I'll admit I bought some SQQQ around Liberation Day. I had liquidated everything in late February 2025 and I never thought Fanta would be brazen enough to do the market manipulation around Liberation Day. I was a victim of the first TACO.
🥱 VOO and chill or if you believe that then put all your money in SQQQ and let us know how that works out for ya
huge bets on Japan and Taiwan along with emerging market in after hours EWJ EWT FLWT IEMG lots of leveraged vix being bought and SQQQ / SOXS being loaded yeah US stocks going to have another terrible week hope you guys bought puts
This is an absolutely horrible idea. You need to read how SQQQ works. It is not intended as a long term hold and will screw you over in the end.
I have about 2% of my portfolio allocated to SQQQ and SPXU, I keep buying a bit more every time the SPY and QQQ go up about 3%. I'm about 25% down on each. do I just cut my losses here? it was intended to be a hedge against my positions that have been riding up and up, but ive held it for like 6 months and its not actually "hedging"..just slowly bleeding. thoughts?
🍊 needs to get back on the mic, my SQQQ is fading fast af!
Inverse indexes like SQQQ, UVIX, etc. I’m not only exiting the US market, I’m short on it.
I said months ago that the forward split was a top signal. It’s a shame they reverse split SQQQ
Thinking I'm gonna turn my 100% cash position into 100% SQQQ
Temporarily unloaded the long positions I could, and bot SQQQ as a hedge... Too many calls held over the weekend, you'd think I'd know better by now FFS.
So, I have $25k and 100 shares of UNH. What should be the play? I’m thinking sell CSP on SLV and scalp SQQQ.
Thought it was holding the SQQQ bag over the weekend but looks like that might do decent tomorrow.
If they're SQQQ calls, yes
When you say calls, is that on SQQQ or just TSDD? How can I go broke faster?
I theres gonna be a big crash like every redditor keeps circle jerking over, my $100K in SQQQ is gonna fucking P R I N T. So that means it wont crash. TSLL calls will still print tho 🤌
Wow for once I’m holding inverse over the weekend, SQQQ, gonna double down at open and maybe some silver.
Just like the great depression you guys promised last year? Im still in on SQQQ, so lemme know when it the market gets tucked. Till then, fuck off.
I'm buying SQQQ so QQQ goes back up. You're welcome guys.
After DOJ meddling in the Fed? Had more cash sitting on the sideline before that happened than I have the past 18 years. Perhaps SQQQ or SH? But I will likely just watch everything get trashed and hope normalcy returns someday.
since most of the redditors posting believe gloom/doom/destruction/inflation whatever., then Trump has provided you a once in a lifetime to get rich. Go load up on shorting the market and dollar, so backup up the truck on something SQQQ. stop posting about orangeman bad and start printing your money since you know what will happen. i envy people with such certainty.

SLV GLD SQQQ QQQ puts
Lost like $800 during the start of Covid messing with inverse stocks (SQQQ) and individual stocks… Was a great lesson though as I’ve made tens of thousands of dollars after by simply investing in ETFs and index funds…. Morale of the story is put all your money in VOO and collect 10-20% each year.
Either way, it’s going to flush hard. Panic sell incoming. Holding absolutely nothing by the end of today and loading up on SQQQ with a tight stop loss.
Mods going to need to lock-in. I can already smell all the poLOLitics bullshit. kekw If SPY keeps moving down, may have to grab some SQQQ for a small pump for next week.
Every damn time. Usually minutes after dropping the position. Happened today on SQQQ, End of day it recovered and I would have made money
Meh even if he didn't though it kind of hovered at that price for a few days and in hindsight I should have accepted the fact that historically it was almost certainly at least half of the way and more likely already 2/3rds of the way to the bottom so the risk of it being the bottom already was higher than the possible gains by trying to time it at that point. The SQQQ thing was definitely a freak incident, that was just pure bad luck but I shouldn't have had so much exposure to a leveraged item like that regardless. So ya the logic wasn't *atrocious* but there are some things I should have thought through/weighed better that would have mitigated the bad luck.
Thinking about bailing on my SQQQ position and full port TSLL but I don't have the balls to do so.
