I think SPY and QQQ are the only way to make big money quick not the individual stocks
The put/call ratio is 1.6 on SPY and 1.3 on QQQ. That’s all you have to know. This means that there is 1.6 times more volume on put options than call options. You usually use puts to plan for a market drop, and calls to plan for a market increase. (I will skip the fact that you can also use constructs with puts and calls to do the opposite move, it is usually not that common). In normal times, that ratio is around 0.6. I.e. people don’t buy much protection, but usually prepare for a market increase. Market always goes up in general, after all. Here, many people are protecting against a major drop. PPT did a marvelous job keep saying that Iran was ready to concede to everything and the war was won ahead of schedule, and oil will flow back soon. Somehow, it just does not happen, but that still propelled the market to new ATH pretty much every day.
This is a solid plan, especially legging in after drawdowns. Main risks I’d think about beyond direction: – IV contraction hitting your LEAP harder than expected – getting stuck rolling short calls during strong rallies (capping upside more than planned) – long periods of low volatility where premium just isn’t worth it Also one thing that doesn’t get talked about enough is how messy tracking becomes over 2 years with constant rolls 😅 I ran into that and started using Optioneer to keep P&L + adjustments clean Curious how you plan to manage rolls if QQQ trends hard up?
Seems pretty simple with the past like month or two tbh. You buy QQQ calls or invest in it in general. I haven’t looked at a lot of stocks but most I have are green with about a 45 degree m angle up.
ETFs rebalance things quarterly, and then adjust in real-time depending what market does. If, say, TSLA is selling off, major funds reduce their exposure accordingly. The only time you'd see something like SPY tank is if the whole market is taking a dive. One component having a bad run is not going to affect the fund significantly. As far as I understand, the main difference between funds like SPY, QQQ, VOO, VT and such is in how they distribute dividends and in their fees structure.
Only up 8K all in on one high risk stock while trying to time the market. The risk/reward ratio fucking sux bro. Could've bought QQQ and saved yourself some work.
DJI up Monday with SPY & QQQ chop with profit taking on semis and rotating into beaten down names. Please let me be right… 🙏
If software joins the rally I could see a 30 percent year for QQQ. They got slaughtered along with the rest of tech for months but havent recovered. Too many good companies that have negative sentiment when they are literally printing money.
One of the most insane months in QQQ in literal years and we still have trading days left LOL
You think he's gay? How about this? :)) I don't even want to look at how this contract is worth today lmao, granted I make up with QQQ/AMZN/HIMS but still stink given this is a lotto position but I somehow decided to closed it https://preview.redd.it/08iyfc3yk8xg1.png?width=1222&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7e7c25457ea1ab2765b5af74a46a2758d7305bc

QQQ up only 18 days in a row.

#Spy Kids is actually part of a trilogy. There is also Dow Kids and QQQ Kids LMAO🤌
Just buy whatever dips really. Mag8, semiconductors, QQQ.
Worth pulling apart what "risk-on" actually means here. I track social attention and sentiment data across about 10 platforms, and the picture on SPY/QQQ this week is more split than the price action suggests. Sentiment on both is sitting around 76-78% which is elevated but not euphoric. What's interesting is the *critical* themes — for QQQ, about 30% of the bearish conversation is geopolitical/oil-driven inflation fears, and another 25% is technical resistance and death-cross stuff. SPY shows the same pattern, with oil shock fears as the dominant critical narrative. So the bearish case isn't being ignored at all, it's actually loud. What's holding the bid up on the supportive side is mostly passive long-term index advocacy and oversold bounce / dip-buying language. That's not really "risk-on conviction" — that's structural flows plus technicals. Reads less like investors choosing to ignore the risks and more like the market is being levitated by passive money while active commentary is pretty cautious. Different setup than 2024 when the supportive narrative was actually about growth. Worth watching whether the dip-buyers keep showing up if oil sticks above $100 for another week.
Personally I wasn't looking for huge upside, just a little bump to around 61,800 today to peak out before rolling over. Guess I would have been better off betting on QQQ upside, lol. My options expire next week anyways, I was just hoping to finally get rid of them. Looking at the BTC chart, and comparing it to last cycle's similar bear flag, that last cycle flag peaked at the major H&S neckline. There is a major H&S neckline just above 81,600 that it could hit. I wrote it off because I was hoping for a peak today and it would be above a major channel I have drawn in. Guess I shouldn't have dismissed the possibility; would have saved me a few bucks today. However, if the peak hits on, say, Tuesday (or later), then it could hit that neckline at around 83,000, within my channel, and within one theoretical bear flag resistance line I have drawn. (There are a few tangible ways to draw it) Plus, 83k is a nice round number. (Could peak higher if it takes longer to get up there... for my Calls sake, I hope that isn't the case) That said, in the last cycle bear flag, the peak occurred at the same time that Nasdaq saw a peak during a relief rally. My bet is the same thing happens this time around. Nasdaq is definitely high, but it may not have peaked yet. The major bull flag channel lines had peak price today just under the resistance line. That doesn't mean Nasdaq will hit the resistance line, but the indexes generally like to hit their major trend lines before a major reversal. There's also a major measured move target that price was just under today. I think Nasdaq goes higher before this rally is over. That said, it doesn't mean price can't back off first, consolidate for a bit, then surge to its ultimate peak. Or maybe everyone is entirely wrong and Nasdaq isn't even close to peaking. I'm starting to get the sense of euphoria, and the put/call ratio and fear and greed indexes are both at levels we saw during the 2022 peak. Guess we'll see if the top is in today or over the next couple of weeks.
