SPY

Masala-Papad

Retail counts to 5% of total stock market. If every retail will team up and buy at the same time, SPY will go from $679 to $670, because the big institutions will start selling it.

Significant_Speed854

The news would be bullish. SPY +2%

RunsaberSR

Hell yeah. I've been in since '14. I learned i suck at long dated options and am great at 0-3dte SPX/SPY. I can also hold shares for a long time. Most of what people say online is noise (or bots). Good luck for the future.

curtmaster22

That Put is too low for SPY, it won't go that low. 

Specialist_Exam_8433

Works until it doesn't. Different when SPY is at 630 vs 680

You must not remember how SPY was green as Lebanon was bombed within minutes to hours of ceasefire announcement

You want cancer research? Is t that just a biotech ETF? If you just don’t want to feel bad.about your investments, there is Vegan Funt Clinate Change a etf (vegn). Fron their website, they built a index that excludes: * companies that harm animals, ( animal testing, animal-derived products, as well as animals in sports or entertainment) * companies involved in fossil fuels and their use in energy production and also excludes companies involved in military and defense, as well as human rights abuses. https://veganetf.com Since 2020 it did 13.09% annually, SPY did 13.55%. So slightly behind. (Insert Past performance disclaimer here. ) https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio#analysisResults Disclaimer: I looked at it, I liked it, but I’ve decided to go absolutely crazy in my play money account. And there isn’t an index/mutual fund version that my retirement plan can invest in. Therefore I don’t own any.

Hi, I'm Ashim from MarketCrunch AI. I agree that sentiment is pretty beaten down for software, but the "sandbag and cut costs" playbook is getting tougher to execute for a sustained bounce. We're seeing more companies get dinged for weak forward guidance even after a beat, suggesting the market is looking past the immediate quarter. While AI efficiency is a common narrative, the actual impact on margins and growth needs to show up in the numbers, not just on the earnings call. That's the real hurdle for a "monster comeback." $SPY $QQQ

Clappindemcheekies

You can literally search SPY option ratio for next week. But on fidelity when I’m searching options it tells you the ratio.

Clappindemcheekies

For SPY options expiring next week (primarily the April 17, 2026 monthly expiration), the open interest put-call ratio is 3.88, indicating a heavily bearish sentiment as traders hold nearly four times as many puts as calls.

BeautifulAuthor9167

If $SPY is near your strike on Friday afternoon, close the trade. 2020 saw massive after hours moves that turned safe spreads into max losses by Monday morning.

ConfectionDry7881

There is only one right way of investing - 1. SPY and chill 2. zero DTE OTM calls Pick the right one or the left one 🚀 🌙

People think you need good news for market to go up. It doesnt. It just needs boomers to keep buying every week/month. Market naturally goes up, so SPY 700 is confirmed next week. This is financial advice.

SonOfLuigi

Bruh the black astronaut just asked how his 04/08 635 SPY puts did

pineapplekiwipen

now that SPY 700 is secured on monday let's think about when we'll get 800

Brilliant_Voice1126

You’re not reading for comprehension. The Juice that Berk had wasn’t matching the S&P, or outperforming it by a little. People who invested in the 70-80s from compounding from those big years became millionaires and saw numbers like 2000% if you stuck with him then. No one is on “stocks” looking for a “matches S&P” stock. That’s what SPY is for. The question relevant to BRK here is, are we ever going to see the magic again? Almost 30 years of data now suggest “no” is the answer.

13jfncjai31

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/physical-oil-prices-hit-record-highs-near-150-barrel-hormuz-crisis-worsens-2026-04-07/ Physical oil just hit 144/barrel, do you really think the market can ignore the price of energy at near ATH for the next 8 months? The market can pretend oil is under 100 all it wants but the fact of the matter is that factories run on oil not paper contract derivatives of oil. The reality of the most important commodity on planet earth upon which the entire economy depends on staying cheap having just jumped 2.5 fold can only be ignored for so long. Check back in Q2/3 and then we’ll see how SPY is doing. I’m more than willing to eat my words, I hope that I’m wrong

trader_dennis

why would they do this on SPY and not SPX

PooPooPointBoiz

Man, you remember like a year or a year and a half ago when news came out that buy-no-pay-later could be used for Chipotle burritos and shit? And everyone said that was a recession indicator? What happened man? I lost so much money back then going deep into SPY puts.

