I'm not too sure but think you just buy 3 call options on TQQQ... better ask OP.
Here is a tip. Buy $SOXL/TQQQ on the way up and $SOXS/SQQQ on the way down. Rinse and repeat. Guess what I did Thursday morning, exited $SOXL, and all those 2-3x leveraged and calls, and entered $SOXS. I am riding dirty, waiting on Monday. Learn to get out and in quickly.

Yeah you’re walking into the drug den here after school. ETFs are smart. You can always leverage it with TQQQ or whatever too If you play with options, just go slow. Like REALLY slow. $100 a month budget until you start making a profit. Better yet, paper trade with your current budget for a few weeks. Staring at graphs all day can help. You will lose your butt day trading though. The best thing you can do is wait imo. We just had a historic rally and a record breaking crash. Things are wildin rn. Discipline is the single best skill you can have here My hunch, stay half cash and come back 2-4 weeks from now. You might get to exit on a Monday/tuesday 🌮 but I foresee more tech pain coming up I think a space ETF will print with the spacex IPO btw
So none of you pussies bought TQQQ calls exp next week? You’re a disgrace to the Wendy’s uniform..
I bought TQQQ put 85 for .75 350 of them on thursday and then I sold them for 4.00 on friday kinda around 10pm they expired in 1 and half day based on the time I bought them. I usually play 1 week to 0 dtes. If I held by end of the day they would of been like 13.00 each which is insane to think about.
Man, March 12 and 13th of 2020 were great. I opened an account and put as much as I could into TQQQ
-20k today. I believe we will be back soon so threw a lot more free cash in TQQQ
Why not both? If you're more bullish on tech then higher allocation towards QQQM. Also check this post and put some in SPXL and TQQQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/WdzhQNf4JZ
Honest question. I bought 100 shares TQQQ at close today. Am I screwed? It was down a lot.
TQQQ AND SOXL? 😭😭😭 Why do you like pain?
TQQQ holder here. Loaded some more at close, but I have a feeling it's gonna dip further lmao
Where my TQQQ and SOXL holders at, I feel like 💩
I understand how they are used shirt term. Its still true if you would have invested $100 and never sold it, youd have about .08 worth now. Do people do that in short funds? Likely not, but people love to hold tqqq and it could do the same thing. It did something similar in 2000-2002. 10k invested in Jan 2 2000 in TQQQ, if it existed, would now be $5481 after 26 yesrs But overall it was a joke, just poking fun at the short funds
QQQ still shitting the bed after hours. I don't think we are done shitting the bed LOL. But I hope so for my TQQQ port
75 and 80 TQQQ puts were fucked today ngl. Grab some 70s at open and ride the wave I lost 37K today while have SOXL, SMH and TQQQ puts… 🤦
“VOO and a small amount of TQQQ” brother you are still gambling. I am not your financial advisor, but I see that your portfolio is still expected to move over a thousand dollars on a volatile day. In my mind you’ve already relapsed. I’ve been there man, and IMO it has to be cold turkey everything withdrawn no access to trading/casinos. Once you see TQQQ pop up or down you’ll want to jump back in and won’t be able to stop yourself. As a fellow problem gambler, I encourage you to try and fully commit. You still have a good chunk of savings relative to this world and can afford to decompress, take a week off sick, do something in nature. Anything to help it truly be cold turkey. You can invest later in a non trading 401k or IRA brokerage like vanguard.
I’m glad I bought TQQQ puts to leap for two weeks. Seeing post go down another couple points…gobbless anyone who bought the dips and potato chips
I bought 5 TQQQ ODTE puts this morning for super cheap. On my bus ride to work, I saw the value falling during a small morning rise. And panic sold at cost. They rose to $9.3 at their peak. I could have netted $4,000 on this dreadful day.
Bears you sicken me. I get you need to eat but TQQQ down almost 15% in a day is sickening
Just bought 1 share of TQQQ to stop the bleeding, y'all welcome folks
Don't worry about what I'm gonna do. I'll do what I think is right for me. You're aware that historic price moves are no indication of future returns right? The whole thing was predicated on new buyers and institutional adoption. That's done now. Scarcity alone isn't going to drive prices as we've seen. 1k to 50k was a great ride. 50k to 100k was shit. I get more out of TQQQ. If 200k is the limit and that's a huge if, then this crap is played out...