European stocks -2 percent this week, QQQ up +2.5 percent. America truly is the chosen land. 🇺🇸
Weekly QQQ calls on Monday?
So I am currently getting into investing and learning the basics but would appreciate some input on my current portfolio distribution. The goal is long-term sustained growth over 30 years or so with a “buy and hold” mentality. I like the Bogleheads mentality, but got a 3 day ban from their sub for even mentioning investing in QQQ. Currently my distribution is based on a standard 3 fund portfolio with tilts in tech and real estate because I think those markets will continue to improve over the next 30 years. My distribution is: 40% VTI 20% VTXUS 20% BND 10% VNQ (REIT) 10% QQQ Any input or changes you’d recommend? I’m aware the REITs aren’t the most efficient in a taxable brokerage, but with my income tax bracket, it would be negligible bump. I like them as an inflation hedge and the extra investable income via dividends. If I were to cut something, I’d sell my. Shares here and move it to VTXUS for more foreign market involvement. I am also aware that tech and QQQ is volatile in the market, however, I do not think we are going to see tech become less of an integral part of our society or economy especially with the rise of AI. It seems silly to not tilt your portfolio to tech a little given that we are closer to colonizing the moon than going back to analog clocks and dialup internet.
Bought 4/30 $600 QQQ puts and SPY 4/28 $707 puts at close.
I did it. I have the single highest QQQ buy in history rn.
Curious what percentage they are of the S&P and QQQ after today, gotta be close to 20%
You should try investing in VOO. Once you are ready for some risk, you can try QQQ.
ATH QQQ Leaps and chill.....I guess?? 🤷♂️
14 day RSI is 71.5 on QQQ. Previous 14 day RSI before drops were in December 28th at 73.8, July 15th at 76.2, and March 2024 at 72. That being said. Nah I'm not saying calls this time we got a 5-7% fall coming on Tuesday
LMFAO that QQQ green candle
You're welcome whoever I sold my QQQ calls to at a minimum profit 😒
Loading up on $QQQ 6/18 $700 calls
It'll be up to the managers of each fund, describing their strategy for keeping up with theoretical indexes is not something that would benefit the funds to disclose to the public. Just like any other re-shuffling when companies get added or subtracted the managers likely exit using derivatives rather than just everyone taking a 6% holdings dump on the market simultaneously. They'll make various moves in the 15 days between SpaceX being listed and getting included in the theoretical QQQ. In theory the companies exiting indexes provide the liquidity to buy the new entrants. But the laggard exiting will not be enough to cover a 6% total index weight in SpaceX. So, since liquidity has to come from somewhere, I expect a major sell-off in previous winners.
Going martingdale strategy on QQQ puts has depleted my account.
Best thing about seeing SPY/QQQ rip is TSLA isn't part of it. LOL
What are the options level for the QQQ today
For all you technical chart readers.... Will QQQ have a chance at touching 665 today? SPY 715? Don't want to hold calls over the weekend and trying to gradually sell out contracts at profit. Thanks!
they wont even let QQQ or Spy drop a dollar lol
Just 2 more dollars QQQ You can do it! **LETS GO, ROCK HARD!**
I’ve got the CEO of QQQ on the line and he says….nope.
we're not in a market where QQQ pumps +2% on good Intel earnings.. after pumping +15% the three weeks prior. this is a raging bull market
When building a house, when does the builder make profit? When they sell the house. I'm happy you brought up the Mag7 being hammered because of Capex. The largest, if I'm not mistaken, in Capex spending for AI right now is Amazon. They literally just hit all time highs. QQQ keeps going all time highs as well. No matter what, the market as a whole is looking toward the future and picking (stock wise) who will benefit the most. Ultimately that's why the market is going up because the majority of the tech sector should benefit when more chips are produced and there's more competition in the industry. More competition will eventually lower prices of chips and ultimately other companies will benefit with higher margins as they are able to get the same productivity from lower cost chips. That's why Intel coming to also play with relatively "good enough" chips is so important to the overall industry.
Intel's only like 1.5% of QQQ — you're right... the math doesn't work on direct weighting alone. What's actually happening is sentiment contagion across the whole semi complex. When Intel prints a data center beat that big, the market re-rates AI infra demand broadly — NVDA, AMD, AVGO, MRVL, MU all caught bids. Those names are massive weights in QQQ. NVDA alone is something like 8-9% of the index. So the tape isn't really reacting to Intel, it's reacting to what Intel's numbers *imply* about everyone else. The social side of this is interesting too. I track attention across about 10 platforms and the chatter volume on AI infra names spiked hard right after the print — not just Intel, all of them. That's the kind of cross-ticker sentiment sweep that moves indexes more than any single stock. The Tesla partnership piece probably added some fuel separately but the semi rerate is doing the heavy lifting.
