Bull market is just broadening out. RSP the Equal weighted SPY is almost at ath's. Semis have been absolutely ripping, letting some air out of the balloon is much, much healthier than it exploding. That's what you are seeing. Watch earnings carefully however, if they disappoint I think we'll see a more substantiated downside.

Michael Burry, known to close friends as Ligma, was hit by a bus this afternoon while driving to visit his secret lover and CEO of SPY, Martin Supdog. Early analysis indicates he attempted to pivot his vehicle out of the way using witchcraft, shouting yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm not selling but was too late. Market analysts believe his fragile emotional state over the recent SPY short squeeze and his related paper losses were partially to blame. He appears to have lost it all. The sticky plunge protection team certainly did their job and made sure there was no time to short it. Later in the day an eye witness recorded Mr Burry saying Fap fap fap fap fap bagholder spotted! Guh sell oh my gourd I spilt my choccy milk. What will my Muslim wife think when I stopped doing no fap? I'm not fucking selling. Illuminati is watching. We're not sure what to make of this, but our reporting will continue. More on Boomer News at 6pm. This is not financial advice.
if thats the logic SPY would be 600 by now
I cant listen to Warsh can someone tell me whether or not to full port SPY calls or puts at open?
I mean when its obvious i guess. Like the move ur waiting for gets stalled all day and just opens where u wanted it idk. Been trading BB, FORD, and WMT lol so not anything crazy like SPY
SPY didnt pump at all from that META boost. The CEO of SPY would like a word with Zuck
Ok selling my MU bag and buying SPY puts when Warsh inevitably screws us all to make money back. Wish me luck.
Jokes aside, in simple terms options let you reserve the right to purchase or sell at a certain price (the "strike price") and are valid until their due date, after which they go poof. The closer to the due date they are, the less they're generally worth since the stock has less time to put them in the green. Generally one contract goes for 100 shares, so a $1 contract will cost $100. You don't pay the share price until you exercise, you only pay the "premium", the cost of the contract itself. So you'd ideally want puts at a strike price higher than the underlying, as those let you sell higher than market value. Calls, you'd want those to let you buy at a lower price. When your call is for a strike lower than the current underlying, or your put's strike higher than underlying, you're "in the money" since your contract already lets you buy or sell for better prices than market value. The further out of the money you are (i.e. the further your option's strike is away from being a profitable trade), the cheaper those options are. The closer to due they are, the less likely they are to break even, hence the value decay over time. Depending on how close the strike price is to the underlying, the more your contract's value shifts for each dollar the underlying changes, that's the delta. "Exercising" an option is doing the actual buying / selling at their strike price; I'd wager most here just trade the contracts without looking to exercise in most cases. When you see someone making crazy money with options, it's likely they bought far out of the money, before the underlying stock rose or fell to the point where their contract now gives better prices. E.g. SPY is at $700, you buy a call at strike $725 due a week later for some amount, say $1x100=$100. Then in the coming days, SPY goes up to $730 - suddenly that call is $5 in the money and worth a fuck ton more than you bought it for. In turn, if you're out of the money at the due date, the contract expires worthless.
MSFT being green means SPY is gonna be red. I don't write the rules, I just make them up
If the french are so concerned with the heat they should just drop a big block of ice into the ocean each year. That'll solve global warming once and for all. Anyways SPY +3% cause its America Week.
I dont care about bonds just dont sell SPY thanks
Could possibly be easier to buy ETF's of corn in 401Ks and other retirement accounts over actual BTC. I haven't checked mine though. I just allocate into VOO and SPY. \*shrug\*
SPY 700 today for just a moment plz
I would take another SPY fire sale. I fucked up the one from Friday
Sensed the weakness in SPY yesterday, went in on TSLA puts when spy was at 739 beginning of the day. SPY tanked to 733 and I had my puts open the whole time. Barely got some crumbs because TSLA didn't want to go down.
This is disappointing, SPY already tanking
Was thinking the same!! Any fall on SPY will be bought up. Free fall after the 4th though!
Looked like a SPY gap fill
Big day for SPY. Looking like we either have a -2% next or push towards ATH.
Why did we pump SPY too much yestetday, it's bloated now.
SPY stock, Nvidia at record revenue, MSFT on pullback ❌ Crazy btc conspiracist✅
I'm a little late to reply but check your positions. You don't owe $70k; you were assigned on a short put and forced to buy 100 shares of SPY at a $733 strike price. Once the broker sells those shares back to the market, your real account balance will settle. You're looking at the gross cost of the shares, not your net loss.
SPY goes down 0.1%: WSB thinks its the apocalypse SPY goes up 0.1%: WSB thinks Jesus has arrived Due to inverse wsb algos this leads to markets being theta hell as WSB is over-reactive to even the tiniest market movement.

