QQQ

SlartibartfastMcGee

The issue with buying puts right now is that essentially every economic headwind is manufactured and can be corrected in minutes. Tariffs, the Iran war, poor jobs numbers, etc - they are all basically self inflicted for various domestic and foreign agendas, and a small number of people have the ability to do a complete 180 when it becomes expedient. If tomorrow is red, I’m going all in on NVDA and QQQ for the long haul, because I don’t want to miss out on the face melting rally whenever it does happen.

UnivalveX

is QQQ going back above 600 tomorrow 😂

spudbro00

What’s wild is QQQ is still up almost 30% from its April lows last year, still a long way to go down

Technical_Scallion_2

So everything looks completely fucked for tomorrow and all red and no chance of anything positive. So I threw everything into 1DTE QQQ calls, of course.

Peresviet

I have so much margin + cash waiting to sell QQQ puts if this happens. -10% + sky high vixx is a dream scenario.

Wen QQQ pamp to ATHs???

drew-gen-x

Buying the $SPY is fine. But if you are buying the $SPY and $QQQ you are double dipping on tech stocks. But yeah I was unclear. I would buy the $SPY over individual stocks.

Substantial-Use-2867

> I do agree that many here need to diversify and buy something besides $SPY, $QQQ, and tech stocks. SPY is quite literally the definition of diversification. It's 500 companies spread across all sectors. Other than international stocks, how exactly can you get more diverse than that?

So chat, let’s talk. If I believe there will be boots on the ground Saturday/Sunday. What’s the best hedge? QQQ puts? Tech always falls the hardest on declines. Any stocks to short/long?

I am so fk'd But Ill hold these QQQ 640s and pray one day I wake up and we won WWIII 🤡

drew-gen-x

I'm usually pessimistic & I agree with most of your points, but I have been buying this week. I do agree that many here need to diversify and buy something besides $SPY, $QQQ, and tech stocks. They might hold, but if they don't this market is going down. This economy is like a heavyweight boxing champion. He's taken the hits very well so far, but you never know when that one punch comes that knocks him down.

Never seen a clearer bear flag on QQQ. 593 by close

Is QQQ praying for a tweet to decide where it wants to go?

Dear-Original-1024

The complacency in the markets here is worse than in the weeks before the covid crash. QQQ is down 1% since the day before the war started. Oil is up 45%. Betting markets have 72% odds the fighting will go on until at least March 31st. And if there is fighting the strait will remain virtually closed. It's not that difficult to hit huge slow tankers.

Bought QQQ 599 puts and 600 calls, figured I could make a little off of the swings that have been happening for multiple days. Of course it's going to be range bound between the two and neither goes in the money. JFC

and naked 650 QQQ calls also...

greenpride32

I graduated college and entered the workforce during the dot com boom. I own shares of SPY and QQQ with cost basis (well for QQQ) under $100. And I also own more buying it all the way up to $600+. Why would I have any reason to sell if these holdings are for my retirement? If it got to the point the market's major indices lost 80-90% of their value, I would say there would likely be larger worries than how my portfolio is doing. So I have very little concern that my gains are "just paper". Any asset or net worth is just paper until you sell if you want to view it that way.

JayRoo83

I don't trust a fucking thing so just starting to buy some boring SPY and QQQ shares If we continue lower after I'm fully invested, I'll just sell and convert so SPXL and TQQQ Shit is too tenuous to be touching options

Like someone else said here yesterday. They could drop a nuke and SPY and QQQ would only go down 1%. Not even worth buying puts lol

