SPY

Vlisa

Still probably would have beat SPY over the last year.

DumbNutter

Massive fucking profit. At minimum 10x. Then those worthless calls would be a small blip in his huge PUTs gains. But chances of SPY dropping that much is slim to none. Need a major negative event.

the_great_falcon

How much would he get if he was lucky? For instance SPY 686 on Monday

The_real_Covfefe-19

Just plus many into SPY and sell puts credit spreads. Outperform the market. You just need to be up a few percent on the put credit spreads. 

Quin1617

It’s like investing into SPY, “what if it goes to zero?” If the S&P500 collapses, money would be the *least* of our problems.

SPY will close at 695 and GLD at 414.5 on Mondat, Godspeed

BrokenLyte

Strangled SPY and Straddled GLD. Best thing to do is close a leg one when is break even or just outweighing the other leg. Then try to reduce loss on the other leg on a pullback. That would gain some profit for you. But I wouldn’t hold a leg out indefinitely, especially with them expiring the same day (theta).

BorrisZ

Bears won. SPY 600 EOM 

the_great_falcon

is it possible to exercise both SPY options?

DumbNutter

How would the calls be good? Still needs SPY to pop close to $697 to be worth anything.

MundaneOrdinary7493

If I hold the SPY positions till expiration: it will be a 100% loss if SPY closes between 692 to 697. The friday closing price was $694, so this is quite likely. If SPY closes below $691 or above $698, I will be at a profit. If it's at $689 or $700, I will be making +185% gain.

Clueless5001

What would you recommend as your top 5 for an experienced investor? I really enjoyed the psychology of money although I am not sure if it changed anything for me. Have been getting into income investing (I am older) and have been reading Brett Owens, Steve Selengut and Steve Bavaria. Read some of these others years ago, did not find it helped much What would you recommend for my college age kid who needs to understand basic investing concepts and does not know the difference between QQQ and SPY or even what they are?

BorrisZ

Your SPY calls will be good at least.

DumbNutter

For the regards here. Strangles(calls AND puts) bet on high volatility down or up. OP needs a big upwards or downwards movement on Monday. A little leaning towards downwards because he has more puts. If SPY and GLD opens flat as fuck on Monday. His strangles loses massive value due to theta crush due to now being a 0DTE.

When can SPY flash crash back to 500? At least give me 600. 🥹

Sigma-Sansar

If we going back to citing you claim GLD SPY spread options strategy is easy money and a 25% return every 1.5 months, so just go ahead and mind your business and in 10 years you’ll be a billionaire lol. Hell sell this unknown strategy to hedge funds and collect money or create your own hedge fund/exchange traded fund. 😭 I don’t know what to say

LongevitySpinach

Put 95% in SPY, cash equivalents and gold. Challenge yourself to take $5k and do it all again, but more systematically.

Scribble_Box

Hundred percent. Scratches that gambling itch while controlling risk. I actually did this a while back. Put a grand or so into an account purely to mess around with SPY 0dtes. Blew it in literally less than a couple days lmao. Since then I've tried again with a lot more success and a lot smaller trades... Lol. It's actually been a super fun and incredible learning experience. It's taught me a ton about managing risk, TA, price action etc, and has made my swing trading so much better. As long as you treat it like play money that you absolutely don't mind losing, I don't see a problem. Problem is you don't think you mind losing it until you do 😂

FemaleFighterJet

Wow, I must compliment that your stat is quite impressive. Genuinely curious here maybe you can give advice. What do you think about SPY 0DTEs? Have you tried or back tested it? My story: I find SPY 0DTE quite addicting. It’s like a drug. Long story short. I am working on a few pilot projects with trading 0DTE being one of them. I have a separate smaller portfolio size for it while managing the other more successful and consistent profitable strategies separately. I use a monthly tally-up backtesting 30>60>90 day basis. For 60d, I’ve been consistent and was actually winning. Then boom, held out taking profits on 100 contracts (.97 cost basis) and poof…$7K gone. A mortgage payment gone. A vacation gone. A shopping spree gone. A used Rolex gone. The therapy: I should’ve been in and out taking profit no less than 30-45 mins max on a Bullish day, but even then it’s risky. Now I am standing at a cross road. I can manage risks well and because 0DTE is only a small pilot for me, I think I can break even (or might even win big) in 14d…or…I can just walk away and never look back.

