Isn't SPY like 5% from it's ATH?
SPY can be a reasonable long-term investment, but I’d distinguish “safe from losses” from “a way to build purchasing power over time.” The point isn’t just diversification. It’s giving your money a chance to grow faster than inflation. According to UBS, U.S. equities delivered an annualized real return of about 6.6% from 1900 through 2025. That’s the broad U.S. stock market, not SPY specifically, and it’s historical performance—not a promise about future returns. There’s also a reason many long-term investors are comfortable matching the market rather than trying to beat it. S&P Dow Jones Indices found that 79% of actively managed U.S. large-cap funds underperformed the S&P 500 in 2025. That statistic applies to professional funds, not individual retail traders, but it shows that even professional management doesn’t make outperformance automatic. Warren Buffett made a famous ten-year bet on this idea. From 2008 through 2017, the S&P 500 index fund he selected gained 125.8% in total, while the five funds-of-funds selected by Protégé Partners each finished behind it. It’s one historical example, not proof that index funds always win, but it illustrates the challenge of picking managers who can beat the market after costs. None of this makes SPY a savings account. It can fall substantially, so keep your emergency fund and money you’ll need in the near future separate. Investing a fixed amount every month can help you stick to a process, but it doesn’t prevent losses or guarantee a profit. For the practical setup, compare SPY with lower-cost S&P 500 ETFs such as VOO or IVV. Check fund expenses, brokerage fees, recurring-purchase options, and the tax treatment of the account. The iPhone isn’t the issue—the brokerage and account behind the app matter much more. You don’t have to outperform the market to build wealth. You need a sustainable contribution habit, manageable costs, and a plan you can stick with when the market stops being fun.
200k today is enough to retire on in 30-40 years if you buy SPY or VOO shares and never touch it btw
I bought SPY puts on Tuesday, expecting the price to drop. Since I was only risking a small amount and treating it more like a gamble, I went way out of the money and bought 10 SPY $744 puts while SPY was trading around $763. Each contract cost me $0.04, so I spent just $40 total. I ended up selling all 10 contracts for $300, which I was pretty happy with at the time. But those same contracts eventually became worth almost $13,000. It's crazy to think that $40 could've turned into nearly $13K. But realistically would I have actually held through $1K, $5K, or even $10K without selling? Probably not. It's easy to look back and think about what could've been but holding through those kinds of gains is a completely different story.
Can someone explain what SPY is and why it popped off?
You have to take the down with the ups, I assume you were heavy in the AI trade hoping for quick money like so many others. What I’d suggest is the bulk of your money should be in the SPY and then have a smaller separate account for active trading you don’t mind losing. The SPY is up 7% this year, a decent year in terms of returns, that allows you sleep at night if the bulk of your money is in there.
SPY calls a month or two out will print so fucking hard right now
Anyone who has followed markets at all knows that Jensen has been fucking with SPY for years. He’s taken good care of SPY, made love to SPY, sometimes broken SPY’s heart.
First, I’m not a big believer in international. I don’t understand those markets well enough. Also, long term, foreign has never outperformed US equities. Not today it can’t, it just never has. And there’s a reason for that, with few exceptions, no one is as pro business as the US. Germany is the manufacturing hub of Europe. It’s seen zero growth in 20+ years. Eurostox has seen zero growth in 20 years. Meanwhile the S&P is doubling every 4 years. Second, diversity is one way to protect yourself. The problem is, those “diversified” funds are no longer diversified. They are extremely too heavy as well and extremely exposed to tech. Go look at the top holdings of SPY, QQQ, IXN, XLK, SPYG, SPYV, etc. you’re in for a surprise . . . They all hold the same equities. They are all extremely top heavy. They’re not as diversified as they once were.
QQQ barely down 13.8% (SPY 4%) and retards are already getting liquidated. What will happen to us when QQQ declines 40%?
Underperforming SPY: 😐 Underperforming a HYSA: 🫤 Getting outperformed by a guy who keeps posting about how his ass smells:

