I just bought NVDA on margin, sold my car for calls, and put a second mortgage into TQQQ. The future is secure. Ill be retired in a month

mdh1119

been selling off my TQQQ into this rally because once again it makes zero sense given the facts

RoaringPity

Unfortunately I'm not that smart - I swing trade TQQQ. Right now my avg is like 49$. TQQQ is high risk for me so it's part of my "yolo" port aka small position. In hindsight I obviously wish I put my life savings in it but, life

Man, I ran across this searching for TNA threads…if anyone went in on this TQQQ, TMF, UPRO rebalancing portfolio they got smoked. -70% Jan ‘22 to Dec ‘22 and still has not recovered even though the 15 year backtested annual return is still 19% due to the pre 2022 gains. Since 2022 it has basically gotten you the same as 500 index fund returns with a lot more risk.

SureAce_

Depends how risky you want to go. Everybody has a strong stomach till problems start to arise. SSO, SPXL, TQQQ, leveraged ETFs. If your looking for just a growth fund then VUG. You could also look into leveraged stocks as well. Not familiar with those though.

Fun-Sundae4060

TQQQ and BTC hedged with CTA, ZROZ, and GLD.

Can you name one start up company now which can be 10000% after 10 years and invest $10000 now? This is the major issue! I bought NVDA 500 shares at $48 and 600 shares of TSLA at 41, never held but sold when it jumped 300% However, this gave me good idea to buy and hold. But whatever I hold jumped meager amount ! Bought 1000 shares ACHR at $3, sold 500 at $7, but not growing more than $10. Same way, bought 1000 shares of PL, holding, never know future! Same way timing swing is an issue, still trying to swing TQQQ, SOXL and TMF. I may know what works after few years.

Cautious-Invite4128

I sold all my TQQQ and SPYU yesterday afternoon. I’m keeping my long-held QQQ and VOO, as I’ve done during previous moments of volatility. So, depends on the stock. I’m selling everything bullish that’s also leveraged. I never intended to keep those longterm, anyway. Just riding a wave for a couple weeks.

MangoAtrocity

*glances at $TQQQ gains* I mean.

CrushingCabbages

TQQQ not a stock but it triples the nasdaq. We're mooning

Tricky_Statistician

Agreed - just loaded TNA and TQQQ with some cash I had in my 401k. 100% long plus some of that is leveraged etfs, and I have been rolling weekly crash puts

hftrobo9285

Wait for the next crash and buy TQQQ ATM calls 3 month expiry

John-AtlasGames

Chickening out. Sold my positions in SSO and TQQQ. Can use the gains to offset the stupid TSLA puts expiring tomorrow.

jil2507

You do not need such expensive tools, just read some good valuation books. I like accounting for value by stephen penman, nice one, bought from used amazon books. I do some homework about companies and invest in individual stocks while I trade 3x etfs such as TQQQ,SOXL, TMF etc. This trading knwoledge helped me to understand the market and when the market is at low ebb, I buy my favorite DD companies. This works are mostly. For example, I bought PFE around $18 (waited for a long time to go below $20), CRWV around 37.5 (just after IPO) and PL around $5 this year pick.

SunTintFlorida

How big is your bank roll? I think you are correct in your assessment of Selling vs Buying. Buying a Call hoping the stock goes up and you 4x your money is much riskier than own 100 shares of a dividend paying stock and selling a Call and collecting the Premium. I've been running the so called Wheel by selling Calls above where I don't think the stock will go and by selling CSP below where I think it will be in the next 10 - 21 days and collecting premium and dividends along the way. It's not sexy but I'm avaeraging about 10% per 6 months. (I'm not sure how to calculate ROI% so I use Net Premium collected / Portfolio Value.) For example, I Sold to Open 10 different Calls & Puts with 4 to 11 DTE on MSFT, GD, MMM, AMZN, ORLY, NVDA, TQQQ for $1,450 in Premium and collected $480 in Dividends on Monday. I don't expect anything to be assigned but I'm OK if anything is assigned. They are not all going to be winners. I don't watch the market during the day and only check in after work. Good luck. \*Not ffinancial advice, don't listen to me, past performance is no guarantee o ffuture results.\* \*\*I'm not selling anything and I don't recommend buying courses.

Just swing trade TQQQ and SQQQ. Make 1-8% a day. All you have to do is time it right.

careyectr

Why QLD can make a compelling “best‑ETF” argument QLD gives you a clean, daily‑reset 2× exposure to the Nasdaq‑100, meaning every 1 % move in the index aims for roughly a 2 % move in your favor without the hassle (or interest cost) of margin borrowing. Because it is only 2×, it avoids much of the volatility drag that plagues 3× products while still delivering meaningful torque to big secular themes like AI, cloud, and semiconductor growth.   Over time that balanced leverage has paid off: QLD’s 10‑year compound annual return sits near 29 %, dwarfing the S&P 500’s ~11 % over the same span, and it has roughly $9 billion in assets with a tight 0.95 % expense ratio, keeping trading spreads thin and liquidity abundant for both shares and options.   Put differently, QLD offers a “sweet‑spot” blend of outsized upside, deep liquidity, and manageable day‑to‑day swings compared with 3× funds like TQQQ, making it a powerful single‑ticket choice for investors who already have high conviction in the tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100 and are willing to monitor a leveraged position. Just remember that any geared ETF magnifies losses as well as gains, so position sizing and periodic rebalancing remain essential. 

