I bought SQQQ at 330 yesterday. I thought we’d be lower
I like him for another reason. $SQQQ and $SBIT are going to start printing
$124,574 portfolio as of close on 10DEC. Portfolio allocations below are approximate. > SQQQ - 15% (percentage includes some 2 month out sold puts in total notional value. I sell calls periodically to offset the volatility decay). > FXY - 25% (FXY is Japanese yen currency ETF purchased in USD). I see this as basically a cash position and a hedge against USD dropping and upside on Japan interest rate hike together with US-Japan carry trade unwinding with fed cutting rates). > LEGN - 5 % (with plans to increase to 8% max allocation. last 2 earnings reports show moving towards profitability in the CAR-T cell therapy space (not profitable yet, but looking better) > US10Y - 5% (bought at 4.4%) > SPY - 5% (ish - have been trimming this for the past 3 months heavily from initial allocation of 15%) > USD (cash)- 45%. Used for maintenance of sold out positions and reserves for increasing above position sizes based on market dynamics.
for anyone who thinks these red futes are fake open an after hours screener look at the volume of UVIX SQQQ SOXS and other bear etfs bought millions and millions of inverse etf and you think that there wont be a massive drawdown after sell the new rate cut? we are only getting one more cut if we are lucky which means the market will throw a tantrum until the odds of more go up thats the name of the game look at last week
so much UVIX SQQQ and SOXS bought after hours we are gonna have a -2% day tomorrow minimum they are mad we only getting 1 cut next year maybe none if things keep getting worse when silver pumps it means stocks will crash not even gold is safe now
SQQQ also known as NBIS
You could take a position in $SQQQ if you want to short the market
I am feeling the same way, but reluctant to sell a few due to my cost basis being low, such as Oracle $48, Apple $112, NVDA $96…all associated with the AI conundrum. I am also holding TQQQ with the bulk at $5 cost basis, so little risk ahead since I alternate between SQQQ for dramatic moves to generate additional profits. Everything seems stagnant, uncertain and volatile due to conflicting data and an irresponsible orange buffoon making constant drama and turmoil.
3x leverage is too much for this play long term. I’ve had the same thought and the decay on the ETF is just to much even in a crazy bear market. Swing trade SQQQ or if you’re really committed to this play, buy puts on TQQQ and take advantage of the natural decay on the other end.
Pull back the chart to max on SQQQ. Now do the same for QQQ. History shows that the market / NASDAQ not only always goes up in the long term, it does so at around 10-15% per year on average. If you try to inverse that, you **will** lose. Just look how much SQQQ has decayed over its lifetime. Given enough time, any position in SQQQ will effectively approach 0. An inverse ETF like SQQQ is only meant to be held for a brief period when the market goes down, and *has to be sold* as soon as the market starts to go up again. The problem with that is you have to nail your timing almost perfectly. Also, even if *you* think there will be "crazy" times ahead, you're probably wrong, or even if you're right you might not play your cards correctly. My personal read is that right now is the time to be bullish, so I would completely avoid any inverse ETFs.
It can work as a hedge, if that's something you want to do. I wouldn't take a large position in it, personally. Due to the triple leverage you can downward hedge your investments with only 1/3 the capital of a normal short. Say you have 100k in QQQ, you could put 33k in SQQQ and, in theory, your total balance should remain roughly the same regardless of whether QQQ goes up or down. Just know that if the market continues to go up you are missing out on a lot of gains from having capital tied up in SQQQ.
It's in the prospectus that holding sqqq overnight is a bad idea.. they just did a reverse split not too long ago.. it goes down way more often than it goes up.. inverse leveraged etfs are "widow makers" ... if anything, you're better off buying calls on SQQQ to limit your risk exposure.
so what would it look like if you know what you were doing? are leveraged etfs just something that require much more knowledge to successfully profit off of? in my mind it was just as simple as “if you should invest in QQQ when the stock market is doing well, you should invest in SQQQ if you think the market is about to collapse”
No. And I hold a lot of leveraged ETF's. I'd rather go to the casino than buy SQQQ.
Leaps are not safer. Long term hold I remember reading that 2x leverage outperformed. If you really believe in America, shorting SQQQ is the way
After panic selling April 7th (I did buy back by like May 1st but damage done) I often think of the fact there is almost certainly some dude somewhere on here who was holding SQQQ in April and then TQQQ for the rally. And I hate him and I hope never to meet him.
