The funny part is that SPYD has outperformed SPY ytd even without considering the divedend.
For everybody saying SPY is at ATH, if it just stuck to its 500 day moving average, it would be at ATH every day.
I did brother…bought the SPY and chilling.
Well besides today in the last couple days SPY has been shooting up to all time highs. A little pull back today but I think it will be worse in the next couple days. Big bubble burst.
ngl the indexes posted a pretty ugly candle today... this probably isn't a lockout rally, but more of a slow melt up. Institutions are switching from OTM to ITM calls. SPY 800 EOY.
Why did SPY hit ATH this week Don’t think too much about reasons lol
I'm so lost with SPY at staggering ATH, and memory halved... literally neutral sentiment

Bro saw people making bank on SPY calls the last two days and decided to try his luck 😂
Not easy but doable, I’ve had best luck with QQQ it’s more volatile than SPY
If SPY was $771 how do you make money on a $787 Call?
SPY -5% tomorrow by the way
Think about it like supply and demand. If something doesn't seem likely, not many people want to buy it. As it becomes more likely, more people want it, so price will go up from the "some in demand". Well SPY hit $800 next week? Not likely, so the options in that strike range are cheap to reflect that. If SPY jumps to 790 tomorrow, getting to 800 is so much more likely and the very same contracts will price on that likelihood.
SPY +5% tomorrow by the way
Bought 3 month DTE PUTS on SPY
The problem is you don’t know where the top is at. SPY could run to $830 before you finally get a 10% pullback. Which seems far more likely than dumping a market thats gone sideways for 3 months and finally breaking out.
Why VOO and not SPY though? Are they not basically the same?
Literally been in meetings and site visits all day , SPY looks flat AH, why are people freaking the fuck out??
Why don't u just put it into vanguard, or any other SPY ETFs, just let it sit there, you'll still earn 8% without too much risk.
Bols pumping SPY up to today's resistance like regarded 🐖s. You know what happens to 🐖s right?
so SPY calls every single day? why not
VOO is currently at $708.55 as I type this comment. VOO will need to decline 2.6% from this current level for the 690 to be at the money let alone in the money and turn a profit. Unless you were positioning for a 5% correction by Friday, which is possible but highly unlikely, 3 out of 5 of these will expire worthless. I bought SPY puts with 8/7 exp close to the top today myself and they are in the money already. I will likely sell them tomorrow morning if we get the pullback I’m expecting. As was previously mentioned, trade the SPY options, not the VOO. The liquidity and spreads are much better. And if you’re looking for a big move you have to buy some time, more than a day or two. Good luck!
Shorting SPY is like betting against America. U dont bet against America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I see you sold them at 10AM CST, if you were to hold little longer would have been 1M, if I'm not mistaken as SPY rallied all day yesterday
Naw fam SPY going to 8000
No I have been scalping SPY and QQQ like a little bitch. Also took some gains on puts with SpaceX yesterday, but I too got IV crushed. Luckily it dropped enough to make a 30% gain on a weekly. Staying out of the SpaceX share unlocking tomorrow. I don’t have the stomach for options except the occasional couple hundred dollar lotto ticket.
I put the last of my tendies on SPY 775c
Bers so fukd… SPY taking off AH. Strait opening imminent
Why is everyone so confident SPY can't revisit 740 that pumped on fake news?
Got Friday SPY call . please pump .
Anyone still confident SPY rockets to 800?
No, but SPY was up almost 1% today at it's highs after one of the biggest 4 day rallies in history
What percentage of SPY do they make up?
Imagine losing everything with a SPY -0.21% day
You should have done it SPY. No balls!!
SPY pls go down so I can make some money in the next week or two
SPY drop is pretty confined thus far, will see if theres a briader memory pullback tomorrow though we already had a string pullback from the Leopold Assbender and Korean grandads getting margin called so its already pretty flushed