Tricky_Let2806

If you trade and not just index hug, put the risky positions in Roth or 401k so you don’t have to worry about tax gains or losses when constantly entering and exiting positions For example I now put my TQQQ etc in the 401k and put my core long term stuff (SPY) in personal

Majestic_Sympathy162

My TQQQ hopes you're the more regarded of us.

BigPPDaddy

Would've been funnier if it was TQQQ tbh

Fun-Sundae4060

The long term strategy is to buy TQQQ above 200SMA and sell below it for QQQ instead. Blindly buying dips doesn’t work out so well.

Me-Regarded

Somehow I'm in SQQQ AND TQQQ at the same time

Fun-Sundae4060

With the strategy I use the dotcom bubble was only a 50% drawdown versus a 99.9% for pure TQQQ. COVID was about 30%, 2022 about 35%. Basically not that bad at all. SP500 for reference took a 60% hit in 2008

Oh_he_steal

So in other words, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. In that case why not just go 100% TQQQ? You’ll destroy everyone during bull markets.

Fun-Sundae4060

Oh it actually works lol. Just don’t literally be 100% TQQQ, you need a hedged portfolio and 200SMA switching strategy. It actually beats buy and hold SP500 handily at the cost of greater volatility. Even including dotcom crash and 2008

IDreamtIwokeUp

For those that don't know...TQQQ is in essence QQQ + 3x leverage. Good when the markets go up...and really bad when markets go down. It is risky and the highs don't match the lows.

Cultural_Structure37

Applying valuation metrics to TQQQ has to be the height of degeneracy

Fun-Sundae4060

TQQQ. Extremely undervalued

Time_Ear_2428

The risk reward actually makes complete sense. If you took the 10 year cagr of TQQQ and had lump sum bought and held $1,000 in 2015 it would be nearly $1M today. Maximum loss 1,000 with potential gain of 999,000? This is a well calculated bet for someone in their 20s/30s….

WallStreetMarc

I researched on leverage ETF that beats its counterpart historically. TQQQ, TECL, UPRO and SPXL are the ones I trade. TQQQ is great to sell puts at different expiration and strike prices. I close out most of my trades when RSI is high. I also buy the shares and sell covered calls. With TQQQ I don’t have to worry about earnings or company’s event. Out of all the leverage ETFs, TQQQ is the most liquid.

my AI overlord says: Turning $250K into $1 million is ambitious—but absolutely possible with the right mix of strategy, time, and risk tolerance. Let’s break down a few realistic paths someone could take, depending on how fast they want to get there and how much risk they’re willing to stomach: 🧠 Option 1: The Long Game (10–15 Years) - Approach: Invest in a diversified portfolio of broad-market ETFs like VTI, QQQ, or SCHG. - Expected Return: ~8–10% annually (historical average) - Outcome: At 10% annual growth, $250K becomes $1M in ~15 years. - Risk: Moderate. Market volatility, but historically reliable over time. ⚡ Option 2: Accelerated Growth (5–10 Years) - Approach: Tilt toward high-growth sectors like tech (SMH, AIQ), clean energy (QCLN), or biotech (XBI). - Expected Return: 12–15% annually (with higher volatility) - Outcome: $250K could 4x in 8–9 years if trends hold. - Risk: Higher. Sector-specific downturns can delay or derail progress. 🎯 Option 3: Aggressive Strategy (3–5 Years) - Approach: Mix of individual high-growth stocks, 0DTE options, or leveraged ETFs like TQQQ or SOXL. - Expected Return: Potentially 25–40%+ annually—but highly variable. - Outcome: $250K could hit $1M in 3–4 years, but with serious drawdown risk. - Risk: Very high. One bad year could cut the portfolio in half. 🏘️ Bonus Option: Real Estate or Business - Approach: Use $250K as a down payment on income-generating property or seed capital for a business. - Upside: Leverage and cash flow can accelerate returns. - Risk: Depends on execution, market, and management. If this were a real scenario, I’d suggest building a tiered plan: anchor with stable ETFs, layer in some growth, and carve out a small slice for high-risk/high-reward plays. Want to sketch out a sample portfolio or timeline based on one of these paths?