No, swing trading TQQQ and SQQQ shares. I was invincible for, like 2 months.
as long as I keep buying SQQQ, the market will continue to rally! I can singlehandely push the nasdaq to 30,000
SQQQ not being 24 hours on hood anymore is annoying and berphobic
Think i need to go back to holding SQQQ so this shit keeps ripping
The only thing red in my port is SQQQ
QQQ is nice but buying 0DTE SQQQ calls is priceless.
I just added to $SQQQ. I'm betting the $QQQ gets rejected at Friday's closing price.
Gonna hold a fractional share of SQQQ so we never go down again
Was gonna sell my RIOT and buy an SQQQ hedge on Friday, but was busy at my new job. Also, I got greedy.
Riding on tech isn’t a bad idea. QQQ already captures most of the individual tech holdings so there isn’t much diversification. Tech rally has been strong since 2010. Ride it to the moon if you can tolerate the swings. I personally like QQQ rebalancing automatically. Removes guesswork. I only momentum trade QQQ (and it’s leveraged cousins TQQQ/SQQQ) and long term with GDE on taxable account.
Hmu tomorrow morning. Im in SQQQ atm and if it gets sexy tomorrow I may drop $75k on BTC
Actually SQQQ moves down to the right
SQQQ is still a hedge for tech weakness, but short-term, gold and defense may move first.
You may be right about tech down (hence my uncertain SQQQ call). However, I believe the short term move would be a rush out of US debt and into gold. ONDS is practically a meme stock that follows war news somewhat. Also if he goes in, budget will need to increase.
Listen up, chucklefucks. The pedo files are required by law to be released 12/19. War won't start UNTILL that week. RTX and ONDS calls for 12/26 PUTS on TLT and CALLS on GLD as oil, gold, and bond yields all about to go to Valhalla (i'm told this is in the sky, but need to do more research). I would saw get some SQQQ calls too... but I'm not confident enough that AI trade wont just keep ballooning away as we slide into a second WW2 (might be called WW2^(2) ?) Good luck, we're all counting on you.
Last Thursday, 18 billion was dumped into SQQQ. I hope those retards enjoy Thanksgiving.
Last Thursday, 13 billion was dumped into SQQQ. I hope those retards enjoy thanksgiving.
I have no idea what stocks will do day to day. I just look at cycles. If you create channel lines connecting the 1929 to 2000 to 2025 highs on the weekly S&P 500 we have heavy resistance level in this stock super cycle. We would need to put in a new ATH weekly close on S&P 500 before I change my bearish views. If you connect a channel line connecting the 2020-2022-2023 lows the $QQQ briefly broke below that channel support line last week. Again I will probably time my buys & sells on $SQQQ incorrectly over the next 3-6 months, but I have more than enough dry powder in cash to see how this plays out until the $SPY and the $QQQ put in a new weekly ATH close and I admit I was wrong.
Buying $SQQQ. The relief rally in the $QQQ is over boyz. The bull trap on retail has been sprung : )
the bears have completeley dissapeared now...after this rally. time to buy some SQQQ!!
I've had a great month in Nov shorting $NVDA and $QQQ. For full disclosure I completely sold out of my leveraged $NVDA short ETF's yesterday. The $QQQ is at the price levels that I had previously started buying $SQQQ. I might start that short again, however, I am also looking at putting my bearish short gains into agriculture stocks $MOS and $DE. Buy low, sell high. .
Ive got spy puts and SQQQ puts... can't go wrong unless you're wrong..
My port is at ATH's after selling all my $NVDA shorts 90 mins after market open. I'm tempted to buy some $SQQQ since reddit short buy indicator has made an appearance : )
Remember the retards who piled 18 billion into SQQQ last week? I hope they have great thanksgiving explaining why they are now homeless.
Next time, you're better off asking a question like this in /r/stocks. This sub does not like to give any advice other than to buy the S&P and hold until you die. SQQQ if you're 100% certain there will be a drop. But part of the reason you're getting flamed here is because you'd be an idiot to yolo everything (or even a significant amount) into this fund. There's plenty of reason to think the market is going to keep ripping for another year or more.
So the TQQQ part, I agree, but the SQQQ I have backtested and it always turns bad. Is there any other way to hedge in cases of a falling market that is not and inverse ETF?
