Any sudden downward price motion is just SPY drilling for oil to get in on the action
It's a rebalancing act. The whole point is SPY and VT being a better place to be than QQQ during the chaos. While SPY will be hit by the declines of Mag 7, holders of SPY will not be locking in losses by selling leading companies to go on a garbage buying spree. SpaceX will only temporarily suck all the oxygen out of the room, the recovery in Mag7 positions should take place in short order.
> Despite what the people who seem to want a green SPY Monday are saying, there is not breaking news regarding a change in Iran's policy. given that a week ago they were attacking indian ships, and yesterday they let multiple indian ships with LNG go through without a problem, that claim is objectively false. there absolutely has been a change.
AND that index holder will have passively sold their profitable, growing Mag 7 holdings to raise capital for that new 6% stake. Yeah, I'm convinced enough to reduce QQQ in favor of more VT and SPY.
For SPY is my temple, i shall not want For Volume is my god, i shall not fear For J Pow is my lord and savior, i shall not 🧻 🙌
Tomorrow I am full porting my portfolio into 0DTE calls on SPY. The way I figure it, you either get rich quick or live long enough to see yourself become a pleb.
SPY is going down this summer, papa JPow out.
SPY down 5% from ATH and you’re on here crying.
Only reason it hasn't fallen more is market pricing in a swift TACO. Few more weeks is not gonna keep SPY at 660+
A bro will really look you in the eye, say 'no homo', and then explain that bitcoin is a bellweather for the SPY
the problem with the melt-up thesis is it assumes large players need weeks to exit. they dont. institutional desking has gotten way faster since 2020 and dark pool volume on SPY has been running above 45% of total, which means the big exits can happen without moving the tape much at all until its too late. im sitting on about 60% cash rn (~$180k) and what keeps bugging me is the high yield spread. its been widening steadily since january and last time that happend while equties were still grinding up was late 2018. that took about 6 weeks before SPY followed it down.
Hamas has asked that Iran chill out. Hahahaha. SPY 700 EoM

The monkey's paw curls SPY is 700 A cup of coffee is also $700, but Wendy's doesn't take dollars anymore. You have to pay for it in yuan.
Retards here watch 5min charts on SPY and then yell V or bulls fukt lol
The mass bullishness on oil and bearishness on SPY tells me to inverse WSB.
SPY sideways 6 months and only 4.5% from ATH while the biggest Regard ever started a War and Oil prices surged, inflation going higher, jobs in negative territory, zero growth. Deep Seek news came out the everything tanked. WTF!! Who is running the shit show? Who’s behind the curtain? Land of OZ
SPY is going to 630 tomorrow
Agreed. Likely to see Crude at $135+ and market slide 7% by Mon/Tue. I am long UCO and short SPY.
I think SPY will reach 715 this week
I think SPY hits 1000 by 2030
both sides want a deal, we’re only one twitter post away from SPY 700

Where did I say I am short SPY or have puts exactly? Holding a cash position is not the same as shorting an index.
If it's not obvious to you, Iran is in control of the oil prices right now. That is the entire point, and why I see a continued run of oil equities like OXY, and a continued slide of SPY.
Hey, your past "buying high and selling low" strategy is a pitfall that 99% of beginners fall into, and I myself made it repeatedly in my first 10 years. Now you're 30, have money in your account, and plan to hold the S&P 500 (SPX/VOO/SPY) long-term, which is one of the smartest decisions you've ever made. But your question about "how to find the bottom or the right time to buy" has a harsh answer—you can't, I can't, and 99.9% of professionals can't either. This isn't me trying to discourage you; it's what the market has taught me through the bloody realities of the past 30 years.
I’m in Vegas and it is absolutely packed. The economy is booming! Calls it is! SPY opens at 680 on Monday easily.
Let's ball. SPY 700C 1 month out at open.
Pick any stock when SPY hits $650. Start a small position. Hold it for 5 years. Enjoy the gains
SPY is not going to $700 It's literally impossible at this stage. And here's my assessment: lines also go down. Sorry, but it's over.