Plunge protection activated, the QQQ is magnetically attracted to 600

PatternAgainstUsers

Lots of great points, you have to understand from a retail perspective most of this is psychological. People don't want to do the work, most likely because they find finance boring. Once you take a deeper interest in trading it becomes very clear just how easy it is to outperform the S&P. I'm not saying there isn't some skillset involved and that it's mentally easy to be pivoting all the time, I'm saying that relative to what the Warren Buffets of this world will tell you, it's technically quite easy. The S&P is not some great difficult giant to overcome... otherwise QQQ wouldn't have beaten it the past 10 years, and that's JUST replacing one ETF with another smaller concentrated one that followed a long term technological trend shift. If it IS possible to beat the market ON PURPOSE, over time longer periods of time (short-term there is always a luck component). People don't want you to tell them that. For one I think guys like Buffett (who has beaten the benchmarks himself and knows plenty of people who have also done it using both the same and totally different methods than himself) are cognizant sometimes of their fame and don't want to accidentally inspire any gamblers. Active management is a form of trading, and trading is definitely active management. Anyone can open a brokerage today and lose all their money instantly, so it's dangerous to get into this game without some study and hard knocks. You basically HAVE to fail first in order to win long-term unless you just come into this with the right mindset from your prior life. Otherwise you won't fear the market enough to respect that you need one or more systems of risk management in place and actually execute them. ETF investors are basically trying to go with diversification as their primary form of risk management, this is fine - but it creates drag unless you pick the exact sectors that are outperforming the market and rotate in time to not give up that gap when things change. I think people underestimate what you can do if you commit all your time to this game TBH, especially now - doing research with AI is faster than ever (it's not a genie you still have to know how to use it and when to challenge it). I outperformed the market when I was a newbie investor several years ago for 2 years straight by about 4x over that period holding around 33 positions simply by trying out one of the popular stock picker services for like $75/year and making a few tweaks. Then I stopped to learn to trade, and now I for example have pivoted late last year into more of the commodity/scarcity super-cycle we're entering. VOO is down 0.81%, QQQM down 1%, VT down 1.4%... I'm up 10.20%, and before the war I was up 16%. That's a big drop-off recently but I've been purposely dealing some damage to my returns as well adding some new hedges for different tail-cases. I'm not the world's best trader by any means, my biggest positions aren't any bigger than about 5% of invested net worth and I typically won't put that into a single stock (targeted ETFs usually) unless there are multiple converging narratives (coinbase for example, short-term BTC trade over the next 1-2-3 years depending how this cycle plays out, but long term I want to also hold them for the agentic economy shift as a wallet provider). One of the things people are trying to avoid is volatility, what they don't usually think about is that over any given time-frame in order to outperform, an give asset or basket of assets MUST have increased vol. to outperform. This doesn't mean volatility = good, there are plenty of garbage stocks that IPO, fall off a cliff and die forever after a volatile period... but it does mean you have to learn to use volatility to your advantage if you want to outperform, people see that as scary. Personally I see throwing my life away at a normal job for any longer than I already had previously as a big risk, I think we take a big risk driving our cars every day... so I reframe risk, but traditional education didn't teach us that. It didn't teach us much of anything.

My theory is that MMs can force swings as far as they want as long as they end up near flat on the day. The specific squiggles (V, W, N) is just a random walk to kill positions. So, barring interesting news, I expect SPY/QQQ today to generally be up until near green and then back towards where we start, like -0.50%.

QQQ will pump first 5 min & then dump. 595 we coming 🩷

WickOfDeath

Here in this sub people would only say you can create passive income by long/short option strategies on SPY or QQQ (both SP500 ETF). Options are risk level 7 (in the EU), ETF are 3. 7 means a total loss can happen where 3 means that there is a slight downside risk.

myboywears

Not on Dow, Nasdaq, SPY, or QQQ

SmallCapsOnly

I’m not saying don’t buy but like damn man people love QQQ but COWG a non correlated tech fund went up in value nearly 50% the same year QQQ only gained 20% Mods can you ban me again from this sub? I forgot how dumb these people are.

NoFly1986

Only long term invest SPY QQQ

SmallCapsOnly

For example, to diversify in tech further buy QQQM(cheaper version of QQQ same package) and pair it with something like COWG now you have two tech funds that are non-correlated because COWG has a different method of tech fund selection. But when people buy QQQ, VT, VTI, VOO they say “great I’m diversified! Well congratulations if you invest $100,000 evenly between those 4 funds you now have $32,000 in the MAG 7 even though the total “funds” in the ETFs top over 10,000 individual companies 32% of the funds are in only 7 of the over 10,000 companies. True diversification is non-correlated asset classes and non-correlated sector funds. Will you end up fine with all your money in those 4 funds? Sure but it’s not as diverse as it could be 🤷🏻‍♂️

spyputs1

Provides 0 insight on what options he bought and demands an answer. That makes a Huge difference, are these SPY/QQQ 0 DTE? Did they expire in/out of the money? Are they some illiquid foreign ETF? Did they expire? do they still have duration? So many questions

Vix I sell naked calls . There’s no premium in the puts. Delta 20 or around the 2SD 35-45 days . Usually on pumps +15% 5 contracts per 1 spy or QQQ Put

For the shiggles I have 1 QQQ C, and 1 USO C. What's the chances I'm wrong on both 😄

Maybe you already knows but you got til 15 minutes after market close for options on the big tickers SPY, QQQ, etc.

TheGeoGod

I think my cat might be right! QQQ to 453!

