Confirming that SPY cured my cancer and the aids bers gave me friday

Buy far out of the money zero days to expiry calls on SPY and pray it moons. Tho its far more likely to turn $300 into $0 or else we'd all be doing it.

Wonderful-Smoke843

It’s way too bullish in here lmao you’d think SPY cured cancer

2ManyCatsNever2Many

some considerations on ETFs / mutual funds: * VXUS: International as mentioned in another comment. Performed much better than SPY in 2025. * VYMI: Similar international exposure but I believe with a stronger dividend presence. Likewise much better than SPY last year. * EWJ: Japan - also performed well and many analysts are calling for strong GDP performance from Japan in 2026. * VGK: Europe-focused fund returning near 50% over 1 year (really puts into perspective how poor the US has done). * EWY: South Korea - blew up last year as this is *highly* dependent on microchips but does give some external US exposure. * VNM: Vietnam - a true "developing" play but if one follows the talk about where many people are traveling, then it's not a bad idea to let some money invest there.

Futes open. You can see the price of gold & silver (among other commodities), and you can see the overnight SPY price. Though the stock market volume is so low it barely matters. Entertaining regardless.

The dollar devalues so stuff has to go up, apparently it’s not SPY or Gold or Silver or any other mineral or Corn. So obviously Oil will go up. The fuckers at JP Morganstein can’t naked short oil. They would make enemies of the entire world.

As someone holding calls for Monday, do you guys stop looking at the chart halfway through the day or something? I'm seeing this common theme here where we'll see a -1% that claws almost all of it back during the day, and yet you guys deem it as a brutal day. No dawg, you already missed most of the bounce. I got cooked for buying and suggesting weeklies on the -$12 SPY dip on Thursday, because Friday was red and we didn't bounce. That's because Thursday already recovered $9 of the $12 dip. Same with Friday. If it opens red, don't be salty that we didn't see a bojnce fro. Friday, when Friday already recovered itself for the most part.

FloppyButtholeJelly

I honestly have 10 SPY calls….. my thought was all the profit taking from the silver sell off would rotate back into the S&P. But I pee in my own bath water.

I think this is the right answer. Precious metals could keep climbing, but they are not necessarily a safe hedge at the moment due to recent volatility. I think developed and emerging international markets might be the play for the safe, slow, and steady investor. Just some food for thought, (VEA) an index holding only developed foreign markets and excludes the US, printed 34% last year, where as SPY printed about 15%. If the dollar continues to decline, this will be the right place to be. (VXUS) is also a great foreign market index, but also includes emerging markets like China and Taiwan, whereas (VEA) does not. Best of luck to you all.

Anyone else feel like we might have some kind of cascading effect? Silver & Gold drop, BTC drop, followed by a market drop? If silver can drop 30% in one day, what makes you think SPY or the AI circlejerkers can't do the same? I'm not saying it'll happen but I can't see people looking at this market and feeling safe about pumping more money in after what we just witnessed.

orangeyougladiator

SPY $705 is only a 1.5% move up. Genuinely possible we open above 700 before closing above it.

fire_alarmist

Impossible to say, we are in the end game now where the backroom, secret deals are getting made with government entities that will entirely dictate what happens with the stock market. It is impossible to know what will happen without being privy to the insider information here. TBH tho if it doesnt drop much on the open I think SPY 650 puts that expire after April 15th would be a good play.

ETFBro4DaWinz

Euro denominated SPY up 0.31% over last year, USD denominated +15%, EURUSD +15%. The forced rotation to Europe is just a high correlation trap.

TT_Vert

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have been watching many vids and what confuses me in [this video ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a0BRIAufBA&list=PLVCuZ_bU6InHmD1FSWqzrTeyU5RkJQqVF&index=6) is he is always using the value at the expiry date of the contract, never implying that at any point the buyer could call away the shares. This is my grey area on when a buyer decides to take their profits and call a contract vs. letting it ride to expiration. Maybe he is just doing this for ease of calculations/illustration? Sorry, I did mean to say buyer. As I said I'm very new to options and just exploring options. I have some stocks that I plan to hold until retirement (20 years) and i'm looking to just make a little more return on them. In a roth I hold a decent about of FXAIX that I was considering moving to SPY so I could do some long calls on them for just that purpose. **Doing the math.** FXAIX is up over SPY about .05% over the last 5 years and the Net expense ratio is .0015 for FXAIX and .009 for SPY. That puts FXAIX ahead by .075% to begin with. That's only $75 on 10K so not much. **Correct me if I am wrong but, tthe financials look like this based on current SPY options chain 5/15 740 strike price (I think?).**    **If it is called away** **on 5/15** * Sell 100 shares at $740 strike price May 15^(th).  $4.59 $459 * Profit to $740 ($740 strike price-$691 price at time of purchase) $490 **Total profit:** (If called away): **$5,640**  Note: I do understand I am capping my upside here, but this is also being done w/ the assumption the S&P 500 is going to be stable or or at least not up over 7.5% by 5/15. (if option expires worthless): **$459** for a return of (.6% gain, annualized 2.14%) for doing nothing w/ something I am already holding.  I'd love options on this though process. It feels like it's a win win for me w/ a slightly capped upside but at least a 2% annualized profit. I do understand that if SPY went up 10% 3 months then I'd be out that 2.5% difference of course. Thanks much, Dave

floo82

We've really not moved too much up in SPY/QQQ since what, the Oct/Nov highs? Kinda ranged around a bit. Big money scuttled off chasing commodity plays maybe. Or doing tax things. Letting ERs come out for MAGS and seeing what the AI trend was doing. If the USD ranges up and metals die back a bit further by the end of this month, maybe the speculative money comes back. Mango could always do something wild as well and inject some real vol, that always brings the money back around.

