If you’re reading this, QQQ is plummeting

Etheryelle

unless it's 90% VOO or VIX or VTI or QQQ or SPY and 10% MOT or F or KO, (you get the picture), I 100% agree with you. New investors should not have 100% of everything in one stock. Back to the op on this thread, I do believe that if a new investor is anxious to sell, they should. One can never 'time" the market and my whole point was better to sell and be out a bit more profit than lose it all. I got in on Reddit (yes, because of my karma) and sold it at $72... stupid stupid me BUT, that was the point where I was comfortable and I'm okay with that.

QQQ with the stair case down

Happy_Discussion_536

QQQ for sure. Small rerating from IWM then return to being trash.

Adventurous-Idea-223

Going into next year with QE, do you think IWM or QQQ will outperform?

yes2matt

First trick is to look at the bid-ask spread. How wide is it? And compare that to the bid-ask spread for like QQQ.  If the spread on the ticker in question is very wide, there is low liquidity and you are not going to get good fills. First trick is to find a different ticker to trade options on. Second trick, and it is risky. Is to leg in. I call it playing the chop. When price action is going back and forth within a range you can buy your long leg first and sell your short leg second, and get the "mid" price you want.  Can get bit in the ass if price goes the other way after you buy before you sell. You can also leg out to save a losing position but that is only for us brass balled gamblers.

That happened to me on iron condors last week. With META and RddT. Both combined lost $500. Half of that was my gains from last week. Today I got lucky with 2 1DTE iron condors on QQQ. They expired worthless. Had a far enough strikes. Take it as a lesson learned. You can always bounce back. Don’t get as greedy and be more conservative with your trades. Any education that is worth while is expensive. Take this as trading 101.

Mihermano2002

IWM , QQQ, or SPY, which do you guys prefer to 0 DTE

BeFree94

I only trade QQQ 0DTES. Been watching how it trends daily for a few weeks/months, and based on that I move accordingly. • If the price rises in Premarket. at All. even just a $1 rise - I go Puts, as it definitely drops a good $2-$3 minimum during Market Hours. • If it drops $4-$5 in Premarket - I go Calls, as it always gains it back during Market Hours. • But, if its only a small drop in Premarket, maybe -$2/-$3, that makes it tricky, as it can go either way - so I'd usuallv wait until 10am on those days to choose a direction. Thats primarily how I've decided my direction each day. Outside of that, I average down when necessary - and ensure I have Limit Sells set up. I'll usually set a specific number to Exit at (for example, if it Opens @ 626 and I'm going Puts - ill set my Limit Sells for the 624 range so it automatically sells if I'm away from my screen) Pretty much it - I only trade QQQ. I stick to my plan, and avoid being greedy

That’s actively managed. QQQ added MSTR so don’t think SP Global wouldn’t do if it were to rip again

All done with QQQ 0DTEs - So, no, there's time 😁.

Curious what anyone else's thoughts are from now to Dec 18. I see after hours that the Nasdaq and S&P (through QQQ/SPY) are headed back down which I expected. But we have employment data coming up immediately, BoJ rate decision on Dec 18 (Evening Dec 17 EST), then the CPI release, and continued uncertainty around tech hardware valuations. Like yeah, we got the rate cut, but I don't think this is the easy rally it's being made out to be by WS pundits.

Interesting-Hunt1671

29 y/o here in the US looking for advice on what to do with $50k in cash. I’m employed full-time (W2) making about $190K/year. My main objectives with this money are long-term growth and flexibility: primarily retirement savings, but I’d also like to keep the option open for a home down payment in the next several years. Time horizon is mostly long (10–20+ years), and I don’t need this money in the next year, but I don’t want it completely locked up either. My risk tolerance is moderate-to-high: I’m fine with market volatility and drawdowns as long as the plan is sensible and long-term focused, but I’m not trying to YOLO or gamble it away. Current holdings include broad market ETFs like VOO, QQQ, and some individual tech stocks, mostly in brokerage/retirement accounts, so I already have meaningful tech/US equity exposure. I have no high-interest debt (credit cards paid in full). I’m considering keeping \~6–9 months of expenses in cash as an emergency fund and investing the rest in a more diversified, mostly passive portfolio (likely broad US + international index funds, maybe some bonds). Given this profile, where would you invest the $50k, and how would you split it between retirement accounts and taxable to balance diversification, tax efficiency, and my existing tech exposure?