WiseAce1

No one can answer a person's risk tolerance. You should always have a diversified portfolio. I would definitely lean heavier into tech because of this (40%) spread out. If your not in tech, then you will miss the opportunity for big gains. However, no one should be 100% into tech because like I said, we will have winners and losers. If you need to go 100%, then do QQQ or something like that instead of individual companies. It's too early to pick winners and losers with the exception of the MAG7. The difference now is their balance sheets are ridiculous compared to dot com. Let's put this into perspective. CISCO who was the leader of the dot come at it's peak had a market cap of 500 billion and earned 4 billion in Net Income a year with about 4 billion in cash on it's balance sheet at peak. NVDA has 60 billion in cash with a 4.5 Trillion Market Cap. It could literally fail multiple generations and recover. NVDA had 70+ Billion in Net Income in 2025. The numbers are mind blowing. TLDR: Buy tech but don't try to pick winners. If you have to pick a winner, go MAG 7 route. Either way, increase leverage to tech with a balanced portfolio. Literally everything in the world uses some sort of tech and tech will only get bigger, better and faster. Unless we get hit with an EMP, lol.

Spy and QQQ will open at -2 % at this rate

Disney is a good pick, the rest of the stocks not so much… I would cut your losses and just DCA into SPY and QQQ.

BillAdministrative85

Depends what you’re after, high gains, stability, predictable (as much as you can)? What’s your risk tolerance? Lots of good funds like VOO, VTI, SPLG. Find a nice etf that you like and that people recommend and hold long term. I invest in gold/silver, VTI, QQQ, SPLG, VZLA,GLD, HWM, DRUG. Not stock advise just what I invest in.

MrUnbekanntovic

Fuck me I sold my 605 QQQ put before close

drew-gen-x

These World Stocks have had half their recent gains b/c they are/were a part of the short USD trade and half their growth due to repatriation of USD held abroad being invested back in their home economies. This trade was working great until Trump bombing Iran. Crude Oil is sold in USD so when crude oil prices go up then countries need more USD to buy the higher priced oil. The Asian Pacific area is mostly an energy importer not exporter so they get sucker punched again. With all that said I agree with you and I am in this trade and have been buying $EWY (South Korea) and $EWJ (Japan) for months now as I started buying $ACWX (World ex-US) this week. I believe we are in a new long term cycle where financials, industrials, and manufacturing outperform technology. The countries that started repatriating their USD and investing that capital back home are not going to stop due to recent events such as the Iran war. If anything they are going to be more convinced that they need to speed up that process. And these foreign economies are not as tech heavy as the US so they aren't investing the same high percentage of GDP on tech as the USA. The US markets (the $SPY and $QQQ) are indeed too tech heavy in market cap concentration and those that believe technology can't be replaced as market leaders haven't read history or studied cycles. With all that said a simple World ex US ETF doesn't have the US problem with market cap concentration in just a few stocks or sector so you wouldn't just have to bet on just the Asia Pacific economies. I would consider these recent events as an opportunity to buy although may be diversify and go 50% Asia Pacific, 50% World ex-US. I moved my 401K into a similar World ex-US mutual fund 6 months ago. My 401k really only had 1 option that wasn't US stocks and didn't offer World plus US. Now this is a riskier investment strategy as there will be more volatility as we are seeing these past 2 weeks. The US economy for all its faults and over reliance on tech is sheltered b/c the US economy is a net energy producer.

ecoburner87

the real moves happen in the overnight session because the US government isn't central planning the market to oblivion after 6pm QQQ/SPY pumping then going sideways for 2 days, it's a potemkin village (don't know what that means? look it up)

Elegant_Primary_7133

That’s a logical play, but be careful index inclusions are usually the ultimate priced in events. By the time SpaceX actually hits the QQQ, the market makers will have already adjusted the long dated IV. You might be right about the volatility, but the IV crush immediately after the inclusion could eat your LEAPS before the move even happens.

Mean_Bumblebee1945

I have the feeling we will re visit the QQQ monday low where we bounced off the 200MA. Also for tonight I have a bad feeling.

Whelp. I’ve got QQQ puts Thursday Friday Monday. Usually a bull. Pretending this is a hedge and pretending I’m not hoping I retire next week.

InternNo7510

for wheel traders the only events that actually matter are earnings dates, and maybe CPI/FOMC if you're running positions on SPY or QQQ. everything else is noise that makes you second-guess a perfectly good 30 delta CSP that has 3 weeks of extrinsic left.