When gold tanked on liberation day last year in lockstep with SPY, that was a big warning. I got out of gold midway through last year. It kept running far longer than I thought it would, so I left money on the table, but in general, you don't want to see your gold moving candle by candle lockstep with the stock market. Especially the periods where both gold and the USD were increasing.

My safe 50%+ in T is going well tbh. Not very responsive to shifts in the S&P, extremely good financials, very under priced and a handsome dividend. T is going to be my SPY until the inevitable correction

Silver dropped by 30% on Friday, and SPY was down .3%. Gold and silver have market caps that are much bigger than 🌽

drummer820

I didn’t formally backtest but I think international substantially outperformed in 2025. For example, VXUS returned ~32% while QQQ yielded ~21% and SPY was ~18%. My strategy is a little more nuanced than those three but it’s a good illustration. I also leaned towards dividend plays with DRIP to make progress during periods of sideways chop and volatility

Happy-Champion1661

BREAKING: Iran prefutes just opened, SPY is at 769.42 and NVDA is bankrupt Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Riddlfizz

Ah, that's right. Daily 0DTE ETF options (e.g. SPY) expire at 4:15 pm ET. But Cash-settled daily 0DTE index options (e.g. SPX) expire at the 4:00 pm ET close of regular trading hours. And, as you noted, future expirations of SPX options can typically be traded thru 4:15 pm ET (and beyond at some brokers). Relative to your initial post, not a definitive answer, but the closing 4:00 pm price of SPX isn't completely set in stone and remains subject to settlement. But an SPX option that expires/settles OTM is going to settle at $0 when all is said and done. If you're referring to (slightly) ITM options, those can/should be expected to be credited as cash.

byfrax

So what you're actually saying with this graph is you could actively tradd it to outperform SPY by a large margin.

Ok_Cry7572

VIX rose nearly 17% in the month of January, with S&P500 producing a positive return. That's a pretty large amount of hedging activity where nothing happened. If nothing macro comes to pass soon, that gamma unwind sends $SPY $QQQ higher

paranoidindeed

PE in the SPY higher than Microsoft is insanity

du_duhast

But MSFT is in the S&P500... The law of averages means that 250 of those companies will exceed SPY and 250 will perform worse.

Maestrosc

Because this is how you turn billions into trillions. You get the market to panic sell. You scoop the panic sellers and go long before rates change launches SPY To 10k. The goal is to leave most of the population behind and get so far ahead of them they are all basically slaves (even more so than we are already) This is how the hedge funds and the manipulators and controllers leave the rest of humanity behind.

>To actually buy an option on futures requires crazy high margin or account balances. 100 shares of SPY is $69k. The march expiration $690 call is $1782. Two micro E-mini (MES) futures contract is 2x $34k = $68k for March - which is what we expect because that's the equivalent notional value to 100 shares of SPY. Two $6900 call options on that futures contract, with the same March 20th expiry, is 2x $930 = $1860, which is basically equivalent. It does not require "crazy high margin". On the contrary, because futures contracts use SPAN margin, to hold the same short positions on the two $6900 call options on MES requires only some $3500 of maintenance margin - compared to some $16k for shorting the one SPY call.

714trader

Futures Options are more capital efficient. It’s not crazy high margin needed. And you get tax 6040. Superior to say SPY options. Many people answering here probably never traded futures options.

TJMBeav

$5 SPY move times hundreds of contracts times 100 shares per equals: #***LUNCH MONEY***

KrabbyPattyCereal

To actually buy an option on futures requires crazy high margin or account balances. Additionally, think about it like this: Let’s say that you have a stock (or commodity) that is Price A because of a bunch of math. Now, imagine you run a first order derivative on that math (remember calculus?) to get the price of Future A. Finally, imagine running ANOTHER derivative on your already derived price to get Option Future A. If you took calculus, you’ll know that you can have many different equations and get the same derivative. With that being said, it’s kind of hard to predict the price of the derived product based on what the underlying does because it could do a ton of different things and still generate the same derived price. Think about when you’re watching SPY options and you’re like “man what the hell, why is my option not moving even though the underlying moved??”

So that chart shows MSFT outperformed the Qs during the '22 tech winter. Dips occasionally very briefly below SPY performance, which is then followed by massive longer stretches of outperformance. Yeah, I'd say that's a bullish chart for MSFT if you want to judge just by that.

SPY is pretty risky right now with the way things are going with AI. The top few tech companies will just eat up more and more of the total market cap over time as robotics and AI become more advanced

gotcreme

No way MSFT is a safer investment than SPY

Fun-Marionberry-2540

It does not, but SPY has always given a higher dividend, although I will implement the total return feature and add a toggle.

CalebVanPoneisen

I’ve checked and you’d still have a higher return with SPY.

Nope that's not a rugpull. Take a look at INTC's chart, that was a rugpull on an overpriced stock. SNDK was moving with SPY after it's gain. SPY was just cooling off a bit after reaching 7000. SNDK will definitely go to 1000 this year.