TQQQ down 13% today. Thanks Cramer
DRAM, TQQQ, and SOXL baby
Where’s the CEO of TQQQ? Why isn’t he doing anything??
update on my 0dte yolo. sold for -120k: sold all my share holdings, even some at big losses. hate to sell on a red day like today but I cannot look at the market anymore Turned off margin, bought VOO and a small amount of TQQQ, started a transfer process to Fidelity and will close my RH account. 5.5 years done in 2 weeks.
Good move why to try pick a winner, for ETFs I bought TQQQ either I’m gonna get slaughtered or make some pizza money lmao
I had 10% of my port in TQQQ and I sold it for $87 on Tuesday. I feel like a genius
This reminds me of a -2.5% Friday on the Qs last September. I bought a bunch of TQQQ and 6 week calls around lunch and it was my best trade of the year. We’ll see.
Hey at least it wasn’t TQQQ.
ouch at least I have a couple puts on TQQQ now in the money that will have a jump at open, turns out that was a good bet
Legit question since I am still somewhat new to investing and trying to understand leverage. Would it be bad to go with TQQQ long term over QQQ if you believe in the ETF? I've invested $25k into QQQ 5 years ago and just went along my day. It's been the best thing in my portfolio over the last 5 years.
I think the last time reddit was this unanimously confident about a imminent crash was last April right before the market proceeded to go up 50%. Still holding some TQQQ since then lol
I’m not buying this. Just added TQQQ
Either the beginning of the end or the best entry since pre-April. Either way, I’ve made so much these last couple months that I honestly don’t mind losing $10k on TQQQ calls. Gotta risk it for the biscuit.
If you’re in QQQ/TQQQ you’re gonna feel a ton. But SPY impact won’t be huge. SP500 is free-float adjusted. SpaceX only plans to make what, 3-5% available? If that’s the case SPY will carry a weight of .08%-.14% I think. Check my math. So for every $100k in SPY, only $80-$120 will be invested in SpaceX. QQQ is really one of the funds I would actively look to move on from in short term.
A fellow TQQQ and SOXL maxi. Infinite riches for many years to come.
What I don’t understand is MUU and TQQQ say they aren’t for long term holding, yet here you are doing a long term hold and it’s clearly successful.
My TQQQ position is booming
Pretty much If you were even a little aggressive the last few months you made bank . I had money in amd MU amd and TQQQ and I jumped a couple hundred thousand to get into the millionaire club . All shares btw
15 days is still enough time on my $90 TQQQ calls right....?
Don't do options on TQQQ, it's plenty of leverage on its own and over leveraging can work against you heavily
“TQQQ Calls held overnight” Sir you are gambling in a bull market ofcourse you’re making money
* TQQQ: +122% Even if you bought at the top of the last sideways you are massively up. Thanks Fed for rewarding gamblers and turning everything into a casino.
No, TQQQ is a very long term strategy. It’s almost like buy and hold with some modifications
I wouldn’t say so. Historically backtested, even including the dotcom bubble the most efficient leverage on QQQ has been 2x not 1x. On SP500 it is 3x. TQQQ exceeds this for QQQ in the efficient frontier for leverage but it has worked well for the regimes past the dotcom bubble (even including GFC) So the answer is: it depends. For buy and hold, QLD is the best choice. For a strategy like 200SMA, TQQQ would be the better choice.
George Carlin used to say "anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac". Anyone who has $millions+ and puts it all in TQQQ is a maniac, sorry. It may be on a giant bull run now, but it also dropped as much as 80% as recently as 2023. This has got to be the best way to get wiped out, in search of that extra million that you won't be able to spend anyways.
Buy TQQQ at the 9 day moving avg and ride it higher Buy dips,,sell rips
If WVU wins the CWS I will full port into TQQQ
It’s a very similar strategy to SPY or QQQ. You can just buy and hold TQQQ as a bet that market growth outpaces expected volatility over the long run. There’s other strategies that are popular such as 200SMA which help reduce both max drawdown, reduce vol, increase sharpe at the expense of returns.
