QQQ

Technical_Crow6652

You mean QQQ is more volatile?

HystericalSail

\> Correct. Notice that this is a far different statement than rugpull of the century imminent. We are not arguing on this point. I didn't imply I expected a crypto-like rug pull. I do expect a liquidity drain. Invesco's QQQ is a third of a trillion in itself, and the mimic funds and ETFs will all follow suit. Glad we agree there. That's the huge pool of sloshing liquidity I expect to rock the boat, and possibly underperform longer term due to selling winners like NVDA, GOOGL and AMZN to buy SpaceX at the top of the hype cycle. And if the 2T valuation sticks (which it should, short term, considering how little of the company is being offered relatively speaking) then other indexes and funds will have no choice but to include SpaceX sooner rather than later. Even actively managed funds tend to index quite a bit to avoid drastically underperforming the benchmarks. I did buy back 360 MSFT put contracts I shorted a couple weeks ago. So yeah, as you say, already nutted up and bought puts. Mostly because I needed the cash backing that position deployed elsewhere, not because I expected they'd be assigned. The problem with an options trade is having to be right not only on direction but also time frame. There are more up days than down days, statistically speaking. I'd be a much bigger doomer if I didn't have to factor that into my positioning. The odds are in favor of permabull over permabear. Me, I'm never perma anything.

Nah, you see them all. "Well actually, because he could have gotten 20%, or more, month over month doing everything I would have done, but don't do, he is a ragard!" Oh oh oh, don't forget this jem. "If he put it all in SPY/QQQ it would have been more already! That's the minimum standard!"

>this is not business as usual Correct. Notice that this is a far different statement than rugpull of the century imminent. >QQQ is cloned a dozen ways to Sunday. This is just wrong. God forbid you don't mean TQQQ. Unless you mean the Nasdaq. Only index funds tracking the Nasdaq will have to buy into SpaceX. Actively managed mutual funds like in a 401k will not. There are probably hundred ETFs that have a tech sector tilt. I personally prefer SPMO. Which you continue to ignore exists for some reason. >401ks are FULL of Nasdaq clones No they are not. FXAIX for SPY is not the Nasdaq. Total Stock Market even less. How about you put your money where your mouth is, nut the fuck up and buy some God damn puts instead of rambling to me about how sure you are of the next cataclysm. I'll remember this buddy don't go deleting your account when the next catastrophe doesn't happen 😒. Is it any surprise you doomers are wrong every single time the moment this changes everything is supposed to happen?

SPY, QQQ, IWM….all have the same exact chart. Seems very organic and totally not manipulated.

Forward-Surprise1192

If we do the opposite of each other then it’s 50/50 odds one of us gets rich, right? A few days ago I paper traded QQQ options all day, never lost money I swear. Then I finally use real money and 30 seconds later it drops huge amounts and my stop loss sold it. Right after that of course it jumps back higher. Time to make a investing website for others to follow

HystericalSail

Tell me, how many IPOs get included in one of the most popular indexes on day 1? This is not business as usual in the least. QQQ is cloned a dozen ways to Sunday, and every one of those clones will have to follow in lockstep. That's their design. And 401ks are FULL of those clones if not the branded product. Then there's fund managers doing stealth indexing in order not to underperform the indexes. Elon knows exactly what he's doing with this day 1 inclusion in QQQ. And possibly other ETFs. It doesn't take a chatbot to understand all those funds will have to sell current holdings to raise liquidity to buy into a new holding. That money HAS to flow from current companies market capitalization to provide a new entrant's market cap. What makes this a special case is the ginormous size of this IPO, and the insane, unjustified premium QQQ clone holders will be paying to get it day 1.

