the part that can catch you off guard is how quickly those cheap 0DTE contracts lose value when QQQ stalls. you can get the direction right and still watch the premium disappear because of theta, especially with OTM calls that are nowhere near the strike.
So you think QQQ will hit 350 in April or something?
How are you determining what direction QQQ/SPY will go?
QQQ and SPY options etc have basically no bid/ask spread

Loaded up on QQQ 700p 3/27 for circuit breakers like this
Yeah, you're dead on. That's part 1, the spend is unreasonable. The problem is the backlog for a lot of these very expensive companies is only going to be consumed if the ridiculous revenue projections from OpenAI and Anthropic actually get hit. As it is, OpenAI accounts for a huge chunk of Azure business at my former employer and a large chunk of their backlog. Growth isn't coming from their existing customer base. It's not just that OpenAI and Anthropic go under (I'd wager one and most likely both are bankrupt in 5 years). All the neo clouds go under in that situation. Oracle likely dies. The backlog at the Mag7 (minus Apple) shrinks massively and the rest will take massive write offs on their Capex at some point while being saddled with the debt that they've taken on. Some banks (Softbank and Blue Owl) likely fail along with most of the AI based startups. The S&P is weighted 34% tech or something like that. QQQ and RUT will get killed. That will end the K in the K shaped economy, which will ripple out to pretty much everything in some capacity (even Costco and Walmart as they will hurt less when demand destruction hits). Even Apple gets hit in a recession.
When you say index funds are you talking SPX/SPY/QQQ options or shares in SPY/VOO and other various S&P ETFs? Because that is what I did and made jack shit given all the volatility.
Bro you made money. I had 3k worth of QQQ665 puts t’d up at open for 0.3, pussied out, they closed at 20.0. Too regarded should’ve just downsized and gone in.
NVIDIA and QQQ getting chinese pump?
Yeah, it’s not quite a correction yet though. It could still pivot on support. And yes eventually QQQ will return to ath, and so will those companies. But if this is a correction, we should be back to ath in April next year.
Well we're already in correction land on the Nasdaq and IWM. The S&P is the one trying to stay out of it. The level of manipulation though to cause the needed rally to salvage things for Anthropic though would be insane without investment banks risking committing hundreds of billions. Manipulating the space sector was much easier. Even manipulating tech to stay this strong for this long took months and months of effort. I think they got caught with their pants down just how bad credit deteriorated. They really should have just done the IPO a month ago. Not saying we don't see a rally. I'm kind of counting on it. I just don't see QQQ returning to AtHs when like... do you see MU getting back to $1200? SNDK getting back to $2300?
We've already hit the QQQ and SPY 200 daily ema I think
It’s a humble brag. Many of us have 5-10x our net worths past 3 yrs by investing in SEMIS AI early. Losing 30% during a -15% move on QQQ actually proves you have a good portfolio.
VOO has a lower expense ratio than SPY. VTI includes small caps and mid caps and doesn’t just track the S&P 500 so that’s up to what you want to expose yourself to. QQQ tracks the nasdaq and not the S&P.
QQQ will retest 634, it's almost a certainty at some point soon (October 2025, January 2026 highs)
Buying the dip on QQQ after 5% for it dump another 5 sigh 😞, prayers that Santa bring us to the moon
BRK crushing QQQ. Value investing lives.
QQQ will jump to 120/200EMA next week at least one day, might be monday or tuesday. However that won't stop the drop.
Bears will make so much money soon. Shorting DRAM, QQQ or SOXX is pretty much free money. Though maybe wait for a big bounce first.
I deployed a bit less than 150k or about 30% of my cash stash into QQQ and SMH. We'll see how it shakes out. Anything can happen.
I guess it’s more of a feeling than a set criteria. I had plenty of alerts go off - single day QQQ drop, etc. I want to feel like I can double my money on something like Google or Apple or something else I feel is “safe”.
Well while there might not be an app to put your money in and just leave it but with investing having a long term outlook is the best way to start! There are several ways you can go about it and we believe investing is one industry you can truly learn through reading. Build a competency in a specific topic or industry and learn as much as you can about how it works. Then narrow it down to the companies that have the largest impact and the most innovation to be relevant over 5-10 years and begin evaluating them with that lens. A few ways to start are reading the intelligent investor or warren buffet’s annual letters or even the undercover economist and such books to get you a good foundation. Some brokerages to begin with are interactive brokers for ease of use and their UI being easy to understand and set up others are Charles Schwab or Robinhood even. However regarding a set it and forget it, that is more along the lines of a broad market ETF tracker of the S&P 500 for example, especially if you don’t have a conviction or a mix of some like VOO or QQQ. Remember investments are safe for the long term but unsafe for the short term due to volatility which gets diluted the longer you are in it by virtue of long term advancements and growth. These give you exposure to all sectors and the largest companies rebalanced by many many eyes on the market.

