If SPY is only down less than .5% why is my port down SO much?... :(

pineapplekiwipen

According to Gemini pro SPY closed +0.02% on the day Jpow was announced

Depends on the timeframe. Weeklies and 0dtes can swing 50% in minutes. It also depends on the volatility of the underlying asset. If I'm trading MU options, I allow significantly more wiggle room than I would for a ticker like SPY. However, usually it's better to trade the structure such that you manually sell if the structure breaks rather than if the option price swings down but the thesis isn't broken.

FuckleUp

So I’m minding my own fucking business behind a Wendy’s dumpster and this old spray on tanned fat fuck sticks his rotten carrot sized thumb 👍 up my ass. All I heard him say was Barron this one’s for you. Anyway now have enough for a 0DTE SPY call Monday 💰

Bennyboi1232

Cut losses and put all in on 1 day SPY calls.

FloppyButtholeJelly

Took 21k Profit could have been 130k but oh well. Profit is profit. I’m hoping funds rotate back into SPY yolod 13k on SPY calls for next weeks 

strongest_nerd

$SPY closed higher than it opened. How's that a crash?

Icy-Motor-8519

Is it too much to ask for a 2-3% green or red day on SPY on Monday? Either or I’m good with 🫠

WSB-mods-are-

SPY calls again?

CableIllustrious1609

RIP your account bro, SPY only goes up until it doesn't and by then your puts are already expired worthless

naturelovaaa

SPY $710 next week possible?

Inevitable_Pin7755

Big picture, it’s not crazy, but there’s a lot of overlap and a couple of odd weightings. VTI and SPY overlap heavily. You’re basically doubling down on US large caps without really meaning to. If you want total US, VTI already does that. SPY on top doesn’t add much except concentration. NLR at 18% is pretty aggressive. Nothing wrong with having a thematic bet, but almost a fifth of the portfolio in one niche sector is a lot, especially for money you might need for a house or wedding. That’s the piece that makes this feel riskier than it looks on paper. BND makes sense if your timeline is shorter, but if those big purchases are still several years out, you might be dampening growth more than you need to at 27. Same with IAU, it’s fine as a hedge, just don’t expect it to move the needle much at 4%. If it were me, I’d simplify. Pick VTI or SPY, not both. Keep VXUS for diversification. Decide whether NLR is a conviction play or just an idea, and size it accordingly. The cleaner the portfolio, the easier it is to stick with when markets get rough. Overall it’s not reckless, just a bit cluttered and slightly concentrated in places that don’t line up perfectly with your stated goals.

SPY gonna open Monday at about 710, marking the first time it ever opens above 700, where it hasn’t even closed yet

Bluefire-scarab

I know. We should do something about it. Something to protest. We should buy SPY calls expiring in late March to demonstrate our anti war positions! 

Stonks303

1. The dollar went up 2. The stock market did not crash. The move on SPY & QQQ were within 1 standard deviation of a daily change. 3. Proceeds from trades can sit in cash, reduce margin, or flow into treasuries and may have moved out of tech into other industries.

NegativeHunt2344

The whole market is destroying high beta stocks, I had APLD at 8, sold at 14, bought back 20-24, sold 36, it even crashed 11% today Just tech is getting wrecked, while SPY is -.2% I try to sell calls every week too, I got into this 2 week ago thinking I’m smart to use 8k margin, sell for 3% gain, but didn’t get assigned

Genesis-Local4781

Puts on SPY for the unforeseeable future; it’ll all go to you.

NegativeHunt2344

I mean SPY is up on the year… rn I’m down 10%

NegativeHunt2344

But SPY

sn0ringFoxy

Fair point. I just listed SPY as a general representation of the stock market. I was trying to note how precious metals were ‘*supposed*’ to be a safe hedge against fiat and the broader market but that kind of flew out the window today >!*several stories high*!<. Right or not many people rag on investing in Crypto as a hedge against the dollar/stock market for understandable reasons: perceived risk, manipulation, small market cap (~$3T) compared to other asset classes, etc. So drastic price movements even in Bitcoin are shrugged off but the same *shouldnt* apply to Gold and Silver. While silver has been pumped like a memestock recently, the amount of money involved in today’s movement across both Silver and Gold doesnt justify the drastic movement even if all retail coordinated and sold at once. Precious metals and the stock market are supposed to be separate per the old thesis, but they are not meant to be extreme inverses of each other when one is ending flat for the week and the other just lost trillions in value within a single trading day.

gotcreme

Do you even beat SPY?

lipmanz

Welp January was up for SPY but not for me

fire_alarmist

How did the algos manage to turn a once in a century precious metals movement day into a chopfest nothingburger on SPY?

No-Improvement3164

HOOD back to September levels when it was added to SPY

Fit_Call_7712

Yeah buying the dip works until it doesn't and then you're left holding bags while the stock keeps drilling, just DCA into SPY or VTI if you want actual gains instead of playing with fire

Cockballzz

Transfer that metal money into SPY Can we finally reach 700?