Why QQQ lagging SPY

Think QQQ essentially made it to the short term target if you're trading (which I don't, but I'm trying to ease off observing too much). Next question in the room is what happens on the ORCL/AVGO reports.

QQQ is a beast for being up while msft, nflx, meta shitting the bed

johnmiddle

A **$1 billion purchase of QQQ would likely slow the selloff of the Mag 7 stocks but not immediately reverse their course**, as the QQQ price is primarily driven by the underlying components' performance, and a $1 billion purchase might not counteract a widespread **-10%** market move. The NQ futures would closely mimic the QQQ ETF due to a high correlation and arbitrage mechanisms. Impact of Buying QQQ on Mag 7 Selloff * **Temporary Slowdown:** A **$1 billion** purchase of QQQ is a large trade, but in the context of the total market capitalization of the Mag 7 and QQQ's massive daily volume, it would likely only provide a temporary increase in demand. Authorized participants (APs) would buy the underlying stocks (including the Mag 7) to create new ETF shares to meet your demand, which would provide some buying pressure. This process ensures the ETF price stays aligned with its Net Asset Value (NAV). * **Magnitude Matters:** A widespread **-10%** selloff in major, highly liquid stocks like the Mag 7 implies a strong, broad market sentiment change or significant news (e.g., related to AI or interest rates). A **$1 billion** inflow might not be enough to counter the massive selling pressure from the rest of the market. * **No Immediate Reversal:** The fundamental reasons driving the selloff would still be in play. Your purchase would be absorbed by market makers and arbitrageurs, and the stocks would likely continue to be influenced by the prevailing market sentiment.  NQ and QQQ Relationship The NQ (Nasdaq 100 E-mini futures) and QQQ are extremely highly correlated, with a correlation of around **0.98**. The two would closely mirror each other. The arbitrage process ensures that any significant price deviation between the ETF and its futures (or underlying basket of stocks) is quickly corrected by high-frequency traders and APs to capture riskless profits.  The "Tail Wags the Dog" Dynamic  The question of whether the underlying stocks move the ETF or the other way around is a classic market debate. * **Dog Wagging the Tail (Traditional View):** The performance of the underlying stocks (the "dog") determines the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the ETF. The ETF price moves to track this NAV. * **Tail Wagging the Dog (Modern View):** In some scenarios, especially with large ETF inflows/outflows or intense options trading activity, the ETF (the "tail") can influence the underlying stocks. When there is high demand for an ETF, APs must buy the underlying basket of stocks to create new ETF shares, putting upward pressure on those individual stocks' prices. * **In this Scenario:** Since the Mag 7 stocks were already in a heavy selloff, your QQQ purchase would create a counteracting force. The arbitrage mechanism would ensure that the buying pressure from the QQQ trade is transmitted to the underlying stocks, thereby influencing their price trajectory to a certain degree, but the overall market sentiment would likely dominate the direction.  Ultimately, market prices are a balance of buyers and sellers, and while a **$1 billion** order is substantial, it operates within a global market with trillions of dollars in daily volume, where fundamental news and broad sentiment are the primary drivers of long-term price movements.

The year is 2026. Spy is $420, QQQ is delisted, VIX hit 700 before SPY ever did. Bulls have been culled, reality is slowly creeping back into the markets as the real descent to SPY $100 begins. Gods lessons are so beautiful.

Consistent-Duck8062

Would you really call +13% yoy "pump as no tomorrow"? Especially considering the real inflation is somewhere above 4%? Even tech heavy "bubbly" QQQ is just 19% up, which is sure better than sp500 but I wouldn't call it pump of the century.

Everything else aside, you're currently completely diversified. Investing in MSFT / ALPH / AMZ isn't diversification, you've **already** invested into those by investing into VOO and QQQ, which are already heavy on m7... If MSFT goes down, your VOO and QQQ go down too. Not by as much, but still. Real diversification would be investing into assets outside of the ones you've already invested in.

Chatgpt is saying 25% gold/broad commodities, 25% world-ex usa with EM, 35% QQQ/s&p100 quality large caps, 15% short (0-3y) duration bonds. Seems sensible, not too different from a good 2010s basket but tilted towards mild dollar debasement and US stagflation. Possibly also a dedicated healthcare/defense/utilities/infrastructure slice up to 15-20%, but then you're really expecting the next few years to be rough.