What magic manipulation is even holding SPY up at this level with seemingly everything else down?
Shit ton of $795 and $799 Monday SPY lottos. SPY in the mid 790s by Friday would erase a year of mistakes trading. Just need 2 more 2% days lmao ..
SPY with it's biggest 4 day Rally in the history of the ETF and you think people aren't rich just simply longing the biggest index on earth?
People thought SPY will be going up 2% everyday for a year. It didn't so now people will think it will go down 2% every day.
Yes but losses are quick. I did lose 1k today on SPY. I bought a call at 775 today literal moments before it started sliding from 775 to 771 and just tanked. After being up 2 weeks straight and showing no signs of dipping the moment I bought it fucking tanked. Learned my lesson fuck SPY
You wouldn’t have survived the days of M/W/F SPY options.
!Banbet $SPY +/- 3.5% 1 DAY
interesting question, but important to contextualize the first. remember, VOO/SPY themselves ARE momentum strategies - they buy winners and roll out losers. so the passive holders are actually momentum investors which is a fantastic long-term strategy. that's why adding an economic structure like DCA on top works so well. there are other versions that also work really well like DCA with realized profit trimming, etc. options are just vehicles, nothing more. a trader could easily overlay an options strategy onto the index DCA approach and that would operate just fine - but have a different risk reward profile. there are lots of minimal impact strategy a trader can run with options, they just all come with corresponding drawbacks that need to be reconciled with. when you add specifically selling options domain, that adds a layer of complexity because we're not effectively removing the primary driver of DCA and chill returns > uncapped upside and flipping that effectively. we're capping upside and taking skewed downside risk in exchange for a higher probability of making it. in that world, i do not think there is a simple parallel to outperform DCA/B&H on a friction adjusted basis.
#SPY green in the after hours market just as I predicted LMAO🤌
Everyone thought SPY was going to fall today, but it went up. Are we going up or down tomorrow?
Don’t do VOO options. Use SPX or SPY
I bought a 08/07 SPY 763 put today so it's definitely not crashing before next week.
All in 0dte SPY puts tomorrow morning
Ahhh. Remember Happy\_Discussion\_536? The permabol who spammed SPY 700 since liberation day? He was constantly wrong and deleted his account :KEK:
A persistent question I have been thinking about is the idea of “static strategy on a dynamic environment”. The “VOO/SPY and chill” camp is no doubt interesting(and for good reason) bc it is, in a sense, a static strategy (DCA into the index) that operates on a dynamic environment (the economy). I was wondering on your thoughts as to if there exists (practically or theoretically) similar static (or at least minimal maintenance and brain power) strategies within the options world? Not necessarily asking for comparabilities to index performance (tho that’d be nice lol), but definitely curious as to if a mentality like “VOO and chill” can exist in the selling options domain.

Imagine buying 0dte calls on SPY today after back to back +1.5% days
wow that must mean SPY is down 50% right? lmao
SPY can’t break 9,999 until it gets a 0.0s time in Chocobo racing.
SPY 10,000 tomorrow
Whats the next money maker? I think AI and Memory going to be out for a while. The SPY rush was nice but not sure when a movement like that will hit the market again.. what should we do to get them lambos or priuses.
Most of the MAG7 down or flat and SPY is still at 770?
we need multiple -20% days for SPY to be priced in rational price ranges
I run an algo that runs mostly 0DTE SPY $1-wide vertical credit spreads. As a single multi-leg limit order, what is the largest number of spreads you can generally enter and exit near the quoted net price without material slippage or slow/partial fills? To be clear, I mean **spread quantity** (e.g., 250 spreads = 250 contracts per leg), primarily during the morning/early afternoon. Calls or puts. For reference, I use Alpaca.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we go back to 700 on SPY by end of month
SPY 786...**today**? https://preview.redd.it/u6lxwjxbcmhh1.png?width=717&format=png&auto=webp&s=39235b143eca5d07186afef367cdfb95ed6c7165
At least SPY not giving a fuck. QQQ still in the dunce corner.
SNDK is having a mild 8% dip, SPY is going to have a mild -99% correction in the following months if Micheal burry is right.
And SPY still climbing after hours. 🤡

Feels like momentum dried up. No or any Iran news and we retrace 1% or more. There is no deal that is close - Trump is speaking out of his a\*\* and Iran will drag this out until Midterms as the US too low on missles. We probably churn between SPY 710 and SPY 790 for the rest of the year and theta gang wins.
SPY: I am going to +1% tomorrow for no reason again.
SPY for the love of Christ I need you to pump, these calls need to print
VOO is SPY with cheaper ER. Buffet himself has said VOO is best for the average person because you can’t beat the market.
I’m hoping to get all the money that I lost a couple of days from my SPY and QQQ puts in next few days 😆
This could be the 7th time SPY has gone up +5% over 4 days, then gap up as much as it did today, only to finish the day with a return of less than +0.1%. Here was the next day after those events: +2.6% +1.1% +2.3% -2.1% +3.1% +1.8%
Bears will try to short the market if SPY breaches 770 and that will fuel the next leg higher lol
SPY to below 500 dollars
Holding QQQ $727 puts and SPY $776 puts😎
Eating handsomely from my ZETA calls and SPY puts 😎
AAPL pumping SPY dumping. A little but interesting still
That SPY 760 retest will be a blessing for anyone looking to get long. Will load 3 month out $800 calls if it comes
If SPY dropping $1 today ruined you after yesterdays green candle dick, I dunno what to tell you.
Here’s what’s going to happen tomorrow: SPCX will tank below $100 on 900M share unlock SPY drops when Trumpet reverses sentiment on Iran NVDA will retrace $210 after rising on Musk comments yesterday
Got 0dte SPY $777 calls just cause if I win it’s a jackpot 😎
Spacex could technically become profitable anytime they wanted but they're choosing heavy Capex investment instead, which thankfully should keep them out of SPY for a while
Calls on SPY, QQQ, and DIA , 0dtes
Shouldve bought QQQ puts instead of SPY, my shit is fucked.
SNDK just bought SPY
I thought they denied spcx and most AI focused company’s into the SPY
