QQQ

I am done being an unprofitable trader. From now on I’ll just QQQ/VOO and chill. See you degeneratives later 🙏🏻

all software getting destroyed right now but QQQ AH is still green wtf LMAOOO NOW, IBM, CRM, MSFT, ORCL... also rip LULU

VM how many green hourly candles vs red has the QQQ seen in the last 13 trading days?

cannythecat

QQQ 800 calls for September only cost $2. Don't listen to the bears moaning about "greatest energy crisis of our lives" and "muh strait closed." You will get rich. LMAO 🤌

cannythecat

QQQ 800 calls for September only cost $2. Bears will tell you that they'll never hit but they'll actually print LMAO 🤌

drew-gen-x

46.85% of the market cap for the $QQQ is in its top 10 stock holdings. It's not even an index anymore. The $QQQ has become a reddit ETF of 10 stocks that every tech bro owns. I didn't realize it was THAT concentrated.

vizio1989

On literally any level this market is way fucking overbought. Where the fuck are the shorts???? Who in their god damn mind buys SPY/QQQ at these bullshit levels 

Puzzleheaded_Tie5967

Yeah your 2 options on QQQ really cooked the Bears.

Sober_Alcoholic_

Have to choose an underlying stock, not QQQ itself. Same for SPT. The MMs are in total control of their daily ranges and any even slightly OTM 0DTE’s, on both sides, are getting fucked.

Puzzleheaded_Tie5967

Hold! The minute you sell QQQ and SMH will crash.

Spy or QQQ apparently

snkscore

JEPQ should perform better (less badly) in a bear market but I just don’t understand why anyone would prioritize dividends over total returns. JEPQ performs almost exactly the same as 75% QQQ 25% HYSA so even if someone wanted less volatility they could get it by holding less of the underlying stock to get the same results. But focusing on high yield dividends so you don’t “have to sell shares” is what I hear a lot and it sounds like those people just don’t understand what’s going on.

dude the QQQ hasnt really moved since 10AM

hollow_bridge

sure i agree you don't have his schedule, but I think it's still a valid question, what is enough analysis? The ways in which people do analysis is often different. I didn't need to look at the entire portfolio, by looking at the largest positions and their cost basis it's easy to see that he out performed the market. The smaller and less familiar stocks are just extra, they could be bad investments, it doesn't matter. > I would love to hear why you think someone who got in to NVIDIA at $14.60 is holding at $201 through pure skill Well, it is skill, why did they buy then, why buy so much, why hold so long? These are all indicators of skill and good choices, even if their reasoning behind the choice doesn't seem solid to you or me. > I'd love to hear why you think someone that good needs to ask Reddit for advice there's a world of information and stuff each of us doesn't know. There's a ton of financial instruments I have no understanding of. There are many industry threats people aren't aware of. There are loads of tax details that most investors aren't aware of. > If he's experienced, then either he somehow predicted 14X, in which case he doesn't need to rebalance, he needs to stay the course or even add to position. Or he did not predict 14X, in which case he should have rebalanced like a year ago. Stock analysts change their predictions all the time. Back when it was $15 nobody was thinking it was going to go to 14x, a lot has gone on in the mean time. Many of the best purchases aren't done based on financial details but on recognizing a products quality, or a businesses strengths. Him not having a prediction of 14x definitely does not mean he should have re-balanced a year ago. And to be clear rebalancing such a potentially large position into say VOO inside a year could be more expensive than holding a portion of it for 1 or more years even if the price was guaranteed not to increase, due to the tax implications. > Particularly if he as much time for this as you think rather than as little as I think. I don't think he needs a lot of time, I have 40 stocks right now, I've been trading for over a decade and have always beater every US index and I don't spend that much time doing it. > This is both a strawman and just mathematically wrong No it's not, and I'm willing to prove it. Let's pretend, give me an example of any portfolio and I'll provide an economic situation where it can lose value. To be clear i do think diversification is good, and he should do more of it, which he was already aware of; but moving to VOO or QQQ is a lot less diversified than many people think and would have been far less profitable if he had done that a year ago. I really don't get why you're insisting on historically bad financial decisions as being a good choice. > You really do sound like someone who is similarly exposed And you sound like someone who didn't earn as much as OP and is justifying your own bad financial decisions by playing them off as being safer. My portfolio has many stocks, more than OPs, and I won't try to pretend all my picks are good, but I'm also very diversified, using other types of financial instruments and foreign investments; actually I'm not even in tech very much (the only big tech investments I have right now are TSM and AMZN both at about 10%).

joe4942

There have been two in the last year? The QQQ was down -25% for Liberation day and down -12% due to the Iran war.