I think the war will continue SPY 900

hermeskino715

I feel like 🥭 is going to do the same 🇮🇷 deal Obama did only a lot worse. That's the best case scenario for SPY 700 Monday Anything other that, SPY 800

cripky

These iranian diplomats could get blown out of the sky after this meeting and SPY would still moon bigly next week

FarrisAT

The SPY was at $700 when 150 ships passed through in February, yes. Why would it jump to $750 when that returns?

Sweaty_Platypus69

SPY reclaims its ATH and then drills back down when people digest that the high oil price will be sticking around even come Q4. I.e. Earnings from companies will be squeezed.

ItzChiips

Less than SPY dude. Literally behind the overall market. I am up over 1000% in past 5 years by making sure I have cash for prime buying opportunities.

MarketCrunchAI

Totally agree with the sentiment on international diversification. I've been doing something similar, not quite 25-30% yet, but definitely increasing my exposure beyond just US large caps. Valuations here feel stretched, and while the US market has been incredible, it's hard to ignore the potential in other developed markets. My main concern is still currency volatility, especially with the dollar's recent strength, but I think the long-term benefits of diversification outweigh that risk for me $SPY $QQQ $VYMI

rwc5078

Just as I expected SPY down PLTR up

Brilliant_Voice1126

Cherry picking windows. 3 years Spy 66% to its 53%. One year 18% vs -7%. 10 years spy is about 15vs brk 13. 20 years they perform about the same. You can’t just pick the one favorable window. I prefer to look at BRK based on how it really delivered historically. SPY is going to be a pretty steady climber but BRK in the early years had some years with peak performance that blew SPY out of the water which is what biases it towards such seemingly huge gains over time. Those “big years” with > 50% returns happened in 83, 85, 88, 89, 95 and 1998. Since 1998 though their best year was 2013 at 33%. They’ve had a lot of good but also some sharply negative years. But that early juice hasn’t been seen in 30 years.

Charming_Hedgehog766

I see it on the chain. It’s certainly an institution or someone with that kind of $.. Butterfly spread is a great way to play the circumstances at hand if one believes SPY has reached a relief high this week. the 150k short at 535 is a really bold price target with ~20% in a bit over a month. I think collection of premium could indicate a hedge. ill come back to this post if it happens lol

How do you do this on SPY

#SPY to 700+ next week LMAO🤌

Flat-Resolution905

They could drop a nuke and oil will go up 1% while SPY stays flat Idk man, overall I bet my house that the war will continue, short term idk

banff_lover

No, they have underperformed SPY slightly in last 10 if we consider dividends and as of today. Look at SPY/BRK.B.

SPY 700 Monday morning.

$GOP etf has outperformed SPY quite a bit over the last 12 months. For obvious reasons, I’m sure. 

Spiritual_Taste_1253

SPY has lost its mind, it’s not reliable to make plays on anymore. Individual stocks are where it’s at. META, PLTR, and NBIS show that the market is still somewhat rational and can be predicted based on catalyst

Put in for some SPY 700C 5/15 because why the hell not. It'll probably hit.

ShittyUsernane1222

the year is 2050, the US is in its 2nd republic period, communist and an close ally of China. Earth is united under an socialist federation. The world is rebuilding from the first contact wars and ww3, war rationing is slowly ending. The leading superpower is the Peoples Republic of China which decisively defeated the reptilian and US (first republic) forces in the battle of Saturn and battle of Kuiper Belt, causing the US to sign a instrument of unconditional surrender and Reptilians to retreat to Cygnus system before capitulating unconditionally to China and signing an treaty of unconditional surrender at Kepler 440b. The PRC is allied with grey, mantids and regularly participates in galactic and inter dimensional peacekeeping operations and regularly supports socialist proxies in Kepler 452b, K2 72e, Kepler 22b and other planets. SPY has begun to recover to 100 dollars as US-Chinese joint ventures slowly stimulate the US economy in a joint rebuilding effort. New York, Maine, California, Oregon and other US states are slowly exiting the martial law period as biohazard and war cleanup accelerates. The world is slowly recovering from the short term war related damage caused by shaking off its parasites. Life may not be good, the world is in ruins of the last wars but growth and quality of life have improved and are improving rapidly. Life is becoming good, you went from shoveling biohazards and wearing Hazmat suits to enjoying a nice cozy quiet upper middle class lifestyle in less than 5 years, the flashbacks of the war remain lingering but fading.

