QQQ

Healthy_Peanut6753

QQQ my friend if you're new to this game. Don't listen to folks about VOO and SPY - tech will outperform broad market by least 2x if your investment horizon is at least 10 years.

MaybeMalaka

I know nothing about acorns but if your okay with investing it long term open a brokerage like fidelity, open a Roth IRA and max it out for the year. Think it's 7-7500 roughly. Then take that money and go buy VOO or QQQm. QQQm is a lower expense QQQ which is the nasdaq 100 VOO lower expense SPY or S&P 500 Or VTI this is the lowest risk lowest reward. Just keep contributing. If you want cash flow you can look into something like ULTY but this is way more risky as it's a bit unknown long term but you would get paid out roughly 126 a week off of 8k. I typed out a lot because there's a million in one ways to invest your money but it's a single player game and you have to decide what your own risk tolerance is, how much attention you wanna give it. But seriously Roth IRA, no taxes on capital gains ever and you can pull your own capital if you ever need to just not the gains your investment made. Any questions ask.

Monday QQQ +3%

Such_Region2724

gold will break its all time high this week. SPY and QQQ will NOT! thank you for your attention to this matter.

hgreenblatt

I sell Spy Puts. Tax treatment with the lousy spreads in XSP, negates that reason. Assignment Risk, I never hold over 14dte and have NEVER BEEN ASSIGNED (in Spy or QQQ) even when my strike was broken by 15 pts.

BIGDADDYHANIN

BOOM! or DOOM! Oil or Gold NVDA or PLTR SPY or QQQ

Lonely-Weakness-6678

And please explain again , why 😂😂. Spy and QQQ has just reached highest highs and in a pull back to try to break the resistance. I have it charted now . Looking at chart analysis and day trading M-F , these are not signs of a market crash , vs what we just delt with in the market .

StrifeRaZoR

Going to throw an odd take at the whole situation: Inverse ETFs. I love me some SPXS and SQQQ, and apparently so does the rest of the market. Inverse ETFs have seen a massive amount of inflows the past 2-3 months. On the weeks that SPY/QQQ actually move down significantly, the volume on SPXS/SQQQ is over double the volume on the main indexes. I'm having a hard time trusting SPY Put-Call ratio lately. Money has moved and we're on the ass-end of the information train.

It’s going to be a weird ride for QQQ these next few weeks No matter which war in the past, Tel Aviv was never under danger like a direct war with Iran. Office buildings and high rises getting hit without anything anyone can do. The airport has been emptied out (even Israeli planes are parking in other countries) . No school or office work for the next few days at least Meta, Apple, Google, Wix, Wiz, lemonade, zscaler, NVidia, intel, Amazon, it’s impossible to explain how important all these offices are in terms of developing the next generation of everything these companies do. Israel is like a super innovation hub I could see a situation where one of these companies decides to completely shut down and leave the country. How long can you deal with your office building being under constant ballistic missile attack? Even during the Gaza war, work in Tel Aviv was never dangerous like now

IronyElSupremo

Probably look at a “tech index” based on the S&P 900 or Russell 1000. Maybe a similar growth index too (or QQQ) if ok with adding swanky casual dining, tech-infused consumer products/services, and maybe even some pharma.

StunnedTraveler32

The best time to start investing was yesterday. The next best time to invest is today! Look into index funds (VOO,QQQ, VBK) consider AMD and META. If you’re feeling crazy buy some small caps like HNST, RCAT. Tons of opportunities out there just gotta do research and HODL. In terms of crypto, I would look into ISO 20022 compliant tokens

NITROW_

buying QQQ is not investing, you’re betting on the technology sector continuing to outperform. There’s also no point in buying SCHD as it’s already in VOO, same for QQQ. Just buy VTI if you live in the US or VT for mor diversification

AfraidAnalyst

Holding my QQQ 531c. Probably stupid but something always happens over the weekend that makes a shit ton of money Monday or breaks everything into Monday

EvolvingDior

Vanguard has some kick-ass ETFs. VGT beats the shit out of QQQ. VOO has more AUM than SPY. VYM and VYMI are great funds. But there is, at best, an insignificant market for options on any of these funds. Most option chains don't have recent quotes, and those that do have giant bid/ask spreads. Vanguard (or someone) could make a killing making a market on options for their funds, quoting tight bid/ask spreads. Someone there is seriously dropping the ball.

