It really is. If you had 5 million extra bucks what would you rather do with it... Start a business that provides a good or service amd employs people to do so? Or..... Just buy SPY?
institutions are pumping SPY with the option market taking advantage of market maker feedback loop so they can sell off hyperscaler stocks. openAI is 30% of all of their RPOs/bookings and openAI will not be able to pay.

Oh and also, sidenote. RSP has been outperforming VOO and SPY, it's the equal weighted SP500 vs weighted towards megacaps. This isn't normal but it is this year. It has a high expense ratio. I personally switched over to RSP but I trade daily and watch everything closely. VOO is still better to buy and hold and not look for year
What advance did Schwab make in that direction? Schwab was not involved in the creation of SPY, as far as I can tell with a brief search. SPY was the first ETF.
Didn’t they buy United Health Group like 6 months ago? But who cares right? Anyway, they missed out so much on the gains in the past year or so. Their interest rate couldn’t be better than SPY’s 21% gains.
That's more or less what I do. I use more capital more often on longer term expiry contracts, usually with the underlying as well. But sometimes I see something fun happening on SPY and snag myself a few 0DTEs. As a treat.
Don’t forget the part about shifting market sentiment and about the fact that the options you buy are options another trader sold. On the day that OP bought those calls, August 3rd, was the day before the US announced that “The strait will be probably be open by today or tomorrow.” Before this announcement, there was absolutely no reason for a god candle pump if 2%, therefore the premium for selling a wildly OTM 1DTE call in the middle of the trading day when there is less volatility, was practically free. It meant a basket of someone(s) with 100 SPY shares were trying to rake in some free premium and no one was biting until this retard, OP, said fuck it. Now that there are rumors and announcements of favorable resolutions and deals to easing geopolitical tensions are moving forward, far OTM calls aren’t cheap anymore because a better macroeconomy means favorable price movement. “Ain’t no way we move 2% tomorrow during a war, this is free money. I’m going to sell this call at a $1, free money is free money.” *Rumor of war ending releases.* “Ain’t no way I’m selling these calls for less than $10 each, even if it is 2% away. SPY can do that, and especially even more so, now that the war might be ending.”
🥭 can easily pay off the national debt by just regard playing SPY 0DTEs based on his own tweets
Man all the AI data center hate is making me want to open major short positions. Home values going down nearby these data centers since they are very loud, raise electric prices and pollute the water. They are probably more hated than flock cameras, which is amazing since most of the stonk market is propped up on capex spending by hyperscalers. Despite trillions, AI is a shit sandwich and there will never be "AGI" or whatever the new snake oil is. All those trillions wasted and no ROI, plus all the laid off workers not spending large turns into demand destruction hopefully in the next couple years we see a bottom on SPY, around 300.
Mango can easily say "yes we accept the deal" to bring on another 2% open then by 9:45 monday turn around and say "lol jk" and shoot SPY down to 758 again
both earnings are boosted as well as the actual equity / stock price. SPY chart looks a bit less bullish in EUR
You shouldn't have to worry about setting it with the trade dont trade super late into the day (past 3pm est) and it shouldn't move that hard before you can set your stop. Some brokers allow you to set stops when placing orders but mine doesn't, so I just do it immediately after. Also sometimes the spreads can be really wide. Let's say youre trading a 10 cent option Since it's such a low price, and the option going to 8 cents would stop you our for example, you may fly right past 8 cents and go into 7 or 6, causing you to lose more then you anticipated off your stop loss. My advice, set stop losses at -20% to -30% on liquid options (SPY, QQQ, NVDA, GOOGL, AAPL ETC) and ensure if you're buying OTM you're only going 1 strike up at thr most. I know the contracts costs more, but you also have less of a risk of getting stopped out lower then you anticipated. Good luck.
Sell at the bell, SPY is mooning on Monday, you're done.
Ah ok. Appreciate it but IMO there's no such thing as actually protected. Puts are mighty expensive and drag on returns. There can be periods of chop too. I like international. My VGK and VEU is beating SPY (I've added more recently) and I think long term the future of the globe is realistically outside the US.
Calls or puts on SPY after the CPI on Wednesday?
I would say dump this thing because your call is obviously useless and you’re hoping for a miracle. You still have $500ish bucks. Start trading 0-DTE SPY or QQQ calls. You can probably swing 2-3 contracts. Good luck
Now throw 100$ in a 0.01$ 1DTE SPY call like some people here and make 42,000. Easy
SPY will never go to 1000 don't be delusional
Because 99% of people are completely degenerate gamblers who dont have a basic understanding of primitive financial concepts (top of my head example is price volatility correlation between thr VIX and SPY). Its the actually opposite of what every grifter is parroting with their paid course, its extremely difficult and requires significant knowledge and intelligence. Every time I see moonshot posts with long 2dte calls with 0.1 delta I am just perplexed as the first time I've seen one.
SPY to 777 means this is officially a casino (validation)
said it in another comment but basically the entire market under trump is a fraud. He won't let that shit correct while he has his thumb on everything. I mean shit just look at the chart, the second he was elected, the pump was on. he will fight any meaningful correction with all sorts of fuckery tooth and nail for as long as he is in power and the street will love it. If you cant beat em join em im going full tilt naked SPY 800c 8/14 market open. boom or bust
yea but SPY didn't make a dip. Spy was at $756 at 1300. He's saying he purchased contracts at 1300 for 0.01 at a strike of $767.. just $11 away... which makes no sense. SPY CLOSED just $1 higher then where it was at at 1300, not even enough of a move to make much after the decay so you can essentially compared and make a correlation with Fridays close and where contracts are at.... and you'd have to be buying at least $30 under strike to get contracts at 0.01.. and contracts only $11-$13 away are 0.1 -0.14 per contract... nowhere near 0.01, this makes no sense
SPY will be higher next year, book it
What??? There's no way in hell that Spy $767 contracts expiring 8/4 purchased on 8/3 at 1300 (when SPY was at $756) cost $0.01. No fucking way. That's a day and a half left before expiration still and only $11 away. The market closed only a dollar higher from that 1300 price point. If trying to find a 0.01 contract on Fridays CLOSE, not even at 1300 with less time decay... you'd be buying a strike $30-40 less then close to pick up for $0.01. Seeing as SPY only moved $1 before the 1300 and close and he would have purchased at a $11 difference between where the market was and contract strike he bought... your looking at 0.1 to 0.15 for comparable contracts
the entire market under trump is a fraud. look at the chart, the second he was elected, the pump was on it. he will fight any meaningful correction with all sorts of fuckery tooth and nail for as long as he is in power. im going full tilt naked SPY 800c 8/14 market open. fuck it. boom or bust
Main goal of the war was already achieved, everyone forgot about the Epstein.. It just happened that knowing when SPY goes up or down became very profitable for certain family., so it will drag for some time)
SPY moved up 140 points in 4 months. I know it will collapse but not when.
Ok but SPY is at ATH and holding? And QQQ is way above the -20% bear market level
You did an OTM LEAPS. Thats not going to look like the stock. I had success with SPY LEAPS this year, but they’re ITM
What are the calls SPY monday? trump needs a win, bessent think we dont need hormuz but he also controls a infinite money printer?
You clearly didn’t see the part where I had 400+ SPY trades and 200+ QQQ trades.
The 2 days where the SPY only went up is the only time you made money lol. Clearly you're a genius investor and should keep it up!
46$ spread out on SPY puts and calls. And you are making a write up about it? My brother in christ, this is not trading. This is just straight up gambling.
Silly Bears, we're going to SPY 785 on Wednesday after CPI comes in negative. Then 800 before a reactionary pullback a week after.
SPY at ATH and you have people losing retirement money. Lol https://preview.redd.it/9cvyc7kll6ih1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1da6b3e0d65ef16ae83eab73603528a9dbdcb880
Was doing some risky options plays around earnings and ran up from $45k initial investment into about $110k… so plus +65k. Had some winners that i sold way to early on… including a SPY call i sold for a $300 loss… was a 3k bet that peaked at $64k a few days after i sold. I have been doing momentum plays lately on memory where i place $100k on stocks and sell after a small gain (\~$500-$1,000) I tell myself everyday to stop day trading and just VOO/VTI and chill
494.62 0DTE far OTM SPX/SPY calls monday, good luck!