SPY up .15%. What is this, a gain for ANTS?!?
This is the right instinct, and you've built by hand what a decent rules engine does under the hood. Reading SPY and QQQ posture before you size anything is exactly the part discretionary traders skip and then blame their stock picking for. One thing to try. Let the regime read decide not just how much you deploy but where you lean. Holding a lot of one theme right now isn't the same as being committed to it. The durable version re-scores as the evidence moves and rotates instead of staying married to the trade, so a name that was a top weight can shrink the week the posture cools. In my own backtesting, that willingness to move, to follow the read into different corners instead of just dialing exposure up and down, is what let it finish green in a year the market fell. Your four states are a great backbone for that. The next layer is letting them steer direction, not only throttle.
SPY back to all time high this week? let's fucking go
Bull market is back huh? SPY green despite yesterday +1,7%...
If SPY & QQQ reject the 20 day and roll over, would be a perfect topping pattern
wsb is undecided on wether or not to be bullish on SPY based on wsb sentiment statistics. today is therefore volatility hell and not the theta hell of yesterday.
I guess that is what a SPY +1.65% day feels like now
wsb is right now 54% bullish on SPY, lets bring it up to 90% bullish so that everyone can inverse wsb without uncertainty
the arb question is interesting but the divergence you're seeing is already closed - it happened at 3:59:59 on friday and resolved before the open. even if you caught it live, SPX options are cash settled and SPY options arent, so the hedge isnt as clean as it looks on paper. the basis trade only works if the spread is wide enough to cover two bid-asks and the execution risk, which it almost never is on a one-day blip like this.
Have noticed this a few times, particularly IWM/RUT. There is an arb there when you see it but it's rare and quickly resolved on SPY. The IWM/RUT one is usually corrected around open. For example if you notice the IWM gap is disproportionately larger than RUT/RTY you can usually expect a violent inventory correction/gap fill at open. You can write a script to monitor the fair value of ES in SPY terms, RTY in IWM terms. Just don't expect to make a living from it. But yeah you've basically noticed an inefficiency which is one component of edge and exactly the kinds of thing you should be noticing.

I see SPY at 58M volume for Monday so I dont see where you,re going with your 1/3. Also SPX volume is super normal, stop looking at QQQ and SPY as your benchmark for volume. Look at NDX and SPX
SPY so stuck that a 0.1% move looks like a massive breakout
SPY back to being allergic to red
Come on SPY, can we get another 2% today please
There has been quite a bit of backtesting on leveraged vs. unleveraged index funds that may be of interest. For the S&P500, I believe there is a general consensus that modest leverage (afaik around 1.5-1.6x for SPY) should generally result in higher returns. Obviously you need to be holding through drawdowns and past performance does not guarantee future success.
Bitcoin behaving that the talks are not going well. Futures behaving like Axios is about to conjure up atleast 20 brand new peace deals and SPY is opening at 750 tomorrow.
Isn't that what he said? Sell SPY calls and buy SPX futures
I want SPY at 750 when I wake up bull please take care
I also used to buy SPY. Until I discovered QQQ, QLD, and TQQQ. But nice profit. Would’ve loved to see 333.33 or 333.69 tho
Price target AMC $3 Price target WEN $10 My SPY 735 calls from last Friday went 500% today
Asking SPY to go up 3% to achieve ATH. Bold. Hope it happens though!
Ber r fuk. SPY and QQQ are in rock solid territory. War is resolved and oil prices are coming down rapidly. No bad news remaining.
GLW calls until Thursday and maybe a WEN yolo on Friday but I'll probably just end up playing SPY
I have a 100% failure rate with SPY 0dte puts and am willing to buy one tomorrow to pump the entire US stock market
Don’t worry about the covered part. Sell the calls, use the premiums to buy SPY 0DTE.
Yeah, its entertaining for sure. Like OP filling an entire wall of text while completely misunderstanding how SPY's price it determined. Its really amusing how someone can put so much effort into something with out understanding even the basics of an ETF let alone one tracking an Index.
Thanks, and I am trying to understand this, quite new to this. If $50 below price - is called "in the money" or "Out of the money" (OTM)? I too have approx. 134 SPY shares and trying to figure out how to trade option on it without sacrificing my shares. Thanks again for this information.