2 weeks ago, I explicitly stated that anyone who thought that SPY wasn't going down to 650-670 was delusional. I actually could not believe that it took 1 week longer than right away then for it to happen. I get that there needed to be 'confirmation' on the Strait of Hormuz being closed as reason for the delay, but that should've been known right away. This whole market was a sham going back to August. It was being manipulated by insiders to keep his poll numbers up so he could brag about 401ks. That's why it kept ranging for 5 months before this. Tariffs alone were a failure- never should've happened. We should've been in a great recession last April or May until "the tweet". Whatever they are trying to do is not working. 95% cash ready to be deployed, and NO, I won't buy any bulltraps until the Strait of Hormuz is 100% opened.
I was trying to scream out my car “SPY CALLS” lol
There is nothing but escalation unless the US capitulates. I want this over so we can all just tap about SPY again.
Hey man! I’d like to ask you this: I don’t have big capital available to put up for trading yet and I do not do daily trading (I work at a bank during the day lol) but I’ve been reading tons for the last months both for preparation for my licensing exams and on my own about everything options and markets. I guess I could be considered a swing trader for now, so far I’ve only used very simple directional puts or calls. I do not like risking capital or putting up capital for margin to be able to get into more advanced strategies like spreads and selling options. From your experience, did you notice a significant difference going from simple directional long plays to trading stuff like condors/buttetflies/spreads? For now I just cannot imagine myself putting up like 60,000$ for selling a single option contract on SPY, nor does it even look attractive to me at this point. Would love to hear your thoughts! Cheers!
SPY rsi 14 and only down-4.5% from ATH? 🤔
I bought 1DTE SPY puts end of day Thursday. It opened down 0.5%, and somehow I was down money....
Iran could swear loyalty to the US and offer free oil forever. SPY will still not jump 5%.
How many times is Venom17645 going to spam SPY 700
SPY has already surpassed 700 in the dark pools..
RIP https://preview.redd.it/ir8qd7ylh4pg1.jpeg?width=1088&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0f16135ab3e56634e6c5fb2e784b8276c33e596 SPY sub 600 comfirmed
They are going to fuck the bulls in the ass on Monday when bulls see oil dumping and think that means SPY will pump, and then they dump SPY too

I have been beating SPY since october, where else would you put the money other than gold which has already mooned?
SPY already hit 700 in the dark pools on Friday but they hide it from retail until the rebalance. Once SPY does the 4am Monday rebalance and futures start catching up, price discovery is gonna send this thing straight past ATH before the market even opens. 700 is basically support now. If you’re a bear at this point I genuinely don’t know how you recover from that level of financial and emotional damage.
What’s more likely to happen first? 600 SPY or 700 SPY
If SPY closes down next week, I’m prepared to say the n word
Well, NYtimes is welcome to short oil on Monday open, then post screenshots here. Meanwhile in real world, someone is Iran is apparently fond of SPY puts and oil calls. https://preview.redd.it/ro8dqiiyc4pg1.png?width=1155&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2c9c35bde04d2ac5c1f3e85c33afc8d8830ad12
I pay no attention to the news but SPY won’t be green on Monday after being red for so many days This is the best way to trade Pure vibes
Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw SPY vs SPY soon
SPY is never going to $700. Sorry m8 but it's over.
Wouldn't be surprised if we saw SPY at $700 on Monday.
What would yall do if we opened at SPY $680
Gotta pay for my degenerate SPY put addiction somehow. 🤷
>i hold SPY so in theory a spacex inclusion means i'd automatically own some. No, it means you will have to buy some at any price to own it.
Just realized this war is to cover up shit economy and bubble. They pretend war is big issue so when it clears market goes up. Without war SPY 620 by April. With war, 620 staved off until later this year.
If you're going to do options do it as a stock replacement strategy and only do calls. For example, you could buy reasonably priced out of the money 2 year call LEAPS on SPY strategically when the market is down 10% betting on a rebound. But this ODTE stuff is just ridiculous to me and will lead to bankruptcy.