Everyone might as well throw all their money into semis and hardware plus the QQQ. Iran is going to be a mess. But all of wall street decided they want hamptons and nantucket houses this summer so we are going on a tear through July
Short Intel with puts and go long QQQ. You're welcome
The Bers have been obliterated. Entirely destroyed - their puts, their shorts, their defensive longs. Our risk-on troopers have totally obliterated the Bers. We won. We completely won. The straights of QQQ are entirely open for investing once again. AI/semis is not a bubble. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Uhh so yeah let’s see SPY 717 EOD and grab some QQQ puts for over the weekend
Nvidia, Google, AMD, Apple, Amazon, SPY, QQQ ALL TIME HIGHS…. Tesla? 🥴🫵🤣
> Is AAPL an inverse QQQ now? It actually has been trading pretty close to inverse NVDA on a day to day basis for a few months now, generally. When NVDA is having a good day AAPL underperforms and vice versa. Prob just big money messing.
Is AAPL an inverse QQQ now?
QQQ scaring me with this volume/movement
SOXS has ruined me, and now I took what was left and put into SPY/QQQ puts expiring in June. That's my last chance to make back my losses. I know this market is gonna boom even more. This is regarded.
At this point I just take it for granted that on Monday QQQ will be up another 1% or more
$QQQ 670 after earnings next Wednesday
At this point i have no idea man, i thought the 650 QQQ was gonna be toppy
QQQ is literally printing money rn.
QQQ up 100 dollars in the last few weeks alone. Absolutely insane
Shoutout to whoever said to go for QQQ instead of SPY I love you
11:44 was finally the time ES got over major resistance 7185.75 and caused NQ to spike up hence the QQQ spike. If this level holds for ES we are going up much much more since up to this point the ES/SPY has been slightly pressing on the breaks during the spike up this week.
QQQ's the name, pump +1% every day''s the game
Bro I opened today +$500 and then fucked it up and went -$53 for the day before just throwing $1100 at 658C for QQQ and then fucking off to do whatever Back up to +$500 and I'm out for the day Fuck this POS market
so we just pumped more than $100 on QQQ in less than a month?
Bruh my QQQ and AMD leaps are fucking printing holy shit
If you really believe market is fake (it's not, look at returns on QQQ and SPY over last 6 months before the run up) then why are you in it? lol
Once this daily NVDA pump here ends, then all-time-high top for QQQ is in. Yes, I'm calling the top. No, I don't care if this ages poorly.
QQQ Just doesn't give a fuck huh?
QQQ is about to take off, want to be loading the 4/28 $670 calls right here
NVDA baby taking us QQQ bois for a ride too
Thanks whoever bought my QQQ puts 🤣
How the fuck did QQQ fully reverse that flip
More QQQ calls on that opening dip. Another 30 min or so of consolidation then it’s ripping
Holy fuck QQQ is only up +1%... what a bloodbath
It feels like that .3% QQQ dump was concentrated to stocks in my portfolio
good boyyyyyy QQQ go and drop for me 🖤
QQQ pls go back to flat so i can buy more
QQQ+%2 today is happening isn't it?
wait for the QQQ pullback until you get in boys
QQQ up like 5x higher than SPY, feels like it is guaranteed to drop by end of day...but it could still pump for a bit.
I guess you are right. I just can't figure out why QQQ is popping in premarket. The other big tech are causing it.
Will it? INTC is only like 1.66% of QQQ lol
Damn, again missed out on QQQ end of March. I terribly suck at this.
Believe it or not that drop from 1.5 to 1.2% gain in QQQ was a generational buying opportunity
The dollar has devalued heavily, but I don’t trade based on biases, I follow trends. I average a thousand dollars a day trading futures/ options. These all time highs are definitely inflated, and that’s not what I’m trying to argue here. Don’t trade based on your opinion of the economy, follow the trend, and trade stocks that have momentum off of catalysts. This isn’t a debate on whether or not the economy is in shambles, it’s about stocks continuing to make higher highs and reaping the benefits of a runaway retard market. I think we’ll ultimately see a major pullback in the future here, because the market has pushed way too far way too fast. I’m not holding any long term positions at this point other than VOO, QQQ, and POET, because the market is so dangerous at this point. As a day trader it’s not my job to trade based on biases, it’s to follow the trend. I went to school for software engineering and worked in the industry for almost 10 years, but have chosen to focus on my trading after years of success in the market. I think the entire market is extremely inflated, and there’s a multiplicity of reasons for it being inflated. I am not buying any stocks at this level. My only recent purchase is 10,000 shares of poet that I bought at 8 dollars a share and other than that I’m simply holding VOO and QQQ which I will continue to buy on dips for years to come.
If the news about talks about talks keep coming the QQQ can keep climbing. 😊
QQQ seems to be outperforming spy/voo at pretty staggering rate
QQQ lolololol puts on tech for next week eanings will make me generational wealth
I’m calling QQQ top at 666. It’s the perfect number
Profit it profit, but I think I left around 3k on the table with QQQ calls yesterday if QQQ opens this high
