SPY

I-IV-I64-V-I

Foreign investors convert their currency to USD to buy into our stock market. The dollar has crashed this year- Here's a currency calculator, you can try it w various currency but the dollar has had a terrible year [https://thecurrencycalculator.com/charts/USD/EUR/1y](https://thecurrencycalculator.com/charts/USD/EUR/1y) Take the Brits, if a brit bought 1000$ of spy using euros at the start of the year, the conversion was .9667 -> ended 2025 at .8494 Meaning they'd loose \~-11.70% of their money because the USD is weaker now. The spy went up just enough to make them almost break even, but they technically are loosing money due to their inflation. For Americans this means that everything from overseas isn't just more expensive from tariffs, its also more expensive because of currency exchange. If you invested 1000 At a 18% return you'd have 1180$ from SPY The current average tariff rate in the U.S. is approximately 17.0% - CPI data says 2025 \~3% inflation. *~~(I do not believe the CPI data, but that is another story)~~*, You may buy "made in the usa" things, but a lot of American manufacturers get most of their components imported.

Corn stop going down. Having PTSD from last time Spy hit ATH, but you went down and bought SPY down with you

SPY is not a "local conversion USD only" market from the moment the foreign investments into it are X with the local ones. SPY is trailing behind even inflation at the moment.

I pulled a fast one on Robinhood, I "withdrew" 4 grand from my account and then moved it over before it cleared, bought a ton of calls on SPY, lost 2000 of it, and spent the other 2000 on dogecoin at .35¢, now my Robinhood is negative 3 grand and they can't liquidate my crypto so I'm bag holding dogecoin at a 35 cent average waiting for it to probably never go to dollar so I can pocket my 5 to 6 thousand in profit lol. I learned about trading and investing probably 3 months before I did this and this was about a year ago. I don't trade anymore I'm not good at it, I really was just gambling, as soon as 8:30 hit I'd load up on calls or puts and hope for the best, 1 out of 3 times id make some money but it just went right back into losing it. I learned that on days before a major holiday, THE MARKET CLOSES EARLY. So I'm up like 9 thousand on SPY the day before Thanksgiving the year before last, and you know how 10 mins before the market closes it kinda shits on your position usually, well that happened and my 9k up went to making like 200 bucks. It was all a bunch of hard learned lessons for me lol.

Robinhood scalps us. I’m training on think or swim now while still using RH. It’s a difficult platform to navigate, but at least it has stop losses you can place on spx options. Bracket orders. They fill and sell at your price. I need more practice but may have to move my port from RH to TOS. Legends isn’t good enough for spx scalping. Not enough protection. If think or swim dosent work I’ll pay for trading view. Maybe tastytrade. There’s gotta be something faster, cleaner for SPX or SPY.

The last few times SPY hit ATH, i loaded calls thinking it’s going to continue grinding up, only to get rugged the following day. This time I inversed myself and loaded puts. Long story short, SPY probably hits 700 this week.

Superman811

hey sorry for the noob regard question but would you mind explaining the diff between spx and spy and the tax benefit? and if i wanted to trade like 100 or 200 bucks here and there on 0dte should I do SPY?

Title: The "Infinite Labor" Glitch: How the $10B Assistance Freeze is Bullish for Corporate Margins (and why we’re all cooked) Listen up, you absolute regards. I was messing around with some AI prompts today and stumbled into the ultimate macro bear case. We’ve been focused on interest rates, but the real play is the Modern Day Slavery pivot. The administration just froze $10B in assistance to blue states. Think about that from a "supply and demand" perspective. If you strip the safety net from the poors—and yes, that includes the trailer park and the suburbs, this isn't just a city thing—what happens? 1. Labor Vulnerability goes to the moon: When you can’t pay for childcare or SNAP, you don't "look for a better job." You take any job. You become a sub-prime human asset. 2. The 13th Amendment Loophole: They’re doubling down on "Law and Order." More arrests = more incarcerated labor. Incarcerated labor = $0.12/hour wages. It’s literally a legal slavery glitch that’s been in the US Constitution since the 1800s, and they’re finally scaling it for maximum ROI. 3. The "Poor White" Rug Pull: If you think you’re safe because of your skin color, you’re trading on bad data. The AI is showing that the economic mechanics of debt bondage and "work or starve" don't care about your identity—only your bank account balance (which, for most of us here, is currently $0.00). The Trade: Short the working class, long private prisons (GEO/CXW), and long any mega-cap that needs desperate, un-unionized labor to keep their EPS from cratering. The government isn't trying to fix the economy; they're trying to lower the cost of the "human resource" input to zero. We are the overhead they’re trying to cut. TL;DR: Assistance is being rugged to force a desperate workforce into modern-day serfdom. It’s bullish for the 1%, bearish for literally everyone else. Positions: $SPY 200P Dec '26. See you behind the Wendy’s dumpster.