Icy_Low_2400

Man fuck this. Its not so much that I lost money its that I spent all fucking day doing it then I have to go to work and It keeps happening. 0dte QQQ at open sold within 10 minutes no matter what now. Fucking hate the market.

leadfarmer154

None of those are target funds. I'm fully aware of VOOG, QQQ, VUG, SCHG..etc

wclark8622

0DTE was available in 2017 for SPY SPX and QQQ NDX. But they were M W and Friday expirations. Tues and Thu were added a few years ago.

Fuzz0410

0DTE on the QQQ is a more recent thing and started in 2022

floo82

Intel and Oracle and many others pumped to pin spy and QQQ exactly at max pain since other heavier weighted stocks were already overbought as fuck they had to pump smaller lighter weights that had not yet pumped

OurNewestMember

On SPY the Oct 700 call was 0.33 and the put had 1.25 of extrinsic (typically you expect the call to be higher than the put). This apparent negative yield will also happen on QQQ, too! It will cost a few extra ticks, but the synthetic forward spread will fill. Seems tempting to borrow at -0.3802%, right? :-)

shawnbttu

NQ still over 21,200, ES flirting with 6000..both SPY and QQQ just half a point down for the week..this whole thing is going to cool off over the weekend and we will resume our slow grind up on Monday..book it

OurNewestMember

I get that reaction, but that is actually how they're priced, lol. The previous numbers were "after hours" numbers, but I still posted them because they showed the effect. Here are updated conversions from 3:53 PM ET today: With QQQ around 526.2/sh: * 525 conversion: 1.40 net extrinsic (2.7883% pa without the dividend) * 505 conversion: 1.40 net extrinsic (2.8991% pa without the dividend) * 545 conversion: 1.11 net extrinsic (2.1283% pa without the dividend) Again, these percentages use the option expiration as the term :-)

Major-Challenge9071

Only QQQ can go -75% to +50% in 3-4 hrs

Samjabr

guh, bought 100 QQQ poots for Monday - should have loaded way more when we were close to flat I am so bad at this.

Foreign-Coconut3500

lol i made like 30k on a single QQQ call, what you talking about dude?

supergravy66

I bought SQQQ yesterday and then sold about a half hour after the strike in Iran. Then went into QQQ and held it until early this morning. Now back to SQQQ and will likely sell by market close. It has worked really well so far. I don't think there is any way to predict longer term.

igotshrimps

Despite making 50% on my QQQ puts, I ain't happy about the reason behind it. I rather make my money having a short position in TSLA when Donny deports Elon.

No_Skirt_4689

What are the chances QQQ drops under $500 again? Asking for a friend holding a buncha cash.

RICO_Numbers

Yo, ThinkOrSwim. When I search QQQ I obviously want the index and not Questcorp Mining with the ticker QQQ:XCNQ. Thanks.

Party_Shoe104

Only you can define what "good" is. I would say most money managers compare their performances to that of the S&P 500. Over the last 40 years, the S&P 500 averages about a 10% gain per year. Congrats on crossing the milestone! Since the market goes up and down on a daily basis, do not get discouraged if you see your portfolio dip back down under that milestone. As long as you hold QUALITY companies/stocks within your portfolio, it will go back above that milestone and continue to grow. When do you sell? 1) If the fundamentals of one of the companies you own begins to deteriorate, then it is o-kay to sell. 2) If there is another stock that will give you a better return on your money than a stock you currently hold, then it is o-kay to sell. 3) If you are trying to raise money for something (down payment for a house, buy a car, pay for tuition, etc.) and you've hit your goal, it is o-kay to sell. 4) If a stock price shot up over 30% in 1 day, it is okay to sell some or all of your shares. Best path forward for a conservative investor is to invest in an ETF that tracks the S&P 500. There are a gazillion of them, such as SPY, VUG,, & SPLG. I do know that SPLG has a very low expense ratio. You can also look into the QQQ (tracks the top 100 companies of the NASDQ).

No_Tie9686

personally I am a fan of the volatility. I just wish we could get some 6% swing days on QQQ and SPY. those days are fun

purub123

Or if hes more risky, QQQ

Lopsided-Tour-5184

why is QQQ hovering around 530 can we not have a reasonable pump or dump

QQQ 533 please 🙏

socrates4eva

Made some money this morning on QQQ put and about to repeat with SPY calls.

yolo_tradez

This is called a dumbbell approach, with BRK being your "safer, slower growth" bet and your BTC as your Beta play. 80/20? 60/40? Weight makes all the difference. Also, you're taking on unnecessary risk going with BRK, why not just go QQQ or VTO instead and eliminate single party risk?

