SPY, QQQ, VOO. They all getting smashed Monday
was he the fucking CEO of 7.3% SPY and 8% of QQQ?
Is the Jensen Huang news going to crash the market? I am new to investment and I would hope to have some feedback of what I should do (inherent a portfolio managed by an advisor for a 1% fee). I have QQQ and XLK (10% each) in the portfolio tied to tech.
Yall forgot NVDA is the market itself anyways -10% QQQ tomorrow hope
Bitcoin looking like it wants to dump along with QQQ
I pray it doesn’t stop further on market open. I can live with 182, means QQQ hasn’t fallen off another cliff

Holeee fuuuck. We mooning hard this week. QQQ +10% this week
i need a 2000% return guys should i full port GOOGL or QQQ
who full porting QQQ calls tmmrw?
The numbers, Oct 30 close to Nov 6 close: SPY -2.7% (755.72 to 735.29), QQQ -5.0% (690.49 to 656.10). Almost all of it was Thursday: SPY -4.4% and QQQ -6.5% in one session, on 130.7M QQQ shares, about four times a typical late-October day (30M to 38M). QQQ now sits 9.6% below its Oct 28 close of 725.61. Options are pricing more chop: QQQ 30-day implied volatility is 30.0%, in the 98.6th percentile of its past year. Data: daily prices and option chains, processed by Equibles.
QQQ just put together back-to-back -2.2 standard deviation 30-day returns for the first time in over a year (251+ trading days). You'll probably want to see how QQQ snapped back the other 6 times in history this has happened. https://preview.redd.it/lnenjy4ggf0i1.jpeg?width=1420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9246f417b0491d8ba7b7a27ef632213180be1e32
Using options on leveraged funds is traded, just use puts on QQQ. They move at the same rate and the QQQ liquidity is better with tighter spreads. The more you know 🌈
Before picking strikes, check what you're paying for vol. QQQ 30-day implied volatility closed Friday at 30.0%, the 98.6th percentile of the past year, after hitting 33.9% on Thursday, the year's high. 30-day realized vol is 28.0%. QQQ closed at 656.10 Friday against 691.95 on Wednesday. So LEAPS bought this week carry close to the richest premium of the year. A call spread, or splitting the entry across a few weeks as IV settles, cuts that cost. Data: options closes, processed by Equibles.
THANK YOU, I feel like I’m insane when I say this and no one’s with me lol. I whole heartedly believe it’s manipulated. Do you remember in 2025 when QQQ dropped 13%, and the NEXT DAY it went up the same amount and recovered over the following week. If people believe it’s anything to do with fundamentals, they are seriously lost. This was purely a liquidation event, nothing more.
You should compare BRKB to QQQ
Horrendous performance from the QQQ
Just trying to share some positivity. I dont see QQQ going below 600. Wish it would id really buy more
So I did a modest amount of buying on Thursday, but by no means wanted to blow my wad trying to catch a falling knife. And all of these new incoming politicians looking to make a name for themselves are going to continue to saber rattle and talk about the things they want to do and plant all these stories like they did about Uncle Jensen. So in any large moves probably keep adding, but is anyone doing any broad Market Hedging? I was thinking about just adding a bunch of QQQ put spreads out into March. I don't have a strong reason for March I just know the market seems to like to bottom at some point in March like it's in San Francisco.
Im in the same boat. Bought 3 Puts on QQQ at close. Sold at 9:30 on the dot due to my history of paper hands 😭 watched the biggest trade of my life print.
I mean 10 points for SPX is 1 for SPY/QQQ, so there's that to keep in mind; if you're holding to expiry it absolutely makes sense to do a debit spread since you save a lot on the premium and should have much better exit in case it goes against you - OP on the other hand seems to scalping, in which case a debit spread basically kills most of the profit, and short time of the trade should let you mostly ignore the premium as you're catching short term price changes anyway or should exit quickly if it goes against you anyway
Mean if AI bubble is popping and crashing, don't think SPY will hold up and not also crash another 20%+ on the way down even if it's primarily QQQ that drops 40%+. SPY may not fall as much, but it will still fall, bc people will selloff their ETFS (401Ks) since boomers hold most of the 401k money and are at the end of retirement and won't risk another Dotcom or 08 like crash this late in their life.
Reading a lot of coping after scanning posts about the Ai bubble, and many are making valid arguments SPY won't crash as much as QQQ and should be okay. My problem is that SPY was only so high because of Ai, and most non-Ai stocks are down 50-70% already, what's been called the "K-market"......so if Ai crashes too, I don't see how those 60%+ of stocks are going to withstand the fall together. Let's say they rotate out of Ai and back into those stocks. Okay, but most of the ETFs are heavily weighted into AI stocks right now as a %age. Also, AI is consensus being viewed as the only future to keep the markets and economies up (If you don't have Ai, you will be a poor nation popular theory) as economies will be predicated on it predominantly for production, etc. Even though right now, the money has moved into consumer staples and pharma, many of those stocks are reaching absurd valuations too, like 40pe on Walmart and Costco. Just don't see how the rest of the market can't fall further if Ai crashes since the ETFs people will be selling (401ks) are mostly AI but also contain the others.
Friday was only the 6th time in QQQ history where · QQQ followed a -6% day with a session where · It never touched the prior day's high or low And how did QQQ do going forward after the past events? https://preview.redd.it/cib3rwdn1c0i1.jpeg?width=1193&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fb9e839d284acff39001e0f051c546cfeab527c
Can I ask what made you think QQQ would dumb? What was your strategy?
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
Ha! Those Chinese SPYs won't affect me. I prefer QQQ!
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.

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
