Axios: Iran has agreed to finance all of Space X expeditions through 2029 funded by revenue from the Strait of Hormuz. SPY +12%

steelheaddan

Yeah, if he took $10m and lived off of it for 20 years, and invested the rest of the $20m in SPY, (what does OP think, he just kept it in cash or blew through it all in a year). That $20m he never touched is worth $118m today. So I’m sure he’s fine. Not the richest person in the world but he earned 20 extra years of living instead of working , and he has way more money than the initial $30m payout today (letting his money make more money). Probably has more than $100m tucked away conservatively while living a $1m a year lifestyle with $10m up front.

I can't believe SPY is delisting tomorrow

No one cares about SPY it’s all about SpaceX

SteakEater137

Strait still closed, oil reserves getting catastrophically low, main Iran negotiator is resigning: SPY -0.3%, Oil +3% …but Iran has vaguely indicated that they'll continue talking even though nothing has gotten better: SPY +0.5%, Oil -5%

ballzstreetwets

If that happens, SPY will dump

Western_Station_9209

Bro you are the main character, the market is literally coded to your brokerage account. You’re not crazy, the CPI, JPow, and SPY algos all get a push notification the second you click “buy.” Best hedge is to do nothing so they all sit there sweating while you collect risk free tendies from paranoia.

ballzstreetwets

Remember SPY pre market at -11 points only to close up 1.45

SPY announces pivot into AI Compute, up 6.5% in pre market futures

Illustrious-Boss9356

You're absolutely right on the fact that they want you to live in a trailer. But I think you're wrong about how... SPY 20,000 hurts avg Joe more than SPY 5,000. That's why I think it's good to bet on SPY 20,000. The economy isn't fake the only thing that's fake is the value of the fiat currency which they keep printing more of.

Inevitable_Gainz

I love how SPY’s price chart has been pinned on the board for over two weeks and nobody gives a single fuck LOL. BER ARE DEAD.

bzl33

$SPCX might be a buy after the initial dump because they'll get the $SPY pop when they are prematurely added.

Decent_Idea_7701

All in on SPY/QQQ 0DTE to make millions a day. Easy shit.

SeattleOligarch

Yeah it's super easy. Put all your money on 0DTE SPY calls tomorrow at open. Retire by Tuesday.

ooommmnmmmooo

Let’s see I guess it’s going to be SPY 800 QQQ 795 and then it just keeps going

Soulsetmusic

Actually easier, start with 0DTE SPY and work your way up from there, remember you wanna full port first try 

caffeine-182

Who cares there’s 499 other companies in SPY

mystic-madnes

SCHD is up 18% YTD. SPY and VOO are only up 10% YTD so I’m really not sure what you’re talking about. Plus SCHD gives you dividends that you can reinvest.

savemoney_god

SPY pullback, then Calls

Hasegawa_Hatsu

Wait, you guys are buying the dip? I’ve been buying the absolute peak and panic-selling the dip for three years. No wonder my wife makes me sleep in the garage. I'm going to apply this guy's groundbreaking thesis to 0DTE SPY calls tomorrow morning.

Virtual_Secretary_98

Is SPY up or down on hyperliquid?

quiethandle

Just curious, why trade SPY options when there are cash-settled options that give the better 60/40 long/short term tax treatment? I'm talking about XSP (same size as SPY) and SPX (10x size of SPY). SPX is exceptionally liquid, and while XSP looks less liquid, the fills are always fine. Once I found SPX/XSP, I haven't traded SPY options since.

NationalOwl9561

Are you stupid? What part is telling you it’s forex? 😂 It’s literally 0DTE SPY/SPX…

If Exxon is right about our oil reserves, we might get there without even realizing and be like "oh shit". Like when you randomly wake up in the middle of the night and realize that you forgot to do something important Anyways, SPY to 1000

1-Dollar-Doge-Coins

This is just the latest Reddit doomer point. Just like the “oh SPY is actually down with the devaluation of the dollar” dooming we heard for months.

