we already tried the bounce on Friday and failed. I bought MU shares on Thursday last minutes candle but I sold already at +10%. No one wants to hold the bag on a weekend so yes maybe Monday is green. Or maybe its a trap. Idk yet. Gonna see vibes, but I honestly dont like what I see here. I am usually a big dip buyer but it feels strange this time. \---- btw I need to correct myself on the previous point, I am actually wrong. For SPY it's basically 50/50. The nasdaq100 has more green than red days (> 6.5%) actually. The reason being during the dotcom bubble there were a lot of violent dead cats (22days > +6.5% and 18days < -6.5% according to claude, big if true)
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.
We've already hit the QQQ and SPY 200 daily ema I think
Two questions: SPY or Chinese spy AND socks or don't let your balls touch?
Do you remeber what price SPY was trading at when you bought these put? Must have been deep in the money to get for .06
I'm very disappointed in Jensen on this. I mean....She doesn't ever look good. He should go after Russian SPY. Most of them look better.
SPY was $629 barely 8 months ago, we are not close at all
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.
It's as if the price of SPY was correlated in some way to the price of many other stocks 🤔
Appreciate the honesty about SPX being supporting evidence rather than confirmation. The correlation with SPY, and the overlap with earlier research, are important limitations to keep in view. The random-schedule comparison is particularly interesting. Beating 97% of schedules on max drawdown, while P&L remains roughly in line with random skipping, suggests the filter may be doing more to control downside than to generate additional returns. That’s a more specific and useful claim than simply pointing to the higher Sharpe. One thing I’d be curious about: in the SPXW breakdown, the 1-week book has a higher Sharpe than the combined book (0.93 vs. 0.85), while the 1-month book is lower (0.67). Have you looked at whether that difference is statistically meaningful, or could it reflect the number of observations and the mix of trades in each book?

A lot of stocks are already at 52 week lows. Why should they keep going down just because SPY does? Makes no sense
Yes out of sample is what convinced me to release it as endpoint * **SPX weeklies, Feb 2022 to Oct 2026:** Sharpe 0.85 vs 0.63 for selling every day. Max drawdown was $622k vs $2.17M, which beat more than 97% of 1,000 random schedules skipping the same number of days. P&L was $1.84M vs $3.52M, about what random skipping made. SPX shares SPY's selloffs and earlier research had touched it, so I count this as support, not confirmation. * **SPY 2017:** Sharpe 1.55 vs 1.70, so it lost to selling every day. Max drawdown was $7.5k vs $13.2k, but a calm year doesn't test a filter like this much. Here are the SPXW results for February 2022 to October 2026, at one contract per trade: |Book|Sharpe filter|Sharpe every day|Max DD filter|Max DD every day| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |Combined|0.85|0.63|$622,056|$2,166,772| |1 week|0.93|0.73|$300,356|$772,954| |1 month|0.67|0.55|$441,737|$1,443,837|

jensen rotation into Chinese SPY ... calls on hang seng :kekw:
Monday gonna be like $SPY :shrek: :shrek: :shrek:
To me, the rally on Wednesday was fake. Most of the big gains were from companies I never heard of. Once I was confident in my theory I started buying SPY puts that would expire on Friday. All the rally continued, my puts were Losing value so I averaged down as best I could. In hindsight I wish I would have bought more. When the market crashed on Thursday, I sold them all during the first hour of trading for 300% profit. Those puts eventually grew as high as 2,500%. I missed out on the biggest gains of my life but am happy with the profit I made. In the future I plan to try to have a little more patience and confidence in my convictions.
The more it drops the closer it comes to a buying price. A 20% drop in SPY, VIX >30 is most definitely a buying zone.
I had a boring boomer portfolio for like 2 years, mostly SPY and SGOV. Very stable, very boring. Last week I went balls deep into SOXL and TQQQ, I feel young again.
Really simple terms is like waking up and saying....Hey I bet the SPY is going to go down and it's going to hit a price of $755 or so today. There's definitely more factors and terminology involved as well but I'll let you decided to pursue that portion. Specifically Thursday if you would've bought a put (bet going down) for a $755 price. The cost for that "bet" wouldve been around $25. Ay around noon Thursday that $25 bet wouldve turned to around $1800-$2000. Putting just $100 would've gotten you $8000 in about 4 hours. There was alot to be made....ALOT!!! I didnt have capital and didnt play and disnt want to fomo and buy in at the wrong time but for the SPY to drop $30 in one day is literally crazy. I tried looking for a screenshot but too many to go through lol
9:30am Bull Trap fake pump to .5% SPY, some tech stocks up 5%, then a repeat of Thursday's crash \~1 trillion+ lost the rest of the day.
Past 1 year: * MAGS: +2.8% * QQQ: +7.6% * SPY: +9.5% * XLK (Tech): +14.3% * RSP (Equal weight S&P): +15.1% * DFIV (International Value): +18.8% * BBCA (Canada): +20.1% * AVUV (US Small Cap Value): +22.4% * AVLV (US Large Cap Value): +26%
A few points? You mean like 30? OP bought APY puts and SPY fell a shit ton. Simple as that.