Its easy. when the market its about to enter in a correction, put the 60% of your portfolio in SQQQ, keep the rest in cash to dollar coast average in case of market goes against you. And when the correction is over sell all and buy TQQQ. Easy, just sell at the top and buy at the buttom, rinse and repeat. 🫡💵💪🤷🏻♂️
Not betting the house when it was $152 is my second biggest regret in investing because I knew it was a steal at that price. But my biggest regret was holding a huge SQQQ stake when the tariffs were first paused which is why I didn't bet the house on GOOG because SQQQ burnt quite the risk aversion in me.
right now is when you go ahead and grab some SQQQ calls
Added to $SQQQ and $NVD. Thanks for the BTD opportunity bulls : )
This Thanksgiving I am grateful for having sold all of my SQQQ 5 minutes before close on Friday. Don't care that I didn't get back in on bol train, because I would have painted the walls red if I was still holding.
Yessir tanking going in on SQQQ
Are my 11/28 SQQQ2/UVXY1 calls cooked still or could dump at open save them?
They are designed and marketed as tools for short-term hedging. It's a daily reset fund and it continues to serve the purpose it was designed for however much it drops. The inverse SQQQ has dropped literally 99.9994% since inception in 2010 and it's still going. They do splits when necessary.
Same. I couldn’t execute it in my HSA effectively. I basically did something analogous to the HFEA bogleheads strategy. I didn’t deleverage in 2022, but had a hard time automatically buying … because of the weird way i have to transfer funds into the self directed portion of my HSA. I could not stomach the volatility knowing you are not actually getting 3x the upside of the unlevered product. I deleveraged early this year Jan/feb and it’s been a good call. Maybe I will revisit it if I can short shares of SQQQ 😀
They run them as pairs to collect fees regardless of market direction. The inverse (SQQQ) is frequently down 90-95% + and they reverse split to keep it in the game. Don't see why this would change if TQQQ were to be on the other end from ProShares perspective.
The 3x leveraged short Nasdaq 100 ETF, $SQQQ, saw +$12 BILLION in net inflows on Thursday, the largest daily inflow on record in data going back to 2010. This means some investors bet hugely that the tech stocks will decline. Many retail investors are piling into investment products they do not understand..
I added a few more shares to each of my Mag 7 positions and added more shares to my SQQQ position. From here, I hope the NASDAQ continues to fall and I’ll take profits from my SQQQ position to buy more Mag 7 at a discount.
Against better judgement, I am going to hold my $SQQQ and $NVD shorts thru the weekend. I rarely, ever, short anything; but the disbelief among reddit & media that we will never again have a market correction is idiotic and usually a sign of market tops. This might not be the AI bubble popping that I think it is, but we will see $NVDA retest $166 and the $QQQ retest $565 within years end. That's my planned exit range.
no idea but super glad I sold all my SQQQ at 1:46 and missed whatever the fuck this is
your SQQQ is down huge, nice try buddy
I loved that pump. Got into SQQQ when QQQ was up 1.05%. Kinda want to just sell and focus on work but this is too much fun
Gambler? :( Im 40% SQQQ 60% Cash/SGOV. Will be back to 100% cash before EOD i aint holding any of this shit over the weekend
I'm not the gambler you are. I bought $NVDS to add to my $NVD position. My port is now 10% short $NVDA and 5% $SQQQ.
Today is playing out exactly like I said in PM and now I have 900 shares of SQQQ and waiting to see what happens
Its possible. Today did trigger a possible reversal signal but algos do so many fake outs im sticking to shorter term candles until its a clear bullish shift then ill go to higher time frames. Im gonna keep doing this while im hot, and then take a break after my next miss (which it could very well be this one). 900 shares of SQQQ right now lol
Yes! I’m waiting for the shoe to drop. I bought SQQQ and SDOW. Didn’t cash out in April. Now down -130k. Waiting patiently for the economy to sink. Will see, otherwise I’ll just keep crying in the corner.
SQQQ gang, perfect timing on the reverse split
I sold all of my SQQQ and SPXU today for a loss after they did a reverse split. They'll definitely drop hard from here so I can feel a little better, right?
Man I read a lot of comments before I finally hit this one. I went mostly to cash over several weeks starting in early Nov. and actually went bullish and bought SQQQ the last few days. The market signaled weakness for a while now. I was shocked and a little freaked out by the overnights and early trading but held tight somehow as I’m committed to hold my bear position until 10% down or Dec 31 when I’ll go to cash. Tomorrow we might be back up again, but I think not and I’ve bet on it.