1-Dollar-Doge-Coins

What % of VOO/SPY/VT/VTI/etc do you think SpaceX will be? Hint: an insignificant %

ExperienceFun1646

QQQ/QQQM will add in 15 days. VTI will add in 5 days. VOO/SPY will include in about 6 months instead of 1 year and will take away the profitability requirement. If you want a broad US market index fund that will not buy SpaceX at IPO you can get DFUS ETF. This is not investment advice or an endorsement. (Disclaimer: I’m invest 50% into VTI and 50% into DFUS for this exact reason).

Sharp-Direction-6894

Necessities...like SPY 0dte?

averysmallbeing

Someone will make an XSPACEX ETF that'll at least provide another option, though it'll also tank if SPY does. 

RoyalFail6

There’s always money in the banana stand - SPY 800 EOY is guaranteed 😉

HeyYoChill

This is just untrue, and easily disproven. Look at the total return of say, VOT (vanguard midcap growth) vs SPY since inception. Midcap growth is beating SPY by like 200%. So either the market is wrong and bidding up shitty stagnant midcaps, or you're wrong.

Hard2fgur-SPY-Trader

You would be better off buying puts instead if you are intent on trading Virgin Galactic. Once SpaceX is public, people will be buying SpaceX stock instead of this and SPCE will go back down to $2.50. You’re risking $182/contract to maybe make $20-30 IF it goes up another $1.50 in 2 weeks. You could buy 10-15 SPY 0DTE contracts tomorrow for the same price and make from $100-$2000 in a day

General_Leader425

hehe. Im down $30,000 in the last month but its ok because i can roll over my gme loss into my bumble leaps or something. puts on mstr sounds great. my projected retirement went from 3 million to $600,000 when my job fired me for knowing more than them. also my insurance is now $400 a month instead of $50. the only way out is through. i had wendys last night. but I do have $35,000 in my checking account. honestly, ive actually had worse. back in 2016 i had a felony conviction and -$10,000. And $20,000 restitution to pay. At least I am on pace for $600,000 at retirement. Roll out. Tonight we ride. Leaps on SPY and puts on GME and sprinkle in calls on Amex since their rewards can be redeemed anywhere. Going for the Platinum card. Swipe my card to get points, transfer to hilton honors. Concierge service and hotel bars. Actually. $600,000 for retirement pace aint bad considering at least my felonies are all expunged. 🥂🥂🥂 Honestly love all of you on this sub. There is no single group of degens that I love more, as I have been on this sub under a variety of pseudonym and varying accounts since the beginning. Ive seen all of the plays. All of the gambles. Risky manuevres. Daring expects. On this fateful day? Today. Today. Today is the day to remember to... (ellipsis for dramatic effect as my lifeless corpse makes on last balance transfer as I answer a margin call with even more leverage).

Zuropia

I've been buying (and holding) SPY for a few years and April was my best ever returning month, followed by May

Hard2fgur-SPY-Trader

don’t waste your money on Virgin Galactic. Buy SPY Jul31 $800 calls.

patticus88

I just buy 0DTE SPY calls low then after a few minutes sell them high.

tohams

I trade over 10,000 SPY 0DTE trades/year. Only ticker I trade.

laurencenor

SPY hits 8000, crashes back to 7800... Do you see the issue in waiting?

crazybitcoinlunatic

So if I buy 1 SPY options and sell it an hour later, how much money does Robinhood make off me? Like $0.80 or so?

Tasty-Window

What would actually happen if someone bought the maximum allowable position of 3.6 million SPY 0DTE option contracts and held them through expiration?

Anonn39

Probably a good idea to differentiate the different indexes and ETFs ticker so that people here can understand better and not be confused like I am. FTSE Russel (related ETFs like VWRA/VWRP); NASDAQ-100 (QQQ) and State Street SP500 (SPY) all have different rules regarding IPOs, afaik the one are getting the fast track rules changed are FTSE and the NASDAQ. So if you are like me and own VWRA, seems like we will be affected.

Nwah2112

The daily volume on SPY alone is over 50 million shares on average.