Templar_Swamp_Stake

It’s very hard to make any money trading options. If you want to screw around it’s safer to day trade individual stocks or ETFs. If you want to be really safe just put it in SPY and look at it every 6 months.

WSB-mods-are-

Lol imagine buying SPY calls without base knowledge of quantum mechanics

No-Improvement3164

My watchlist appears to be in a bear market yet SPY barely sold off.

gavbot_1213

SPY is flat forever!

Ok-Educator5253

Why have an IRA managed by an advisor “friend of the family”? Pick SPY VT VTI VOO VUG SCHG or QQQM and call it a day. You aren’t paying him I hope.

VincenteThomp

My SPY stays die, my QQQ is poo poo poo, and my Gold smells of mold.

Emotional_Tie_7927

SLV is a dry run for what's coming to SPY

PracticalAnywhere225

Who got kicked out of the Mag 7? 😂 But yeah, I think stocks are about to make their next move and I don't think it's going to dump. SPY 7000, Nasdaq near the record high on Wednesday. I am bullish. Just wanted to hear people's take.

cripky

Lost the last remnants of my trading account today on SPY puts and pm calls. Withdrew 99.99% of it last month though LMAO 🤌

Ok-Beach1673

This portfolio ain’t it. Why try to pick sectors when you can own them all through SPY? Feel like this is needless friction in a portfolio and the ER on these funds is most likely >0.5%

2016KiaRio

I'm up today despite massive losses on LUNR because I timed my SPY buys. And my comment was for yesterday intraday. It closed an entire $10 higher than it bottomed out at. Had that not recovered yesterday, today would not have been like this. You were supposed to cash out big time on the massive recovery yesterday.

WSB-mods-are-

There's a safe behind the portrait of Warren Buffett in the executive office at Berkshire Hathaway. In that safe is a bottle. In that bottle is a note left before he retired that he said would be the ultimate moneymaking secret to the next year. It reads, "Sell SPY $700 calls"

wenxuan2

Only me wishing that SPY is able to drop like SLV one day? If not for circuit breakers

WSB-mods-are-

I could've had 470 Little Caesar's pretzel crust pepperoni pizzas today. Instead I blew that on SPY calls.

The_AFC_West

We have also had enough market downturns that people don't get panicky anymore. Especially regular investors, they take a strong buy the dip approach that has kept our stock prices high. Intrinsic value is high but not delusional, the MAG6 still has large enough cash flows to cover their high cap ex spending. The balance sheet is not looking bad for most companies. The issue is that a prolonged period of just stagnating equity prices when account for the value of the dollar does carry significant risk to reignite bear market fears. The SPY is what everybody not just Americans but the world buys. If that doesn't gain value over the course of multiple years I think many retail investors might start to look elsewhere. Combined with the death of boomers and the selling of their assets, I think we may be in for "Soft landing" but one that looks like Canada the past 10 years, with little to no overall economic growth.

1burritoPOprn-hunger

Why would SPY care about the price of precious metals? Isn’t the entire thesis of precious metals that they are separate from fiat and the stock market?

longdrivehome

Jumping on that last 20 minute SPY move saved my account from the other 7 hours 40 minutes of full fledge retard moves elsewhere jesus christ I'm an idiot

looool_k_libtard

People got crushed today (me included) on a minimally red SPY day lmao this shit is so volatile that a 5% correction probably nukes every decently high beta stock by 40%

version-two

I mean, a ton of tech stocks did sell of a good bit today. High beta plays, but I see a lot of red. I’m not saying the end is here or SPY fell 5%. And yes shiny rocks took a beating. We’ll see. It’s one day - but it was an interesting one. Maybe everything just had a correction at the same time

bearhunter429

#Yesterda and today were exactly the same. Both days SPY dipped -1.5% taking a bunch of stocks with it. Both days SPY fully recovered in the last hour while most stocks closed near day's low. LMAO🤌

brute-forced

SPY +1.28% YTD VXUS +4.08% YTD This moron is fucking all Americans.

UpwardCharterhouse

SPY opened at $691.85 and closed at $691.85 what a day.

# “But SPY is only down .3%” I HAVE RETARD STOCKS LMAO

GoZukkYourself

SPY is the try safe haven 💖

Bizonistic

SPY goes down 0.36%, port goes down 6.4%, genius

GoZukkYourself

SPY is less than 1% from the ATH ✅ Most of this sub is in shambles ✅ I love this place so much.

Cav829

And just think, SPY hasn't even had its blowoff top yet, so there are so many opportunities next week to trap retail once again.

Ble_h

SPY down only .3% and I’m somehow down 15%. I am a clown.

ten7four

SPY and QQQ both green YTD btw

bodymindtrader

SPY will mimic Silver this year!

