I think now is a good time for me to buy SPY as a Canadian
SPX and XSP settle to cash, not shares, correct? SPY is an ETF, XSP isn't.
Remember SPY dropped like a rock when the first tarrif was added for Canada. It's not something SPY even flinch now, CALLS are still the play.
You can trade SPY contracts for a few bucks. Recheck your first sentence first.
And how much more would you have made just parking it in something like SPY or VOO?
1. he bought it during market hours. 2. he can't cancel it , it rides and he get's to see where it's at Monday morning. What /ES futures before open -- Will give a good idea where SPY will be .
SPY just has to touch $667.5 (that's only 50c away from its final price today), and these will be up 30%. Will be close to 3x on them if SPY crosses $670 for a bit. I think both scenarios are highly probable given the biggest options expiration is done for August.
Theta Decay unless SPY goes above 767.75 (breakeven for $1.75), winning chances are less ! I really doubt winning ! Let us see.

$0.35, not $35. SPY doesn't even move that much per day. He'd never recover his contract the second he executed it
I have a sizable position in the Schwab Fundamental Index funds, which *do* take almost all stocks in a category and then weight them very differently. The net result is very value tilted and moderately small tilted. They’re extremely well diversified and are effectively “indirect smart beta” by their very nature. FNDX, their closest equivalent to SPY, has performed better than most of the funds you listed, hitting $1242 in your experiment in an era infamously bad for value and for smaller stocks. I’m continuing to hold, hoping that a rotation is due (I’ve been saying that for awhile…) but in the meantime I think the results have been very respectable for having a heavy value tilt in an era where value has been pummeled.
Take a break. SPY goes up but it feels like nothing is back to ATH so it’s confusing
bring back PDT if it means SPY can move more than $3 during trading hours
SPY is going to gap up on Monday isn’t it
VOO, SPY, QQQ and keep adding your salary.
AH is fine, prices lifted up a bit. SPY right at $767
Can't trust SPY since it got infected with Tech stocks
$3.83/contract now today, so better than yesterday. You got these for a heck of a price. Even if VIX jumps a lot on a small self off, I could see these going above your break even. On the other hand - you only need SPY to jump 1.7% over the next two and half weeks, which is extremely probable. Still feeling really good about these.
We closed SPY for the week at 767 after yesterday’s dump? Yeah low 770s Monday.
SPY $400p about to print 🥰
Year to date youre up less than 3%. Just stick to $SPY or $VOO. You clearly cant do this right. Underperforming being lazy by 9%
Yeah, recommending SPY because the options are liquid is different from recommending it for covered calls in a small account. If you want to sell covered calls, find something you can afford to own 100 shares of and would actually be comfortable holding. Then check the option volume and bid-ask spread before doing anything. A cheap stock with high premiums can still lose way more than the calls bring in.
Throw it all on a single SPY 0dte.
What happened AH? Just checked my phone and saw SPY climbing after hours.
SPY really waited to crush everyone's calls before mooning,gotta respect the disrespect!

SPY opening at 767 then plummeting Monday?
Straight SPY market weight capped is, in its own way, already incorporating momentum, as the fastest growing companies/stocks will take up more and more of the index. The argument to go equal weight is to increase diversification, not to increase gains. They also aren’t all the same baskets of stocks. MTUM and QUAL aren’t S&P, they are MSCI USA which includes medium caps. Also, they do not hold all 500 S&P companies, they hold the ones that align with whatever their goal is. ie: if RPV doesn’t believe MSFT is value, it may not hold any MSFT.
SPY +5% by AH close
Where are the people saying SPY is opening $755?
Hopefully SPY is back to feeling like itself and stops moving like a penny stock
They already own everything. You know Oligarchs make money on both sides? When the market is tanked in coordination, they buy puts. Typically in a flash crash, they know when to buy calls as well. This is not a pullback. SPY needs to touch 420, minimum.
Look at SPY ripping