In case you guys hadn't noticed, now is not a particularly good time to be trading QQQ/SPY in either direction

ChickenYip

QQQ up but my puts also up ..WINNING

ForceGoat

Yeah I dunno, that's a 41 year time horizon. And $800/month is quite a lot of money, especially back in the 80's. Your math looks a lot different with only a 30y time horizon, it's probably 1/4 of that. Call me out-of-touch,, but I don't think $2 million net worth at 64 is rich. It depends on how you define that. $10 million+ is rich for sure and even with generous numbers, the VOO-style, which doesn't have as much tech concentration, can't get you to $10 million+. The only way you did that is by un-diversifying into tech with QQQ. Past earnings, future earnings, etc. We'll see if the last 40y are typical for the next 40y for the Nasdaq.

SPY and QQQ will rise at least 10% if that is true

i think i just confused the QQQ MM's bought a 652 0dte call and a 653 2dte put lol

eggplant_parm827

There still remains no realistic way this goes down. QQQ is going to eventually hit 655 today. Good luck getting any dip to survive. It's mathematically impossible.

i mean wallstreetbets aside, have you look at the graph of SPY or QQQ? Zoom out and look at the yearly candles... anyone who waited for a 'crash' to get in would have never invested a single dollar since SP500 recovered from 2008 crash....

Alive-South-8808

QQQ not going below 648 today!!!

OptionsProOfficial

Buying OTM strangles when IV rank is low and letting movement do the work can make sense, especially after living through that V‑then‑rip you described. A tool like the OptionsPro Suite could be helpful here for quickly checking IV rank, structuring delta‑neutral strangles, and setting consistent take‑profit/stop rules so you’re not winging it on every new QQQ swing.

ten7four

DIA +2.8% YTD SPY +3.4% YTD QQQ +4.8% YTD IWM +12.0% YTD IWM being that high seems crazy to me. In this environment small-cap stocks have the potential to get absolutely wrecked. Puts are eventually the play, the hard part as always is timing it right.

JellyfishFestival

My two best investments this year are QQQ longs when it was going mostly sideways or down, and then PSQ (short QQQ) on the way up. I know I am doing this the hard way but I am beating the market overall by a good margin and trend chasing feels weird to me and loses me money every time I do it.

OldHamburger7923

You can get rich from ETFs. Assuming QQQ and VOO both exited when someone was 23, and they retired at age 64 in 2026, with $800/mo being added to their portfolio every month. Using those assumptions, the ending value at year-end 2025 is approximately: VOO-style / S&P 500 path: $7.73 million QQQ-style / Nasdaq path: $18.11 million

I think the QQQ had the 13 day streak. Spy had it interrupted earlier by a slight down day.

Various_Couple_764

JEPQ doesn't pay 1% yield it pays a 10%yeild. QQQ in comparison pays a 0.6% yield but has a lot of growth.Covered call funds like JEPQ convert growth to dividend. So you don't get much growth but you get a lot of income. QQQ in comparison has a lot of growth but the dividend is less than 1%.

allroadsleadto1

Fucking Kevin I’m willing to bet my money this asshole is actively shorting QQQ

Bigb4nman

If this is real this is a game changer for swing traders who want to minimize/capitalize gap risk. Hopefully they at least add QQQ and IWM.

No_Needleworker9613

Why is QQQ 2% above the previous all-time-high after 2 whole months of it being closed then? Is everyone collectively retarded?

No_Needleworker9613

Could that lead to a drop of like 10-30% on QQQ? Or more like just 5%?

CommunitySeveral627

Most people will have different style of investing. You are getting a lot of advise here. See what style suits you. I will say since you are new to this start with simple. You can put it all in S&P 500 ETF to begin with. Then start reading more and start watching videos on youtube. When I was new to investing, I watched many videos and found professor G's style simple and solid way to start. He suggested to divide the portfolio in 3 ETS- S&P 500 (VOO etc), growth ETF (QQQ etc) and dividend ETF like SCHD. Once I did that and gained some confidence, I started investing in individual stocks and then after some time, I am now options (selling covered calls and puts). I have much more to learn but I feel good and confident about what I have learnt in little over 1 year or so. Don't be scared and get overwhelmed. Start simple and work your way up one step at a time.

I’m not following the first part of your comment. But I moved into: SPY (followed by SPYM=lower cost). QQQ followed by QQQM (same as above: lower cost) Moved in SMH this last year to take advantage of AI but from a different angle.

