Even if it flips blue, they're all fake as fuck. They won't do shit to 🥭 Expect SPY to be 1000 by 2028 because of this
The US stock market performance in the last year is all inflation. In my currency SPY had a negative year last year.
i already have 2 Jan 28 84C on SLV which took a good hit on Friday after the correction, i was thinking to sell but given this news i might hold them a little longer hoping for a bump. When the news came out i immediately thought "time for some SPY PUTs", on Monday i will do some more research
SPY down -50% MU up 50% banbet it.
Just beating the S&P 500 by any margin is tough enough. Ask any fund manager. So if the S&P 500 is the goal, I'd just buy SPY and become a better golfer. If I wanted to beat the S&P by a little, I'd buy SPY and sell 3-5 Delta calls on it. But if you want to beat the S&P by a decent amount, you have to take on a lot of risk -- and that's whether you're messing with options or not.

SPY is going past 700 next week The earnings momentum will see us end up around 720 before April
There will be a big rotation from SPY to small caps on Tuesday, MAG7 will be punished
I have a script set up to sell when it hits 5% profit as I don’t necessarily want to hold until expiration especially with early assignment risk for this SPY trade and not my more recent SPX trade. So if the market conditions hit, I would be closing this for 5.33 debit.
Phew, good thing SPY's safe!
Plot twist: Hulk is compensating. We see a very small Green Day. Like SPY .25%
I make that in 1 week trading SPY 0DTE using indicators scalping directional moves for 1-2 candles on a 1m chart.
I think this offering will come soon. You can go into your brokerage app and say "put deposits into a basket of shares weighted like the S&P500" and it gives you fractional shares in those weights with an option to go under the hood and make manual changes. You save on the (admittedly small) fees charged by ETF creators and the brokerage increases their payment for order flow enormously (because you are buying hundreds of different tickers instead of just one, and some of them will be less liquid than SPY itself). Everyone wins, except the people who make ETFs.
The difference put into drama: if you buy VOO, there are around 140 stocks in the index that you buy less of than you pay in fees (every year!); if you buy SPY, there are nearer 200 stocks in the index that you buy less of than you pay in fees. For any reasonably large portfolio, maybe $500,000 plus, you'd be foolish to buy an ETF when you could fairly easily buy all 500 stocks for next to nothing in commissions and no fees every year.
Buy a SPY share when it drops to 200 during this next crash.
Believe it or not SPY 800
What if market opens green. Everyone buys Then SPY fucking craters -2%
I’ve been selling covered calls weekly for about a year; been burned a few times. But prior to selling covered calls I was swing trading and got burnt far more frequently there. I find that if I put the strike price high enough that I’m only gaining .05 cents a share it prevents me from getting excited and selling earlier. It’s worked out for me. I’ve been selling covered calls on ETF’s (VT) recently; and just discovered that with SPY they can be sold with one day contracts- I haven’t tried that yet.
Only time SPY will hit $100 again, is after a 1:10 forward split 🔥
SPY 10,000 from inflation and printing in the next decade is far more likely than SPY 100.
**BREAKING NEWS** In case you regards need a reality check about SPY 100 in WW3 as a reminder: there hasn’t been a full scale war between nuclear powers in… wait a tick… oh all of human history. Thank you, this ad was sponsored by 🫵🏻 Retarded. Have a great weekend
SPY 100 would literally mean the end of the world. As in the 4 horsemen appearing. Not even a nuke going off would bring us down to 100.
inshallah SPY will reach 700
This sub's been eating well considering SPY just rips and rips
I bought deep OTM puts Friday at 345pm. With Iran, Powell investigation (messing with the Fed), ICE, Greenland, and countless other issues, I just couldn’t see us breaking above the ascending channel on SPX/SPY Tuesday.
I have $SPY and $QQQ puts, a fair amount of $GLD, I own shares of thales, Baesy, Rolls Royce, Rheinmettal and SAABY. So I can't help but think my portfolio is poised to have a good Monday. Thanks 🥭.
fuck, bought SPY calls to hold thru the weekend...
Any brokerage software has that info when you click on the ticker. But FYSA, $SPY is currently .0945% and $VOO is .03%. So roughly 3x higher. When it comes to things that involve numbers such as “ratios” try not to use subjective rhetoric like “slightly lower.” Math is math, feelings are feelings. What matters to you financially can only be decided by you.
The math has been done and posted if you care to search for it, but the difference is very small. SPY has the larger derivatives market if you want to trade options / sell covered calls and that sort of thing. Otherwise pick your favorite.
I am preparing myself for two days of 'market gonna tank on Tuesday' posts on reddit and then SPY to open green. Why? Because 95% of the time there's something that people think is going to be a big deal, the market shrugs and says "meh." And a report about something the EU *might* do is not going to be part of that 5%.
I read that $VOO has a slightly lower expense ratio than $SPY. How big of a difference is this really? Are the differences really big enough warrant one or the other?