I am in uk so can’t trade SPY options so I trade SPX instead. What alternative can I use for QQQ
I think OP should buy it and then auction it here on WSB. All proceeds go to 0DTE SPY calls.
One of the flattest days Microsoft had. You’re not making 100% because it moved $1.50 at noon. That’s not how it works lol that may be true on SPY 0DTE’s but not MSFT. If you’re not a man of your word that’s fine but I’m not retarded. Just take the L.
Had a dream that an Axios story broke out about Russia sending nukes to Iran and the first thing i thought in my dream was how fucked my SPY calls are for Monday
Don’t know about you, but I’m full porting SPY Monday morning
the 94% weight number is the right one to lead with, the ticker count is nearly meaningless in cap weighted funds and people quote it constantly. one thing i would add though. overlap by weight still understates the issue, because what actually matters is how much of your portfolio VARIANCE the two share, and that is higher than 94%. the unique 6% of QQQ is not some independent sleeve, its mostly other large tech that moves with the same factor as the overlapping 94%. so the diversification you get from that 6% is close to zero even though it looks like a real slice on paper. the flip side of your point is more interesting to me. holding both is not pointless, its just not diversification, its a deliberate tech overweight with extra steps. if someone actually wants that tilt they should size it on purpose rather than discovering it. the honest way to state a QQQ plus VOO position is "i am running roughly X% more tech than the market" and most people holding both cannot tell you what X is. if you want to make the post even harder to argue with, run the return correlation of QQQ against a synthetic SPY-plus-tech-tilt portfolio. it will be up near 0.99 and that number lands with people in a way that a holdings table does not.
If it was ITM the gains wouldn't have been anything to speak of lol On another note, so you can get 0DTE SPY options for less than $20? Maybe that is how I should practice! I rarely implement options unless I am browsing and see something that seems possible while being OTM slightly. I have lost a bit, but more-so in the beginning. Lately my options have just been another tool that I occasionally use. But I only use them sometimes because I need to use some risk to break out of poverty! I fantasize about having just a few big wins, give myself a paycheck and the tax man, and then intelligently investing the rest. One day, one day..
Do you even know what theyre buying or are you assuming theyre full porting in the SPY? There are a lot of stocks that are far from their ATH right now you know
13.66% compared to 7% SPY - sounds like we're almost twice as good. So how come I'm not making money following you guys?

