QQQ $590C? Inverse WSB? Thoughts? Or is it too regarded? What do my fellow regards think?
I haven’t seen manipulation this obvious in awhile. Max pain QQQ is obviously below 583$ NVDIA and MSFT will pump/sell to ensure it stays in the range. Fuckers.
oil back to it's highs as far out as June and July. August almost. SPY/QQQ: meh. it's cool. that's only a few months. I'm sure it'll all blow over.
Greed will get ya man. QQQ opening -2% is about as good as it gets, very limited upside and a much higher chance it would recover (like it did). Lesson (hopefully) learned.
VIX red and QQQ green EOD pls dear algos
I am holding one last put, QQQ 540p 4/24. I will never buy another put again under this admin. Until the next time.
My brother… if you bought 680 calls on QQQ, when the market dunked this week, you could have turned $4k in $150k. Keep up those returns though, alright? Alright.
If this is still open he is making a profit now with QQQ 245pm
QQQ is growth, those are broad market. SCHG or VUG may be better potential replacements?
Well its nasdaq However many funds like VTI already include newly IPOed companies very quickly like with in 5-20 days This would make QQQ more like VTI because VTI is already doing this
Ah.. so is this topic kinda overblown since VTI has already operated like this? Maybe it's not a big deal that QQQ acts similarly if VTI already works this way? Or is it mainly just a big deal because of how SpaceX investment is structured internally?
Isn't this float adjusted so the impact to QQQ may not be as bad since SpaceX is only selling a small portion of the company?
I am asking which funds are vulnerable, and which funds are not.. So if people want to avoid the vulnerability, how should they adjust their portfolio? Seems like I have some things wrong, but your post didn't really clear up my questions. Are you saying that QQQ and VTI will be vulnerable to SpaceX's manipulation, and SPY and VOO aren't?
Fair concern but I'd push back a bit. Nasdaq changing its methodology is not new - it's rebalanced concentration rules multiple times since the dot-com era. SpaceX getting fast-tracked doesn't change the index's DNA, it just means more growth exposure, which is exactly why most QQQ holders bought it in the first place. The real question is whether the valuation premium you're paying for that growth actually delivers. I built my own 25-stock factor basket in my taxable account a few years back - quarterly rebalanced - and it's worked well, but it requires discipline most people don't want to deal with. If concentration risk is genuinely the concern, M1 Finance handles exactly the custom allocation use case you're describing without needing minimum thresholds.
Get this right. VIX +3%, Oil +10%, and QQQ/SPY not dumping? It is a fake out, bull trap, beware. Dont say you weren't warned.
it's going to be funny when you underperform QQQ
Oil pumping and QQQ pumping at the same time is the most retarded thing the market could do, so of course it's going to do exactly that.
what ? QQQ is affected by this rule SPY and VOO both track the same index , S&P500 what has its own requirements VTI already adds new IPOs basically in 5 days so VTI wouldn't need to adopt the rule they already have the same rule for years.
So which funds? QQQ and SPY? VOO and VTI are okay? Everyone should basically switch from SPY to VOO right then?

QQQ STILL IN A BEARISH TREND ON THE DAILY https://preview.redd.it/pcguglgnctsg1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aaa606370572d7c08e5fc115c4e443dce5f2867d
SPY QQQ DOW still red🤦
My tin foil hat observation is MMs are using NVDIA and Microsoft to prop up QQQ above 582.50 to avoid too many out contracts expiring ITM.
Shout out to the guy who bought 400k in calls on QQQ and NVIDIA that expire monday
Had to use AI to get a better understanding of this. Here's what it said. Basically what OP said but in different words: **Why the 15-Day Rule is a "Cheat Code" for Insiders** In a traditional IPO, a company might trade for 6 months or a year before hitting a major index. During that time, the "hype" often dies down, and the price corrects. But under the new 15-day "Fast Entry" rule: - Forced Demand: By Day 15, trillions of dollars in passive funds (like QQQ) are legally required to buy the stock to match the index. - Price Support: This massive wave of "forced buying" creates a high price floor. - The "Exit" Strategy: When the 180-day lock-up finally expires, the insiders aren't selling into a volatile, uncertain market. They are selling into a market that has been propped up for five months by every pension fund and 401(k) in the country that tracks the Nasdaq-100. **The "Float Multiplier" Distortion** Nasdaq will now use a multiplier (up to 3x or 5x depending on the final methodology) for low-float stocks. Example: If SpaceX only lists 5% of its shares for the public, Nasdaq might tell index funds to buy as if 25% were available. This creates a "scarcity squeeze." Because so few shares are actually available to trade, the massive demand from index funds can drive the price to astronomical levels. Insiders then wait for their lock-up to expire and sell their shares at these "distorted" prices. **Summary of the Timeline** - Day 1: IPO happens. Only a tiny "float" (e.g., 5-10%) is available. - Day 15: Passive index funds are forced to buy, likely at a premium. - Day 180: Lock-up expires. Founders and insiders can now sell their massive stakes into the "deep liquidity" provided by the index funds. All this because Elon isn't satisfied with just being a poor billionaire.