Yes, let me jump on that 🌽 that is -28% 6MO, -46%1Y because of a 7% day Just in SPY over 6MO and doing nothing, you would be up a 40% differential
I buy 1dte puts or calls depending on the set up. At end of day like the last 10 or 15 minutes. I use 50 to 60% of my portfolio on 3 different companies. Then the next morning at open it will either immediately pump or start dropping like a rock.. Its either all puts or all calls.. I prefer Nvidia, apple, Microsoft, amazon or Google. Those are the top 5 included in SPY. I've had success just buying SPY this way too but have had much better success buying 3 of the 5 I mentioned.. worse case scenario you cut out the losers and hopefully score big with the winners

Put it all in SPY and don't touch it
SPY is still over 700. 🌽 is waking up. Bers are fucked. 🥰 Have a nice weekend 🤓
The mini index everyone points at doesnt help here. XSP is a tenth of the S&P index, but so is SPY, so one XSP contract is the same size as 100 SPY shares. Same 76k problem. NANOS is the one that actually shrinks it. Same index, multiplier is 1 instead of 100. So one contract is about one share of SPY instead of 100. Cash settled, so no shares ever. Catch is almost nobody trades it, so youll pay for that in the spread.
Put 75K in SPY and never touch that part again. Then gamble away the remaining 25K like you would've done with the 100K.
SPY 766 calls look mighty fine
Manifesting SPY to open at 770 on Monday

Thanks to the final 2 minute SPY dump, I was able to get out of my puts for next Friday, make $3 profit per call lol, and avoid tons of theta decay over the weekend. Now I’ll have to opportunity to watch those same options double on Monday morning

A 1% dump on SPY right now would be nice
Do I scalp my puts SPY, MAG7, HOOD for minimal profit? Or let it ride 🤔 over the weekend
it would be funny if SPY dumped 20% or more during afterhours
\> green candle on SPY peak ragebait would be if right as wsb is rotating into calls they rug it before theta the rest of day to prevent puts from print.
Yeah, fomo on a drive up is always going to screw with my head. I was able to grab a little when spy was going from 740 to 770 but that was just gravy, and I only took little chunks on the way up. I have trouble believing in all time highs being anything more than a bull trap. Then I miss out and decide ok, it's top, now i can buy. Luckily my stops are tight at those levels but man, I miss out on a lot of dip and rips because I stop out. Now in the churn it seems it gets a lot trickier. I give back a lot trading the chop. And every so often I get a bright idea that goes awry, but i need to focus on getting consistent with my entries. It seems like if I wait for confirmation I miss out on most movements up and end up getting stopped out. Now, I'm kinda torn between 0dte and 1-2 dte on SPY and NVDA. 0dte is brutal and unforgiving. I cannot put a stop wide enough because my entries are usually one or two candles too soon. And if I go too wide I'll lose too much, and if I'm too tight it will constantly stop out. When trying to wait on the second green candle closing over the 9 ema on the 5 minute chart, I often get in too late and get stopped out 1-2 dte is less volatile but that can lull me into a sense of , 'oh, it's safer'. Which is madness. It also takes a little more directional swing to make a profit which is rough in choppy days. Todays SPY candle for the whole day so far is only 3. NVDA is 4 but it is a higher percentage range which allows for more movement in the option price. So, today the NVDA price was falling on the 15 minute chart for three candles until puttered out in the 4th. It was riding the lower -2 deviation on the VWAP and usually bounces off there a little. The candles showed a resistance to selling and starting to consolidate on the 5 minute chart so I started waiting for the 9 ema to come into play and voila. it did reverse enough for me to catch .19-.32 of the move. But I entered one or two candles too soon and could have saved some stress by waiting another few minutes. But then I would have only caught .19 -.25 of the move. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell with specificity, what they use to enter a trade when trading options.
2 of the biggest companies in SPY are financial engineering companies (tesla and nvidia). bogleheads have something else coming for them

Not a bear but you know SPY is down 1.6% this week right? Someone with puts could easily have made money as long as they cash out at the appropriate time.
Can SPY put me out of my misery alredy
SPY goes red right now and I’ll never trade options again I swear
SPY, you and I both know you are tired from trying to stay above 765. Just lay down and take a nice afternoon nap.
My thoughts exactly, but I don’t expect the volume to come thru into closing. My thesis is more of spike in volume in the next hour pushes SPY to 764 range before bouncing back to 765 for OPEX