Everything! Were you not trading then? Probably one of the funniest wsb blunders. They thought it would dump and SPY proceeded to have the best month on 2 years
If you own SPY you already own AAPL, NVDA, etc.
why VOO and not SPY or VTI or QQQ? Those are the popular ones I’ve been hearing.
You know what? In this market, I’m not even sure. Fuck it, SPY 760 Monday 🤷♂️
Possible but you gotta factor the other sectors keeping SPY afloat right now. I'll be watching to see what NQ does, if it gets back above 27.5k (We get stuck in the channel). If we reject then yeah tech sector will drag everything down for SPY to 720 to fill the gaps
Manifesting $SPY opening >740 Monday :shrek:
I have 100% in RSP, and I've been trading SPX options on margin. I just started a month ago, and I've only gone negative by like 40 bucks once, and my account is up 10% over SPY 🤷♂️ initial investment was 25k
SPY -5% in one day is not normal, go and check how many times has happened
I'd lean toward buying ITM LEAPS during the market drop, rather than waiting for IV to fall and buying OTM. The reason is that your target is SPY recovering just 5% above its previous ATH. ITM gives you more intrinsic value, higher delta, and less dependence on IV dropping or SPY making a massive move. OTM calls are cheaper, but their value is much more sensitive to IV and time decay, and they need a strong recovery to pay off. Essentially, you're trading a better entry price and higher probability of profit with ITM calls against cheaper premiums and greater leverage with OTM calls. Personally, I'd compare the expected return at your target price for both strikes, using same expiration and a conservative IV assumption. That will tell you which one offers better value rather than simply looking at the cheaper premium.

He doesn't own 100 shares of SPY. That's your confusion. He bought a contract that gave him to *right to sell 100 shares* of SPY. That contract was initially bought for pennies on the dollar because it expired at the end of the day and SPY was far above 742. Who in their right mind would buy a contract that let's them sell a stock for 742 when market value is 760+? He spent $700 on this worthless contract. Fast forward to that same afternoon, SPY crashes all the way down to 730. Suddenly his $700 investment is worth $100,000+. His gain was not from executing the contact to sell his shares because he never owned them in the first place (that would be a $700,000 portfolio lol). His gain was by selling someone else the "contract" AKA the right to sell SPY at 742 a share. By the end of the day that contact was extremely valuable, 100x more than what he paid for it.
100 shares of SPY for 730 dollars and sell the same shares for 742 making 12x100=1200 dollars but suddenly its worth 40 000???
Thanks for sharing this - I read through it. The distinction between loss concentration and a consistent profit advantage is particularly useful, especially your caveats about execution costs and multiple testing. The one-month SPY short-put result also caught my attention: the unfiltered strategy had the highest Sharpe, and the tested GEX/VRP filters lowered it. That’s directly relevant to what I’m investigating, rather than assuming a filter should help across every structure and horizon. One clarification: was GEX used only as an **entry** filter, with exits determined by the predefined holding rules, or could a subsequent GEX regime change also trigger an exit? Источники
Lmk before you sell so I can load up on SPY puts
Isn't SPY like 5% from it's ATH?
SPY can be a reasonable long-term investment, but I’d distinguish “safe from losses” from “a way to build purchasing power over time.” The point isn’t just diversification. It’s giving your money a chance to grow faster than inflation. According to UBS, U.S. equities delivered an annualized real return of about 6.6% from 1900 through 2025. That’s the broad U.S. stock market, not SPY specifically, and it’s historical performance—not a promise about future returns. There’s also a reason many long-term investors are comfortable matching the market rather than trying to beat it. S&P Dow Jones Indices found that 79% of actively managed U.S. large-cap funds underperformed the S&P 500 in 2025. That statistic applies to professional funds, not individual retail traders, but it shows that even professional management doesn’t make outperformance automatic. Warren Buffett made a famous ten-year bet on this idea. From 2008 through 2017, the S&P 500 index fund he selected gained 125.8% in total, while the five funds-of-funds selected by Protégé Partners each finished behind it. It’s one historical example, not proof that index funds always win, but it illustrates the challenge of picking managers who can beat the market after costs. None of this makes SPY a savings account. It can fall substantially, so keep your emergency fund and money you’ll need in the near future separate. Investing a fixed amount every month can help you stick to a process, but it doesn’t prevent losses or guarantee a profit. For the practical setup, compare SPY with lower-cost S&P 500 ETFs such as VOO or IVV. Check fund expenses, brokerage fees, recurring-purchase options, and the tax treatment of the account. The iPhone isn’t the issue—the brokerage and account behind the app matter much more. You don’t have to outperform the market to build wealth. You need a sustainable contribution habit, manageable costs, and a plan you can stick with when the market stops being fun.