I bought ATM 1 dte QQQ puts yesterday at market close, cashed first thing in AM. Reloaded some at puts expiring next week on the rip up, 580, we will see
MMs if you're reading this. bring QQQ to 576 as an act of kindness
Another brand new account with a hidden history posting political FUD about index fund investing. My focus is long term passive investing, including QQQ, anything these companies do in the short term will be noise.
Can we go back to 572 for QQQ so I can make the right decision
The concentration risk in the Nasdaq has been building for years. The top 10 names in the QQQ now make up something like 55-60% of the index, which means you are not really getting sector diversification, you are getting a handful of megacap bets. For investors who already have heavy 401k exposure to S&P 500 or total market, layering in more Nasdaq exposure is almost redundant because of the overlap. The question worth asking is whether you actually have a view on those specific companies or if you just like the branding of "tech investing." If it is the latter, VTI or even a small tilt to small cap value might give you better long term diversification for the risk you are taking.
Still can’t believe QQQ was 637 last October. I feel like I’ve been playing catchup for 7 months now
When can QQQ fucking break six hundo
Spy to 0 Gonna drop some knowledge on yall it’s your daily reminder to eat ghost pepper before buying SPY FD’s even though it’s a sticky situation. I always ask Yes or no before a buy a put on QQQ when I’m in the middle of a Nofap commitment. Don’t forget to hold, all in. I say no no no !guh if my calls start to bleed, I hate having to remind you all when you ask is my favorite stock ticker halted. Have a good day everyone. SPY 420 EOW!!! Don’t worry about the K10. Ukraine!!! Michael Burry! short squeeze Short it then! What witchcraft is this? pivot big mommy milkers He got hit by a bus? Not financial advice BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY drinking a choccy milk I’M NOT SELLING
Can we have 10 shares traded in 1 minute of QQQ. Ta fuck is this
Oil up 11% XLE barely up 0.5% SPY and QQQ flat Someone is lying. lol
I guess $584 is the number for the powers that be to avoid max pain on QQQ. The manipulation is hilarious.
I was referring to the QQQ puts. NKE puts is greed, but also NKE been dropping for years so not a bad long term hold
UPDATE: $SPY and $QQQ have made it back to break-even on the day! Bloomberg just reported that Iran is drafting protocol with Oman for Hormuz Strait Traffic!!

Some retard bought 52,000x QQQ 580P 4/2exp $16M premium yesterday. He definitely made bank. lol
pure regardium. QQQ.... safe haven?
QQQ is being treated as a safe haven. It traded for so long between 595 and 605 and now, with Oil up nearly 100 percent and the "leadership" (??!) completely off the rails, we're like 4 percent below that range and buying. It takes a long time to kill the bull.
Where does QQQ bottom out today? Holding ODTE puts so stressful.
QQQ down 2 percent overnight. That’s kinda a lot, maybe if it pumps, might buy some puts, but def selling at open.
Shorting the shit out of the QQQ but the bitch doesnt go wothout the fight
Man I wish I had bought more than just 8 of those QQQ $584P yesterday. Oh well. Now the question is do I dump at open or hold expecting more downside? Trading is a pain in the ass, I just wanna buy stocks and hold them but the market refuses to give good long term entries
I was feeling spicy yesterday, bought some QQQ puts.

-2% QQQ lmao so fucking stupid.