Bought $SQQQ. The $QQQ is going down again. The top was put in on 10/29/25.
Man, that tariff pause moment with SQQQ sounds brutal, felt that stomach drop just reading it. You clawed back 20% outperformance since June which is huge, but yeah, the stress and hours spent just to lag the index proves passive wins long term. Respect for sharing, this is the exact reminder a lot of us need before the next "smart" move.
volatility decay? you need time your SQQQ entry to profit even if the market does eventually crash within the next 5 years
I’m not saying that AI is going to die completely or even erase all gains since the run up started, I’m just saying within the next 5 years I believe there will be another event that would case SQQQ to sky rocket, even temporarily.
Look at the price of SQQQ when tariffs were announced, now ask yourself within next five years do you think another event could happen that could yield the same volatility.
I just feel like if I continue to load up on SQQQ and pay no regard to how far the stock price goes, I’m still going to make a crazy return within the next 5 years. I may be crazy but I like how the chart looks.
A whole lot of SQQQ bought on Friday
Ill be dead honest i was like you aswell and I lost so much. Now I day trade TQQQ and SQQQ i have about 24k USD with double leverage im able to buy 2x triple leverage etfs trust me making 50$ or 100$ a day adds up overtime all u need is a 10-20 cent swing and your good u do that everyday trust me you will eventually grow your account. Its not that hard to see a strong buy signal or a complete sell off like today. Its almost garenteed money. And if for some reason u bought TQQQ and it didnt move up 10-20 cents its still not a bad investment its a good ETF just wait it out and dont get too greedy yes it can move 50 cent or a whole dollar but its not easy to capture a move like that but its very easy and you accurately capture a 10-20 cent swing with 700+ shares thats 70-140$ thats someone's daily salary. As u can see today i was able to get in 67.70 and get out 68.46 thats 76 cents x 700 shares thats 525$ now that doesnt happend everyday but at 10 to 20 cent get in get out quick when u see strong buy signal or if its sell off like today thats almost garenteed money https://preview.redd.it/krzrh2ok60bg1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa17ac87f06ad0476a572e36d704ab81309cd9ef
Greed gets the best of us. My advice: Do not scale up. If you trade SPW or SPY do not scale up to SPX. Buy a bunch of /mes instead of using /es. If you trade TQQQ/SQQQ or SPXL/SPXS do not scale up to options. Take that first $100,000 and never touch it again. Have two brokers or three preferably. You can recover because you are 6 feet above ground.
they need to make TSLQ and SQQQ 24 hours in the Hood again this is ridiculous
My SQQQ position is so cooked lmao. "wErE gOInG iNtO A DePresSion" heard that all fuckin year while everyone else with common sense had the best trading year of their life. Never listen to front page redditors.
Agree that SQQQ isn't a great idea for betting against QQQ except at extremes. And to piggyback on HugeAd, SQQQ is often the only way to quickly add a hedge to a basket of long positions in overnight trading when everything is dropping, you can't adjust or sell your options positions, and you can't short stock. It's not perfect, but the computation is simple if you're using TOS. Just beta-weight your basket against SQQQ to find your portfolio delta. Buy enough shares of SQQQ to offset the portfolio delta to neutral. You may still have losses, but they'll be mitigated by 8 am ET, at which point, you can take off the hedge and roll into individual short positions if you prefer exact hedges prior to market open. Early this morning, as futures were dropping, I placed this hedge and cut my losses in half at the open. Better than nothing.
I subscribe to an AI that swing trades the broad market on leveraged ETFs TQQQ/SQQQ and throws money into JAAA when market is at higher risk. Started a little over a year ago. Backtest looked promising, and the real money account results have been good. Can’t complain. https://preview.redd.it/9x3bndw8xu9g1.jpeg?width=1892&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dcbc3d2d172cf6f144d6875308e9d7520ccf0f5
I agree to disagree on this. I’ve done the math. If you worked with real numbers instead of hypotheticals we might be having a different look at this (i.e. current cost of long term puts you’re suggesting on Russell or that DOW actually drops more than QQQ other than when the UNH drop shocked the index as compared with how cheap SQQQ calls actually are).