Fast_Half4523

why did QQQ drop so quickyl?

altarius_ETI

ngl you’re already way ahead of the curve at 20 – regular 2.5k/mo is the real superpower here, not the perfect ticker mix. Right now you’re basically running an all-US, mega-cap growth bet (VOO + QQQ + the same names again as single stocks), so you *are* diversified across companies but not really across regions or factors. You don’t need to wait till some magic “age” to start adding a bit of **intl** or even a small bond slice; you can slowly tilt that way any time your risk tolerance says “ok, this volatility is enough.” A super boring but strong setup would be something like broad US + broad ex-US as your core, then decide later if you still wanna keep QQQ / single names as a small spice on top. Not advice, just how it looks from the outside tbh.

EventHorizonbyGA

If you want to understand why holding TQQQ long term is bad just look at the return of TQQQ from 11/2021 through 12/2024. During this period of time TQQQ returned 0%. Whereas the QQQ (the 1x ETF) was considerably up. The problem is TQQQ is adjusted every day for drift. So over time it will decay due to volatility. Click on the 5 year here to see the this effect. [https://stockanalysis.com/etf/compare/qqq-vs-tqqq/](https://stockanalysis.com/etf/compare/qqq-vs-tqqq/) If the AI bubble bursts or just deflates a little holding TQQQ can wipe you out entirely.

DontPeeInTheWater

You're splitting hairs. You stated that QQQ, about 50% of which is the mag7, is very likely to continue to outperform VTI. Based on what?

Leading_World_3813

That’s how it used to be. TSLA is one of the few tickers that now has 0DTE options every single day (Mon–Fri). They drop them at like 3am ET and they expire at 4pm the same day. Just pull up the chain in whatever broker you use and you’ll see expirations literally labeled: Dec 10, 2025 (0DTE) Dec 11, 2025 (1DTE) Dec 12, 2025 Dec 13, 2025 (weekly) etc. Same for calls and puts, full strike range. Been this way for TSLA (and SPY/QQQ) since mid-2023 when the exchanges started daily expirations. So, every morning you can sell a put that dies at 4pm. That’s why the theta on these red-day + green-overnight setups melts so fast, literally hours of decay instead of days. Welcome to the casino!

Even-Taro-9405

Yeah, I like simple. For years I invested in individual stocks. Bought and sold when it felt right. Holding for 1yr minimum to avoid short term tax. I did well. It was always a bit stressful deciding what to buy, when to sell, how long to hold cash. Some years better than SP500, but never consistently better. So 15yrs ago I put everything into SP500 and QQQ. It worked out. I guess I was lucky.

TheInkDon1

The question IS a bit too basic, but not because of the options aspect. Have you invested much? Like a few years' worth? Even if it's just shuffling money around your 401(k)'s offerings? Were you invested through the Dot Com bubble of 2000? The housing market bubble of 2008? I'm guessing neither. But that's okay, because those were actually slow train wrecks that anyone paying attention just weekly could've traded out of. Heck, maybe even traded *through*, because something is *always* going up, even in a bear market. What about the COVID crash of March 2020? That's an especially appropriate one because it was so fast and so deep. And yet *because* it was so fast and deep, and due to an overblown worry, "the market" recovered quickly. How long did it last? Go look at a chart of SPY and adjust it to show you just 2000. 3 months. That's it. 3 months after March 3rd, SPY was back to where it had been. (QQQ or any of the other indices will be similar.) Can you see how LEAPS Calls could easily carry you through a drop like that? But don't hold them to expiration! Because expiration might've been 1 of those 2-3 months the market was down. That's part of why I keep mine out beyond 1y, as outlined in the post. Take care.

Fluffy-Word3110

We all know what the next big crash is going to be. There's going to be some fraud involving AI where we find out some of the big investments by the MAG 7 were getting no returns or are straight up fraudulent. All the AI startups will vanish overnight and QQQ will be halved. But we have no idea when this is gonna be. It could be next week, or a decade from now.

Slightly-Blasted

The most sought after IPO next to openAI. Next year gunna be huge. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were immediately added to spy and QQQ.