Index based ETF rebalance quarterly as needed to trim underperforming and replaced with best option. Trying to manage single stocks in retirement account where buy and sell based on close of business and not spot can be problematic if that single stock takes a bath and one needs to liquidate quickly. I'd consider diversifying by finding QQQ and/or SOXX equivalent, if offered. Both will likely outperform that already owned since semiconductors are the picks and shovels of tech and tech runs the global economy because all systems run on tech. SP500 is old school now dominated by Mag 7. Might as well consider investing in that not being dragged down by 493 other underperformers. At 22 I wouldn't be worried about volatility in an index and let the natural DCA of paychecks build for retirement.
Dude QQQ went from 572 to 573.2, in like an instant. Nasdaq100 is still getting shock buys, meaning big banks are still buying in butt loads of stocks to make it move up sharply.
SPY and QQQ slowly starting to recover, hold steady fellow bulls
Feels like a -4.5% sort of day for QQQ, which would put it right back to Monday’s close.
I’m a broken record at this point, but man unfortunately I think both of Trump’s previous F-ups that were well known by most don’t work as compare and contrasts. Even if you can argue the world economy could suffer even more than 2022 here, US markets having already been in decline pre-Iran has set us up with similar market structure to 2022, which is not conducive to any ideas of us flash crashing. Like if a disaster scenario does verify, I have seen a downside structure suggesting that QQQ can trade deep into the $400’s, but the timetable is all year.
And QQQ/SPY calls
QQQ calls, 585 strike :)
Should have known this regard can only pump the market with Tweets not a Speech and held my QQQ 4/17 580p.
How am I supposed to glean any quality edge when everybody is being so nonsensical constantly. Can somebody please tell me what is going to happen at 930am Thursday morning? Should I buy calls at open? $10,000.00 in ODTE QQQ?
What is gone? Bruh QQQ was -1.7% overnight, now it is -1.3%, it is going up
I do. I wheel QQQ at large volume. But this bear trend has been preventing me selling CC lower than cost base. But you do you. Eat the loss for a puny premium. I'll hold my QQQs.
QQQ was down 1.75% now only down 1.5%
2025 was the "year of buying puts on the pumps" until QQQ rallied over 50% in 6 months.
I have my friend manifest which way the QQQ is going to go the next day. I’m down 80% but i think it’s starting to work
I remember one Motherfuc*** here told me on Monday that Tuesday, Wednesday would be a rally, and Thursday would be a bleed. Played QQQ perfectly until yesterday, loaded with puts today. I just wanted to say, Thanks Barron, and nice to see you on WSB
Well there’s no guarantees, but QQQ is well down after hours and I would expect it into tomorrow. Hold over the weekend is up to you
lol buttcorn captures all downside of QQQ, no upside
Think I'm gonna cum if QQQ goes -3% tmrw
so glad I stayed short btc and never covered. sub 60k soon even as QQQ keeps going up. the scam is finally ending 14 years later
The interesting thing I noticed on this latest bounce was that despite QQQ making it back to within 8% of ATHs all the big boys like Microsoft, AMD, NVDA, meta, Google, etc were farther away from ATHs which means that's despite a lot of buying it still wasn't the big guys leading the charge.
How do I parlay options plays? INTC leap calls. QQQ puts.
QQQ can be at 0 tomorrow still buying puts at open.
Yes, this year's IPO volume seems to be rather large, and it is estimated that it will have a significant impact on the cash flow in the market. It feels like there is too much pressure for QQQ to continue its upward trend now.
Nothing shocks me anymore. Wouldn't be surprised to wake up and see QQQ at ATHs tmrw.

Oh brother. You could’ve just spent that money on way better positioned options and actually made money man. I’m short myself, next Friday dated a lot closer to the money in QQQ…. and I’m rooting for you…. but good lord. This is truly regarded.
futures, homie... trades pretty much around the clock 23/5 open sunday night, close friday afternoon... see how the shit starts dipping right at 1800... yeah that's 6pm west coast time or 9pm eastern. MNQ is the mini nasdaq proxy, so this is how qqq will be gapped up or down overnight... so all the stocks in QQQ are affected as well, same with MES. ES / MES - NQ / MNQ ... plus there are oil futures and many other futures that are trading around the clock... forex, plus crypto, gold, silver... all different forms of liquidity. https://preview.redd.it/kba01ig3sosg1.png?width=861&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9ec8fa6772bb2e1239512b653759ab5ba05f3be