SPY 700 Friday

meNriveBabylon

If you think that all those people who bet against the market last year just because of a dumb president are idiots, think of all those who protested Israel last year, only for its economy to basically double with its SPY-Like main index casually gaining over 100%.

redspinningwheel

SPY 700 soon

Napster-mp3

Just 30% more SPY, come on bro

FuckleUp

DM me tomorrow if you want I’ll point out any good plays… sometimes I don’t play at all. SPY and IWM both had that indicator today before they ran.

It's the year 2090 : SPY 690

GamerHaste

Hi everyone. I have a Amazon stock vest coming up which will be around $40k before taxes in MA. I'm 25 and single with no dependents and pay rent. I have a car with a 6.1% interest loan on it that has $20k left on it. I'm wondering if I should immediately take the proceeds from the stock vest and pay off the car? Is 6.1% APY high enough where it's worth it? I pay around $550 per month on it. I have a 6 month oh shit fund already and around $50k in the market in SPY, URA, and gold. I'm really debating on these three options: 1. Sell all shares, pay off car loan, put the rest in SPY/URA/Gold. 2. Sell all shares, put all into SPY/URA/Gold 3. Hold Amazon stock and hope it keeps going up (been doing good lately...) Does anyone have any input? Looking for opinions I was leaning towards paying my car loan off and investing the rest and then setting up a $550 per month auto buy on SPY but I don't know if it's more worth to just put it all into the market. I'm not stressed about the loan so "peace of mind" doesn't really play a part (I have more in student loans already so it's not getting rid of debt for me)

SPY 700 EOW or my kids go on rations

I got jan 8 691p SPY, am I fucked?

Glum-Wealth-6171

Bro SPY has pumped over 1% this week on absolutely nothing. There doesn't need to be a reason.

ThatGuyCalledEric

I don't want to sound racist and misogynistic but can SPY go to 700 please

ThatGuyCalledEric

Same when people pronounce it as "SP-EYE". It's "SPEE' like cri**SPY**. Get it right people smh

IllBuyYourCar

I hate when people say “Es Pee Why” like bruh it’s SPY

Glum-Wealth-6171

Can someone give a single reason why SPY has pumped nearly 1% this week with zero pullback? (Don't say oil cause that shit is thicker than yo mama.)

JurassicSharkNado

Niiiiice. I hadn't touched the HSA again until recently, just boring SPY long hold since the GME bet. Until I jumped into space stocks in October. HSA went 70k->96k since then. I'll take it

ThatFUTGuy

taking a shanty town in the amazon rainforest is one thing but if america takes a nato countries land im gonna say its gonna be SPY 600 real quick

Fish-n-Shoot

If you're risking $3-5k per trade, why aren't you trading SPX instead of SPY for the tax benefits?

EvolvingDior

You sold 3 SPY shares?

Flat-Focus7966

SPY likely going to 694 before the market opens And to 698 after it does

le_pedal

Imagine getting your first big boy job and you open a 401k to start contributions and SPY is 690

ThatFUTGuy

gemini AI just told me that you should allocate 30% of your portfolio to “adventurous plays” such as SPY 0DTE

pinggeek

It has been bouncing off an order block sense November. You would have been better off going with SPY untill it breaks through the qqq block.