SPY 600P for 01/31 Should put 200k in it 😂
VOOV is the value SPY
I’ll never forget the day I watched SPY rip up 8% intraday while rumors of Trump making a “trade deal” that day were circulating after the Tariff dump of 2025. Probably one of the most insane moves I’ve witnessed in real time followed by the COVID crash. BTFD you pussies

SPY 700 is a lie, it's more fake than santa's rally
SPY 700 and QQQ 630 in 2028 lmao
At least with sleepy joe, we would've been SPY 700 by now
Sold my SPY on Friday and bought international. How fuk am i?
Every day, the promise of "SPY 700" slips further and further away
So… my SPY puts for Tuesday are good hopefully
EU to suspend trade deal with the US. Theoretically, shouldn’t we all be buying SPY puts at open? How can it possibly go the other way?
My advise to bol is to start planning now. Start acting. If you have calls, shares, whatever bols do nowadays - just assume that you have a lot more money than you're comfortable with. If you think you're losing half, just go ahead and assume you're losing 80%. Spy will likely open around 350 on tuesday. Facts are facts. There will aggressive and coordinated bear raids from multiple angles and tons of panic selling. We might not even see a real V until august. The reality of all this is we'd only be losing about 9-14 months of of gains on SPY, becouse it really went up way more than it should have last year anyway.
Update: How my spread strategy has evolved + what happens when things go south I’ve been refining my options framework for a while now, and since a few people asked what I do when trades go bad, here’s a quick update. The basics are the same: defined-risk credit spreads on SPY, QQQ, and IWM. Entries around 35–45 DTE, exits near 50–70 % profit or about 14 DTE. I never hold to expiration, never roll for income, and never stack risk in the same direction. The biggest change is patience. I don’t chase fills anymore. I set GTC limit orders outside current price and let the trade come to me. If it doesn’t fill, that’s fine—no trade is better than a forced one. I’d rather collect credit on my terms. You’ll see both call and put spreads staged, but they’re independent, not an iron condor. I’ll take whichever side gets the move and cancel the other. Keeping buying power free gives me flexibility and breathing room. So what if things go south? If price drifts near my short strike, I wait—time decay still works in my favor. If I’m clearly wrong, I close the trade and take the defined loss. No rolling, no revenge trades, no doubling down. The focus now is staying mechanical, keeping risk small, and letting time and volatility do the heavy lifting. The goal isn’t to win every week—it’s to stay in the game long enough for probability to pay you.
My Jan 20 SPY puts looking JUICY
Im sorry to break it to you but SPY heading to $800 by EOY. Save this
That's why there are 1.5m+ options traded on IWM on a given day. It's like SPY or QQQ for true sickos.
Hold SPY futures long over the weekend seems like a really bad move now.
SPY 700 might be a meme after all
Last time SPY had dumped 10% after tarrifs and BTC lagged behind a few days before dumping also 10%
Good thing I bought x2 1/21 SPY 686P then.
Even at 5% Margin is still the absolute worst way to get leverage. **3x LETFs like UPRO will always offer a better interest rate** than your broker for an equivalent amount of leverage. Right now UPROs interest rate plus fees is around 4%. I won't get into the weeds of the math unless you want me to, but generally a US 3x LETF always beats broker Margin because they use the lowest interest rate for banks to get leverage and just tack on an ETF fee. Brokers are trying to make a profit on your borrowing so they will always be at least 1% up to 10% higher than the interest rate. There are even better strategies using futures or options, but for the sake of simplicity, LETFs are the best approach for 99% of people seeking passive leverage. **Portfolio construction** If you wanted to, for example, have 1.5x exposure to the S&P 500 you could do: * 75% SPY * 25% UPRO (3x SPY) **Disclosure** This is what I currently do. My effective world market exposure is something like 1.3x using LETFs.
Feb 2024 is roughly where I halved my position and put it into SPY to at least have some stable growth after the stress of being down. Left 6 figures on the table there 😂. Still happy with my position though
EU - US trade pact getting torpedoed. Tuesday SPY -3% Trade war with Europe started.
🥭 will speak at Davos this week. *Incoherent rambling* hottest economy in world history *snorts* Gyna paying tarriffs, big beautiful tarriffs *wet farts his diapers* I received the Peace Nobel prize for stopping so much wars *confusingly looks for his burger order button, forgetting he's not in the Oval Office* anyway we need to seize Switzerland and all the gold vaults for strategic reasons. *SPY crashes 15%* THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Glad I am not hold g any SPY calls over the long weekend. Just SLV and IBRX here
when are getting a SPY stock split?
Remember when 🥭 threatened Canada and then they capitulated? Remember when 🥭 threatened China and then we bought TikTok and made a deal? Remember when 🥭 threatened democrats ring the shutdown and they signed the bill? Do you see the trend? SPY 700 eow
$VOO / $SPY / $IVV and similar ETFs all hold the same securities (stocks) found in the S&P. A lot of words to say “yes.” Haha
What regard lost 250k in 2025?!?! You could have withdrawn 50k for cocaine and the rest on SPY and you’d have been ahead.