wallstreetbets-ModTeam

Thanks for your submission! r/WallStreetBets is ultimately a community about making money through trading, and our conversations should shift around that. Politics are fundamentally intertwined with making money, and political actions almost always have an impact on financial markets. Still, we need to make sure that when we have these discussions, we're explicitly calling out the financial impacts of the politics we're discussing. Otherwise, the conversation can very easily veer off into flamewars and boring, unproductive, discussion. Here's an example of a political comment that doesn't offer any value: * "I hate this new green policy from the Biden administration. What a fucking idiot" Now compare it to this: * "I hate this new green policy from the Biden administration. It threatens the profit margins of oil companies because they will need to expand their OpEx. I have calls on Shell that are going to get decimated at open." The latter is significantly more interesting and offers a great jumping point into market related discussion. Put succinctly: If you choose to start or engage in arguments about libtards or Nazis instead of making fun of their bad SPY long then you're in the wrong place and we'll show you the door. If you're not sure if your content is political, it probably is, and there's probably a better way to post it without making things weird. --- All that being said, we are here to help. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to post to our community. We have to balance this with making the subreddit interesting for our readers.

Templar_Swamp_Stake

He’s gonna start some shit with Iran over the weekend and Monday SPY will go red. Midweek he’ll call another ceasefire and SPY will go green. Place your bets accordingly.

MissMatriarch

Just FYI: Some LARGE sell-orders on the SPY minutes before close.

Spiritual_Taste_1253

SPY is dead. It’s gone off the rails. Time to go back to scapling individual stocks

1UpUrBum

That was still in the dotcom crash. These are short term it only takes a day or 2 to wipe out large amounts. A 15% relief rally can be gone fast. Just do it yourself. Get a chart and put on a moving average envelope. For SOXX set it at 10 days and 10% range (noramlly6-7%). SPY is 10 and 3%. QQQ is 10 and 4%. See what happens. In hard selloffs it can go down more. But not for long.

Cav829

It just means more people are trading individual stocks than the SPY ETF.

Expensive-Big-8725

most of the individual stock volumes look pretty alright for the day but SPY and QQQ are measly - whats up with that?

Boring ass day. Talks this weekend will go well. Market will be green on Monday. BB will bomb Lebanon Monday after hours. Epstein hearing Tuesday won't do anything. SPY still at 680 and USO still around 120 by Friday.

Turns out when you dump 6 sectors to buy 1 sector SPY goes down

I stopped looking at SPY 3 hours ago, it’s exactly where it was earlier, to the cent.

You could pick any stock in the mag 7 and they were downbeaten. SPY was down 25%. Today it’s near ATH

SPY opened at 679 and -30 minutes before close it's still 679 🦀🦀🦀

Would be hilarious just SPY to end red .001% just to hold up the appearance of not being totally manipulated and reaching an insane amount of consecutive green days during a huge geopolitical crisis and energy supply disruptions

What a cherry picked number. One year ago was when Trump singlehandedly made the market collapse 20%. I can also cherrypick and say SPY is only up 4% from Feb 14 2025 to Mar 27 2026, which isn't a drastically different time period than Apr 2025 - Apr 2026.

rwc5078

Puts on SPY for me! And weekly calls on PLTR

JackfruitCrazy51

This is the wrong place to ask about Berkshire. The people posting on here consider 6 months to be a long-term hold. If you compare BRK to the S&P 500: 3 years SPY 5 years BRK 10 years SPY 20 years BRK 30 year BRK BRK shines during rough times

Just sell SPY*. Bear market rally. We go to 610 when in 3 weeks if strait keeps closed as no kerosene left to fly. And in 60 days where there is a 50% chip reduction on both Nvidia chips producing because lack of Asia hardware and RAM.
