I have SPY calls for Friday, hope we go upppppp :hammer:
Buy and DCA equal weighted SPY. Here's why: Yields are not high at all compared to historical data. At all. You're just used to historically low rates if you're under 35yo. Yields are doing nothing more than pricing in 3.2% inflation and a low risk free rate of return. Stock yields are still vastly higher than bond yields even when adjusted for risk. Youre still timing the market not buying SPY. SPY is the most traded equity and it's at a very low forward PE historically speaking. Most holdings are in SPY are at very low PEs. Sure an AI correction may dump the whole but over the long run equal weight will be better than any treasury yield. But you do you. I recommend you dont trade or manage any investments other than buy ETFs. Youre breaking like a dozen cardinal rules and aren't looking at actual data. Youre just reading "scary yields" and "oil at scary stuff levels."
I’m not sure that anyone trading less than 1000 share blocks is actually doing anything that has any impact regarding SPY.
the stock market is *not* the economy we'll be eating ramen three meals a day and SPY will be over $800 by end of year
Puts on SPY and QQQ all day.
Nice! Congrats. ; ) Do you ever buy options on QQQ or SPY?
"SPY 820 on PolyMarket, ber fuk lmao" - gullibulls
SPY 780 on hyperliquid lmfao bears
being canadian watching SPY rip higher while our currency bleeds out is a specific kind of pain. i bought spy in january thinking it was safe haven energy but now i'm just holding a bag that depreciates every time trump tweets. maybe i should have just bought a hockey stick and called it an alternative asset class. lmao we are cooked up here in the north.
I hope oil and yields keep going higher! We are at ATH, so clearly they move together! Let's hope we get oil at 200 and 10y at 10% so SPY can be at 1000
Q3-earnings time 10yr rate at 22 years high. AI companies revenue shrinking, as companies see not big profits from tokenized spending plan. Performance improvements doesn’t mean profits gain. Existing models good enough, no need new models, where is profit ? $SPY $QQQ see it
🚨 BREAKING: Microsoft and Adobe have just been vibe-coded and uploaded to the internet for FREE. 💀🤖 WELCOME TO ROUND 3 OF THE **SAASPOCALYPSE.** ☠️📉🔥 Meanwhile, oil is so expensive that filling up your car now requires a second mortgage. 🛢️⛽💸 Treasury bonds are paying so much interest that the U.S. government is about to start a GoFundMe to cover the coupon payments. 🇺🇸💵🤡 AI is eating software. Oil is eating consumers. Bond yields are eating valuations. And the Fed is sitting in the corner pretending everything is transitory. 🔥🔥🔥 **BULLISH. SPY 800 CALLS. ZERO HEDGES.

Bers hoping SPY 100 by the end of the week
Yeah, I'm semi-retired and I wouldn't want anything in QQQ if I'm in in SPY (which I am not). I'd recommend much more VXUS (or equivalent for your country).
Okay well explain to me why QQQ is out performing SPY
We've seen what bad AI sentiment does in june-july and on thursday. The things to hide in are: SPYD (Went up >1% thursday while SPY was down) SAAS stocks RSP TLT While getting out of anything high beta.

Is SPY being manipulated? Is there shit loads of volume going through dark pool orders? Honestly I have no idea what I’m talking about but it seems manipulated.