200k today is enough to retire on in 30-40 years if you buy SPY or VOO shares and never touch it btw
I bought SPY puts on Tuesday, expecting the price to drop. Since I was only risking a small amount and treating it more like a gamble, I went way out of the money and bought 10 SPY $744 puts while SPY was trading around $763. Each contract cost me $0.04, so I spent just $40 total. I ended up selling all 10 contracts for $300, which I was pretty happy with at the time. But those same contracts eventually became worth almost $13,000. It's crazy to think that $40 could've turned into nearly $13K. But realistically would I have actually held through $1K, $5K, or even $10K without selling? Probably not. It's easy to look back and think about what could've been but holding through those kinds of gains is a completely different story.
Can someone explain what SPY is and why it popped off?
You have to take the down with the ups, I assume you were heavy in the AI trade hoping for quick money like so many others. What I’d suggest is the bulk of your money should be in the SPY and then have a smaller separate account for active trading you don’t mind losing. The SPY is up 7% this year, a decent year in terms of returns, that allows you sleep at night if the bulk of your money is in there.
SPY calls a month or two out will print so fucking hard right now
Anyone who has followed markets at all knows that Jensen has been fucking with SPY for years. He’s taken good care of SPY, made love to SPY, sometimes broken SPY’s heart.
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%?
Underperforming SPY: 😐 Underperforming a HYSA: 🫤 Getting outperformed by a guy who keeps posting about how his ass smells:
maybe selling naked calls to buy puts i.e. synthetic shorting SPY?
#In the last 6 months SPY is up a whole 0.3% LMAO🤌⛹🏾
Remember when this Chinese SPY boned a Federal Reserve researcher, had a child with him, all so she could send secrets to China? https://i.imgur.com/R0ORXC8.png https://i.imgur.com/YK48lj6.png
I put a few K into 12/18 SPY $703 puts in mid Oct and those did pretty well yesterday but easily coulda been worthless. I’m fine small risk here/there but you guys losing 50% of your portfolio in a single day are wild.
This is fine I guess. But, what the market needs is loans to be cheaper. There is a lot of debt out there and not enough "real" cash (lol). If only someone hadn't done stuff to juice inflation and "weaken the dollar", fed could cut rates and the upcoming AI debt-pocalypse could be avoided. (If SPY is green on Monday, ignore the above, I always knew it would work out.)
It was a weekend risk sell off, we've all seen how the US Admin typically waits for weekend to escalate with Iran. Money that jumped in Thursday, taking a quick easy gain, before the weekend was how I read it. If you're bullish what your most likely to see tomorrow it a dead cat bounce to a higher high, that probably fades, but than rallies into end of day. 740$ on SPY and 660$ on QQQ, flipping to support would be bullish to me (wouldn't love RSP losing 215$ as well)
Sure... That's exactly why people are coming after you. This is a betting channel of options and high risk stocks. And you show SPY and SCHD. Laughable.
What are you even talking about dude, the SPY is up today and only down 5% the last month. Were you full ported in Sandisk calls or some shit, positions?

No and if so not until SPY is at 1100, I think those prices were elevated "deliberately" by MM to fuck over retail, sell calls to retail, and offload their shares at a high price
Is there a single stock out there that has retained value over the last few months? Almost everything seems like a constant pump n dump, even broad funds like the SPY. Only stocks I actually feel comfortable holding long term are some midstream oil ones who pretty much can guarantee high dividend payouts with how solid their financials are. Everything else I just flip or I end up regretting it.
Does anybody know if I can do a chargeback on all of my 0SPY calls today? I don’t like how they turned out (lost 100%) and want my money back.
The 1W RSI on SPY printed some huge bear divergences from 26 May 2026 to 10 Aug 2026 to 5 Oct 2026 that preceded the fall from $781 to $732. This indicated a positive risk/reward for short positions.
SPY could go down to 700
bond yields are doing that weird thing again which makes me nervous af. part of me hopes for volatility so I can gamble on SPY puts, other part wants to sleep without dreaming about margin calls. financial ruin as entertainment is peak brainrot but here we are. if the market gaps down Monday I'm buying a vape pen and crying in a parking lot. W or L doesn't matter anymore just chaos.
Things are going to get spicy if SPY fall through 725
QQQ? Of course tech is in shambles. I’m talking about the real market SPY. 😋
SPY drawdown: 6%. QQQ drawdown: 14%. LMAO
https://x.com/ShaneStoffer/status/2113333564330655890 Notice to how prior to closing the position the BID was at 9.05? And after closing out at 9.50 the new bid was then 9.50? He unknowingly was pushing up the options chains using size and mid-fill orders. His account was then marked for non-favorable fills after. Its why when he tried doing BULK on SPY They blew him out Before: https://x.com/ShaneStoffer/status/2114734281285423364 After: https://x.com/ShaneStoffer/status/2114749439000604994 What I am saying is, A few people where able to make huge gains doing this, it didn't really matter what the market was doing. Many people think that he just got randomly lucky or he's a MM asset but all he was doing was abusing the mid-fill price improvement.