Icommandyou

If tariffs are struck down, we could see some pullback from metals rotating into SPY

VXUS will beat SPY this year again

Boys get ready for the next red day, this sub will be like : FREAK THE FUCK OUT AND PANIC SELL EVERYTHING IT'S FUCKING OVER TOP IS IN BULL R FUK RECESSION STARTING MARKET CRASH SPY TO 500 YADA YADA YADA...

enc-nyc

My worst day last year was when SPY opened up +2.5% and started to sell off around 10:15 and sold off till -2.5%. That was the day after NVDA earnings I think. Lost 4K that day since I absolutely refused to believe something like that is possible.

havntmadeityet

I only have $400 of play money left. SPY wiped me out today. What’s the move tomorrow

Fhyzikz

I'm ready for SPY -2% tomorrow to sell my puts and then immediately buy calls

FarWay9137

Dang hmm SPY starting to feel like it'll hit $700 before dropping below $690 again (if it ever does), starting to worry for my puts lol

kayvonte

anyway, who's ready for a massive -.82% drop on SPY tomorrow at open?

kayvonte

SPY is up 3 days in a row.

drummer820

Trump sucks, this is still not a smart play IMO. Im bearish and have QQQ leap puts into 2027, but I wouldn’t bet on significant downward movement in SPY in <30 days

LSTNYER

Millions on SPY?

Kingmusk420

MU will single handily pump SPY. Ya ain’t beating Uncle Sam

spellbadgrammargood

I remember months ago when Gold and SPY was ATH, people were freaking out now it's like 'who cares?'

ThatGuyCalledEric

Hey SPY, English or Spanish?

PalpitationSmooth992

dumbest play ever buying puts before SPY hits 700 do you not understand why its melting up everyone has new money in their retirement accounts

ThatGuyCalledEric

SPY going to spend another hour not moving

DrElkSnout

It's a mix. LEAPs are wonderful. The Wheel is okay, but careful in a bull market... The real ticket is 'go massive' on shares. YES. If you want to own 100 different companies then you're better off just VOO'ing and chilling. Or buy SPY and shut the fuck up. If you are selecting shares, you need to be of the belief that you have identified an underpriced company or that you see a rotation into a certain sector coming on hot. Otherwise why the fuck would you even waste the time and risk losing when statistically most of you aren't going to beat the market? I'm over $500K and win because I have a vision that keeps panning out. Also, stops exist. Don't be a retard. Good luck.

Sure. Ignore the fact that he cratered the market. SPY was up 16% for the year. DXY was down 12%. You made 4% in real terms his first year in office.

moorhound

I guess the big question at this point is, how much shit are Americans willing to tolerate as long as markets keep going up? At this point some of you guys seem like you'd be fine with legalizing slavery again if it it meant a +1.5% SPY day

Lmao true, SPY would probably gap up if aliens invaded at this point The fed could announce negative rates and someone would still find a way to make it bullish for tech stocks

fire_alarmist

So uhhh the leader of the free world is a prolific, generational pedophile and is sundowning nightly on TV in front of the world, while also blatantly throwing out plans to take over pretty much the entire western hemisphere. Why exactly is SPY not at like $500 right now lol?

roke34442

SPY 0DTe options if there is opportunity available again. I made a small profit today but I could have done much better if I hadn’t got cold feet on the 691’s.

TheOriginalBushToad

SPY will continue to rise until Thursday. Friday's unemployment rate will rise again (4.7% or higher) and the markets will be blood red. Puts @ Thursday's close is the play...

unhappyreach_

I'm just so used to rejection that when I see SPY near ATH, I just assume he will also be rejected like me

bearhunter429

#In the last 9 years we had 7 years where SPY/QQQ rose about 20%. This will be the 8th such year in 10. LMAO🤌

everything that was red today will be green tomorrow and everything that was green today will be red tomorrow. Except SPY, SPY will keep going up.

If SPY today is what it's like to touch grass, then tomorrow feels like we are about to play the floor is lava. That said, I'm a bull so let us play in the green fields of money and toss the bears in the lava.
