Rip. Stocks only go up bro. Tariffs and inflation is good news for the stock market now. Higher unemployment rate = stocks new all time high. J Pow not cutting rates September probably going to hit 700 SPY by then. We probably will get 800 SPY at this rate
It is partly about the dollar, but also earnings growth was solid. Forecasts are solid. People understand the TACO trade now. AI and tech remain strong and “exceptional”. And jobs remain solid, in spite of OP’s anecdotes and the inevitable/eventual job losses coming from AI. There’s just no reason not to go up. This coming from a guy who had been selling SPY calls and has finally capitulated.
Stop playing SPY. Fuck around with SPX

I’m yoloing SPY 0DTE calls with my 3/8 SMA + bullish engulfing sauce, aiming for 20% gains while blasting Trevor Bauer’s screwball tutorials. If I miss, I’ll just hit a dinger in my rec league game to cover the losses. 🚀⚾
Usually It's IV, you can check IV over time on sites like this one [https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/SPY/?lu=true](https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/SPY/?lu=true) As IV declines both puts and calls decline in price relative to the underlying.
SPY -$2.20.. you couldn’t imagine such a dump!!! The end is near!! AHHHHH!
Just buy the $SPY and chill. I've been trading anything and everything possible and $SPY has been kicking my ass for 15 years. I've done stocks, options, futures, commodities and forex. $SPY will do better than 90% of people and you won't have to be anxious and worried every trading day.
!banbet SPY under $610 by 6/18/2025
This is a dividend growth portfolio comprised of blue chip stocks with a long track record of paying and raising dividends. The fact that you think it should be unloaded, and you compare it to VTI/SPY tripling, shows that you don't really understand why it may be more appropriate for your retired parents. They can only safely utilize a volatile market index for their equity allocation if they also have a solid bond strategy. Their FA has apparently taken them down an equity income path, which is a totally established way to invest, especially for retirees. The cash issue is a bit concerning, sure, and worth questioning. But tread carefully here.
My name is Michael Westen I used to purchase SPY 🕶️
Outside SPY and NVDA it’s my most profitable purchase this year. I just randomly threw some money in it this Jan and May.
Risk management and psychology did it for me. Started with $5k three years ago. Kept it small for two years and I was just hovering between losing a little and barely breaking even. I felt more confident after I had several green months in a row at the end of last year. This year I scaled up. Account is up to $60k now and withdrew $5k to help fund a trip. Original capital is out but I am still very strict on risk management. For psychology, Mark Douglas’ books and videos really removed my blinders. Make sure you really absorb the contents of his materials. I still re-watch, re-listen to his audiobooks and re-read his books from cover to cover to this day. For strategies, I like theta positive trades such as calendars, condors, diagonals, bear and bull call spreads (not in order of preference). I rarely do straight calls and puts maybe because I started with a small account and spreads helped keep the trades costs to a minimum. For directional trades, I like to use broken wings butterflies (ranging from 10 points wings up to 50 point wings) and LEAPS and selling shorter dated calls against it. For time frames, I like to hold for weeks to months. on my directional trades. For delta neutral trades, 1-2 weeks with strict risk management. I trade IBIT, MSTR, SPY, GLD, QQQ but the main two things that made me the most profit are IBIT and MSTR. The others are also profits but not as much as the two. I sometimes do earnings but risk very little compared to profit potential. An example was NKE earnings trade that consisted of directional (bullish) broken wing butterflies and calendar spread that made 10X. Keep at it. You will have a lot of doubters. Sometimes I felt like I was the only one who believed in myself. My biggest advice is to concentrate on what you can lose, not what you can make. This is what will keep you in the game to figure things out. Also focus on the process of good trading and not the outcome. This is easier said than done because we are wired to avoid losses. Taking small losses of it goes against your trading plan is the key. This will also help protect your mental capital.
could have made ab 1.3k this week (also doing 0dte SPY) but I did nor trade like a coward and went -280. i am going to be trading like a coward starting monday.
0dte SPY calls Monday, here you come!
Thank you for the advice man. This is definitely a short term thing. I do already also have a JPMORGAN investors account that I do put 50% of my check into SPY, QQQ and some more tried true tech stocks like nvidia, intel, etc etc
Meanwhile I YOLO’d into SPY puts and lost half my rent money. Good job king.