Financebro30150

The Nasdaq index change is worth watching but I'd separate the two concerns a bit. Index inclusion itself doesn't mean passive investors are "buying at inflated prices" — they buy at whatever market price exists when rebalancing, same as always. The real risk is concentration: if SpaceX joins at a $1.5T valuation and immediately becomes 4-5% of QQQ, that's a meaningful chunk of every passive dollar that flows in going forward, which could create a self-reinforcing bid. The SEC 15c3-3 change is actually the more interesting part to me. Allowing large-cap equities as collateral for broker-dealer borrowing introduces a reflexivity loop — rising prices increase collateral value, enabling more leverage, enabling more buying. We've seen this dynamic before in other asset classes and it doesn't end cleanly. The Morningstar index methodology discussion is probably the most underreported of the three. If major index providers start optimizing for something other than pure market-cap weight, the whole premise of passive investing shifts. Worth keeping an eye on but I don't think it's a "run from VOO" moment yet — more of a slow structural change to monitor.

Who's 401k is buying QQQ? Theyre all mutual funds that just so happen to have similar tilts. There is no 401k plan that is going to be forced to buy SpaceX in the same way QQQ/QQQM do. >passive funds will need to sell current solid companies This is just completely wrong. I think your AI chat bot is having a stroke. Thats for admitting that you have zero clue on how shit works around here and just parrot the same upboat headlines like the good little sheep you are. >Space X will tank the index 6% That's a ceiling by the way. Because I don't think you understand what you're talking about. Also, liquidity outflow is precisely the point of IPO. It's for the public to buy in so stakeholders can sell out. That's how every IPO in existence works

GrassOrAss954

Go back to $647 QQQ, i’ll buy in there. Thanks.

HystericalSail

SpaceX will be 6% of every QQQ following index. Rug pull not needed, it'll just be a slow bleed to contribute the passive 401k flows as continued liquidity. Eventually SpaceX may grow into 2T worth of assets and revenue as a result. But it'll likely take a long drip of capital from the markets to get there. And that's the problem. Passive funds mirroring QQQ will need to sell current solid companies to raise cash to buy in at a 2T valuation into a company that may one day have revenues and profit high enough to justify a 2T valuation. It certainly won't on day 1. All tech will likely take a hit as SpaceX sucks 6% of oxygen out of the room with a clever bit of financial engineering.

No_Tough_2065

Immm 2hrs from Niagara Falls.. but QQQ s Falls just awakened 

user-namepending

Same deal idiot. Who is forcing you to hold QQQ? When there's already SMPO? He'll even the SPY is already basically tech tilt. Also, you simply fundamentally misunderstand how ETFs work in the first place. If the SpaceX IPO ever does "rug" it drops off the ETF. And even if it doesnt, you really expect me to believe a single stock is going to drag the entire ETF long term? Do you really not grasp the size of these funds?

ATPsynthase12

Yes, you do have to take risks, but hoping to get rich quick by invest investing money in stocks in a video game company that has been floundering for a decade, is stupid risk. To use a similar analogy like sports betting, this is the equivalent of betting money on the Jets winning the Super Bowl simply because the odds are amazing. Yeah, if it pays out, you’ll be the richest man alive, but you’re ignoring the fact that the Jets haven’t been good in like 40 years. If you insist on betting on a risky stock, take the money you would put in Ubisoft and invest it in QQQ or a partial share in Nvidia. At least then, there’s a decent chance based on how heavy the future is, you’ll make some money.

HystericalSail

Every passive ETF mirroring QQQ will be a bagholder, will be providing Elon his exit liquidity for years.

HystericalSail

It gets even better. When SpaceX is financially engineered into QQQ, all the QQQ-tracking indexes will have to sell Magnificent 7 to raise enough cash to buy in at this nutball valuation. This will put quite a bit of pressure on all tech indexes, which will likely sell off. I've moved out of QQQ for that reason. Other passive indexes should be hit less, and are a place to hide out while still receiving upside exposure. After the QQQ bloodbath is over it might be worth looking at various momentum themed indexes.

FlattestPancake

This market is honestly just bullshit at this point. The past few weeks I have been losing like crazy, I can't seem to place a good trade. I was up like 40% for the year, now I am back to even after all these crazy candles on breaking news. I'm about to just start investing in SPY and QQQ for the next few months 😭

Nadenkend440

I suppose it matters what you consider truly "passive." QQQ is passively managed but I wouldn't consider it a passive index.