It's funny to me that people in this post think that oil can dump and equities can pump at this point based on soundbytes. Functionally, a miniscule amount of oil is passing through Hormuz. Whether this is because Iran is saying the United States, Israel and their allies are not allowed, or whether it's because the IRGC is operating independently of the civilian government, or whether it's because insurers won't insure the ships and crews won't risk their lives, or whether it's because Iran has indeed laid mines, or whether it's a combination, it's difficult to tell. The point is, oil is not getting out. Because oil is not getting out, there is a daily deficit of ~20,000,000 barrels not meeting global demand. We are above 250,000,000 barrels of deficit right now. This is also leading to medium term structural shortages. Logistics flows are not restorable in a few days or even weeks. Wells are being shut down. This is going to take months to untangle, and months would be if the war stopped tomorrow and oil flows were fully restored. Price is an intersection of supply and demand. As much as people on here who have calls on SPY want that not to be the case. Becausd of the medium term structural shortages, oil will only go up in the short term, and it won't dump overnight even with good news.
If you are a SPY trader then you should know that the price action is principally driven by the hedging flows of the SPX option position held by hedgers (accounts which clear as type: "market maker", for our purposes). I don't say this to market ourselves but VS3D by VolSignals (yes it's my firm- can I even mention my own service/platform?) is designed by two of us (Matt and I) who actually spent our careers market making for large index vol trading firms. The software/platform is then built by two developers who built firm-wide analytics supporting the market making arm of one of the largest firms in the industry. We are new(er) to the space, but ultimately we are here because every entity on your list above sells something which they do not understand nor model correctly
The bigger drop is when I wake and baked and bought some SPY 0DTE calls, realized they were shit, and bought another one accidentally instead of selling the ones I originally bought and didn’t realize until they expired. Also no joke.
Similar but with QQQ. Im sure you could outperform SPY by selling CC...on SPY
I see I thought trader make a few buck hedging 5% drops like a perpetual SPY puts Also did u manage to reposition the Iran war drop ? If yes how would u hedge it ? simple correlation hedge ? USO - airlines ?
Jesus, Not to sell courses, to sell monthly memberships that vary from $50 to $415 per month (his real income).

For the cost of his lowest membership w/ 3 trading session per month, "Spy Day Trading" offers everyday, I have not taken Spy Day Trading offers where he trades SPY and SPX options, but he seems to show results on YT that are impressive. What bothers me the most is Erik uses his Military Service as an advertisement. When I took my oath it meant I was to protect the people of the USA not use it as advertising!

privatize the profits socialize the costs my SPY 1000 calls need to print
Depends on whether SPY is a better investment than other places.
1. Treasury Bond / ETF: SGOV 2. Gold / ETF: SGOL 3. S&P 500 / ETF: SPY 4. Ex-US World / ETF: VEU I would go into Treasury Bonds for now and wait till we reached the bottom with the Iran fiasco.
Everything's going to be fine I assure you SPY will not break 600 this year
And since the war started, VXUS has been dropping more than twice as much as SPY.
first, i wouldn't arbitrarily pick an underlying i want to trade. in this context, why SPY? what edge do you think you have there? think first about the market effect then worry about the options stuff. for starting tips, check out the posts below: [https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/1gejy0q/trading\_options\_for\_a\_living/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/1gejy0q/trading_options_for_a_living/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/1c3hgfh/stop\_wandering\_aimlessly/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/1c3hgfh/stop_wandering_aimlessly/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/zfjut1/mit\_free\_courses\_investing\_and\_statistics/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/zfjut1/mit_free_courses_investing_and_statistics/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
SPY is like 3% off ATH. Wait until the reality kicks in.
Buffett put it well: "Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you're doing." An investor with genuine conviction in a handful of deeply researched businesses doesn't need to dilute returns with a basket of 500 names they've never analyzed. SPY is a great product for people who don't want to do the work. But for investors willing to understand a business inside and out, concentration in high-conviction positions has historically been the better path.
