How many days does SPY chop sideways now?
It's just that SPY is literally being propped up by semi/dram tech. It is carrying QQQ on its back. And Samsung/hynix happen to be a significant portion of the market. Thus KOSPI
SPY falls 5 cents AH, and bers start precumming. Lmao 745 by morning
SPY wishes it was up as much as the KOSPI YTD
Kospi only down 4.6% in last one month while SPY down 2% same timeframe.
Pretty sure it stands for Korean SPY…
Ayo SPY you're going the wrong way
I have 279K in SCHD, VYM, SPY, and VXUS at 24. Will continue to contribute.
I don't think you should blindly follow what other random redditors are telling you in the comments. You're giving me the impression of somebody who should really only be purchasing SPY and maybe a few individual stocks here and there, absolutely no options. But be my guest.
Why buy SPY when we have SLS
SPY flatline on robinhood . no one care about kospi
Got tired of the wild swings with semi stonks so switched to SPY calls instead at 735 🥸
You should but SPY and QQQ options can be trades for upto 15 mins after expiry
> but its not, its a proxy for the index Not just that, it's meant to track SPX at approximately 1/10th the value of the index. So, if SPX is at 8000 then SPY should be 800. Just clarifying that there are other ETFs that track SPX like say VOO, but SPY is unique (as far as I know) in that it's meant to trade at 1/10th the value of the SPX.
ELI5 version: SPY and VOO and other funds are supposed to track their indexes in the short term (and long term) but need to be rebalanced, which means the size of each company inside the fund needs to be slightly increased or slightly reduced. For most, that happens daily. But during the day, people are free to buy or sell them at whatever price market makers are setting between (and based on) the bid and ask price. Any time something is freely traded, the price will move up or down with supply and demand. (ex: GOOG vs GOOGL are functionally the same, but often have different prices because no market is perfectly efficient) When they are rebalanced, however, the price may change a bit to reflect the actual prices of the individual companies inside. Also, some funds don't try to EXACTLY follow their index—they are designed to approximate the underlying asset (thing of value).
SPY looks like it wants to dick around 741-736 all week, finding a different play
ETFs is the best picks. Basket of companies and don’t need to guess who will win 🥇. SPY VOO SMH SOXX you can’t miss.

It’s brings me great joy to announce that Iran has never been so prosperous after a belligerent bombing campaign carried out by the great United States. It’s with this joy we are announcing the memorandum of freedom for those willing to participate. I and a very special Iranian representative (to be selected shortly) will be tying a red and blue bandana together in a sign of peace similarly to the Crips and Bloods. Thank you for your attention to this matter. SPY rockets to 775 intra day.
So when the contract expired I had the obligation to buy 100 shares of SPY at $733 each for a total of $73,300. Normally when the contract expires the broker will close and the user will only lose a couple of bucks. But something happened in their system. When I checked my account there was no 100 shares of SPY to sell back to the market but the broker still alledges that I owe them $73,300. This is a technical fault on the broker's side. Also I only have a cash account of $2000 USD which makes naked puts impossible to buy buy their system still went through with it.
The short answer is that it is impossible to make money trading SPY against SPX. If you think you've found a way to do it, you've misunderstood something about how they work. E.g., SPY has dividends, but SPX does not have dividends. However, the cost of dividends is included in the SPX price. So, you might be looking at /ES futures in contango (i.e., they are trading higher than the current S&P 500 index price) thinking that you could make money buying SPY and shorting an equivalent dollar amount in /ES, but you'd be wrong.
SPY down 58 cents. Shorts in control
Idiocracy sequel: “buy SPY to hedge the put I sold”
Pretty sure that you are misunderstanding something or you are lying. 1 contract put SPY 733 expiry 6-25 no matter when sold is not out of the money $70k. What details am I missing?

I WANT SPY TO OPEN AT 728 TOMORROW SO THAT MSFT CAN OPEN AT 390 (it inverses SPY. Many such cases)
Because SPY is an ETF designed to track the index which regards can buy and sell with Arbitrage algos eventually kicks in and balances things out
Looks like SPY bounced off the key June 9th support level. Without some seriously negative development, we probably keep grinding upwards to new ATHs again.

Shoebody Bop-ing SPY to 750.
This will be one of those weeks you look back and see SPY pumped 35 points in 3 days. And where were you?
I wish there was for these little blips in the market but not that I know of. Maybe some big X accounts discussed it? If you want to check for yourself, you can check out any 1min candle chart of SPY, then do the same for SPX. Check out that huge whick and the close of the 3:59PM candle on SPY, then close of the 4:00PM candle on SPX. That’s the source of the difference OP is seeing
Today was great. I'm thinking SPY stays pumping. I say we push through 741 and test 743 by EOD
Going to buy 7300 SPX puts expiring tomorrow as soon as HOOD opens their overnight options in 3 hours from now. Hoping SPY can hold into this fake rally till then.
and IVV is +1.92% for some reason, VOO, SPY, SPYM are 1.6-1.66% ES1! is only 0.15% higher than SPX but they’re still only 1.18-1.33% I don’t understand
SPY going back to 730 by open tomorrow like today never happened LMAO
Its SPY, dude. Buy it when its green, buy it when its red. Who cares?