Past 1 year: * MAGS: +2.8% * QQQ: +7.6% * SPY: +9.5% * XLK (Tech): +14.3% * RSP (Equal weight S&P): +15.1% * DFIV (International Value): +18.8% * BBCA (Canada): +20.1% * AVUV (US Small Cap Value): +22.4% * AVLV (US Large Cap Value): +26%
QQQ is Nasdaq, which is mostly technology, right? With technology being so popular recently, it makes sense for it to come down eventually as opposed to less exciting non-technology stocks. But don't worry too much. I'm sure that Nasdaq will recover in no time anyway. The issue with "timing" the market is exactly the fact that you are physically incapable of timing it to begin with. That's the reason why you are upset. Wait a minute... did you get paid $400k last week?! You either timed the market, or you have more than enough income to live in luxury already.
Maybe sideways until earnings from CRWV or NBIS. But highly depend on QQQ or Semis as they are directly relevant.
why VOO and not SPY or VTI or QQQ? Those are the popular ones I’ve been hearing.
True, at least that will keep QQQ somewhat stable.
Lmao I had QQQ puts at 8:30 AM $2.5k worth and chickened out before the open for $300 loss would have been worth $30k but then revenge traded and lost $5k
QQQ back to 700 this week
I switched back to bull after huge selloff. AMD at 400 is a steal. Hard to say if we see a huge rebound. But i think it oversold. QQQ is down 15% in a month! .People gotta be more descriminating with tech stocks tho. Intel is not worth its market cap. Otoh, SK hynix is bargain. I think my bullrun of cruise stocks is nearing its end. Though I could easily see another 20 to 30% gain for them if right end of year rally. I need new sectors to cash in on Especially if tech downturn continues
First, I’m not a big believer in international. I don’t understand those markets well enough. Also, long term, foreign has never outperformed US equities. Not today it can’t, it just never has. And there’s a reason for that, with few exceptions, no one is as pro business as the US. Germany is the manufacturing hub of Europe. It’s seen zero growth in 20+ years. Eurostox has seen zero growth in 20 years. Meanwhile the S&P is doubling every 4 years. Second, diversity is one way to protect yourself. The problem is, those “diversified” funds are no longer diversified. They are extremely too heavy as well and extremely exposed to tech. Go look at the top holdings of SPY, QQQ, IXN, XLK, SPYG, SPYV, etc. you’re in for a surprise . . . They all hold the same equities. They are all extremely top heavy. They’re not as diversified as they once were.
QQQ barely down 13.8% (SPY 4%) and retards are already getting liquidated. What will happen to us when QQQ declines 40%?
I lost a little bit more, around $300K, when the yen carry trade unwound, QQQ went down 5% overnight, my short calendars went 100x, and I had to cash out tens of thousands from my IRA to pay back the debt incurred when my broker liquidated me.
Real talk, ANT ipo will probably drain more liquidity from the market. More Pain for QQQ?
I'm sorry man. I have $800 calls on QQQ that expire on Jan 15th. I bought them Oct 21st. Looks like a blue Christmas for everyone
It was a weekend risk sell off, we've all seen how the US Admin typically waits for weekend to escalate with Iran. Money that jumped in Thursday, taking a quick easy gain, before the weekend was how I read it. If you're bullish what your most likely to see tomorrow it a dead cat bounce to a higher high, that probably fades, but than rallies into end of day. 740$ on SPY and 660$ on QQQ, flipping to support would be bullish to me (wouldn't love RSP losing 215$ as well)
Try 65,000% or more. The $760 QQQ puts were at 0.02 the night before and $5-6 day of and went as high as 1500. Freaking 6.5% drop will do that. Imagine full porting 0DTEs $35 OTM and actually holding all day until it hit lol. A $2000 margin acct could be a millionaire in 1 day. Insane

Fuck it QQQ +730 mid-December then :chad:
tbh, it was revenge trading closer to the end of the day where i went all in with options. Thought i saw some RS on PLTR and picked up on calls at the nasdaq bounce from 27k but theta ate all of my profits away. What would your suggestion be regarding the sizing? I am also currently aiming for QQQ puts at the open today and switch it to calls within first half an hour

Not trying to be mean but NO bc its not real money and its easy to make a lot money paper trading - it builds false sense of security/ confidence, you can develop bad habits too bc its not real money You should only be using paper trading to learn your trading platform, how it works(buttons), order types etc. Trade with real money and I guarantee you wont have trades like this unless you have money to burn and can take big risks. Get your feet wet trading ONE share of something, for ex if you want to trade QQQ you can instead trade SQQQ($47 pro shares short) or TQQQ ($52)
The inevitable pump in the QQQ soon is going to be immense. 7% up in the year is a JOKE. Greasing my nuts as we speak.