Remember when this Chinese SPY boned a Federal Reserve researcher, had a child with him, all so she could send secrets to China? https://i.imgur.com/R0ORXC8.png https://i.imgur.com/YK48lj6.png
I put a few K into 12/18 SPY $703 puts in mid Oct and those did pretty well yesterday but easily coulda been worthless. I’m fine small risk here/there but you guys losing 50% of your portfolio in a single day are wild.
This is fine I guess. But, what the market needs is loans to be cheaper. There is a lot of debt out there and not enough "real" cash (lol). If only someone hadn't done stuff to juice inflation and "weaken the dollar", fed could cut rates and the upcoming AI debt-pocalypse could be avoided. (If SPY is green on Monday, ignore the above, I always knew it would work out.)
It was a weekend risk sell off, we've all seen how the US Admin typically waits for weekend to escalate with Iran. Money that jumped in Thursday, taking a quick easy gain, before the weekend was how I read it. If you're bullish what your most likely to see tomorrow it a dead cat bounce to a higher high, that probably fades, but than rallies into end of day. 740$ on SPY and 660$ on QQQ, flipping to support would be bullish to me (wouldn't love RSP losing 215$ as well)
Sure... That's exactly why people are coming after you. This is a betting channel of options and high risk stocks. And you show SPY and SCHD. Laughable.
What are you even talking about dude, the SPY is up today and only down 5% the last month. Were you full ported in Sandisk calls or some shit, positions?

No and if so not until SPY is at 1100, I think those prices were elevated "deliberately" by MM to fuck over retail, sell calls to retail, and offload their shares at a high price
Is there a single stock out there that has retained value over the last few months? Almost everything seems like a constant pump n dump, even broad funds like the SPY. Only stocks I actually feel comfortable holding long term are some midstream oil ones who pretty much can guarantee high dividend payouts with how solid their financials are. Everything else I just flip or I end up regretting it.
Does anybody know if I can do a chargeback on all of my 0SPY calls today? I don’t like how they turned out (lost 100%) and want my money back.
The 1W RSI on SPY printed some huge bear divergences from 26 May 2026 to 10 Aug 2026 to 5 Oct 2026 that preceded the fall from $781 to $732. This indicated a positive risk/reward for short positions.
SPY could go down to 700
bond yields are doing that weird thing again which makes me nervous af. part of me hopes for volatility so I can gamble on SPY puts, other part wants to sleep without dreaming about margin calls. financial ruin as entertainment is peak brainrot but here we are. if the market gaps down Monday I'm buying a vape pen and crying in a parking lot. W or L doesn't matter anymore just chaos.
Things are going to get spicy if SPY fall through 725
QQQ? Of course tech is in shambles. I’m talking about the real market SPY. 😋
SPY drawdown: 6%. QQQ drawdown: 14%. LMAO
https://x.com/ShaneStoffer/status/2113333564330655890 Notice to how prior to closing the position the BID was at 9.05? And after closing out at 9.50 the new bid was then 9.50? He unknowingly was pushing up the options chains using size and mid-fill orders. His account was then marked for non-favorable fills after. Its why when he tried doing BULK on SPY They blew him out Before: https://x.com/ShaneStoffer/status/2114734281285423364 After: https://x.com/ShaneStoffer/status/2114749439000604994 What I am saying is, A few people where able to make huge gains doing this, it didn't really matter what the market was doing. Many people think that he just got randomly lucky or he's a MM asset but all he was doing was abusing the mid-fill price improvement.

Just know this from an inside point of view, Citadel owns a FUCK ton of SPY at 480. Like a heroic amount. If the market where to have its worst case scenario play out, that would be the absolute lowest low

