So I’ve been seeing this a lot lately where I’ll look at this option flow/gamma for SPY options and compare large volume calls/puts and it’s funny that they had an extremely large volume of $760p for 9/11 (sick joke for the elites?) then way more call volume in the coming months. I’ve been tracking this for a while now and the market has been manipulated to follow these from what it seems like. Definitely not any insider trading going on.

Going to bed. Just a quick roadmap for three potential scenarios tomorrow in order of most likely to least likely. \#1 We see a premarket high of 772.30ish and get locked in the 769-773 range for the rest of the day \#2 We ride the elevator up slowly from premarket highs of 773 and test 776. If SPY breaks 776 then a retest of 779 will be in play either tonight or tomorrow \#3 We stay in this 770-771 overnight range and violently breakdown to 767 at open due to fear taking over. I believe this is unlikely as most of the news from the past week has been largely priced in. If this does do happen, then you can bet your ass SPY will cling to 762-767 range until Friday like a magnet. I have 50 contracts of 0DTE 771c. I am going to sell half my contracts at 774 and hold the rest for a gamble to 777-779. This IS gambling advice.

Ur argument is basically akin to saying that America in 50 years will no longer be a "democracy"(let's not get into semantics about what a democracy is and whether we actually have one or not).  The most powerful nations in the world have changed through the thousands of years humanity has existed. Ur argument is basically akin to saying that America will no longer be the world's most powerful nation in 50 years.  I doubt that. I'm Canadian and I think America will remain the world's most powerful country for the next 50 years for sure.

Ah, too early for analytics on SPY…

I bought a handful of Sept 18 $280 calls and about $6k worth of shares a little over a week ago with the hope they might get into the SPY for the record. That was my thesis. I could have waited on those calls in retrospect, but as of close Friday they were selling for twice what I paid for them. That said, just looking at previous additions into the SPY post rebalancing, you generally see a couple of nice green days the first trading days after the announcement. It likely gaps up tomorrow and closes above the open, whatever that is. It was trading at 265 after hours on Friday, so I wouldn't be surprised if it opened in that vicinity and hopefully closes around 275. I'd love to see it hit 300 by Wed, but that's probably the best case. I'll be closing out of both my shares and calls Wed at the latest. I may close it tomorrow if I don't like the price action as both of my positions should be profitable at any point tomorrow. I will close tomorrow if by some miracle it flirts with 300.

Mentions:#SPY

Imagine SPY being flat till Friday

Mentions:#SPY

this is the bet. Anything tracking the SPY can start buying as soon as it was announced Friday after close. I wouldn't be surprised if it popped 25-50 points Tue/Wed. I wouldn't hold much longer than that though. I'll be selling mine probably no later than Wednesday.

Absolutely move into the home and live there if it is a place you want to be. This is an investment and tax question. If you are gifted an asset and sell, you have a “carryover basis”, which means dad’s basis at the time of the gift. In contrast, inherited would step up basis to FMV at date of death. I believe you are receiving a gift so carryover basis. You will pay capital gains tax (short term if you own under a year, which is ordinary income rates) in the sale, gross proceeds less carryover basis, less closing costs, likely 6% between broker fees and real estate transfer taxes. You probably lose at least 40% between federal taxes, state taxes and closing costs. The better option is to move in for at least two years in order to qualify for $500,000 capital gain exclusion for a home you owned and lived in for two of the past five years. Take the $2,800 a month you pay in rent and invest that each month in an S&P 500 index EFT like VOO, SPY or IVV. You can regroup on this decision after two years.

Bro you sound SO hateful its insane. And I dont want to lose 30% of my portfolio, thats why id rather buy GOOGL and AMZN instead of ANTH, while catching enough upside to satisfy me.  Im the one who spelled out with logic how your argument of big tech falling due to liquidity into ANTH is self defeating.  Im still not sure what argument exactly you have not so successfully managed to prove wrong. I know you won't spell it out for me,  because that will make you self defeat again because you lack the logic to back yourself up, whereas i dont. In when I state that I personally am ok with catching a nice fat 30% gain on big tech IF ANTH were to have a strong rally(say double!), thats just what I'd like to do with MY portfolio. If that were to happen, id be beating SPY by a fair amount, and I personally am happy with that. I suspect this is the argument that you think you have "proven wrong." However this isn't an argument, its just my personal choice as to how I want to set up MY portfolio.  The only actual argument I made was that your claim of "GOOGL and AMZN are going to tank because of liquidity into ANTH" being completely and utterly false. That was my ONLY argument.  I suspect you rarely ever got called out for bad arguments in your life. What a shame. Average 105 IQ thinks he smart because he bullshits his way through debates and hopes the other person gets too confused to point out the flaws.

I don't really have time to research and explain why you're wrong, but Gemini does. "Tech Sector Exposure Breakdown Information Technology (IT) sector weights across S&P indexes align closely with the quoted estimates when tracking standard mega-cap metrics: * S&P 500 (SPY): The IT sector currently accounts for roughly 30–32% of the broad index. * S&P 100 (OEF): The top 100 mega-cap stocks hold an IT weight of approximately 44–45% (driven by heavy concentrations in semiconductors, software, and hardware). * Top 10 S&P 500 Holdings: The top 10 largest companies make up ~38% of the total S&P 500 market cap. Within that top 10 bucket alone, pure IT companies (Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Broadcom, etc.) account for ~24% of the S&P 500's total weight. The internal concentration of tech within just the top 10 holdings is therefore 24 / 38 = 63.1%, making the ~65% claim highly accurate. Exposure Math Verification Comparing the S&P 100 (45% tech) to the S&P 500 (30% tech) yields a ratio of 45 / 30 = 1.5. An investor in the S&P 100 is exactly 50% more exposed to the Information Technology sector than a broad S&P 500 investor. Historical Performance & Profit Verification (August 2020 – August 2026) To test the profit claim, we must evaluate the actual 6-year total returns (adjusted for dividends) of the S&P 500 against its mega-cap counterparts: * S&P 500 (SPY): Grew from roughly $321 to $767, representing a cumulative return of ~138%. * S&P 100 (OEF): The primary ETF for the top 100 stocks closely tracks mega-cap performance. Its cumulative return over the exact same period is roughly ~145%. * Nasdaq 100 (QQQ): Often used as a highly concentrated tech benchmark, it grew from ~$284 to ~$716, yielding a cumulative return of ~152%. To make exactly $10,000 in profit on a 138% return (SPY), an investor would have started with an initial principal of roughly $7,246 ($10,000 / 1.38). Applying that exact same $7,246 principal to the top-heavy indexes over the same six years yields the following: | Index | 6-Year Return | Profit on $7,246 Initial Investment | |---|---|---| | S&P 500 (SPY) | 138% | $10,000 | | S&P 100 (OEF) | 145% | $10,506 | | Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) | 152% | $11,013 | To generate $15,000 to $20,000 in profit from that same initial investment, a mega-cap index would have needed a 6-year cumulative return between 207% and 276%. While a pure Information Technology sector ETF (like XLK) achieved returns in that range, blended top-heavy portfolios did not. The remaining 35–55% of non-tech holdings in those top-tier indexes diluted the tech sector's hyper-growth. Final Verdict The quote is half-true. The foundational premise regarding the sector weights and the 50% relative increase in tech exposure is highly accurate. However, the conclusion regarding historical profit is mathematically flawed. The author falsely assumed that having 50% more tech exposure automatically translates to making 50% to 100% more total portfolio profit, severely exaggerating the actual historical outperformance of mega-cap indexes compared to the S&P 500." Despite the tech exposure (and risk) the outperformance isn't nearly as dramatic as you claim.