**This is hard to believe but everything I have run is checking out!** **So I have come across something that seems to good to be true, but I have tested this against the entire year so far and it is pretty crazy how it seems to run 90+% accurate to the Nasdaq. I've run it through GROk repeatedly and even Gone so far as to check how it work during the 2008-2009 crash...** **I had started with trying to see if BTC movement overnight correlated to any stock movements when market opened> Shockingly the NASDAQ seemed to be follow 80% of the time if BTC moved +/- .40% AT PRE MARKET OPEN. If it was less than .40 just stay out.** **I checked and double checked this. I went through using 3x ETFs like SQQQ and TQQQ inverse and if I had bought at p\[re market the corresponding etf, and sold at market close, my gain for this year would have been 186%** **Totally unbelievable right? Well it gets better. I had it switch to the best 3x ETFs it could come up with and those were FNGU and SOXS. I also asked it what correlated better than BTC in pre market and to my surprise it was the NQ NASDAQ futures! I'm sorry but those futures always seem to be BS to me but sure as cow manure it checked out at 92% of the time... doing the same thing generated up to 312% gains. How can that be real? Here's that info from GROK:** "Here is the exact, copy-and-paste routine that turned $10,000 → $41,280 in 2025 using only Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) as the signal — no BTC, no guessing, no assumptions.The Routine (takes 60 seconds per day) 1. \*\*Every trading day at 8:00 AM Eastern (Schwab pre-market opens at 8:00 AM ET), look at the Nasdaq-100 E-mini futures (NQ) continuous contract. * You can see this for free on TradingView, CME website, Thinkorswim, Yahoo Finance, or even Google “NQ futures”. 2. Compare the price at 8:00 AM ET to the previous day’s cash close at 4:00 PM ET. 3. Decision (fixed thresholds that worked all year): * NQ down 0.40% or more → buy SQQQ with 100% of the account at 8:00–8:15 AM ET (pre-market order). * NQ up 0.40% or more → buy TQQQ with 100% of the account at 8:00–8:15 AM ET. * Anything between –0.39% and +0.39% → stay in cash. 4. Sell the entire position at 4:00 PM ET close (market-on-close order). Do it again the next day with whatever cash you have.
Learn how to hedge. Try buying a reverse ETF. This category of ETFs post positive gains when the market is tanking. I bought a couple thousand shares when the market started crashing and make $3k (still holding). This market is gonna have a lot of volatility and negative days will probably outnumber short term positive gains. The SQQQ is a reverse EFT that folks use all time to play the short side. This just one example of how to play the dark side but there are others where you get better “bang for your buck” regarding leverage. If this is the start of a 25-40% correction, expect the downturn to last 12-18 months. Don’t get caught in the death spiral.
It’s the entire reason why hedges are used by traders. I made $3k today using an inverse ETF. BTW: imho this market has gone negative and will continue to have a negative bias for the foreseeable future. The SQQQ is an example; there are others that are cheaper, giving more bang for your buck and I’m leaning heavily on this approach because of the froth in the market.
I bought 100k worth of SQQQ shares. Will sell in a week when they’re worth 200K.
I do genuinely believe today was at least partially because of the SQQQ/TQQQ/UVXY splitting/resetting
Literally bought a few hundred SQQQ shares 15 minutes ago. You’re welcome for the rally
Just bought some SQQQ - prepare for Shrek dongs
Tqqq split and SQQQ reverse split
I blame the TQQQ stock split and SQQQ reverse split
SQQQ up 433% today. I had a grand set aside to drop in for fun and missed the boat.
Is SQQQ really at $80? lol I sold my 50 shares at 14 before nvda earnings
“they can’t trade options on SQQQ anymore and we ruined the liquidity on both TQQQ and SQQQ? send it to hell”
Once the $SPY reaches its 200 DMA I start to add. Until then I will continue to trade the $SQQQ and short Scam Altman's fave stocks with inverse ETF's. I did add a bit to $TLT this week. J-Pow will be forced to cut interest rates in December. The Fed always cuts with rising unemployment and a tanking stock market.
of course fucking SQQQ and UVIX split before the smol short 😡
taking away SQQQ options from me rn is like taking the rock right out of the crackhead's hand
I swear if this sell off is because of the TQQQ stock split and SQQQ reverse split 😭
Sold SQQQ at the top for a 0.5% profit . Cry.
SQQQ 440% lol. Someone is shorting bigly