##Tuesday Prediction: ##SPY -3% ##VIX +60% ##CVNA +5% ##Quantum +2%
Who gives a shit about SPY.
I mean what do people think the rally from April SPY 490 to SPY 700 was about? Tariff threats do not have any impact on the market due to the TACO trade
If we legit go up on SPY more than 1% off these tariffs im gonna try to find that Men In Black memory eraser so I can just forget everything, look at the charts and say "bullish" instead of thinking its an orchestrated method of deteriorating the U.S. economy under the guise of "Pride in american work"
It's retarded institutions not just retail. 90% of those embarrassing morons can't even beat SPY.
wait WHAT 24 hours??? i'mooked on SPY but you're telling me I can do it for 25hrs now?!?!
SPY puts. Mangos tactics + MMs trying to keep the market down before earnings
you're assuming i will read and try to understand what you're saying. ... bold. SPY 700 QQQ 630
SPY will open -2% on monday and close green. I've called it.
I won't speak for /u/Icy-idkman3890 but I suspect he was just responding to a dismissive & ageist attitude toward posters on the very sub you yourself post on. It's a pretty common - and IMO silly - sentiment around here. Moreover, if these "bunch of teenagers and people with < 5 years of experience in investments" are - alongside their individual stock (effective) gambling - concurrently DCA'ing into SPY, they're so far ahead of the game it's ridiculous. If it continues they'll be [millionaires by ~40](https://www.nerdwallet.com/banking/calculators/compound-interest-calculator). I started at more like ~26 (still have AAPL shares from '11) and am now trying to drill into my teenage nephews how crucial it is to start early. And my not yet crawling son has his FXAIX account already growing. If a teenager or even someone in their early 20s has the discipline to be buying stocks (real companies, not MEME trash) instead of the latest iPhone or whatever else, it's really impressive and I commend them. Lastly maybe your portfolio/dick size, had you posted it, is admirable and something to emulate.
YOU SEE HOW THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP SPY700. IT'S INEVITABLE. ( took some Tylenol )
Not as poor as SPY holders

Are you perhaps mixing up SPY share volume with SPY option contract volume? The orders of magnitude between 5 million and 81k suggest that. Another possible explanation is that some quotes are real-time, while others are delayed 15 or 20 minutes.
Bro really took out a loan for LUNR after getting wrecked by SPY weeklies, that's some next level degeneracy even for this sub 💀
He's kinda right though that's it's a little silly how much this sub gets hated on by people who themselves post on it. If you take it for what it is: just a place to putz around about stocks for people who enjoy investing/sometimes gambling as a hobby even if they underperform the S&P, it's an enjoyable sub. And there are decent ideas here & there as well. Never in a million years would I know about ASTS or NBIS without Reddit. Also remember reading about PLTR & SOFI very early here. Moreover, there is largely an unspoken undercurrent of most of your money should be auto'd into SPY which is timeless advice. -Signed - not a teenager, 7 figure portfolio but many, many fk ups over the years that keep me humble
My opinion, Trump has activated the presidents working group on financial markets AKA plunge protection team (PPT). It's a mechanism for the US treasurer, the Fed, the SEC and commodities futures trading commission to put massive amounts of liquidity in the market and it's been suggested that they are likely colluding with large investment firms like JPM and Schwab to buy massive amounts of index futures to pump the market. It was created by Reagan to get the market out of a recession quickly. Their meetings and everything that transpires in them is kept confidential. And there is little we know about that they actually do. But like all things Trump has done, I'm confident he is pushing legal and ethical boundaries to elevate the market as much as possible. Trump has declared 11 national emergencys. It makes sense he would declare one when SPY dropped in April so he could pump the market all throughout his presidency through a shadowy and powerful market force unlike anything else. It also makes sense why JPM, for instance was predicting a bear market last January and after we got a 50/200 death cross in April, they continued to buy into a mechanical rally through all major SMAs up to new ATH and beyond despite a failing jobs market, near dot com level PE, mass bond selloffs causing black swan risk, trade wars and rising inflation from anti immigration legislation. A professional veteran trader I follow, Hari Seldon, who has a desk at JPM was asking. What the hell is JPM doing here? He pressed them for answers and more or less just got "we are cautiously buying into a mechanical rally". He said you guys are driving the market and they told him they weren't... Which is BS. Every legit trader knows that institutions drive the market and there is no way that the strongest market rally in history was driven by retail traders. They are pumping the market. And will likely continue to do so up until midterms.
probably everyone will tell you to run away from options, which is most probably the best advice. But you probably won't do that so i will tell you my opinion. If you are trading short term options, I only managed to make money by buying low theta in the money options. Everything else is more likely to lose you money and the only way to profit is by being greedy which will drive you mad. I trade like this. I think SPY will go up from 680 so i buy 1dte spy call at 670. This way i will lose money only if i miss the direction. I wont lose money just by theta decay
EWY has had that amazing run compared to SPY in 2025. Kicking myself for not at least getting in on that.