SPY Spread Lottos AnyOne?
People keep talking about the market should crash. Where the fuck have you been in the last 2 months lol. SPY may be up but QQQ and SMH is still down. KOSPI will probably go to Zero soon. The market want en excuse to pump and TACO give it to us a few days ago... We should be able to slowly pump from here on out.
He bought 0DTE puts with dreams of a score, Then SPY ripped higher and emptied his store. He stared at the chart as his portfolio died— “I should’ve just bought calls,” he quietly cried.

He says broad low cost index. He never specifies an ETF. Investors use SPY, VOO, SPYM etc etc interchangeably to refer to the S & P 500.
They are insufferable. Imagine thinking you have a chance of being as good as professional value investors. The goat of Value Investing (Buffett) tells retails to just buy SPY and bonds.

Ugh. LEAPS. It is a very good instrument but also extremely nuanced. To a newbie you might think "stock proxy" but you need to be very careful. Firstly, you need to consider the IV. IV is about 70% of everything when buying something so far out. When volatility drops, you automatically get fked for nothing (think IV crush during earnings). IV and DTE decides the \*\*price\*\* of the option at specific deltas. Delta works with pricing to decide the \*\*leverage\*\*. You need to put these two together to figure out if you bought a good contract or not. Most people buy shitty contracts. How do you know if your contract sucks then? What's a good leverage? The easy (but tedious) way is assume the underlying price does not move until expiry. Find a contract with 2x leverage. Divide your option premium by the DTE and that is your premium decay per day. Then, take any 2x LETF of the underlying stock and compare the volatility decay (difference in expected returns of the 2x LETF, for example if the underlying went up 10% in a time period, you expect the LETF to go up 20% - but it rarely does. That difference is the volatility decay). Use a far out time period (2 years) for a better comparison. For stock, usually LETFs outperform LEAPS because the higher volatility prices LEAPS accordingly. For stable ETFs like SPY, usually LEAPS outperform LETFs. But since you didn' bother to read this much text, a LEAPS leverage of 2.5+++ is \*generally\* a good pricing for stock, but a leverage of 4.5+++ is \*generally\* a good pricing for ETF.
SPY in 2000: 150 SPY in 2013: 150 Can confirm: it sucked
How about I SPY on you while you pullback my foreskin.
I buy calls on any SPY pullback. AI worries are gone. Interest rate worries are gone. Oil will figure itself out. Legit no bear case I can see.