an ATH for SPY heading into midterms where a dem sweep is currently at 64% make the setup extremely tricky... can't long yet can't short...
Pretty blatantly obvious SPY moves the underlying stocks at this point when literally 90% of financial advisors that have been doing this for decades and used to be able to pick stocks now cant beat the SPY.
Hard to have thoughts without you also providing total trade volumes for the market and not just one etf. Also the ancient proverb comes to mind, does SPY move the underlying stocks or do the underlying stocks move SPY
SPY price in Dec 2019 was 1/3 of today’s.
volume on SPY doesn't tell the whole story though. SPY, SPX options, and ES futures should probably all be taken into consideration if you are going to draw any sort of conclusions
u/OP, 13x on 0DTE SPY is dope but keep a tight stop or a crummy day could wipe it all out. A Ferrari is a flash, but a modest $5k‑ETF that can survive the next crash might actually keep your deck higher in the long run. Yachting’s cool, just make sure the boat isn’t the only thing you’re trying to buy with those wild plays.
I don't time the market, I play the risk-reward game. You are risking a lot here for very limited upside, there has been almost 0 positive news since June. Mkt didn't go down but the multiple did (PE/fwd PE). In other words, mkt still "lost" even tho SPY is ath. Equal weight SPY is red, it's only the AI and semis that are keeping SPY up. Eventually AI will get into correction, this is my "bet". SPY should avg 7-10% per year? A bond gives me 5.5% risk-free. why tf would I own SPY here? makes no sense. Unless there is inflation, but are you sure SPY can outperform inflation as well? It's only natural than one start looking at bonds. I didn't buy bonds at 2-3% but now it seems like a good time even for someone that is far from retirement.
Actually insane how that was 4 years ago, wow. Felt like we'd never see SPY at 400 again.
Eh, spy did go down on the openai news and SPYD went up over a percent. Sure, you won't be ruined holding VOO/SPY, but SPYD and RSP will be the winner medium-term.
Even just VOO/SPY itself won't get hit that hard since funds just move into the non AI stuff in the index like Apple Wmt and the other defensives. VOO and chill retards stay winning
I’ve been using this for a long time. The success rate is very high, but it needs a big cash buffer. I don’t use it as the core of my portfolio though, it makes no sense that way. The premiums are pretty low. It works great, however, as a boost to the results of a regular short-volatility portfolio. In that case I’d make sure to sell them carefully and always keep a cash buffer in case volatility explodes. Personally I do it at 0.03–0.04 delta on SPY. You can also use VIX1D to check if the premiums are good enough. I let them expire. The catch is that losing trades happen very rarely, but when they do, they eat up the premium collected over several months of profits. It’s not a magic strategy for collecting free money. It just has a different risk distribution.
I buy and then it goes in the wrong direction everytime. I have no luck on SPY or and 0dte
It’s actually a great company. It’s not cool, it’s not an AI play (although AI should boost their productivity), not going to 10x next year, but it’s been an awesome investment. Up almost 36% over past year, 62% over past 5 years and since 2000, up 512%… (SPY 473% since 2000 for reference) They are well positioned to profit off of the aging baby boomers in the coming years.
I’m actually very surprised that LLMs aren’t smart enough to discern the difference between SPY and ES point scales.