Whichever party we put into white house, they always work for the elites, not Americans. QQQ $800 in 6 months. SOXX $250.
Literally, just from holding TQQQ. No options nothing, just 15% dump on QQQ which translates to my asshole getting fucked
Gettinng Puts on QQQ for the next Day on GTA 6 release.. gotcha.
My math is not mathing on the charts... 2027 could seriously be a 2022 type bear market... year long decline. QQQ to 420.
All I want for Christmas is QQQ above 700
QQQ? Of course tech is in shambles. I’m talking about the real market SPY. 😋
SPY drawdown: 6%. QQQ drawdown: 14%. LMAO
That probably shouldn't happen, no, but the phantom prints and put buying were kinda scary. Mini bear market is on the table in QQQ especially into the end of the year. What is not on the table since people are being loud on it is a massively game changing crash and secular bear market. If that happens, it'll be a couple years from here and it'll be something else causing it.

Fear isn’t there yet? Bro QQQ dropped 15% from ATH, people are panic selling their AI stocks like crazy.
MM's offered "Price Improvements" for SPY / QQQ options as long as it wasn't abused. However Too many people figured the shit out and they shut it down September 18th. I was able to game it out but not abuse it like he did
Rough day yesterday all the way around. I was 100% cash until yesterday. Entered QQQ soon
Done with options, even covered calls and selling puts. need to close and shut off all my accounts. Went hard in QQQ calls yesterday and still got rocked. I was a bear for 2 years and got destroyed now destroyed as a bull . long shares and thats it. Nothing else works.
swung short dated QQQ calls n puts all day idk what to tell ya ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
QQQ is not an AI index. The actual AI funds like SOXX, SMH, and many of the actual AI companies have corrected 30-60%. However, I do believe this is like the first big correction in the Dot Com era where things like Cisco jumped 50-60%, before going on to go back up multiple 100% for the real bubble. I think we see at least another year of insanity before it really pops.
Monday is going to be the biggest single day loss in QQQ history. -48%. I have hedged by buying 1 put.
QQQ looks prime for a giga V
QQQ going flat? I’m buying puts on Monday open
I need a fucking rip on QQQ back to 700 eow
Same. I fell for the hype first with bitcoin, then gold/silver, then memory stocks. All of them are now in the dump. My portfolio is down 60% because of these stupid decisions, when I would have been well in the green if I stuck with VT. Lesson learned. Don't listen to anyone on reddit or youtube who claim to know what the next big thing is. Just DCA in VT, VOO, or QQQ and you will easily beat every stock picker.
Careful bro, maybe we have a green Monday, but this is a pathetic recovery candle on QQQ and SPY. W could ultimately be going lower.
I bought QQQ puts at market close yesterday and of course it pumps for no reason today.
The fact that QQQ is basically going to be flat on a Friday fucking scares me
This is the most bearish green day ever. I expected the day after the worst single day QQQ drop since 2025 tariffs to be much more explosive and interesting
I'm high today, cause it's Friday, I got a job, but I ain't got shit to do (but stare at QQQ) :kek:
QQQ today: Chris Paul hits a huge 3 to cut the lead down to 42.
If Iran TACO happens this weekend, expecting +4-5% on QQQ Monday
Some thoughts on wall street’s fears over Democrat takeover of governorships and state legislatures: Bullish: AI spend is most of GDP growth these days. If there is a significant cutback on AI spend and capex, we will enter a recession. How many of the newly elected Dems have probably internalized this risk and will play a balancing act with that knowledge and what their constituents barked for? Bearish: If we do enter a recession, the SPY will fall 20-30% from peak. QQQ will probably do twice that because of chips and semi concentrations. How many of you will want to be buying by then?
ODTE NVDA and QQQ calls at 8:30 after riding the puts on QQQ yesterday.
