I need SPY to hit 777 today. Just for like 30 seconds. Preferably while I'm looking at the market.
SPY went up but my SPX calls dropped from 2.50->1.85 cause of that blip dip between the launch and here. Weak as fuck.

holdings overlap is the weakest of the measures you listed, and it is the one everyone reaches for. two funds can share 40% of their weight and still behave almost identically, because the names they do not share are usually the same kind of company anyway. overlap undercounts the problem. what i would actually do is boring. take the three funds, build the blended weight of the portfolio, and compare it to plain SPY on two things: share of the top 10 names, and sector weights. if you are at, say, 41% top ten against SPY's 33%, you have your answer in one number and it is a number you can restate every year. correlation in selloffs is worth checking but do not expect it to tell you much. everything correlates in a drawdown, that is basically the definition of one. what varies is the depth, so compare max drawdown and recovery time rather than the correlation itself. the framing i would keep is the one you already have. this is not a diversification question, it is a tilt question. the honest test is whether you can say out loud what the tilt is and what would make you drop it. someone who says "i want more large cap US growth and i would cut it if the earnings breadth narrows" is fine. someone who thinks three tickers equals three bets is the one who gets hurt, because they will find out what they own during the drawdown rather than before it.
Technically you are still down a lot compared to buying TBills or SPY
The p ly way this is possible.......is someone here held SPY puts overnight.
cmon CPI give us a like +3% SPY day

Because arbitrarily selling puts to gain theta day "quicker", as OP puts it, isn't the best way to think about it. The people in this reddit and thetagang need to stop focusing on so much on theta. It's just a Greek; all it does is tell you how much that option is going to decay throughout time. There's no edge to it just like the rest of the greek values. You make money being short premium/volatility when realized vol is lower than the implied vol you sold it for. Which is especially true for shorter dated options since gamma is so high. I'm also assuming most people probably don't delta hedge their trades here, direction will matter then too. If you've traded 0dte's. It's not hard for $1.00 options to jump to $5.00 in the matter of minutes with a big enough move. For example, Aug 4th SPY 765C 0dte opened that day at $.22 and had an intraday high of $8.42. What theta decay are you getting there? lol

Holding SMCI 7x 40C 08/14 @ 0.36 5 x 40C 8/22 @ 0.57 Selling the 8/14 within 1st 30 mins. Looking to hold 8/21 till 40+ Then, my usually scalping of SPY. Wait till it finds its range for the day, then scalp 10-15% for at least 20-30hrs worth of work in profits.
Bonds are unlikely to outperform in the long run as you experienced, but are good for peace of mind. You mentioned that you are a couch investor yourself so Im guessing you deal decently well with volatility and probably dont need the money in the short term. I would say go with the VOO or SPY in your case.
my most profitable trades have been longing the Nikkei for 2 days because SPY and Nasdaq being flat AF. What a time to be alive.
For me VOO or SPY is already enough, as you said a lot of QQQ or any other popular overlaps so there is no point. I think about geographical diversification in what the businesses actually do. For VOO, most companies operate around the world so US concentration wouldn’t be that big a problem. But if you are still concerned I think a small portion of country or region specific ETFs to go with VOO would be good. Lets say Alibaba from China becomes the biggest company in the world in 20 years somehow, you would still capture that in a China or Asian ETF while your American companies also do their jobs.
Buy Puy day for SPY
CPI won’t come out due to it being communism , SPY up 5% on the news
It depends on where you start. Start with SPY? VUG is just weighting towards growth, and QQQ would mostly weight towards tech, albeit with 15 or so extra companies. So overall, decreasing diversification. Start with QQQ? Adding SPY adds quite a bit of diversification.
SPY CEO came into the wendies I work at & I overheard him say the same shit
That’s basically the wheel, but 0DTE adds a lot of gamma and assignment risk for relatively little premium. I’d prefer longer-dated puts, and only at a strike where I’d genuinely be comfortable owning SPY through a downturn. Selling monthly calls after assignment is reasonable, but it won’t undo a large drop in the shares.

I know the direction the SPY is moving tomorrow but I'm not going to tell you. Sorry. Maybe next time offer to suck my dink.
Bol also need to freeze SPY before big dump tomorrow
SPY calls because there is no inflationary implications to the economy that will come out tomorrow.. it will be adjusted to the correct amount in three months when they put out the real numbers for last month. And no one will know…

Weird, I do the opposite... I wait till something is really beaten down (typically SPY -- think April this year) or another value stock (Google/APPL/AMZ, etc.), then buy 1-3 trenches way OTM calls at least a year out, then sell CC's on that position.
SPY and especially QQQ, look at Korea right now, this is what you should be fucking doing.
What we thinking for SPY tomorrow?
This describes the week's SPY activity (so far).
SPY at $800 would be like a 4% increase from today’s close lol hardly a massive change
$SPY $QQQ building a house or building a datacenter, when use a big leveraged loans, for building and no ROI, they all collapse similar way like 2008-GFC No ROI from AI last 4 years vibe , like ponzi spending
cant wait to wake up in the middle of the night, check SPY and see $775 go back to bed and wake up wait for CPI. They absolutely cooked the books SPY shoots to $781 before open before everyone fomos in while drooling $800! $800! as we push to $786 by EOD while my lotto calls print
SPY 800 will come with or without this. He’s a grifter conman. A disgrace to our country. A liar and a cheat. A fraud. Vote him out

A lot of regards here have puts on CRWV and on SPY cuz they think "CPI" will be "cooked"
It’s essentially just the wheel, no? A fairly safe strategy, but it’s probably not the most capital efficient. Still has issues of needing to find more money for collateral as the stock rises (if you started this when SPY was at 600, you’d need \~60k for collateral. Now that SPY is at 770, would you have collected enough premium along the way to still be able to cover assignment?) Still has the potential for you to be holding the bag if we fall into correction territory, unless you plan on selling calls below your cost basis, but that means you might lose money on a trade if a rally blows through your strike.
Ah yes the genius who is currently losing to the buy and hold shares on SPY strategy
Can’t wait to buy SPY in the 200s in September during the AI crash and let my future generations dump bags on aliens 3000 years from now
You need to SPEAK in terms of SPY. We are too poor for SPX options.