McClintock made a million on SPY calls
Just did some intense research on SPY and it seems corrections only happen around April so we're still gucci till then
I can't wait to bet 1 dollar in 0dte SPY and actually win /s
It's true but you can also make substantially easy money on options if you know what you're doing. I own 40 shares of SPY and 400 shares of SCHD and I use the money that I make from options to buy more shares. I made $100 on SPY 0DTE calls by buying 10 right when it had that massive volume spike in the 11 o'clock hour, and I made $125 two days ago when it had that massive volume spike at 9:17 AM, both within the blink of an eye. I have over $42,000 invested in stocks, I just started investing last September, but I still like to trade options to get quick easy cash.
SPY will not be going to 800.
The calendar year loss for 2008 was -38-%, but the decline started in 2007, and the peak to trough drop was well over 50% for both the S&P and Nasdaq. Following the dotcom bust, Nasdaq dropped an eye popping 75% and SPY was down 49%. It took about 15 years to recover. “Lasting so long doesn’t really matter” is easy to say in theory, but since redditors shit their pants when the index drops a few percent, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the reality would be very different. Half the problem with these investing subs is a plurality, if not majority, of posters are in their 20s and have only been investing since COVID and think this market is normal. Sorry, but if you were in diapers or elementary school when the global economy melted down, you don’t really know what you’re talking about
>Trump says Ukraine should get a new president as he blames Zelenskyy for US diesel prices Why would Biden team up with Zelenskyy? They must both have oil calls and SPY puts. :derp:
so 🥭is realizing that oil situation is getting worse and worse and that he is fuk tries to make a deal with his good old friend Pootin and fucks over Ukraine did I get this right? we're beyond fucked then. It's smelling more desperate: bonds, oil and AI slowdown, holy imagine... triple shock to the mkt at once. anyway calls on Monday SPY800 eom
The problem is that "the earnings" are massively concentrated in four companies. MSFT, NVDA, META, and AAPL. Those four companies accounted for 300 pts of SPY gain last quarter, while the other 496 companies combined for -150pts. Because of the weighting of the index, 41% of new inflows go to the top 10(2%) companies. Nvidia in particular is so concentrated by the weighting mechanism that it alone gets new investment flow equal to the bottom 256(51.2%) of companies...combined. The result is two different S & P 500s in one. Since September 14, the cap weighted S & P 500 is up 2.32%, while the Equal Weighted S & P 500(RSP) is actually -.95% during that time. What you're looking at is a bear market in the broader market being hidden by weighting mechanisms. The top few companies feast, while all the other companies are starved and most are already in a correction...or even bear markets. When the few tech leaders turn down, the index will drop like a stone.
Sorry for your loss buddy. My partner passed away a few years back. I am in my late 30s and working full time in IT, based in UK. After I had her funeral, I told myself I need to focus and I started learning and d ay trade options once a day. It is not that complicated. I have been sorting out some things and one of my goals is to reach a certain amount to stop working full time before I lose my job. It is a matter of time with how it is going in the economy. You can see my post in the subreddit in my profile over last 20 weeks. I have been growing a small accout to encourage people that one trade a day, 2-5 times a week is enough to grow an account consistently. I only have 2 vids on my youtube channel from march if last year, will try put more. I don't do any complex strategies, and trade only ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc
Wearing my SPY 300 hat
Yeah seriously don't short ever. A literal monkey could profit on the long side but short you're trying to walk up a stream. It drives me nuts seeing people load up on Spy puts and then they're like "OOO I'ma make so much money", then you ask why and they're like "because SPY's overvalued". SPY's always "overvalued" now because everyone collectively realized that the government will just donate corporations money the moment the tiniest bad thing happens
The average Redditor is financially retarded. They really think ITOT, VTI, and SPY will be front run or rug pulled by trump in the trump accounts lmao bunch of fucking idiots
We are now just buying SPY believe it or not
Curious as to why trade SPY vs SPX with the 60/40 tax benefits?
I don't understand, are these sold puts? SPY closed at 778 and inched over 780 on Friday, how could puts get you money in this scenario?
Guys remember when SPY 700 was a meme? Look at how far we’ve come.
“How realistic is doubling an investment over 10–15 years without taking excessive risks?” This is a very realistic goal over that time frame, and with a number that big I’d start with at least 80% of that in an index fund like SPY or VOO. If you don’t own a house you live in now for sure use part of the rest for a down payment on a place you can afford. Both of those investments have proven great for me, as was a business.
Leaps to beat SPY, VIX to hedge the leaps, condors to fund the VIX. Just buy SPY and save the tokens….
The current stock market is an absolute joke and is solely being held up by those few companies that you named...once we start assigning TRUE valuations of money losing companies like OpenAI or Tesla, the SPY & QQQ will be in the 200s instead of the 700s

Yesterday was the lowest SPY volume since Christmas Eve 2019. Probably nothing to worry about..
It's a decent strategy that can probably help you outperform SPY in a bullrun but I don't see how this will prevent you from getting assfucked once the bear comes.
I too bought puts for SPY and Tesla for next week
Didnt sell my SPY calls before close. You guys think my calls will turn into a disappointment come Monday?
I'm pretty sure the anti-science admin of the U.S. are going to properly defend the people from the pneumonic plague from Russia....two countries known for being socially responsible for public health LOL. SPY 10/13 768p
that's how I place all my trades: I send an UBER to the NYSE each morning with a paper that says "SPY 700C" and in the evening he brings me back a box of money.
Puts on SPY and MU while loading up SPX at the end, you really went with the full WSB buffet huh
Ive finally discovered how to consistently keep my portfolio down .5% on the day when SPY is up .5% on the day
US: Uses ~4M barrels of diesel a day Produces ~5M barrels of diesel a day POTUS: buys diesel from Russia, that we don't need and can't store. What a fuckin retard SPY $900 next week
You don't need to convince me - I trade SPXW and SPY exclusively. SPXW for profit, SPY for gambling - either liquidity or ST losses against 1256s. I'm just saying it wasn't in the category of advice O.P. was seeking.
Basically all the ones that aren't target dates fund trying to balance risk for people planning to pull out soon. And lot of them stopped existing yes, they went bust lol. Leopold Aschenbrenner, Cathie Woods all that look amazing for a while and then fail, And yeah its around 90 percent, tons of sources on this. You'd already know if you actually read statistical papers instead of WSB degen stuff * SPIVA data shows 90% of active large-cap managers underperformed the S&P 500 over 15 years, rising to 92% of all domestic funds over 20 years. * SPY's 0.09% expense ratio versus roughly 10 times that for active funds creates a structural cost drag most managers never overcome. * Bill Miller's 15-consecutive-year streak of beating the S&P 500 ended with a 55% loss in 2008, showing long outperformance can reflect luck over skill.

