I own CATL stocks . Just buy them on the Hong Kong stock exchange (HKEX) . Outside the USA electric vehicles and hybrids are typically 50% of new vehicle sales in most Western democracies. Sales continue to expand rapidly. The USA seems to lag because despite all the complaints; gas and diesel is typically still 50-75% cheaper in the USA of what people in most countries pay. CATL dominate global battery tech and sales . I've owned a small business in China now for 26 years and have been buying goods from manufacturers in China and selling in my home country during that time. I'm a regular traveller to China to trade shows. In the past few years I've seen EV's in China move from a curiosity to absolutely dominanting the market. It's easy to see the future for the world when driving around in China where in about 10 years I've seen gas and diesel cars become dinosaurs . I noted just this week than EV's and Hybrids now outsell internal combustion engine sales in Australia. I use Interactive Brokers( IBKR) online platform to trade stocks all around the world. I've found it's better value to buy stocks direct from their main listing exchange than buy the "American" version on a North American market plus it seems only a matter of time before the Ai bubble bursts and USA stocks crash massively. Virtually all S&P ETF's ROTH's 401k's are dominated by just 7 tech stocks , so even if folks have SPY or QQQ their 401k's are seriously exposed to Ai stock Using IBKR; it's easy to buy stocks all over the world. There'd 2-3 other globally large online brokerages you can use that are reputable; I settled on IBKR because of the range of financial instruments I could purchase . About 90% of my stocks are not in my home country and buying a stock in a different country is no different than buying in my home country. I have stocks in Switzerland , Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan Korea , UK and Hong Kong exchanges . The process is identical . Set up an account on the platform, send some $ and then select the exchanges you want to buy stocks from ( takes about 8-12 hours to add a new exchange ) and then just enter the stock code and your bid price I just sold some GLD ( gold) stocks on the NYSE as rather than "paper" gold I want to buy some physical gold ; it took 4 days from the time I sold the stocks for the money to transfer through to my home country bank account . The delay was because I hadn't set up my bank account to send funds back out of my IBKR account to my personal bank account. Once my banking details were set up in IBLR's system it took about 4 hours for the money to hit my account.

QQQ and SPY are both under their 10, 20 and 50 day moving averages. this is a selloff
When kevin warsh hikes rates, everyone who expects the huge market crash will get crickets instead. they will panic and cover their shorts and puts. This will cause a massive rally in SPY & QQQ until end of day. Thursday will then gap down 1-1.5%.
IT will rip in the morning, then when the announcement happens it will "tank" back to opening prices. Everyone gambling options loses (if you're playing QQQ, SPY that is). You're better off picking a single ticker, I chose ORCL today and that worked great.
i invested into VOO, VFVA, QQQ, SCHD, VXUS, and VTI and for my roth ira, i only invested into VOO, SCHD, VTI and QQQ
It is crazy that despite everything, the market remains remarkably flat. QQQ and SPY flat since May, DOW flat since June. Just chopping along rotating sectors but going nowhere fast. Feels like a coiled spring, similar to late 2025 into early 2026. Last time it broke to the upside in late March with indices gaining 20+% in a matter of weeks. This time? Guess we'll find out sooner or later
Tomorrow: 25bps raise. SPY and QQQ actually go up .35% on relief the fed is intervening to control inflation. 10 year yields go DOWN .2%. Data centers down 2% - 4%.
Could have bought 705 QQQ calls for 1 cent one minute before close. Now worth 50 cents.
QQQ is going to give up all the gains it had over the last 4 months.
Expecting a bounce tomorrow ngl. QQQ and SPY both hitting the lower bollinger bands
Last chance to buy QQQ puts while it’s over 700
This makes me feel better about my dumb-ass self buying a QQQ call. ODTE
WOW SEE, LOOK ABOVE I SOLD my PUTS, and QQQ breaks 704
VTI+VXUS or VT is a fully diversified world market portfolio. QQQ is not nearly as diversified. Nobody knows if VTI+VXUS or VT or QQQ will do better for the future because nobody can predict the future. By being less diversified QQQ has more uncompensated risk vs the world market.
Everyone inverse me to achieve financial freedom Tomorrow I will yeet myself into QQQ 720C
closing my 30k in QQQ puts that expire friday, time to buy (im always early)
Long term QQQ chart says we should dip to around 660-670 and then rocket to ATH right after
all things considered QQQ 705 is a nice up for the YTD
Put support is at 705 for QQQ and 760 for SPY. Good support levels
QQQ since mid June is pretty much repeating the same pattern as QQQ between October last year to March this year. Sideways for half a year.