OCT 29th 2025 - March 30th SPY down -8% OCT 29th 2025 - March 30th QQQ down -12.30% What's all this talk about only goes up this is crazy the market hasn't gone down or sideways for the past 4-5 months???

nope QQQ was -4% prior 5 months sideways / consolodation this is long overdue in fact given inflation and how much more everything costs

Markers been going up. 4 years ago was beginning of the cycle - if you just bought QQQ straight long you’re up 2.5x :/ - don’t use that as gospel for investing strategy. That said finding good stocks and holding obviously is a sound strategy.

QQQ stuck with ZERO VOLUME

MitchCurry

I owned shares for a bit over 4 years. I sold in Feb 2026 and moved the funds into VOO/QQQ/AVDV/AVUV. I got scared off by what AI *may* do to Medpace. Looking at yesterday's report, that book-to-bill is terrifying. It's the lowest level that I can recall in the 4+ years I owned. And book-to-bill is the single most important forward-looking indicator for a CRO. And this isn't a blip. In Q1'25 Troendle said they had a path to re-build book-to-bill back above 1.15 by Q3 & Q4 and they nailed it in Q3 with 1.20. But Q4 came in at 1.04. Now 0.88. That's significant deterioration. Also 26.5% Q1 y/y topline growth is good but FY guidance is \~10% at the midpoint. That's an acknowledgement of major weakness in the pipeline for H2. This would be a wait and see situation for me.

For retail and buy side, options are and should be a leverage tool, so take a view and use them wisely. Having said that, most people can't beat QQQ, not even Warren Buffett. Not trading advice of course.

Secret-External5368

those investments aren't going to be 5-6% of your portfolio, the indexes you are referring to are float adjusted meaning that they only weight based on the proportion of shares on the public market for example, if SpaceX only makes 5% of their shares available for trading (100B at a 2T valuation), the index would weight as if its a 100B company, not a 2T company. I believe this is not true for NASDAQ though, so maybe avoid QQQ :P

I bought QQQ puts today. If the market tanks 5% by end of week hookers and blow are on me.

EvictionSpecialist

31? I would be quite aggressive . XLK, VOO, QQQ, TOPT - That kinda stuff. I dont like international, you might as well do treasuries or CDs at that point. Current NW is 1.1M? Can you live off $40k/year? If you dump your 500k into a home, now you have 600k of investments, with a $200K loan at \~6.5% rate. Dont forget your $700K home comes with a $8400 property tax payment/year, along with maintenance. ( Where the hell is there a nice $700K home in LA anyways?) that's like any 1200 sq ft place right now. My opinion. You either need to work to have that house in VHCOL. or Don't buy the house and you can fck off to Europe, and work at your own pace.

You can’t go wrong with tos, I think it’s the best platform. To provide more detail; when using tos if I want to enter a trade on something like RUT or QQQ I will instantly get filled; when using tastytrade and try entering the same trade you will NOT get filled right away and if your scalping or day trading its a major issue.

There are other rules-based indexes that won’t be directly impacted. Research Affiliates offerings as one example. There is more to life than VOO and QQQ.

Acavia8

Did anyone notice something at \~8:10 Eastern. I was watching RKLB and noticed many red candles, looked and it was the same for many stocks, including QQQ and SPY. All recovered within \~5 minutes. I bought RKLB at the low, when I could find no world news, and as soon as I place an order to sell just under where it was, it got filled, so the recovery was cuik. Look at 3 minute charts overnight on QQQ and SPY and you will see what I mean. Something happened then.

It's still good. non-WSB talk but tech IS the economy. its success bleeds into other industries like more than the naysayers think. in a true downturn, im going heavier on QQQ. if u got the funds, it might be even better go trade NDX instead of SPX

I actually seriously considered this on April 7. The 1-minute price action on QQQ was strongly suggesting that negotiations were taking place but were not public. However, the spread + liquidity would have been a tough position to back out of if it turned out I was wrong.