I feel like you're still missing my point though. I understand what you're saying that hedges are definitely needed, and absolutely you're hedge should be relevant to what you're long on. BUT there is a better way to do it. If my portfolio was mostly commodities, then SQQQ might possibly work in super small doses at super small intervals. If my portfolio is mostly S&P and Nasdaq funds, any time I use SQQQ I am effectively cancelling out and wasting my capital in both directions by taking 2 sides of the same bet. The other issue is the fact that QQQ is a ridiculously strong index over it's entire history. Why not bet against something like Dow Jones or Russell 2000 instead? Just to give a very simplified and common index. In reality you'd want to do some actual deep dives into high liquidity funds that track similarly to assets you're already invested in, yet typically perform worse. You just have to sort some screeners by AUM, and start plugging in side-by-side charts on Tradingview or StockAnalysis.... super simple. There are a bunch of trash funds out there just waiting to be shorted, use those! Not SQQQ! It's only saving grace is it's super high liquidity. It's great for a day trade trip where you need to let's say get in at 11PM and get out at 5 AM lol. To hedge an options trade, or something like. But anything else, holding more than a couple of days? Bad idea.
You make a good point. I don’t really think SQQQ is a sustainable pick either though… just a direct hedge against QQQ in case of actual disaster. My logic is based on what happened in April. SQQQ more than doubled when QQQ and SPY only dropped 20%… and I only say “only” in reference to the fact that this is a 1:5 hedge (20% vs 100% price moves). So if I had $100,000 on QQQ and I put $10,000 on SQQQ, I wouldn’t be fully hedged, but if the market tanked on some really unexpected/bad news, I wouldn’t be hurting either. Now I wouldn’t really do that technically, because I’m not investing in that scale (about half that scale, really) and secondly what I would do is buy a call on it so I can get disproportionate returns if things suddenly went terrible while having minimal exposure to the underlying decaying as it usually does. So in this sense, it’s a very practical hedge that hopefully was never needed.
Why SQQQ when there are so many weaker tech assets to target? QQQ is historically one of the worst assets to bet against in the financial world. I'd advise you to research into all of the underperforming funds out there compare them against the indexes, and use the ones that are perpetually worse off and/or more volatile and target those for shorts/puts. Definitely not SQQQ though. We tend to over complicate some things in this game, but once you take a few steps back you can see the bigger pictures a bit better. The best funds are long in alot of good assets and short in a lot of poor assets. In the end, you're eventually going to win the majority of the trades in both directions. But you will lose 99% of your funds against Nasdaq about 99% of the time. So why try finding that 1% ? This is all coming from a former degenerate crayon eating perma bear BTW. Haha. Not a VT & chill perpetual bull boomer
alright, I've picked the stocks im going to dump for tax loss harvesting to offset some nice gains in 2025: 1) paypal: 15% in the red, been DCA'ing for 3.5 years (started summer 2022). The fact that I'm still red after DCA'ing over 3.5 years while the market is up over 80% is just downright pathetic. Trash stock. 2) nike: same story as paypal (15% in red, DCA since summer 2022): declining YOY revenues, falling knife for over 4 years, same stock price as 2015. a 10 year flat return (including dividends/inflation) 3) pfe: -7% red fall 2024. using DCF model this stock is highly undervalued, forward pe is 6-7 for gods sake. but there is no helping this stock or company. 4) my SPXU and SQQQ positions - the market just wont correct, despite buying/selling/re-buying these hedge positions in cycles. I keep buying as the market reaches unprecented highs valuation wise and the market just keeps going higher. I'll sell during the mini drops though. what will I do with this money? if you can't beat em - join em. going to throw half of it in tech names - CRM, NVDA, AMAZON, GOOGLE. other half will be cash and/or other defensive positions that are doing better.
And yes, I’m short QQQ via SQQQ and short ORCL which like CVNA likely goes to $0 without govt support in 2026.