FemaleFighterJet

I am going through the same cycle you are. I find SPY 0DTE quite addicting. It’s like a drug. Long story short. I am working on a few pilot projects with trading 0DTE being one of them. I have a separate smaller portfolio size for it while managing the other more successful and consistent profitable strategies separately. I use a monthly tally-up backtesting 30>60>90 day basis. For 60d, I’ve been consistent and was actually winning. Then boom, held out taking profits on 100 contracts (.85 cost basis) and poof…$7K gone. A mortgage payment gone. A vacation gone. A shopping spree gone. A used Rolex gone. The therapy: I should’ve been in and out taking profit no less than 30-45 mins max on a Bullish day, but even then it’s risky. Now I am standing at a cross road just like you. I can manage risks well and because 0DTE is only a small pilot for me, I think I can break even in 2 weeks or I can just walk away and never look back.

Pretty_Ad_7885

I am a bear. And for the last week i have the urge to buy SPY and I feel the market will continue to climb. So boys, the top is in

WickOfDeath

Do me a favor, if you want it safe... put your money in T-notes. Or in the SPY. If you want some thrill there are some ETFs with 3x, 5x or even 10x leverage on the SPY. Or just buy some ES futures with 10% of your cash and let them run, that's around 20x leverage per contract and 2x for your account. Otherwise... you are getting hurt and broke. You dont know what the market does next, but you know for now that you are 120K up. Other people contribute to their pension account for 5 years to be up like that.

AllCapNoBrake

If only we knew where that 19BN in federal tax dollars went. Puts on SPY. Calls on Israel.

SPY better get to 700 fast or it's back to the poorhouse for me.

Neat_Database6685

0dte on SPY is gambling. You know it, we all know it. If you want to continue doing it - put aside most all of your winnings of the last month into solid buy and hold/swing or real options strategies, and then allot yourself some to your fun/gambling account. You did well. You could set $20k for your fun/gambling…just be prepared to lose it. And maybe identify if you are able to deal with losses, how do you handle them? From your post, sounds like not well. Intense stress and losing sleep isn’t worth it, and some losses are inevitable

yeppbrep

My therapist told me that the way I invest is no different than going to a casino, and that I'm suffering from a gambling addiction. I now use the money I used to spend on therapy to buy SPY options

Initial_Ad_9250

SPY700 tease is real

Effective-Switch

Tbh with you, I would put 100k into $SPY and do the wheel strategy. You can generate 5-12%+ easily if you know what you're doing. Also the market is in volatility expansion so the market may or may not go higher in the next 5-10 years. With the other $20k its up to you, but just use it for your annual expenses this year if you have any. Go take a vacation or give a little bit $$$ to your family. Go enjoy life or treat others to a nice meal!

ComfortablePiglet842

Losing 90k can actually be pretty simple really. Go and throw 20k in AMD 20K in tesla and 10k in SOYA 0dte thinking you could be right 1/3 plays and that one play will win big. LOSE all 3 and 50k becomes 5k. Now you’re running on pure emotion feeling like you HAVE to get that 50k back so the next day you have strong conviction that AMD is gonna go back up so you throw 40k into AMD calls and it crashes at market open. Now your 40k is worth 7k and so you quickly toss all your money left into spy calls and it immediately tanks. 7k now becomes $440. At market close you buy 3contracts of SPY calls and the next morning SPY falls at open and you sell immediately for a $200 loss and spy rapidly gaps up so you throw $200 into 0dte calls and SPY gaps back down. Now 90k has turned to $.97 in 3 days

seekingpolaris

I'm not going to say for privacy purposes but you should sell and convert into more diversified stock like SPY when it hits long term gain status

