Mentions
Tonight my wife told me she needs a larger paring knife. I looked at it and mentioned the one we have is already big at 4”. She deadpan said “4 inches isn’t really all that useful to me.” I may have blushed, and our 8y/o nephew was sitting there laughing not knowing jack about shit. She then proceeded to drop innuendo all night and then got a headache and went to bed. Now I’m sitting here sharing this with you all. None of that actually happened. I initiated tonight and got a handjob. No complaints. SPY 774C 8/7.
I'm surprised you made spy call money today ans not the last two days where it only went up. Sounds like you should stick to SPY on green days only
✋🤓🎤 "Yes I wanted to talk about SPY, so I did a little DD on it and it looks like it will go up today." And then u/OPINION_IS_UNPOPULAR would be like, "Okay great, anyone else"
For Taleb's first fund, it was a barbell strategy, of approx 5-10% OTM Puts and the rest Treasuries. The rationale for this was client's are used to paying 2/20, and the fund couldn't survive on 2% fee of just the capital for the Puts; and also to give margin cushion for his option strategies. For the second fund, they realized that client's weren't happy with the performance, so they now have client's allocate only 2-3% of the client's AUM to the fund, and they charge a fee based off the notional protection (e.g. A 100 Strike Put costs $0.10\*100=10 ,but the notional value is 100\*100=10,000) Like others asked, what are you hedging? Given your low-vol portfolio. Or are you just curious about a new strategy? To add to the PPUT example, you can also look at the JQHEX quarterly strikes, where is isn't transparent how they set the strikes, but its interesting check them see what that team's opinion is. For SPX 20% OTM Puts expiring in 106 days, it costs $3141 and if the market is down 25% your gain is at least $45,000 (14.32x). In the past 20 years, SPY has been down 25%+ 3 times (Oct '07 financial crisis, Feb '20 COVID, Jan '22 rate-hike scare), so I'm not willing to run what strategy. I would have to be smarter and more active in order to make it work out.
Solid play honestly SPY doesnt want to go below $770 at all Another Rally incoming

SPY is up 13% YTD, QQQ is up 17%, he's up 12%
Not sure about SPY but SPX works on Robinhood almost 24 hours a day
Weren't we supposed to be able to trade SPY 24 hours a day by now??
Wow I SPY up after hours and MU only down 2%?? Not bad
I am drunk and wondering what SPY will be like tomorrow.
I think we already ran out of oil according to the critics. Just waiting for the implosion. In the meantime, new highs for SPY!
So youre saying you made 100x on SPY on a day it was up only 2%? Im not following the similar posts on this forum. Either you need to be buying puts and calls all the way at the top and bottom, 0DTE, way OTM or something is fishy.
SPX moves in $5 increments while SPY moves in $1 increments.
What if all 4 million users on wsb at market open full port into SPY. There’s no way it doesn’t tick up and cause a run up. I’m the only one who can buy calls though.
765 puts on SPY, stonks or sad losses ahead idk
I have SPY lotto calls for Monday, and a SPX lotto for tomorrow, so if we gap up or down 2% I'm happy. Which means flat day tomorrow y'all
Nah. Most likely the prior breakout level holds. Maybe $757, or a fake flush lower. It would be a strong entry for long SPY calls at that level. I think this runs to $830ish before we get a real draw down
SPY 600? sir, with respect, you're regarded.
Wait to place SPY calls, don't even waste your time w/ Puts; push for the higher $760s
Best position is SPY 600p 8/6 I don’t hold any bad positions
Bears in this sub assuming a breakout after months of consolidation will just fail on the first day is evidence of severe retardation. SPY will form some kind of range here. Most likely between 760-775. That’s likely to persist for 5-10 days. Then most likely another step up.
What do KOSPI prophets have to say about SPY tomorrow?
September 4 715/720p with 755/760c with SPY trading at approx 770 at close today my call side is now ITM. After some research, the solution is to turn this into Iron Butterfly 715/720p and roll to 750/755p collect premium to cut down on loss. My question, is when to do this (If the call side remains breached)? Mid August (2 more weeks)? Yes, I googled, but want some personal experiences. Always, thanks in advance.
This time, it wasn’t different SPY 700 EOW

Patience. WAIT until after CPI. Then load SPY calls. Easy money.
SPY will hit 745 tomorrow
I held both calls and puts for maybe 5-10 min, the longest I held was maybe 20 min, but that was at my last put when it started dropping to $771. I keeping pulling out when I made \~$200-$500. The $500 I made was from my first initial call on $776. Then I played between the calls and puts. Yesterday 8/4 was a full on call day on SPY. Hoping for that tomorrow 😭😭
If SPY and QQQ keep the current trajectory, I may get all my money back 😝
SPY puts printing green while you're already down 80%, that's some next level hopium.
I’m buying SPY calls for $773. Small profits add up yall. Make $2.7k with just $800 in 2 days.
I wouldn't put too much on KOSPI, it's been -30% since mid June while SPY has continued to go up. Also, KOSPI currently: -3%
I'd like to remind you that yesterday a ship was actually hit with a missile, and SPY gained 2%.
The money leaving memory/semis is going into SPY with less tech. Thats why the Qs fell so much more
If only Axeman could see SPY 770+. I know you’re out there somewhere probably loading up SPY 900c next lol
Gold up today. SPY still has room to go up. QQQ, DRAM and SOXX are going to see a pull back.
SPY opens at 720 tomorrow
I just raised guidance on SPY
Do you not understand SPY is 1/10th the size of SPX and OP would have made a tenth of his profit if he did SPY?
The funny part is that SPYD has outperformed SPY ytd even without considering the divedend.
For everybody saying SPY is at ATH, if it just stuck to its 500 day moving average, it would be at ATH every day.
I did brother…bought the SPY and chilling.
Well besides today in the last couple days SPY has been shooting up to all time highs. A little pull back today but I think it will be worse in the next couple days. Big bubble burst.
ngl the indexes posted a pretty ugly candle today... this probably isn't a lockout rally, but more of a slow melt up. Institutions are switching from OTM to ITM calls. SPY 800 EOY.
Why did SPY hit ATH this week Don’t think too much about reasons lol
I'm so lost with SPY at staggering ATH, and memory halved... literally neutral sentiment