GEXstream is all I use. And literally just using NDX. To trade SPY.
As a results of the actions of Donald Trump, the American economy will suffer devastating consequences. An economy that was already fragile and headed towards recession as now had its fate sealed. A recession much greater than and much more catastrophic than the 08 recession is now a 100% guarantee, thanks to Israel, Netanyahu, and Trump. Inflation which was already very high to begin will soar to unprecedented levels rapidly (it already has- notice it cost about 35% more to fill up your car this week?) That being said, I've sold all 15 of my stock positions last week (when Trumped made false claims of a short term war to pump up the market), and bought multiple puts. Will be purchasing substantially more SPY and QQQ puts this week/ selling calls, increase gold & silver exposure and increase BTC holdings. That being said, I highly advise against in going on long on US markets at this time.
I want to get started with trading SPY. Currently have 5-10k to trade with, but not on a margin account. Want to start with a cash one first. Anything you experienced as a newbie that have been valuable lessons you would like to share? Or point to any materials that have helped you to learn a lot?
SPY is a majority of my holdings. Every day I automatically invest $100 in to SPY. Trite advice is right advice still. Time in the market bears timing the market. I still pick my individual stocks and do special options strategy at the margin. But no way in hell am I putting a majority of my net worth in to options strategies.
See that’s the thing SPY/SPX is simultaneously the one egg in the basket and diversified.
I have never trusted this phuckin administration. On mid February 2025 I liquidated my whole IRA + emergency funds + mother funds that I managed. That’s a crap load of cash btw. I started selling CSP’s at delta <20 on SPY and GLD, and more recently on XLE. Many around me were laughing about my “overreactionary” approach. Let’s see who starts laughing now
Wow you made money trading over a two month period!?? Holy shit SPY must be a bad investment!! Talk to me when you beat the market with your system on a risk adjusted basis for 10+ years. Then maybe I'll give a shit. Until then, SPY is a much better investment that I can add too at any time and sleep well at night.
It’s literally just a crypto market for gambling. It would be like trading an NFT of a picture of SPY 650 and thinking it has an effect on actual markets.
Keep in mind SPY is not so diversified anymore it’s heavily weighted toward the large tech companies. I’m not saying it’s a bad investment at all but the other responders statement isn’t as accurate as it once was. SPY is the benchmark for the market and remains a solid choice. However if there is a big drawdown in tech SPY will get wrecked just not as bad as nasdaq. OP like others have said, depends on when you need the money, how aggressive you want to be, and can you stomach a downturn for say 2-3 years probably a worst case scenario. Think someone said SPY 50% then hold 50% in HYSA or Bond fund if you’re gonna need the money in 3-5 years. That’s probably a bit too conservative if you don’t need the money right away. Just going to throw out an alternative you can look at target date funds. They will diversify you better based on your target retirement age, so set it and forget it. These are low cost. All things considered these are fairly conservative as well. The pro is if there is a pull back you won’t be hit as hard to the downside. If you have other investments and this is “just cash” sitting look into a money market or HYSA. That’s where I store my cash. I think you can get about 3.75% on the low end and it’s safe from any draw down.
Dave “contrarian cuck” Hunter said the SPY violent melt up coming after this war will make the post-Liberation Day melt up from last year pale in comparison
I usually buy 0 DTE SPY options between 9:30 and 10:30. How do I know whether to buy uppies or downies?
50 % SPY or other Stock-ETF 50 % in high yield Account or other safe investments Age 61 is way too old for a 100 % Stock Portfolio (unless you dont need the money for retirement)
Right, I've been buying 100 SPY shares/week for the last 5 weeks. Not sure how long I can sustain this buying rate. Would love to be able to do that until the summer. My future self will thank me.
Pull that money out, and put it in a HYSA immediately. Don't listen to anyone telling you to put it in SPY or some ETF. Money that you may need within 24 months should not be invested in the stock market. Also, if you can't stomach some volatility, don't get anywhere near financial assets. No shame in it.
Buy SPY puts as a collar against an imminent correction.