Huge dark pool orders trading hands in after hour liquidity. That feels like preparation for something to come (let’s hope it’s not credit related because delinquencies are high)

northwil

This is an alarmist framing FYI. From an economist standpoint. Anything between 4-5.5% unemployment is considered an “ok economy” with neutral FED perception around monitory actions. Anything above 5.5% would indicate a weak economy with expansionary measures from the FED. Also for all you people saying the “Somehow SPY 1% today.”… well ya, unemployment and stocks are often contra in indicative. Stock market performance has a lot more to do with monetary policy and liquidity than anything else. Weak employment = lowering rates, lowering rates = liquidity. Look at what happened during COVID.

If you're not ready to pay the taxes on them ride those up to 200%-300% and then get out. That's when you lose convexity completely. If you want to make a hell of a lot more money...put away at least 30% in escrow for taxes, either wait for the price to normalize and releverage, or move on to another security with a big upside and ladder into a sexy position... Or you could full port into SPY puts.

AInception

The value of the dollar can grow the same time its purchasing power decreases, and vice versa. They're not really the same thing. When we saw that recent surge to 10% YoY inflation the dollar index was at its strongest because people all over the world were buying them to avoid their own currencies 20%+ inflation. Bitcoin actually preformed pretty badly around this time! That cycle (the so-called dollar milkshake theory) slowed the rate of dollar inflation because imports became much cheaper, because the dollar was strong relative to those other currencies and so it grew in relative value. But the dollar was still losing purchasing power overall. Rich people like owning assets. Asset-inflation is happening at such a pace dollar-inflation or the dollar-value pales in comparison. When rents and property costs doubled in 10 years it didn't mean the dollar lost half its value... a banana still costs the same. Rich people especially love owning 'productive assets' that earn them an income. Which BTC is not one of.. Once its security starts decreasing substantially in another decade or so it's going to be musical chairs, and none of these generational asset-accumulaters buying everything up will be seen holding that bag. Bitcoin is more of a quick gamble on how much speculation can grow by then, with all profits going into much harder assets at the end of the day. Gold and silver outpreformed BTC massively last year. The SPY500 even. Those are the kind of assets the market is after, which will continue to outstrip dollar devaluation and inflation faster than anything else. If BTC followed your thesis it would at least be correlated with gold's value, but unfortunately it hasn't at all.

Sigh dude. I try to catch a stock that's popping, and it drops the moment I buy in. I try to time puts on bad news, and the market rallies on BS. I try to do boring shit by buying MAG7 stock. STOCK. And I'm below my average cost for 3 months, and still haven't made it back to break even. I fucking hate the market dude. I see people here making 500% profit on stupid ass bounces like RDDT, or buying and holding MU a year ago, or playing regular ass SPY put/calls at the right time. Why the fuck can't I ever get a lucky break like that? Overall I'm still like 80k in the hole, but wheeling shit last year made me positive for once. But it's still a slow ass fucking climb out, and META is fucking me over day after day, week after fucking week.

how you can tell spy reflects your biggest loss by eod and not "the perfectly correct price it should be" at any point: 3.5m volume sell wall in under a miunute after hours for SPY: moved 11 cents. 240k volume on 5 minute candles during option trading hours: 15 cents to as high as 1.60 for no fucking reason. stop fisting your own asshole and calling it market manipulation. play the game the way it's played or keep meeting the same daily fate no matter what you buy/sell and when. rules of the game: make money number larger at EOD than it was at open of day. that's it. period. extra tidbit: the tail is wagging the dog. more money getting made daily/weekly selling options to retail regards than there is to be made on the underlying. it's extremely profitable, obvious, and much less stressful to slow walk the trend and cuck you daily on options than it is to have everyone with real capital knife fighting over what the correct price is on penny and nickel spreads.