It is true lol..but yeah I only trade credit spreads and this is a far safer way to trade than futures. It seems like today might be the first night session so who knows how many contracts will be traded and what the spread is. By the end of the year SPY IWM QQQ DIA. Will be 24 hours too hopefully. And by next year, 24/7 365

Here @OP, I did it for you. This is investing $20,000 as a lump sum, 5,000,000 simulations, picking an ETF out of the given list, picking a date for which data exists (generally, from the start of the fund up until 2020), and investing the whole thing on the next trading day. Then the results are averaged for each year. Prices are accurate as of yesterday's close.

Commercial-District1

Lots of SPY and QQQ options. They pumped like crazy last 15 min. None expire today. I have short and long calls, never 0DTE, so it’s less stressful. $10k is ~ 3% of total port, so the loss isn’t so bad relative to overall holdings. I also have stocks and longer dated stock options, so it’s diverse.

SnooPeanuts8613

Personally I think as a younger person (me too), a leveraged fund or two is cool as well. I buy a decent amount of SSO and TQQQ. 2x SP500, 3x Invesco QQQ. I also like slightly growthier stuff, I saw VOO mentioned, consider VOOG as well maybe too. A split of value and growth funds, maybe with some leverage is the recipe I've been happy with as I've started investing (started in '21 too but I am definitely not in the red)

sensaition

It’s alright dude we all make some bad investments at some point. It’s a hard lesson but now you know: just put it all your actual savings in QQQ. If you want to gamble a little bit, gamble responsibly. Just keep the QQQ nest egg growing

PNWPlayZ

640 QQQ puts will print all week

Snoo23417

QQQ 0.38% down after a bunch of gyrations all day, 0.39% up after market. Perfect.

Gabe_Isko

It's sort of unclear that these Nasdaq rule changes would really effect the SP 500 index because of their indexing rules, so VOO will probably be marginally affected. Definitely something to consider if you use QQQ though.

Forward-Surprise1192

It has to be coincidence of course but wtf. There’s other examples of that to for me. Sure I could read up on them and stuff beforehand because maybe there is a catalyst but still. It even happened today. I watched QQQ all day, near end of day I finally buy and then the stocks immediately drop again. I’ve tested it I stg. If anyone wants to make bank just DM me and do the opposite of my choices. Sorry for the long post but I’m a bit angry

papakong88

Let’s look at a 696/694 for tomorrow. You can sell it for 0.12. The 696 has a delta of 0.10. Now look at the 6985 strike of SPX which has a delta of 0.10 also. We can sell the 6985/6965 put spread for 1.075. Each PS will require 20 of BP. If we sell 10 SPY, we need 20 in BP and get 1.20. Or 120.  Assuming we pay 1.00 in fees per PS, the net is 110 for 10 SPY PS and 106.50 for 1 SPX PS. We could get more with 10 SPY but I would go with SPX for lower tax and cash settlement. (Note: I trade NDX instead of QQQ for these reasons.)

Little-Nikas

So I have insomnia and last night it unfortunately hit me so I got zero sleep. I have never fucked around with options in my life. So my zero sleep brain, which is probably acting about triple DUI limits, decided to fuck with options. I knew SPY and QQQ we’re gonna open hot. So I bought options and within the first 10 minutes I was up multiple thousands. I knew I should sell. I told my wife I’m selling. Lucky first timer got lucky and I’m sure tomorrow I’ll try again with beautiful loss porn, right? I thought I did sell them. But again, triple DUI limit sleep deprived brain, and the fact that they both came crashing down so violently right when I had C suite (I’m the cfo of large non-profit) work meeting that my sell didn’t go through. Come back from my meeting and my account is worth $600. Entire account. $600 Lost tens of thousands 🎉 Will see what I can’t do tomorrow with a real nights sleep. If insomnia strikes again, I won’t touch the market. But I have a fuck ton of weed and my meds (meds failed me last night) to hopefully get back at it. Lesson? When insomnia comes a knocking, don’t touch the stock market 🤣

escooteridiot

Charlie Kirk would have gotten triple leverage QQQ tho

Forward-Surprise1192

I was watching QQQ all day basically waiting to buy a 0dte call or put after paper trading great most of the day. Right when I finally buy a call, the price drops immediately afterwards. I’m sorry guys it was my fault for that dip. People always say that but in my case it’s true. I control the markets and can show you my joystick

Embarrassed_Tax_3181

The QQQ retested its ATH and went down .4% and your calling this a dump? You actually need to touch some grass

MutaliskGluon

oh so the blockade is still there, SoH is still closed, and oil crisis is continuing to get worse every day? Sounds like we need a 3% QQQ up day tomorrow

This is why you don't hold your QQQ and SPY positions overnight. If you have a decent profit, take it.