I like SQQQ as a hedge instead of puts of if investing in Nasdaq. Everyone says it’s a leak that resets daily and blah blah blah but it’s not like it won’t spike if the market pulls back. Holding puts have theta decay… SQQQ resets daily… tomato tomato
Issue isn't whether SQQQ *can* be a hedge... the real question is why use a daily-reset fund that suffers from volatility decay when a deep ITM put gives the same protection without the bleed ? If you're going for market-neutral, Iron Condors over Wheeling.
You can’t seriously think SQQQ can’t hedge SMH…
Dude... what ?? Fellow SMH wheeler here. You're essentially building a complex machine to light money on fire: * **SQQQ is a** ***daily reset*** **leveraged ETF** that suffers from beta slippage (volatility decay) so holding long-term deep ITM calls guarantee you'll bleed value over time even if the market stays flat. It's not a hedge, it's a leak * **SMH and QQQ are highly correlated.** By holding a massive SQQQ position, you neutralize your own Wheel. You cap upside when the market rips, but still pay to hold that decay Stop over-engineering this. If you're worried about a crash, just slice some of your premium to buy a cheap OTM put on QQQ.
Well time to watch QQQQ and SQQQ and level up
Probably SPXU and SQQQ
Thanks for the comment. I didn't consider SQQQ so thanks for that. The issue is though it is leveraged and because of that it loses from volatility decay. Maybe put options on TQQQ is the way forward.
SQQQ is the leveraged inverse QQQ ETF. TQQQ is the leveraged ETF in the same direction as QQQ. If you stock moves with the NASDAQ 100, you hedge is to buy SQQQ or buy put options on TQQQ.
$TSLZ and $SQQQ. And $ETHD. I fucking hate money.
At one point I tried a strategy where I owned equivalent amounts of TQQQ and SQQQ shares, and sold calls on each of them. It worked well for a while but it was exhausting. And TQQQ and SQQQ are not meant to be held long term so each long position slowly deteriorated
There is this really good long term hold etf called SQQQ, full port into it and you'll be fine
This bear sold his $SQQQ position yesterday. Those profits went into buying crude oil stocks and waiting for a pullback in gold that may never come.
Not me but did buy 1dte SQQQ calls
So load up SQQQ before numbnuts opens his face anus?
When was there a reverse split on SQQQ? If I had seen it sooner I woulda known it was a top signal
Silver is up 31% this month. Gold is up 7.4% over last month. I've made 5% over the last 30 days shorting $QQQ with $SQQQ even thou I timed my trades badly. Today my green positions are $HAL, $OXY, $IP, $MOS and of course gold. $XLE and $XLU are about to explode once people start to realize where is all this energy going to come from to pay for all these datacenters being built and what is actually needed to power AI consumption.
BRK, Oil, SQQQ up. 🥴🥴🥴 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lmao 🤣 i mean i dont truely believe what I say but i also dont truely believe in an honest market. I talk to people at work all the time. Im just a normal dude that like to play SQQQ weekly calls every time work gets slow and im bored. Then i day dream instead of brain rot tik tok… not implying that u do by saying that
This bear just moved some of his $SQQQ short gains into shares of $HAL and $OXY, which are added to my new positions in $MOS and $IP yesterday. If this Scam Altman AI circle jerk bubble doesn't crash the market, then at the very least we are going to see a market rotation into energy & commodity names. Trump and J-Pow can print $USD, but you can't print crude oil.
And I sold completely out of $SQQQ. It's time for another V pump fake. You are all welcome.
I just sold half of my $SQQQ position. Bears make money : )
I just flipped my SQQQ to TQQQ ten minutes ago LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
It feels retarded to continue holding full port SQQQ every day but i just keep making money
SQQQ gang rise up
lol no. (Is long SQQQ)
Held my full port SQQQ position from Friday. Was a little puckered at the beginning of the day ngl, but immediately she started acting right again. If you look at QQQ, especially something like the 3 hour chart, she’s showing every sign of an imminent breakdown. In any case, it’s worth hanging onto the position for now - especially with several negative catalysts coming later this week and next
Is the new meta SQQQ and SPY?
Ever since reverse split, Robinhood took SPXU and SQQQ out of 24hrs trading. Frustrating because these tickers are supposed to decline over time, but were really usefull for short term trading over night. Any idea when they become available again.