FeelingBlue69

SPY or SNDK? haha

baller1able

Oh look guys, SPY ending the day flat like it always does 🙄

HistorianMuch8963

SPY is just allergic to big red day. crazy

Emilio___Molestevez

don't even fucking bother $SPY pissing me tf off with that shit rn

SPY 690’s at 12:30

Icy-Motor-8519

SPY never ceases to amaze me. Fuck I hate it lol

ylli101

The chart looks similar to last jan -> feb and then market sell off in feb to April. With all these catalysts right now, I’m willing to bet we see a drop on SPY to $640ish by end of feb

Nicksicurella

Gorgeous price action today on $SPY

FullOnRapistt

SPY puts for next Tuesday... Iran gonna get blown up

sn0ringFoxy

In the precious metals market alone: > **Gold** above-ground supply had an estimated value of **$39.48T** during its last 24 hr high. And a low of **$33.032T** during the same time period representing ~$6.46 trillion lost in value during this time period. > **Silver** above-ground supply had an estimated value of **$2.35T** in the same 24 hrs. And a low of **$1.63T** representing ~$720 billion lost in value during this time. Both bad but the total money lost, invested, gambled, etc looks different when zooming out. Retail definitely took a harder hit with Silver though. The most shocking thing to me is the apparent detachment in the general stock market which seems mostly unaffected (SPY only down 0.51% as of this writing) - my question is for *how long* can it be unaffected?

the_humeister

Except that day that SPY jumped 10% on a tweet in April 2025

fire_alarmist

Yes only in the fact that SPY is literally sitting there denying reality so hard.

ShillinTheVillain

SPY is down 0.5%

Gradeliop

I'm just speechless by what happened today... holy hell. I just wished I had more experience to take advantage of it. Lost some money on silver investment. I have no idea what to think of Monday. SPY will either go very up or very down.

Loose_Hornet4126

SPY did 86% as of today over 5 years. lol this guy is either a troll or a dumb troll. Never realized he was gambling for 4 years as long as they put on their "investor" hat for the day

I made easy money shorting SPY 0dte puts today while you degenerates kept trying to catch a falling knife and stressing yourself out.

SPY detached from its underlyings i guess

No-Improvement3164

How is SPY barely moving

NotMyMainLoLzy

Logic says Monday is a 2% down day on SPY. One year in and I think sanity is back on the menu. Puts locked in for Monday.

HotTruth999

Anyone can beat the SPY short term for a month or a year or even 3 years but you’ll never beat it long term.

DryGeneral990

SPY is down less than 1%.

Feisty-Basis7903

How is SPY still near ATHs when so many tickers outside of growth have been down 30-40% in past 3-4 months?!

DarthOniichan

Max pain for SPY is 690. Why do fuck do I buy 0DTEs?

You following anything else than boomer SPY?

ihopethisworksfornow

Easiest way to freak out someone who doesn’t know anything about the stock market is to pull up the all time chart on SPY, point to what now looks like a tiny blip back in 2008, and tell them “that was the financial crisis”. It doesn’t at all actually work like that, but it looks crazy when you know nothing.

Aggravating_Fig6288

Sold my puts at the bottom, picked up 0DTE calls with what was leftover in my cash and sold them on that fake as hell V. 30% up on my port today and saved from absolute disaster that was my 700c SPY calls that expired yesterday. I’m done for the day, good luck ‘gards

HistorianMuch8963

I wont fucking lie. that little red candle we just add dropping SPY 0.2% in seconds... top 3 moments of my life. and I'm 35 years old

North_Garbage_1203

I’ll call you what I want when you reference SPY over the actual index, SPX, when trying to reference market highs. There were significantly better plays to be made in the face of the current macro environment risks.

bearhunter429

#I'm just waiting for a day where all 500 stocks will be red but SPY will be still green and you idiots will say it makes perfect sense. LMAO🤌

Probablyyourproblem

SPY: I think I can I think I can I think I can

RedditsFullofShit

The point about you being wrong is because the price has only gone up with time. You can call bitcoin a ponzi but only shitcoins are scams. Bitcoin has performed just fine over its life. Just as the SPY has. Also no one here argued its currency. No one here argued it’s a hedge against anything. Bitcoin *is* a medium of exchange and it will remain a medium of exchange as long as it can be converted to dollars or pounds or insert fiat here. It’s no different than a video game, or Pokémon card. It’s a store of value whose price is dependent on what the market will pay for it. You don’t think video games and pokemon cards selling for 20k is just as ponzi as Bitcoin at 20k? Just because it’s a hard asset that I can hold in my hand doesn’t give it any real utility or value. It’s only worth 20k if someone else agrees it is and pays the price. Now to a more pertinent point, it *is* a medium of exchange. You can convert your wealth to Bitcoin, fly to anywhere in the world and convert it into that local currency and withdraw it to your bank there. It may not be used in commerce, but it *is* used to move money. And it can be used to legally move money especially if you live in a country where there is legitimate fear that the government could fall overnight and the out crowd could have their wealth or assets seized. Consider it a Swiss bank account for the normie who might have to flee. Like imagine you lived in Ukraine and wanted to flee before you were murdered. You gonna wait around for the bank to open? What if the leader declares all funds must stay in country to try to keep you from fleeing? Etc. There’s a reason and a use case for holding digital assets. It’s not currency. It’s not a hedge against fiat. It’s a tool to be used for storing and moving assets. It might go up in value or down but over time, it’s only gone higher if you continue to hold.