I do buy some individual stocks too and see how I do, but I know logically it's not the smart decision. But I'm moving more into broad market funds as well since I am on track to retire in the next 10 or so years
I mean there are ways to make money with options but it’s not gonna work if you’re throwing $15k on 0DTE SPY calls cause fuck it
Some guy asked what SPY would be EOD so I waited until the end of the day and then I told him what it was
So is G M E holding up SPY?? Cause everything else is sucking
SPY/SPX is on the cusp of a major breakout. Trade accordingly comrades.
This is what SPY did during the dot-com bust. It was not a sudden crash. It was a build, a plateau, and then a looooooooooong decline. April 2003 was = to June 1997. https://preview.redd.it/i0mkne9nkiuh1.png?width=1574&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc227869fdcbee07916a8c5303aed0c9e26c178c
I have a SPY 770p expiring next friday and some MSFT puts expiring in 40 days along with a DIA put expiring in 2 weeks. Dow is getting into resistance
I really was just expecting the opposite behavior, and I REALLY hemorrhaged when SPY thought it would be cool to moon
congrats. 1.2m out of the wheel – if you’re serious about locking it, most people are converting 70‑80% into a low‑vol ETF like VTI or SPY and keeping the rest as a small spread or a short‑term synthetic to ride another flip. the trick is keep a cushion of cash – you never know when the pharma buzz will hit a new wave again.
I love fucking myself over all week playing SPY only to recoup my losses on SNDK Friday 0DTEs because this thing loves going down EOD
No, I actually looked at the Robinhood SPY graph and judged my opinions on there. Not bullshitting.
I think this is paper money! No one will put almost 200k in one day on SPY. GTFOOH.
Weird day. CRWD up. MU down. GOOG up. AAPL down. SPY up. We're still in the chop.
Seriously, WTF will put almost 200k on SPY for one day?
Am I seeing SPY volume right? :ahyes:
I totally see the commission bleed, but the real catch is the margin and liquidity crunch. In a real account you’ll need tens of thousands per contract to short a SPY call, so 100 contracts locks up \~2 million dollars. And the bid‑ask spread way narrows at 1:44 pm – you’ll often sell at 0.03 instead of 0.05. On top of that any 1–2% move in the last ten minutes (Fed, earnings, a big tweet) turns that 0.05 into a couple of dollars of loss per contract, wiping out the whole batch. The paper trade never shows that. The strategy is not “infinite money,” it’s “high‑win‑rate with catastrophic loss.”
Made $512 today. Holding SPY $787 puts expiring 10/13
Amazing how with almost no volume SPY pumps to 779 but now we have millions and it just stays at 778.50

So everyone is just comfortable holding SPY near ATHs while war isn’t stopped yet over the weekend????
Pressure from bonds and AI uncertainty that drove SPY higher again today? Sure, that's the story
I was bullish yesterday 😂 SPY is being a meanie to me
SPY can do the funniest shit in 30 seconds
Legit might just SPY & chill it. I don't like cash gang... tends to lose. Worst case spy drops like 1-2% and I rotate back into good shit. If it goes up I dont miss anything tho
