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. [https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/05/27/if-90-percent-of-professional-managers-cant-beat-the-sp-500-why-do-you-think-you-can/](https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/05/27/if-90-percent-of-professional-managers-cant-beat-the-sp-500-why-do-you-think-you-can/) [*https://newsjay.com/markets-news/why-most-actively-managed-funds-underperform-s-p-500-long-term.html*](https://newsjay.com/markets-news/why-most-actively-managed-funds-underperform-s-p-500-long-term.html) And I bet you I have a much, much larger portfolio than you kid lol. 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
SPY under 779 what a discount. I shall unload my whole trust fund buying it. I am human and this is natural!
780 SPY don’t be pussy, let’s go
Wow SPY at 779 when everything is hell in the world. What a steal. I will buy a million of them yes very good deal
Bro, how the fuck do I lose on goddamn stock plays, and retards here post their 0DTE SPX/SPY options and they flip 1000 bucks into 500k? HOW THE FUCK DO THEY STRING TOGETHER THAT MANY WINS, AND I CAN HARDLY STRING TOGETHER 2 WINS ON STOCKS???
If I played SPY rather than QQQ today I’d have been green 😭
Brooo i cannot believe this bullshit man 😭 I sold my 780 SPY calls man
This is what today's 1 min SPY chart is reminding me of. I think I'm gonna get some put lottos. https://preview.redd.it/n2ikyf9urhuh1.png?width=1570&format=png&auto=webp&s=5bd87870ee9c39b7c53314ea2e1bae1b567fa275
Watched my SPY calls go up and down all day just to pussy out sell them at breakeven. Fun day.
Should have listened here and bought SPY Monday 780 calls I'm a fkn loser
SPY can't go up anymore, he understands it's retarded. He feels like a plane who climbed twice attitude it could handle.

wtf is this shit low volume on SPY
Reddit told me Russia is out of artillery, out of fuel, out of resources. Why is Reddit always wrong? Anyways SPY 800 EOY
14 million volume on SPY.... The fuck is going on?
SPY will never see 777 again
Russia and U.S. diesel deal SPY 800 EOY not a joke
SPY 770P 10/13 for the dub, mark my words
DEEEEEEEZULLLLL is going to flow like water SPY to 900 EOY
What exactly did the algos think they read to cause them to immediately revert that pump? We gotta figure out what the key word they keep looking for is that is going to trigger them to 2%+ SPY
Remember when SPY used to go up wildly every day.
I like how SPY just did all that while VIX sat there and watched lmao.
I only wish I bought SPY instead of QQQ calls this morning
Someone tell the institutions to trade today, no SPY volume this afternoon.
I swear I thought the SPY was froze lol
Market roaring after the USS Abraham Lincoln pulled up to San Diego completely intact further destroying the sentiment that the IRGC is doing anything to stop the U.S. or keeping the Strait closed. Anyways now that the traitorous weasel hedge fund scum lords have been reaffirmed of US dominance, we’ll see SPY 800 by EOY.
God told me to full port 0dte SPY 780 calls right now to obtain the riches of heaven
bc prior to scam altman blowing it all up, SPY was lagging tech bc of small caps 😢
Why Soxl when SPY can defy reality 🤔
SPY 777 puts here, let’s go gambling!
Its only up from here SPY 800
Hey SPY let’s make it an even 780 to cap this week off
Very rare that NVDA is keeping SPY down smh once it gets going though it’s joever
Not only SPY volume but comment volume is low today.
Time to buy SPY calls mfers
Bro, why the fuck is the market so gay? I can buy into ANYTHING, and immediately the stock moves against me and I'm thousands in the hole. And then the stock then proceeds to spend the next hour grinding back to break even, and then it doesn't fucking do anything for the next hour. What the shit? Doesn't matter if it's SNDK/MU, SPY, NDVA/NVDL, AAPL, META. Doesn't fucking matter if it's stocks, options or 2-3x leveraged ETFs. Shit ALWAYS HAPPENS LIKE THIS
2 more hours, SPY gonna dump back to 775
SPY is literally going up on a couple thousand volume. what is even this
That 1M chart on SPY has one of the most consistent trend lines I’ve ever seen
Hope SPY dumps so I can take my crumbs and fuck off into the sunset.
When I’m in a do nothing competition and my opponent is SPY
It was pretty great swing trading SPY. Made money off calls and puts this week
what red day? SPY is pretty much all time high
SPY calls paid. Time for puts to print 🤑
Someone shoot me a reply when SPY goes below 777 thanks
Was kind of hoping SPY would continue its slow melt up