I'm a new trader and my perspective has been skewed by all the volatility. I think it's just very easy to see NVDA going up another 8% in the next 6 months. I won't make that trade because I'm not certain about much right now except that there's low volume and SPY has been going up since April 9th. I would've liked this trade a lot more 6 to 8 weeks ago when I finally realized SPY wasn't going to 480 again any time soon and that the tariffs were not going to cause the issues to NVDA that everyone was worried about. Now that SPY is at ATH it's harder to be certain about anything going forward but if any stock is going to keep going up I would think it would be NVDA. I've already seen stocks like TSLA skyrocket for years so if a solid company like NVDA kept irrationally going up then I wouldn't be surprised.
In tracking graphs of SPY . I also really like doing butterfly spreads, I suggest reading into them if you don’t already know. Great way to mitigate losses and get a lot of contracts . But make sure the sales can still get filled. I like to break my sales up into a lot of smaller sales so when the spikes occur . It can fill some instead of trying to fill 1 big order. Like if I have 10 contracts that I bought at .10 and the spikes are happening at like .80 . I will have like 2 for sale at .80 , 2 for .75 , 2 for .70 then maybe some duplicates like another 2 for .75 and another 2 for .70 , if my profits are good then I sometimes may like to keep a contract or 2 till expiration and hope it expires at my goal or sell like right before expiration
? I didn't imply anything about the strike relative to spot, so I'm not understanding the argument here. If I had 100 shares SPY and sold them at a strike of $1 or $0.01 or even $0, I would agree I'm "giving away shares for free".... Only when you ignore the $60k cash I received upfront...
🥭 hosting Jensen RTX at WH means NVDA rockets next week. Since SPY = NVDA, the. SPY 630.
Imagine bleeding for a week and not dying SPY 650
SPY drop tiny bit, retail yell 'discount' like it is Black Friday for feelings. Very brave, very broke
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the economy is fucked. Clearly, SPY to 630 by eod Monday.
Adani got banned by US. Jane Street got banned by India. Now both countries have leverage in trade talks. Now if they can announce a trade deal and pump SPY, it would be nice. PS: Jane Street wasn’t the only firm doing it. SEBI had knowledge about these activities for a long time.
I can see it now…. SPY 632 Monday Pre market
I hope I made the right decision in holding calls over the weekend for both SPY (630 7/18 exp) and HOOD (110 8/15 exp)
SPY is completely done with below $600 levels. Basically $600 is the new floor for the next decade.
You’re probably the same dude that passed up on SPY sub 500 LMAO 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
If SPY was a girl she'd have the Guinness record for most beta-orbiters.
I find 0DTE SPY credit spreads very profitable. I’ll open a position in the first 15 mins when volatility is the highest to collect the most premium. Then take a quick profit a couple hours later.
I buy SPY LEAPS and sell SPX vertical put credit spreads. When the market went south in February I sat out because I didn’t know what to do.
You are obviously profitable right now, but how would that look like if the worst possible outcome of your trades materialized? If the answer is that it would wipe you out / you would lose 90% of your account, then you are just in the fucking around phase and at some point you'll likely transition to the find out phase. The worst possible outcome will happen at some point if you give it enough tries. With utmost respect, since your return is so high and you are asking question about return rather than risk adjusted return (which is a somewhat basic concept) I would venture that luck has been a big component of your success. Professionals would deem a 20% annual rate of return fantastic (if it had similar drawdowns to SPY), you are casually doubling it, so it's very likely that you are taking big risks.
That’s a good SPY. Keep going down just like that for daddy
XSP is equivalent to SPY but with less taxes and no assignment. I never trade SPY options. If you're doing spreads the narrowest width on SPX is $500. On XSP it's $100. You can do a ITM credit spread with about $350 with SPX (receiving $150 credit). That's usually 2 strikes ITM. Ride that to 20-30% profit and get out. With XSP you can do a 2 point spread making $40 with $160 collateral. It does start to eat you up in commissions, so getting to SPX is nice.
What am I supposed to conclude from this chart given that SP500 would have 18x your return over the past 30 years? Over the past 5 years you would have doubled your money, and over 10 years 2.5x your money. For every small pocket of time you tell me PE high led to broader market decline, I can find you the opposite. In fact, the peak PE ratio point was during 2008-09 which was the very best period in my lifetime to buy stocks. I have 3x return buying boring old mature KO during that time. I'm not disputing PE ratio is an important metric. But it certainly isn't the tell all metric. It has its flaws and limitations - mainly it being backwards looking. We are all here to grow our wealth. SPY/VOO chart shows me which direction I'm heading. This PE ratio chart does not.