MitchCurry

SPY/VTI/QQQ until you know how to research stocks.

throwawayben1992

I had 100 529 QQQ puts expiring today, somehow made more from buying calls today than I did on those puts. Us bears had our unrealised gains stolen 😡

raisedeyebrow4891

I’m in long term 6-9 months OTM calls on QQQ, TSLA, MSFT, GS I believe in this market, but if not I got $80k in divies per year coming in

One_Confidence_7069

Held QQQ 533p hoping for a little blow off the top into today, ended up over 100% gain. Immediately bought calls at 527 because V's have been on sale all year.

sold QQQ calls at a loss today to see them gain 400% 1hr later. w t f

Why are so many people suddenly buying SPY and QQQ puts? How did you guys get the information and why do I get the feeling that it's “insider trading”?

Careful for the markets today... QQQ's down. Damn war

SPY and QQQ doesn't care about rockets hitting Iran and the Armenian genocide

Pink_Squadron_Medic

IDF bought SPY and QQQ puts yesterday 

OurNewestMember

I agree it's higher order, but it's simpler than that because American style options can reduce their tenor due to volatility (regardless of correlations between underlying and rates). You can price a conversion spread ATM, below spot and above spot to see that the implied rate above spot looks much lower (actually shorter duration). So if you buy the ATM forward and it becomes above spot (spot fell), you lose extra because it's kind of like you went long rates and they fell. I priced some 36 DTE conversions on QQQ shortly after the close and saw that 20 points below spot (510 strike) was >22 bps lower than ATM, but 20 points above spot (550 strike) was 78 bps lower than ATM (annualized figures). Not all options forwards are created equal! And yes, you can always hedge against falling rates if you're short bond value like buying the forward achieves.

Simple-One-6705

Calls GLD, Puts QQQ and IonQ. Instead of calculating simulated gains, i'm not bothering to look, im preparing for dissapointment. I know the market is gonna creep up, I know ionq is gonna be stimulated at a certain level. I know.. I'm destined to put the fries in the bag

anton__logunov

You are late. Buy bonds for now. Then start moving money to SPY/QQQ. Little by little. Then comeback when you are 50.

Nuclear_N

I invest in 50-50...SPY/QQQ. Mutual would be FXAIX/FNCMX. But I also have some hobby funds. Years ago I just searched the 3 yr, 5 yr, and 10 year returns and put a fixed amount in each one.

Yeezus_1

I’m seriously debating just buying a 520 QQQ put for tomorrow, should I??

QQQ 7dte calls. ATH coming next week

Plus_Goose3824

If you've been around long enough, then you know the only thing that matters is what happens when this opens. Paper gains won't feed you, but are fun to fantasize about. That being said, I'm sitting here wishing I had 90 instead of 1 528 QQQ put.

AIPAC bought SPY and QQQ puts today

ImmoKnight

Honestly. What is more likely is that they are going to bounce it back on low volume. Then they are going to let it drop after retail thinks they are catching the rebound... It has happened so many times, that it is a broken record by now. I could be wrong though. I usually am... I am holding a single QQQ call. Yay me?

Ourlasthope_

I have 100 $518 QQQ puts that expire tomorrow hopefully I at least break even.

No such thing except SPY, VOO, or QQQ

Could be me having a 527 540 iron condor on QQQ.....

So I guess these QQQ calls I bought right before close will probably not print

Probably QQQ after the pull back from the next war occurring.

spence_ECU20

QQQ / SPY split it up 50% 50%

VeryStableGenius

The nice thing about TSLA and other memestocks is that they soak up money that would otherwise be making normal stocks more expensive. SP500 P/E is 26, QQQ is 31, while on the value side SCHD is at 16.4, and VTV, SWLVX, and VYM are at 19 to 19.6.

Blazeitbro69420

I went pretty heavy with about 20k bucks at 283 average. So I’m in for the long haul until it gets to 400. Then I’ll really start thinking about selling and putting it in QQQ until the next black swan event happens. What’s your game plan?

So did someone know what was coming? QQQ was already down like 0.3% ah before the big drop

Bitcoin at best is tracking QQQ or SPY long term. Nothing special about it anymore.

How come QQQ & SPY green when all my stocks are red?

fetchingpanda

Bro you chasing it and late to the part. Why not just put it in index funds like SPY or QQQ? or just load up in NVDA?

Prestigious_Yogurt88

I bought QQQ puts at the same time. Mine were for tomorrow and next Friday exp though.

greyenlightenment

"It's so boring" just short crypto if market flat, crypto always dumps. QQQ would have to rally 4% just for btc to actually go up