Define A LOT. Look, I get why it feels like a massive crowd is printing millions right now. When you look at r/TQQQ or the face-melting run semiconductors have had, it’s easy to think half the population made life changing money. But we need to be honest about what A LOT actually means here. Confusing a loud group of people with a large percentage of people is exactly how everyday investors get baited into taking stupid risks. >There’s people over on [r/TQQQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/TQQQ/) making several million in a few weeks when it took them many years to build up their first millions. To make millions in a few weeks, even on a 3x leveraged fund, you had to *already* have millions on the line. The market didn't make an average guy rich; it took someone who was already a multi-millionaire and made them wealthier. >Then there’s all the people who don’t post or don’t have a Reddit account just out in the wild that we don’t know about. Sure, plenty of people don't post on Reddit but math is math. Hard brokerage data shows the median account balance for normal people is under $10,000. The silent majority out in the wild made a few hundred or a few thousand bucks, not lifestyle-changing money. You are absolutely right about that employees at the companies mentioned are pulling massive bonuses. That is separate from investing. It just comes down to mixing up a massive crowd with a massive percentage. Because the market is global, you can easily point to 50,000 people who made a fortune on leverage or tech bonuses, and by raw volume, that looks like a lot but out of hundreds of millions of participants, they are still a microscopic fraction at the absolute apex of the financial world. The original post is still fundamentally correct. the overwhelming majority of everyday investors didn't make life-changing money because they simply didn't have the starting capital.
Some people are so far ahead on their cost basis it’d take an absolute monster of a bear market to get them down to cost basis. Another misunderstanding is that when QQQ drops 33% on any timeframe TQQQ is wiped, but that’s not true. It needs to drop 33% in a single day due to the daily leverage reset. Also the same reason in a bull market the gains are far above 3x even though it’s “only 3x”
I made over 3.4m on TQQQ Last 36 months
Whew. A LOT of people. There’s people over on r/TQQQ making several million in a few weeks when it took them many years to build up their first millions. Then there’s all the people who don’t post or don’t have a Reddit account just out in the wild that we don’t know about. People who were heavy on semiconductors really made it big, much more than even TQQQ. People working for SK Hynix, Samsung, TSMC, chip factories got enormous bonuses too.
You can kinda-semi-safely buy high risk bets with proper sizing and if the probability is clearly to your advantage. Here is my favorite set up, QQQ has 20% drawdown pretty much every year or 2 then recover. Whenever the QQQ went down 20%, I use 10% of my portfolio to buy TQQQ. If QQQ went down 30%, I allocate another 10% into TQQQ and that’s it. As soon as the underlying QQQ went back to previous level, I withdrawn my cost back to the core SPY and only leave profit in TQQQ.
About to get stopped out on TQQQ. Oh well. Trust your stop losses.
“He CAN keep getting away with it” All in TQQQ, TSLQ, SPCE, SPCX on IPO, MU, INTC, NVDA, AMD
If your previous trading already underperformed, I wouldn’t let one lucky TQQQ run convince you to scale that up with serious money. Leveraged ETFs are built for short-term exposure, not really for ‘buy it and forget it for a year’ money. If you want growth, the 40/40 QQQ/VOO idea plus a small sandbox for individual names is a lot more survivable than turning the whole $150k into a bigger version of the gamble that happened to work once.
Me personally i only use them as a gut check. "Computer, am i crazy to drop 1,000 dollars on the TQQQ call". I always let them talk me out of bad ideas rather than letting them make decisions for me. Anything in the line of stock tips is asking for disaster. "Am I overweighted here? Does it make sense to rebalance there" are all fairly safe questions to ask rather than asking anyone on this platform
TQQQ or UPRO feels a lot safer than IGV.
You’re right most ETFs like QQQ rebalance quarterly, not daily. The leveraged ones like TQQQ do daily, granted that’s a smaller subset. I suppose my more specific point is that it’s not necessarily going to all happen on day 15, but the “real price” driven by market discovery will only happen once the ETFs have the required weighting, the bulk of the insider selling is finished and a look at one or two quarters of financial statements. For a company with $41B in accumulated losses, those financial statements are going to matter quite a bit I would imagine.