Limits on datacenters is a bit bipartisan. Not sure the election is entirely to blame as much as a catalyst. Limits might also make sense. There are echoes of the fiber build out in the late 90's early '00s or the railroad build out in the 1800's, where people are over building infrastructure, hoping theirs will be the one that gets chosen. And which build out wins? Nobody really knows yet. Heck, even something like Nvidia isn't guaranteed, since AI can come up with a new chip design that's better or more efficient than Nividia's, and they become an also ran, like Intel with their x86 vs. AMD, but on an accelerated scale. It is something like diamond hands or wendy's it is a risk on my scale. Ordinary people are right to be leery of data center build outs, I don't want some big noisy thing in my town making my power more expensive, and using that power to take my job. I'm not the one to gain by that, unless I'm seriously invested in these outfits, but even then, I don't have enough capital to make those gains replace my income. And the water, like the Colorado river doesn't have more to give, it is already getting entirely drank before it reaches the sea. Adding a bunch of thristy clankers to the hose isn't going to leave enough for all the people. We're already facing an over population problem, that's the root of environmental concerns. Adding a bunch of fake people eating our resources isn't going to help. The capex spend should be slowed down to a level that matches demand and available resources for it. This rate is unsustainable. These clankers are coming for my $50/hour tech job, being able to do it for $25/hour, but then what am I going to be able to buy with my $12.50/hour service job? Hopefully heat and water, which will be more expensive because the clankers that took my job moved those things up the demand curve. At $12.50/hour, after AI comes to be, I'm not going to have much left to spend on AI or the things it is doing for $25/hour. It's really hard to see the ROI for me as a non-billionaire pleb. I don't see the value in buying that product as a customer myself. If it has any utility, that is above my pay grade. I don't really have enough free cash to spend on the products to justify the valuations, and I don't think other people do either. $2T divided by every man, woman and child in the US is $6k per. I'm not spending $6k on AI, much less $18k to buy it for each of my family too. Remember only 1/3 of US people actually work. 2/3 are either too young or old. Maybe you have an extra $1500/month to buy AI products directly or indirectly, but after food, shelter, heat, water, the things I need for life, I don't. There's not much intangible I'm willing or able to spend $1500/month on that won't give me a return. It is bad enough that's what I spend on health care, which is 17% of GDP. AI isn't going to get to 17% of GDP, there just isn't the room for it, and at least healthcare creates jobs, the largest employer in my town, and most others too. Might be time to check these numbers on a macro scale. I think they have more to come down, or take a while to get back to these stock prices honestly. Maybe they said the same thing about railroads too back in the day. This is the reason I'm not in QQQ or even SPY, but maybe I'm just doomed to be poor one way or another. Maybe for being too much of a skeptic or cynic. I just want to be able to live out my days by finding the thing will let me do that. And dam it, I'd like a little more ram to play some video games to distract myself from this nonsense. Is that too much to ask? Maybe a solution to these datacenters is to go distributed like the seti project, or how bitcoin mining used to be. That could be the disruption that pays, but hopefully it is open like the internet used to be. I've seriously considered using a bitcoin miner to heat my house. Notice how those are now custom built to purpose chips, no longer nviida. Maybe we can just use AI during the day when there's solar, or the winter when we need heat anyway. 24/7 availability might be too much for something we don't need. rabble rabble rabble. world is fed, but we knew that already. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Extremely sorry for the extremely bitchy bears who will get obliterated by QQQ $669.69 close
We'll see. For the record I only own $SKHY and $CAT that I added yesterday. Now my entire $VXUS port got wrecked yesterday since world ex US ETFs are now the same as semi indexes I guess. Just wait until reddit discovers the $QQQ is basically a $MAGS index. But that's also why $CAT and other electrical equipment stocks have been getting wrecked. I should have added $TSM, $JCI, Carrier Global, and Lennox as stocks I will buy next. AI is the future and Robotics will be next. We are not going back to 2019 anymore than we will go back to 2003. That genie is out of the bottle and we have entire countries that are all in that have their printing press to finance this cap ex build out.
The market is in a correction. It is normal and expected. There are always narratives to explain every sell-off but the reality is, it is just the way the market works. It cannot go straight up without pullbacks, corrections, and sideways consolidations. That said, whether this is the end of the "dip" is anyone's guess. Nobody has any clue if we are near the end of a bull market correction or the beginning of a bear market. When QQQ lost its 200-day average in January 2022 it was only the beginning of a very bad year. QQQ lost its 200-day average yesterday. Is history rhyming?