Space-Ant992

Are the SPY and QQQ options 0dtes? I’m unfamiliar with those so what’s the ~~gamble~~ play on that? Do you buy early in the day and hope there’s a change within the day and then sell it? Or does this correspond to jobs reports or other data releases? How can you pay attention to something like that when you have a job?

clubdirthill

The year is 2027. Oil is at $170 a barrel and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Axios reports a peace deal is days away for the 300th time. SPY is at 1,200.

JoocePop

sorry, how do you check for SPY on hyper liquid? Pls help i wanna get into it.. Im looking up the ticker but nothing shows

ChickenMazhou

Since VWAP is not available for SPX, do people prefer using /ES or SPY? I have heard /ES is better because it accumulates more data from trading 23/5. However, others have said use SPY because it replicates the regular session better. For someone who only trades regular session, seems that SPY makes more sense. Also wondering if you set the window in TOS to exclude extended hours trading session for /ES, then will it eliminate that data from the calculation or will it include the data but only show the regular session?

Unhappy-Selection-53

I have some friends who say it’s tough to trade in this market & make a profit. My core investment the last 10 years has been positions in SPY & QQQ & I’ve made reasonable profits without worrying which way my stock or option is headed next & not losing any sleep. Sometimes simplest is best.

DreamfulTrader

Any ETFs options trading is profitable like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc. Starting with 0DTE, it will burn you. You can check my posts and comments on the subreddit, I am now posting my entries and exits. I am doing one option trade a day, 2-5 times a week. * If you start with 0DTE, it will burn you. Trade with non 0DTE with your strategy until you get profitable. * I switched with 0DTE this year with my same strategy as I wanted to grow my account faster and restarted with a $300 account to $60,000 in 6 months. Some may find it too aggressive * With 0DTE or with any options, you need to get **in and out in a few minutes and take your profit.**

Mco1965

SPY or QQQ I get in first 30 min. Find The direction per levels. Take a small bite set a stop loss and get out with a small Profit. Hopefully. If I can’t tell the direction early I go to another underline or simply don’t trade that day. Live to trade another day

McClintockC

Make me SPY CEO and never see red again!

Strong_Owl_2766

SPX/SPY not on the list but honestly makes zero sense they'd skip those when they're including stuff like HOOD. Maybe they're rolling it out in phases or something

bearhunter429

#SPY was at $670 before the war started when strait was wide open. Now we are pumping to $755+ on hopes of strait reopening at some point in the future LMAO🤌

Paul_Robert_

Good thing most of us aren't obsessed with SPY 😌

Yottahz

I am a bit over 2.5 but I dink around with a small Roth for fun. Everything else is in SPY or treasury bonds. In the Roth I still wouldn't buy SPCE but I have bought options on biotech. I got it up to $250,000 from $7500 then lost a lot, down to $40,000, now back to $175,000 and change. I guess I am a bit regarded. It is fun though.

Impressive-Name5129

Hello hon. 🙃 I found your secret wall street bets hang out. So this is what you mean when you said all your money went into SPY while chatting on the forum.

RockasaurusRex

Despite all the uncertainty out there I think we can all agree that it's obvious SPY is going +30% next week.

JasonD8888

You said “try doing .5 to .10 delta on SPY” Did you mean .05 to .10 ? Point 05 rather than point 5 ? But we get the point. Sensible and realistic advice.

Ozqi

Spurs vs Knicks NBA finals, last time this happened was 1999. SPY had a 20.4% gain in 1999 SPY to $800

RunsaberSR

SPY stopped caring about Iran the moment it bounced off $630. Up and to the right. Forevermore.

Ashamed_Variation435

4 years but yeah good point not a great return… but still better than -150K loss that I was starring at in 2024. As far my YTD beats SPY I’m happy. Been doing that for last two years.