There will be a 5% SPY Shrek dildo b4 the year ends PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Boring ass day but that $2 range was basically free money, I just didn’t go in big because I had zero trust. Finished the day with +$883 scalping SPY all morning. Have a good weekend chat.
If this isn’t the afterhours buying frenzy of the year idk what will be, it’s literally like Christmas or Black Friday—NVIDIA under 200, AAPL under 350, SPY under 735… what more could millionaires and hedgies want??
TOGI was the sign of a top. Motherfucker was market buying 1000 SPY contracts all at once.
It felt like it was earlier. I had SPCX and SPY puts that started printing. Sold them. Repositioned back into them with the profits just in case they reprint later in the day but its house money now
If you liked -4% SPY, You are going to love -8% SPY.
what a fake green day on SPY today wow
50 million USD SPY 710 P 11/20/2026 OPENED You are all fucked, CPI will kill this chat.
I almost bought those contracts, but I went with SPY 725 for Monday The open interest on the 725 and 710 is seductive
Uh, I read some regard saying “SPY calls today any price”, said alright I’ll bite, then I made 90k off of like 2k in like 3 hours. Then, I just started watching the markets a lot more, made 113k off another session, etc etc. It’s a lot of pattern recognition and patience.
Robinhood is terrible. They sold my SPY puts at 3:45. They tripled minutes later.
I am not overleveraged to tech, in fact I sold AI end of September and went back into other sectors. But when SPY dumps more than 4% it doesnt matter, everything shit the bed yesterday.
Could go either way Monday. 1hr time frame has SPY sitting at the bottom channel of the bear flag

#Bols are pathetic. After a -5% day, they could barely keep SPY green by 0.3%. They couldn't even muster a proper dead cat bounce. LMAO🤌⛹🏾
The key is not simply buying cheaper premium. It’s choosing the right exposure under the right volatility conditions. **1. Vega vs. intrinsic value** Buying OTM LEAPS during a sharp selloff can mean paying a substantial volatility premium. Even if SPY rebounds, falling IV can offset part of the directional gain. Deep ITM LEAPS offer higher delta and more intrinsic value, but require significantly more capital. Neither structure is automatically better - compare delta, extrinsic value, IV, breakeven and total exposure. **2. Position management** You don’t have to hold LEAPS until expiration. If the position gains value, rolling to a later expiry or adjusting the strike may help manage exposure. But rolling is not risk removal, and the economics depend on both contracts’ pricing and volatility. **3. The Wheel alternative** You could also sell cash-secured puts at strikes where you’d genuinely be comfortable owning SPY, then sell covered calls if assigned. For illustration, the $720 SPY setup I shared showed: Delta: 0.33 Mid premium: $11.00 Bid/ask spread: \~1% OI: 2,966 BPR: $72,000 Indicated monthly yield: 1.3% These are figures from my example setup, not a Gamma Flow recommendation or a guaranteed return. The Wheel collects premium, but carries substantial downside exposure if SPY keeps falling. **The Gamma Flow perspective:** IV Rank, VRP, term structure and dealer gamma positioning all matter. Rich premium is not automatically attractive when the volatility regime signals elevated risk. **Bottom line:** LEAPS: defined premium risk, long-term directional exposure. Wheel: premium income with potential equity ownership and downside risk. Rolling: position management, not risk elimination. The objective is not to find the cheapest option. It’s to structure the exposure intelligently. **Structure first. Risk first.** *For informational and educational purposes only.

Basically index funds cover a wide range of stocks or other financial instruments to follow a country's or industry's performance more generally. S&P 500 is a great example, it follows the 500 biggest US companies. ETF's are the actual things you buy when trying to follow an index fund (SPY for example is an ETF of the S&P 500). ETF's tend to be less risky than individual stocks since they follow average performance rather than individual sucess. They also tend to make less money and are quite boring in the short term, which is why regards on this sub tend to avoid them.
Bought 11/6 IONQ 30c yesterday for nothing, sold them at 10:30 for 10% gain and bought 0DTE SPY puts. What a collossal fuck up
@Mikiyami My .02$ …I’d exercise 1/3 -1/2 and throw proceeds into some inferior good stock that moves contrary to the market. Call options or just equity has unlimited upside potential whereas put can only max out at $0.00 and if SPY goes to $0.00 then it wouldn’t matter what your return was bc the USofA is cooked and the $dollar would be meaningless.
Should I buy SPY puts today?
70% of the time after a 4% drop in the SPY it drops another 4% within 6 trading days.