I sold my SPY calls EOD, I don’t trust this market.
I believe my SPY puts are cooked
Imagine the V going straight to SPY 780
july and august earnings hitting. it's like actual adrenochrome for the market. SPY 800 in 2 months is not a meme, we'll be seeing ATH's never before imagined possible.
If SPCX is profitable and meets their float criteria I'd be happy to have it in SPY... I'm not opposed to SpaceX, I'm opposed to indexes suddenly being ok with adding in speculative money furnaces with tiny floats
Advancing: 50%, Declining 45% * SPY: +1.65% * QQQ: +2.49% Very narrow rally.
Actually, when SPCX is added to the SPY, it would cause a much larger disruption. The way NASDAQ is doing it is much more gentle.
Held SPY calls over the weekend, sold for 74% profit at open, didn’t lose out on too much, and that crash out would have ruined me if I held. W Day.
As a newly converted Bol (I'm actually not loyal to any specific outlook), SPY 750 tomorrow would be massive 😎
IDK what reddit comments you were reading, but seemed like we were all telling people that was a stupid idea and that index investors can basically ignore SpaceX. That being said I'm pretty suspicious of the Nasdaq decision-making process now and am even more sure that I should just stick with SPY.
the arb you're describing is actually backwards - if SPY is running rich to SPX, you'd short SPY against long SPX exposure, not buy more SPY calls. the creation/redemption mechanism is what normally keeps ETFs in line with their index, but it takes time to settle, so intraday dislocations can persist longer than you'd expect before authorized participants close the gap.
SPY calls for tomorrow again
There was a whole debacle with SPY/SPX at the close Friday. SPY and even ES and SPX I suppose had a mini flash crash, SPY made it all the way down to 715, closed that flash crash candle at 3:59:59.999. SPX can adjusted its closing price at or after 4PM. So SPX adjusted up at 4:00:00 PM that .5% difference you’re seeing. SPY doesn’t have a mechanism to adjust the closing price like SPX does. TLDR there’s no arb or anything you can do to take advantage of this

The dark side of science they don’t tell you is that if you rewind time, then your poop goes back in you. SPY 760C.
Bought overnight SPY calls, prepare for the dump boys. Sorry
The hedgefunds rebalanced at the last minute Friday to sell a ton of SPY just for SPY to go up almost 2% the next trading day.
I think SPY is ending at 740. No liquidity here. Hopefully it tanks more.

Holding 7/1 SPY $740c overnight dumb?
So far, pretty good green start of the week, contrarily to what my Ber opinion was early in the weekend. As someone holding SPY calls expiring one of week, I hope the pre-4th of July rally continues to be sharp so I can print tendies
Damn forgot to check my Friday SPY calls until just now and ofc these things are up lmao. Like clockwork every weekend these things printing.

most of the money pushing them up is coming from passive fund investing tbh. remember TSLA is still a large component of both SPY and QQQ.
SPY doesn’t know what she wants anymore
I believe in miracles. Coming to pick up my QQQ 722p and SPY 740p. Man went full retard today on the puts.
Really weak volume on SPY and QQQ today for the size of the move.
Because the ETF is its own security, made up of a collection of securities that (in this case) mirror the index. However, the ETF's price isn't set by the index, but by the market trades of the ETF itself. In theory it should follow the index closely and should correct if it gets too far away from it in either direction, but in the short term, individual trades can shift the values a bit. Also, SPY and VOO pay different dividend yields. If those dividends are paid out or reinvested will change the value of the ETF without affecting the value of the underlying securities. Therefore those dividends will also be "priced in" and affect the value of the ETF.
So funny, was so bullish 24 hr ago in here, now its "SPY 800 by EOW!"
Market up that much becoz my SPY call expired on Friday .
I need something catastrophic to happen like rumors of a .00000000005% rate hike so SPY can dump to 720
A few mechanics can cause this on any given day. First, dividend reinvestment timing — the S&P 500 index assumes dividends are reinvested instantaneously and frictionlessly, but the actual ETF holds cash briefly before reinvesting, which can create a tiny positive or negative drag depending on what the market does in that window. Second, securities lending — VOO and SPY lend out shares to short sellers and earn income on that, which the theoretical index doesn’t capture. On days where lending income is distributed or accrued, the ETF can technically nudge ahead. Third, intraday pricing — the S&P 500 ‘return’ is calculated close-to-close, but ETFs trade live, so you get different numbers depending on exactly when you’re measuring. Fourth, index rebalancing — when the S&P adds or removes a stock, the index assumes it happens at the exact close price. Real ETFs have to trade in the market, sometimes getting slightly better fills. Any of these can create a day or two of apparent outperformance before fees drag it back below.
The Koreans are gonna have a blast ruining this upward SPY trend aren’t they
don't worry, if SPY is even a little red tomorrow MU will drop 10% and stay there
How we feel about SPY giving back 2 bucks before close
Aight, after messing around and scalping over 100 USD today, I now have 2 SPY 749C expiring on July 2nd (last trading day before 4th of July). Let's see how fucked or not I am with that Bol position 😅 https://preview.redd.it/dtl9e03bs9ah1.png?width=787&format=png&auto=webp&s=f671a4305864fc3aba86a22fe485684238d46cbc
Dude just dip a little bit, SPY is invincible lol
#The best pair trade ever is SPY calls & MSFT puts LMAO🤌
I want to buy SPY puts so bad cause this feels fake but beats never ever win
Institutional ownership is massive — Vanguard alone holds nearly 8%, and it’s the top holding in SPY, QQQ, and most major ETFs, so essentially anyone with an index fund owns it indirectly. On the retail/active side, the interesting shift is defense contractors like Raytheon making serious semiconductor investments, which is a newer demand driver beyond the usual hyperscaler narrative. The risk isn’t whether people are buying — clearly everyone is — it’s whether the current price already prices in 3-4 more years of flawless execution. That’s the harder question.
Be careful bol. SPY is going back to 735 by close LMAO
I’ve got calls on SPCX TSLA SPY and MU and I feel dirty about it