Less_Gap_7507

It works, but steady income with limited risk is harder than it sounds, especially for a beginner. Selling OTM options is collecting a small premium for taking on a potentially huge liability if the market moves against you. Most people start with index options like SPY because they're less volatile than single stocks. Selling around a 0.30 delta is common, but you absolutely need a defined risk strategy, like spreads, from day one. Honestly, the real key isn't the delta you pick; it's having ironclad rules for when to enter and when to exit a losing trade. Without that, you're just gambling. I follow PutYield because they only sell ES puts during confirmed uptrends, which is a huge risk filter. It's systematic, which helps avoid emotional decisions. Might be worth looking at their approach for structure, but focus on learning risk management first. That's the actual guide.

ballzstreetwets

The move will be massive for SPY

Bert_McQueen

I started investing by putting money each week into a mutual fund through my bank, I did this for 10 years until I had about $100,000. I don’t even know what it was, it was safe but it didn’t grow very much. After reading a bunch of books and going to a seminar I decided to open a self directed account and started putting a few hundred dollars per week into it. After about 4 years I had invested around $30,000 which grew to $55,000. I started with BRK-B and MSFT and I had some SPY and AAPL. In January of 2025 I received a small inheritance and then I decided to consolidate everything in my self directed account and manage it myself. So in January of 2025 I started with $225,000 which took me about 15 years to save up. Today my portfolio is worth $455,000 meaning that it has doubled in a year and 5 months. In the first year it returned 43% which surprised me, I was hoping for maybe 20%. So far this year it’s up 41%, I am surprised and delighted. Now that I have it where I like it in terms of position size and stocks, I just just keep putting about $500 a month in and I buy whatever is down and cheap out of my chosen stocks. My plan is to hold long term and just keep chipping away. I might start building positions in VRT and ARM over the next year, I also want to add more CAT I wish I had bought more. [Here](https://imgur.com/Wx6JQdp) is what my portfolio looks like today, here is more detail about [ASTS](https://imgur.com/y4Q1xeS) and here is more about [SMH](https://imgur.com/SwtwRMh). I heard about SMH in a youtube video, I learned about ASTS in a reddit post. I learned everything I know from watching youtube videos.

I hope it spikes that high for the lols and I going to slurp some SPY leapies.

Never forget bers told you last year to sell when SPY hit 481 lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sea_Exam3932

RSI sky high, SPY ATH again. People who think this will go to 600+ without cooling are crazy but hey I’ll take my chances.

Sea_Exam3932

I don’t necessarily disagree but with SPY at an ATH again and how stretched AMD looks here, I see it dropping back to 470 at least before.

Chunknorris111

Bought XOM few yrs ago under $100. They pay some dividend, so why bother selling it. It generates some money and is a hedge against events like this. Also picked up some SPY put as hedges in case they start to fight again. Nobody here knows wtf will happen comes monday so best to cover all bases.

RichardUkinsuch

I belive something "broke" in early may and citadel, Jane street or Susquehanna are fuked somehow, possibly on scandisk or futures, and these legacy beaten down stocks are being pumped to fleece retail. Record amounts of puts market wide have been bought since April all while calls keep going up. Definitely not retail selling calls and buying puts on SPY and IWM.

AirForceDocta

Not gonna lie, Bitcoin bros have been shitting on the SPY/VTI crowd. I feel comfortable with 70% VTI/SPY, and 30% VTIAX (international) and just letting it roll. Most of the guys I know that talk about Bitcoin all the time have shit for brains and no future thought process behind the next year. (I am NOT saying this is you!).

kanyedidnothingwr0ng

Thanks for the $5,000 Mr. SPY CEO, I'm not selling! Not financial advice Did he also watch 2 dark magician girls 1 pot of greed? A Bus driver does not give good financial advice. I need to pivot

Regenbooggeit

I wasn’t talking about owning cars. I was talking about car salesmen because dude was saying ‘just flip cars’ instead of buying stocks as if that isn’t a fucking niche to get into. Even though a lot of people own cars. Flipping cars just as houses requires a lot of knowledge. Stocks? Just buy SPY and fuck off into the sunset.

### End of June: WTI climbs to 125. We have a concept. ### July 31st: WTI 150.

New Tarriffs. SPY 630 ### November 15th: counter tarriffs. SPY 570 ### December 10th: Deepseek v4 drops. Massive efficiency gains over oAI or Claude. SPY 520. ### Jan 2027 WTI 300. Circuit breakers.