I have way too many calls in NOW, ADBE, TSLA, HOOD, and TQQQ
You read my mind lol but really TQQQ is the shit. SOXL is also. If I didn’t have a massive drug problem I’d be fucking loaded already. I’m still able to afford $200 a day in drugs but if I put that in stocks I’d have a yacht. I

What would you sing at Karaoke if you’re a TQQQ holder? I don’t feel like a baller but it feels like one of those country songs where I have cold beer and a non fat woman with all teeth intact
Given how thin your investment strategy is I would highly recommend trimming and reallocating to QQQ, VOO, or VT based on how bullish you are on big tech/USA. The more you put into ETFs the less you'll worry about individual picks getting too bloated or huge drawdowns. You must first understand that chasing FOMO is the worst investment strategy because you'll trade mainly on emotion. Otherwise you'll just be ping-ponging back and forth, getting frustrated watching stocks skyrocket past your steady ship. If you want to time the market my best advice is to DCA but have a multiple for when the Fear and Greed index is in the red. Say you want to put in 1K every month, you do 1.5k when the F&G is in the red and 500 when it's in the green. Alternatively you can swap into a leveraged ETF like TQQQ (3x QQQ) when the index is on extreme fear and trade back into the regular QQQ once it's back in the green. These are some general ideas I use.
Come Monday $25,000 SGOV. I'm a bear and market is very high right now. But honestly... in 15 days if Fed keeps printing $12,500 VEU and $12,500 TQQQ.
Trading TQQQ, SOXL,(swing trades) for 70% return (Less risk compared to below one) Highest risk and reward here: spy calls (day trade) and 0DTE (rarely). This is tiny account, but highest return https://preview.redd.it/a1y0l0pd5a4h1.png?width=591&format=png&auto=webp&s=394319d6d31e14bbb4f658873766335ed1c59b69
My HSA went from 9000 to 70000 in three years invested in TQQQ. Something terrible will happen but good luck finding out what and when and by then it might be double again.
Put $25,000 in SGOV. Pray that Warsh does the right thing and starts to fix the Fed. Make it truly independent. Not just of politics but also the insatiable appetite of Wall St. Wait 17 days. If he doesn't or can't and printer is still on. Put half in VEU and half in TQQQ.
I read a post like this a few weeks ago guy sold all his TQQQ… he is “regarded” it I’m sure lmao
Use TQQQ as your checking and savings account
Didn't have the balls for that, but I did exit SOXL and TQQQ That's looking like an exhaustion gap
I'm too stupid, I only know how to do one thing and that's buying calls on TQQQ
I closed my Mondays yesterday early afternoon. If IV is low this AM and we are +/- 0.25% on the Qs around 10am EST, I’ll buy Wed OTM calls. I also have A BUNCH of 6/26 TQQQ 90s
Think the answer at this point is to actually just all in TQQQ on margin. It just keeps going up.
Get jacked to the tits on TQQQ calls at open This is financial advice
thinking of only doing TQQQ calls vs chasing all yall's tickers around.
Identify good long term positions and refocus. Stop chasing quick hits. 2022 was a tough year for example. Early 2022 I rolled over several 401K accounts into a traditional IRA. I was killing it in 2021 so I had this. By summer I had an unrealized loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars. About 1/3 of the IRA. So I took a step back and by the end of 2022 I sold everything and bought into MAG 7 and TQQQ. Started slow then started ramping up. By fall of 2023 I made up the loss. Then I traded around dips to bolster my positions and added more retirement dollars. Today I have tripled my original investment. When a strategy works you forget about opportunities missed. Cannot fix the past but can plan for the future.
My TQQQ calls are finally green again 🥹
lol yeah if he’s margined 2x if this shit drops another 25-50% he will be getting liquidation warnings and eventually margin called. I would never. IBKR has its margin maintenance rate at 25% so he won’t get fucked right away, but all it takes is one bad earnings or catalyst and say goodbye to your money. At this point why not just buy a 660/750 Call Spread for January 2028? https://preview.redd.it/26o6h4xjes3h1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5ae34a88862bf6cc8e957a9704d2aae683c1553 If it returns to its 52 Week High by January of 2028 you make 334k max profit off 25k assuming mid price That way you’re not risking a retarded amount on a stock that can go -50% and be bag holding. Put the other 125k of excess liquidity (I’m guessing his NLV is 150k less than margin) into something quality. Or at least if you’re gonna fuck around and degen max diversity it. NBIS, SOXL, DRAM, TQQQ, 2x MU, 2x MSFT, SIVE whatever your degen heart desires.
