2000 I put in in November and other money I put in recently. I do not see a reason to move them at a loss unless the market was about to crash These do not track any index and even the index they use as a reference, one of the Russells, the result did not align with the outcome yesterday. The index thing works when you have something that is the mutual fund version of VOO or QQQ, it does not work when it is a proprietary mix

ButtholeAnalogy

So many puts at QQQ 600 for weeks, they aren't ever gonna let it go down lol

SunriseSurprise

Cathie Wood in a nutshell. Literally happened to pick the right stuff at the right time once (mostly TSLA), rode it into the ground, and while all the sort of stuff that would make up ARKK has mostly recovered to ATH or not far off and QQQ is up nearly 100% in 5 years, ARKK is down 44% in 5 years. Why tf anyone listens to her anymore is beyond me.

TernTheNumbers

QQQ full of boomer stuff like pepsi.

Ok_Cry7572

Nasdaq consists of all Nasdaq stocks, QQQ consists of the top 100 Nasdaq stocks

ten7four

Sorry if this is a retarded question but if the nasdaq index is down -1.3% then why is QQQ only down -0.7%

Crazy_Donkies

And suddenly QQQ is a hedge against inflation. Not common to see QQQ drop less than SPY.

SarcasticTrumpet

A solana shitcoin has more sound fundamental and transparent movement than QQQ at this point

angrybubblez

QQQ needs to hit 600 for this to be a great weekend. At least 603 please

greyenlightenment

btc dumping even as QQQ recovers. shorting btc is quite literally the easiest money ever from 15 years of trading and investing

teamyg

Just kept shorting QQQ around 606.5; nice.

teamyg

Adding more QQQ short at 605.7; building up the hedge.

teamyg

Kept shorting QQQ around 605.3, see you at 590+ next week.

joe4942

QQQ still red YTD.

knoqd_

How is QQQ only down 0.7%

teamyg

Shorted more QQQ at 605.4, market could crash into close.

ebitdasga

What is holding QQQ up? I feel like everything i own is getting crushed

AndThisGuyPeedOnIt

SPY puts, QQQ puts, defense industry shares, tanker calls purchased. Let's get this party started.

Euphoric-Guess-1277

QQQ tracks Nasdaq 100 not Nasdaq Composite

Kachowxboxdad

Not everyone in Nasdaq is in QQQ

teamyg

Shorted more QQQ at 605.8; will see 590 next week.

OnceALoser

I may not be that smart but why is Nasdaq down 1.2% but QQQ which tracks it is down only 0.6%

drew-gen-x

My port is up +0.46% today while $SPY and $QQQ are both bloody RED. Keep those downvotes coming while I continue to talk & buy non US tech stocks.

DanielzeFourth

They make up 13% of the QQQ which is impressive for 2 companies. But nog enough to have that large of an influence, unless they drop by 5% or more. NVIDIA opened -2%, Amazon opened -0,5%. QQQ opened -1.1%. That means QQQ would be at -0.9% at market open excluding Amazon and NVIDIA. Still a pretty red markt open for the QQQ’s.

ButtholeAnalogy

Send QQQ to the 500s where it belongs

Samjabr

QQQ 620 Calls for Monday too dumb?

hioman01

QQQ is giving up

InvincibleRoman

bulls will never see 606 on QQQ ever again.... wave goodbye!

AlphaHarmony

Put wall on the QQQ is 600 and then next months expirations will be positive, so my thinking is we dump to close, and then Monday we open green, or we dip to $590 then resume our regularly scheduled grind higher. February is always a shit month, March not so much :)

teamyg

Kept shorting QQQ at 608.3, head fake it is.

spudbro00

QQQ almost green, get the fuck outta here

sck178

Oof my port is all gone. Damn you QQQ

ksyoung17

Gotta say, impressive of QQQ to get right back into yesterday's chop and press itself up against going green

Sick0h

How is NVDA getting smashed and QQQ holding up better than SPY today

Bene_observari

SPY and QQQ Gap filling to yesterdays close. There is a pesky trendline in the way so we must grind along it, agonizingly slow, until gap fill. Once it hits 609 on the QQQs towards the end of the day, expect a fade from there.

ebitdasga

wtf is holding up QQQ? I’m getting absolutely destroyed on all my positions today

ButtholeAnalogy

\-2% QQQ by close cuz I just bought calls

sck178

Fuck me QQQ is going to be green by 1, isn't it?

ThouOne

AMD dumps with NVDA, and dumps when NVDA pumps. If QQQ goes up that means for competition so it dumps, if QQQ goes down then it follows sector and dumps. Literally only pumps on false rumors and does fuck all on earnings.

hioman01

QQQ goes green up already. Stop acting like a hoe.