I have SPY puts 😔

NotMe357

TACO should start a war with Cuba this Sunday and make a peace-deal with them on Monday so SPY can go up 1% while QQQ go up 2%. Peace is always good for the world, but to have Peace we need War first.

dlinders10

I would disagree. I do 95% of my trading with shares but it's nice to use options with a little left over money. They have their place and it's not always gambling. During the Iran war dip I bought $680 SPY Leap calls expiring in 2027. They are up 10x now and we're pretty low risk given they were bought so far out. I could have bought more shares but I'm up way more with the option to take advantage of a downturn. I figured it was pretty safe the Iran war dip wouldn't last into 2027.

oilman99999

SPY 10000 is around the corner tbh

Over-Computer-6464

The SPY/VOO is not a clear cut case. The IRS has never made a statement about what is "substantially identical" with ETFs. Many claim that VOO and SPY, although they track the same index, do not have identical holdings and therefore will not create wash sales if selling one at a loss and immediately buying the other. This is an open question. There are many more that claim that you can swap between similar ETFs that track indexes from different index providers. There are 3 or 4 major index providers. So for example, there are VTI, ITOT, and SCHB that are in total US stock market index ETFs, but technically they follow different indexes. Companies like Betterment and Wealthfront have published white papers on how they use similar, but not substantially identical, ETFs like this to tax loss harvest. The IRS has not approved, but neither have they objected.

ThetaEdgeHQ

Worth separating the two risks people fold together here. On American style ETF options like SPY the risk is pin and early assignment, which others covered. On cash settled European index options like SPX the assignment risk is genuinely zero, but there is a different one that catches people. The settlement value isnt the Friday close you see on the chart. AM settled SPX options settle against the special opening quotation on expiration morning, built from each component opening print. Those prints dont all happen at once, so the SET can land meaningfully away from both Thursday close and Friday regular open. A spread that looked safely OTM at Thursday close can settle ITM on a gap morning. That basis between the print you watch and the SET you actually settle against is the under discussed risk, not the mechanics of cash settlement itself.

meathead13_

If you aren’t retiring in the near future it doesn’t really matter what happens in the short term Go look at what the last few big crashes look like now on the “all time” chart for SPY

No-Improvement3164

SPY is so out of touch with the 200wma it’s insane

Ziegelmarkt

>Where things can get tricky is ETFs. SPY and VOO are considered substantially similar so you can't sell SPY for a loss and then buy VOO. I deliberately didn't mention that just for brevity. I think SPY/VOO were the actual examples they gave me too. My easy way to remember the rule ever since has been to sell an EFT for a single stock or vice versa, or completely change sectors "just in case"

atpplk

> Or you could just... do nothing? Am I misunderstanding or is 1.8 trillion a good deal less than the market caps of Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc? Like, I think Microsoft's days are basically numbered with the enshitiffication of Windows, but I'm not going to dump SPY or QQQ over it. I'm pretty sure the bodega next street also has a market cap that is sensibly less than Google, Microsoft, Apple. But they don't have the same revenue and profit either.

WickedSensitiveCrew

You are right but attacking SPY in anyway will get you downvoted every time. Weighting will tilt more toward tech if SpaceX is actually able to change the rules and get into S&P 500 sooner.

Emilio___Molestevez

you guys are aware that Don has told his people he wants to be in office for $SPY $1000 right? like you don't actually think he's gonna let someone else take credit for that milestone, do you?

Lost_Ad_3081

Nope, I'm not. But my portfolio has been cranking and I'm very happy with the gains. Portfolio is 70% SPY, then the remainder is mostly MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL. I have a couple of degenerate options plays at any given time but never had any take off.

dinklebot2000

Did you read what OP wrote? Similar companies are fine, just not the same company. And selling for a gain and then rebuying does not trigger wash sale rules, it's only for losses. Where things can get tricky is ETFs. SPY and VOO are considered substantially similar so you can't sell SPY for a loss and then buy VOO.

True. 2025 SPY was down in my currency. But this year dollar recovered a little and the stock market went up even more. So if i held us stocks which i did (only a few) I get a double effect.