I love 0dte SPX credit spreads. I make my play between 30-45 minutes after the market opens. Best to close them within 2-3 hours or else you're glued to the ticker all day. Decide on your max loss and your profit goal and get out when you reach either. Hold to expiration if you feel lucky. No risk of assignment! XSP is 1/10 SPX and is similar to SPY (but better tax implications if you are a winner).
IWM - more predictable and less volatile than SPY. Has daily options. Very nice liquidity like SPY with lower premiums.
It's pointless arguing with me. The grass is blue and the sky is green for me if it irritates lmfao. SPY 630c
Wow. It's actually insane how easy it is to make money once you start buying SPY calls
Well, I feel like a shit dipped in piss. All week I've been playing it smart. I'm and out, same day, take $30 profit, smart move. Impulsively bought a 7/14 $618c SPY contract for $690. In the past holding options overnight has fucked me, that's why I stopped. Well now I'm holding this bitch all weekend? Fuck me. How screwed am I? Honest takes please.
SPY is hurting my feelings… and my $675 calls😢
Sounds like I should YOLO all for some SPY calls. The market is going to jump up massively for a while before getting back down.
Took 10% profit for my Monday SPY puts at the last minute. Hopefully I won’t regret it…
I’m holding PayPal and SPY calls over the weekend cause fuck it
Will SPY hit 630 this month 👀
Holding SPY calls over the weekend like a true regard.
SPY red all day and bol thinks ber are fuck?!?
SPY calls at open on monday will print, easy fking game I ever play
All my stocks are green and SPY is red?! I'm a winner!
SPY -0.35% DOLLAR +0.30% It’s almost as if SPY is traded in dollars
Can someone tell me why this sub cares about SPY when it’s basically just the mag 7 with a bunch of extra trash in it?
SPY really not liking the talks about the flood huh
SPY cannot break 625s levels. Drill team do overtime in the upcoming few weeks
Circuit breaker final 5 minutes I believe in you SPY
SPY couldnt help touch 624.50 one more tim
Come on SPY, close at high of day.
SPY/QQQ doesn’t accurately reflect the absolute bloodbath going on in my portfolio rn 💀
Expecting a big dump in SPY that'll get bought back up by monday
Lol, rotors from China, pads from India. 20% off at the auto parts store. Tariffs aren't real. SPY $700
SPY pegged right below 625 and teasing all the retards holding 625c fds
Never swing puts overnight, especially on SPY. And 500 contracts on 1dte? Really? You're not trading, you're blindly hoping for a lotto to pay off. You could've done so much with that 10k you just lost.
T-minus 2 until "Your Option order has been executed." Can't wait for SPY 700.
You mean to tell me Fake JPow resigning intentional misinformation got my call stop losses triggered? Now I’m gonna miss SPY 625 I’ve been waiting for all day, I’m filing a complaint with the CEO of Spy
SPY already did, but I’ll do it too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you for the lunch money during that little dump SPY. If you can’t make money shorting in a bull market you are a bad trader.
SPY can’t drop .75 cents without it being bought. 😂
imagine having 57k to lose that easily. just dump it in stocks or company options. QQQ/SPY way too volatile
Can SPY surge .3% here to end flat?
SPY about to close at 626
MM trying to keep SPY down but red candles are still being bought up.
SPY $1 moves in both directions in a few minutes ?????
Still got an hour to dump chill SPY
Fuck you SPY you filthy pile of shit
Fuck off SPY you stupid bitch.
SPY just needs one last bull trap to $626 before the dump can begin. And I’m waiting on the trap
Oh no I spanked SPY Would that every day could be this easy
I’m fully expecting EU deal announce over weekend and SPY to open up 630+ Monday
Yeah, looks like a gamma pin to me. If volume spikes and SPY pops above 625, dealer hedging might flip fast, and we move up. Staying pinned is more likely IMO. After expiry we may get a move either direction. Upside more likely IMO. Not financial advice. I’m retarded.
VOO/SPY and chill. If I had only bought that when I turned 18, I'd be so far better off.
SPY finna close at 🔮 625.21🔮
SPY 669.69 is gonna be YUGE this year.
We are also $100 higher on SPY and the tariffs are getting bigger. Answer? It never mattered, and it never will. The sell-off at the time was triggered by algorithmic volume rather than the market caring at all about tariffs.
Do I hold a SPY 7/14 $624c over the weekend?