If QQQ has a -10% day like 2023 year, I will be full porting 2% OTM 1DTE calls. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It depends on what you are trading. Individual stocks. You can get screwed with them if you do not manage them properly. I only place credit spreads on the index’s, XSP, SPX,NDX. They are cash settled. Meaning the most you can lose is the collateral paid. Unlike SPY or QQQ where there is pin risk. You can lose more than the collateral plus any premium you received. If wanting to place credit spreads on single stocks the longer the better till expiration
Hold my QQQ puts or wait till FOMC meeting??
Nothing and everything is priced in, SPY and QQQ are not even in correction phase.
REVERSE V for the 3rd time again, QQQ to 704?
are we closing below 705 today? QQQ
in my opinion, it's best to invest in companies that you personally use and enjoy. I think RDDT and HOOD are becoming very popular and can only grow from here. I still invest mostly in VTI/QQQ/SPY but add a small amount to these two companies (among some others but I don't recommend those to you)
Why are people saying it’s ripping? SPY and QQQ down about .5% lol
That's not IV collapse, that's extreme theta decay. You're learning exactly why you can't hold 0dtes for longer than 10 minutes if it's not moving in your direction. There just simply isn't enough time left for the market to move another $4 higher on QQQ *and then past $709* for these calls to have much meaningful extrinsic value.
if QQQ could just break 700 that would be great
I also think QQQ will fall
They should pump AMZN and QQQ back to opening price to own the libs. I would feel extremely owned and may even cry
QQQ back to open price would be wonderful
Gimme that 701 gap fill on QQQ pls
Bought QQQ calls at 10, sold at 10:40 for a huge loss. Bought QQQ calls again at 10:40 and now holding another huge loss. Give me some luck and let me make back everything within the hour.
What FUD is driving QQQ down? AI BS still or something else now?
QQQ should be at -2% tdy lmao it’s getting propped up so hard
QQQ only down .5% is wild
If QQQ can go to 708 in the next hour I will quit this shit.
Is there any chance of QQQ rebounding today?
Someone said yesterday QQQ is the weak point / TACO kicker. If that’s true , beware the green candle …
QQQ 710 Calls are Fuc
What is holding up QQQ?
Please dump QQQ and SPY :pray:
Everything ⬆️ SPY QQQ ⬇️
I have about 3% in QQQ. That’s the riskiest single holding I have. Everything else is broad market index funds or bond funds.
Guys i sold a huge chunk of QQQ at the bottom , thank me later !
you could have just bought QQQ and held for 10 years then retire lol
What the point even if SPY or QQQ are flat or slightly green, almost no one are earing money. They just rotate tickers and sector almost every day.
If there's something strange In your QQQ Who you gonna call? Hoax buster (bustin makes me feel good)
QQQ won't give up 700 that easy
The day I redline puts on QQQ it barely goes down
QQQ to 700 and I'll close my puts out for a sexy return
NGL glad I’m in QQQ calls even though the 10y touched 5% I knew it was too good to be true to be slangin puts.
Up until one year ago, we were 99% in QQQ. I was 71 and wife 61. I've lived and died in tech since 1995 - but after the tech bubble burst, we got out of stocks and chose etfs. Finally, we decided to get a little less risk aggressive and moved 90% to VOO and 10% cash. Of course this was the year QQQ way outperformed VOO compared to prior years, but no regrets.
Yup. And nothing will happen to markets. At most SPY and QQQ will drop by 0.5%. Nothing phases markets anymore, and its insane. Not even a 10 mile asteroid strike on a 1st world country would send the market lower. I really don't know how to make sense of it.
Is Strangle QQQ call & put into Wednesday decision good idea?
Here's what: Kevo cuts 25bps, QQQ hits $750 and fucks every hedge, yields crater for no discernible reason, Bessent explains what the fuck just happened while eating Doritos, Ken Shitadel and the other asset managers lose their literal shit live on CNN and FOX, and then Donald takes credit for the strongest market in years while bragging about the billions his family made in prediction markets. It will be glorious.
QQQ predictions for tomorrow?
QQQ will be +1% before open tomorrow.......
MU and QQQ rejecting at the 50D is not a good look
I’ve got a lot of QQQ puts. Quite a few. Whole pile.
I had a QQQ short from the high of day and sold it for 400 bucks profit instead of 3.5k holding into the closing. They made it look so bullish that I got scared and sold the first minute of being green.
I ended up going with calls for both SPY/QQQ overnight, knowing how the market may find some dumb fucking way to artificially pump day before fomc decision
Slowest open for QQQ ever.
Fuck it I'll hold these QQQ puts overnight
QQQ down to 700 tomorrow would make me very happy
Spcx, QQQ, SPY all recover. so Lunr decides to drop 3% from where it was at, and is only 1% above today's low. It's one of the cuckiest stocks ever.
We will chop into EoD to exactly 712 on QQQ mark my post. FUCK YA PUTS FUCK YA CALLS