Bro saw people making bank on SPY calls the last two days and decided to try his luck 😂
Not easy but doable, I’ve had best luck with QQQ it’s more volatile than SPY
If SPY was $771 how do you make money on a $787 Call?
SPY -5% tomorrow by the way
Think about it like supply and demand. If something doesn't seem likely, not many people want to buy it. As it becomes more likely, more people want it, so price will go up from the "some in demand". Well SPY hit $800 next week? Not likely, so the options in that strike range are cheap to reflect that. If SPY jumps to 790 tomorrow, getting to 800 is so much more likely and the very same contracts will price on that likelihood.
SPY +5% tomorrow by the way
Bought 3 month DTE PUTS on SPY
The problem is you don’t know where the top is at. SPY could run to $830 before you finally get a 10% pullback. Which seems far more likely than dumping a market thats gone sideways for 3 months and finally breaking out.
Why VOO and not SPY though? Are they not basically the same?
Literally been in meetings and site visits all day , SPY looks flat AH, why are people freaking the fuck out??
Why don't u just put it into vanguard, or any other SPY ETFs, just let it sit there, you'll still earn 8% without too much risk.
Bols pumping SPY up to today's resistance like regarded 🐖s. You know what happens to 🐖s right?
so SPY calls every single day? why not
VOO is currently at $708.55 as I type this comment. VOO will need to decline 2.6% from this current level for the 690 to be at the money let alone in the money and turn a profit. Unless you were positioning for a 5% correction by Friday, which is possible but highly unlikely, 3 out of 5 of these will expire worthless. I bought SPY puts with 8/7 exp close to the top today myself and they are in the money already. I will likely sell them tomorrow morning if we get the pullback I’m expecting. As was previously mentioned, trade the SPY options, not the VOO. The liquidity and spreads are much better. And if you’re looking for a big move you have to buy some time, more than a day or two. Good luck!
Shorting SPY is like betting against America. U dont bet against America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I see you sold them at 10AM CST, if you were to hold little longer would have been 1M, if I'm not mistaken as SPY rallied all day yesterday
Naw fam SPY going to 8000
No I have been scalping SPY and QQQ like a little bitch. Also took some gains on puts with SpaceX yesterday, but I too got IV crushed. Luckily it dropped enough to make a 30% gain on a weekly. Staying out of the SpaceX share unlocking tomorrow. I don’t have the stomach for options except the occasional couple hundred dollar lotto ticket.
I put the last of my tendies on SPY 775c
Bers so fukd… SPY taking off AH. Strait opening imminent
Why is everyone so confident SPY can't revisit 740 that pumped on fake news?
Got Friday SPY call . please pump .
Anyone still confident SPY rockets to 800?
No, but SPY was up almost 1% today at it's highs after one of the biggest 4 day rallies in history
What percentage of SPY do they make up?
Imagine losing everything with a SPY -0.21% day
You should have done it SPY. No balls!!
SPY pls go down so I can make some money in the next week or two
SPY drop is pretty confined thus far, will see if theres a briader memory pullback tomorrow though we already had a string pullback from the Leopold Assbender and Korean grandads getting margin called so its already pretty flushed

What magic manipulation is even holding SPY up at this level with seemingly everything else down?
Shit ton of $795 and $799 Monday SPY lottos. SPY in the mid 790s by Friday would erase a year of mistakes trading. Just need 2 more 2% days lmao ..
SPY with it's biggest 4 day Rally in the history of the ETF and you think people aren't rich just simply longing the biggest index on earth?
People thought SPY will be going up 2% everyday for a year. It didn't so now people will think it will go down 2% every day.
Yes but losses are quick. I did lose 1k today on SPY. I bought a call at 775 today literal moments before it started sliding from 775 to 771 and just tanked. After being up 2 weeks straight and showing no signs of dipping the moment I bought it fucking tanked. Learned my lesson fuck SPY
You wouldn’t have survived the days of M/W/F SPY options.
!Banbet $SPY +/- 3.5% 1 DAY
interesting question, but important to contextualize the first. remember, VOO/SPY themselves ARE momentum strategies - they buy winners and roll out losers. so the passive holders are actually momentum investors which is a fantastic long-term strategy. that's why adding an economic structure like DCA on top works so well. there are other versions that also work really well like DCA with realized profit trimming, etc. options are just vehicles, nothing more. a trader could easily overlay an options strategy onto the index DCA approach and that would operate just fine - but have a different risk reward profile. there are lots of minimal impact strategy a trader can run with options, they just all come with corresponding drawbacks that need to be reconciled with. when you add specifically selling options domain, that adds a layer of complexity because we're not effectively removing the primary driver of DCA and chill returns > uncapped upside and flipping that effectively. we're capping upside and taking skewed downside risk in exchange for a higher probability of making it. in that world, i do not think there is a simple parallel to outperform DCA/B&H on a friction adjusted basis.
#SPY green in the after hours market just as I predicted LMAO🤌
Everyone thought SPY was going to fall today, but it went up. Are we going up or down tomorrow?
Don’t do VOO options. Use SPX or SPY
I bought a 08/07 SPY 763 put today so it's definitely not crashing before next week.
All in 0dte SPY puts tomorrow morning