Perseid meteor shower peaking tomorrow and solar eclipse, this might be the generational top for the next 200 years on SPY
Well... you can always make it back faster. Specifically with options. Wait for a volatile day in the market without too much haste. Wait on a guaranteed move in oil and do the opposite of what oil does. If oil is going to move 4 dollars on open ( watch the futures at night and into the morning) look at / es and / cl. Do not gamble on futures. You'll lose more. Just wait for the opportune moment to catch a 2% run up in spy 0dte options it will happen. You just need to watch amd wait and catch it. Buy otm puts or calls or both. If you're anticipating a big 2% move on SPY... then know that you've already confirmed NFP, FED RATES, and know that the market is waiting on anticipated moves . Tomorrow could be one of these days. Watch the tape at 0830 tomorrow morning on spy and oil and futures. Ensure you're watching all at the same time on 1 screen. Along with your news feed from brokerage and iran headlines on an auto refresh on your page with Bloomberg radio in your ear. You'll see a sharp move in either direction after the rates drop their data. You'll know what to do when the market moves out of its your day. Don't revenge trade. Be wise in your moves. Good luck kehd
When SPY crashes 60% from this bubble pop, what are you going to buy?
+3% SPY or else >!I'm gay !<
The year is 2042 SPY is barcoding between 770 and 774
We might limit down tomorrow on SPY
Imagine if buffet threw all his cash on SPY 0dte before the scam run up last week
SPY -4% locked in tomorrow
The logical thing is for CPI to send us back to last week's levels, so probably SPY will rocket to ATH

| Period | SPY | RSP | Difference (RSP - SPY) | | 6 Months | +11.95% | +9.36% | -2.60% | | YTD | +13.60% | +16.15% | +2.55% | | 1 Year | +22.52% | +22.88% | +0.36% | | 2 Years | +47.99% | +36.84% | -11.16% | | 5 Years | +86.24% | +55.31% | -30.94% | Using total return performance comparisons including dividends with SPY and RSP, the equal-weight S&P 500 has outperformed the cap-weighted version YTD. However, over a period of more than two years, SPY has dramatically outperformed RSP due to the dominance of mega-cap stocks. It's also important to note that RSP has a higher expense ratio (0.20% vs 0.09%) and has historically underperformed during periods of concentrated tech stocks. The key question going forward is whether this represents a sustainable regime shift or a temporary rotation.
If you have SPY options expiring tomorrow you're a psychopath and you need help with your compulsory behavior

SPY ATH tomorrow. Inverse with confidence!
Why the fuck are SPY leap spreads so big??
A good, cooked perfectly CPI, will show 🍊 economy is doing great and inflation is slowing down, so SPY will probably go over 800 in next couple of days. Of course I am seated across this with puts but I will sell at open and load up on calls if the read is 🍊 favorable
If every company was like CRWV, SPY 800 woul dhave been 6 months ago😤
up or down on SPY tomorrow...need to make back the 1800 i lost today
SPY 780+ USO under 120 EOW or I’m fucked Even if it happens, I’ll probabaly panic sell at a loss at open before my positions are profitable
SPY is so shit, only up like 22% 1year. What a trash index. KOSPI is up 99%, now that's real 'investment'!
# tmrw we drill 3%, SPY -10% thursday, then a bomb drops on Eye-ran -20%. # anyway SPY new ATH on Friday cuz 'NEW scheduled peace talks thanks to Pakistan' - Axios # LMAO 🤌
CPI report should cause some SPY movement. 0dte call locked in.
Feels like everything possible is priced in. Haven't seen a -5% SPY day in a long time.
I bought 10 SPY 770 puts that expire tomorrow just before the close today. I guess we’ll see which one of us is the degenerate in the morning 😜
I can justify SPY going up and down bigly tomorrow due to manipulation…therefore markets will be closed
Welp SPY looks read to dump but mango could make an announcement any second, as per usual

Quietly watching [$SPY](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/spy?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=SPY&utm_content=template_1786485296235_668tpb). The implied move is the first thing I look at. Not advice, just where I tend to.
Captains log. Star date 8112026.3. SPY has chopped in a $2 range for 5 days straight. Morale is low amongst most of junior level crew. Senior officers are just in shares and don’t care. They have begun averaging into long dated SPY leaps. The retarded crewman have started hallucinating and buying penny stocks. The science officer recommends treatment with standard big booty Latina’s. We are approaching their home world soon and this should serve as a nice reprieve for the crew.
Buy EOY 400 puts on SPY
Remember folks, you survived the Great BER Market of August 11, 2026. Casualties are piling up and margin is calling on the worst day since 1987, SPY down .32%. We now return you to your regular scheduled CPI rip to Spy $780 tomorrow morning.
Stop buying SPY and listen to boomers
When you’re a smart day trader like me who can make 13% in a day, you laugh at the normies who get excited about 13% \*annual\* SPY gains. /s