Sell all, reinvest all into TQQQ

chopsui101

lol only you can say if you are taking to much risk. I'm the wrong person to ask about risk. I have 2 IRA's. One is 89% in TQQQ and the other is 60/40 TQQQ/SOXL

Fun-Sundae4060

TQQQ and LETF subs have several multimillionaires lol

Radiant-Size8096

I am not concerned. I think the July 4th optimism will push prices a bit higher... if I am wrong, on July 13th I will sell TQQQ July 18 at-the-money covered calls. I only sell TQQQ options: no stock selection problems, I do not buy options.

Radiant-Size8096

I only know of one post that does not show, I am not sure whether it was removed or whether it never posted. I also offer to email my trades when I make them (unless there are too many requests). My email address is in my previous post. (I only sell TQQQ at-the-money options, I do not buy options)....

Fhyzikz

For real. Fed should've just put it all in TQQQ calls on "Now is a great time to buy" day. Are they stupid?

I_HopeThat_WasFart

So you are trying to convince us you tied up over 800k capital in TQQQ, going into tariff expirations, a huge bill costing the economy over $5T over 10 years having just passed... It will stop working when all your capital is tied up from assignment and you are holding a bag in a falling market, and you are forced to hold until a recovery. Your paper trading account will never recover

InvisibleEar

If I'd listened to reddit I'd have bought TQQQ a month ago!?

External-Conflict500

Just do options and play with leveraged ETFs. SQQQ or TQQQ. Can easily turn 10K into couple of million within a year or two. All you have to do it time it right...

$181k in treasuries suggests you dont have much of a risk appetite, but you also reject a simple large fund play as not being riaky enough. So it's a little difficult to make a recommendation. For more risk, you could consider TQQQ. Just pray there isn't a pull back in the shirt term as you'll see that money halved.

SOXL and TQQQ are free money

dontlistentome55

Stock market is at ATH again, time for some TQQQ posts 🍿

ChairmanMeow1986

If it never drops yes, but with leveraged funds drops don't recover at the same rate due to volatility drag. Compounding effects cause leveraged funds to erode value over time if the market is volatile or choppy. Let's take a -10% drop to a 11.11% recovery to end flat. QQQ goes from (100 to 90 to 100) a leveraged fund. TQQQ goes -30% to 33.33% (100 to 70 to 93.33) leaving you 6.67% down compared to the un-leveraged fund. Hope that helps you understand the dangers of leveraged funds and why they shouldn't be viewed as long-term investments.

ranting_chef

I bought some TQQQ at the end of 2018. Not a ton, but enough that I wouldn’t have lost my ass if it tanked. Maybe 5% of my portfolio at the time. At one point around the end of 2021, it was over 800%. Then it plummeted and it was almost break even. Now it’s back up over 600%. I always sell some when it becomes too much of a percentage of the portfolio, but if you’re young and don’t need the money right away, it seems like a good one to hold. Same with UPRO.

SuperSultan

You are maximizing your downside risk holding TQQQ, especially if it’s the tail end of a bull market. It’s leveraged QQQ. Don’t be blind to risks.

DorianSoundscapes

So you can do options on leveraged ETFs in your Roth, at least with fidelity. I have a TQQQ call sitting in my right now. 😂

1ThousandDollarBill

You just fill out an application in the app. It won’t let me do leveraged stuff like TQQQ

Mr_sayso

TQQQ

phr3dly

You're joking, but on an episode of ... something... Odd Lots, Money Stuff, maybe? There was a fund manager who shorted both TQQQ and SQQQ to make money off the decay. IIRC he was getting a pretty reliable 10% with low volatility.

fuzzywuzzy123

TQQQ and SOXL from 2013 to 2022 would beg to differ 😉 Just don’t hold it them until major trend reversals, like the one we are experiencing now!

Turbulent_End_6887

The best levered etf is TQQQ. Its decay is low, as it remains at 2x QQQ after 15 years. No others do that.

Gadshill

Ok, promise to tell me when you do want to buy. When you do, but a double or tripled leverage ETF like TQQQ, QLD, SPXL or SSO.

trafficjet

Leaning fully into TQQQ now is basically saying “I trust nothing bad happens and the party keeps going exactly like this,” which… bold move. thing is, all the complcency you just listed? that's when risk tnds to hide in plain sight, right before someone plls the rug. and if you're riding leverage with no clear exit plan, one fat red week could sting way more than you're pricing in. what’s the gut check hereare you genuinely seeing near-term upside you don’t wanna miss, or just chasing FOMO while telling yourself it’s a thesis?

fallingdowndizzyvr

The charts account for that. Otherwise they would be pretty meaningless. It would also be pretty obvious. Since on one day you would just see a vertical line down. Do you see any? https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TQQQ/

chopsui101

you account for the 4-1 split that TQQQ has done since 2021?

Buy TQQQ?

_lavender_blood

So if QQQ rises 0.1% you think TQQQ will outperform QQQ? Do you understand what would have to be the case for that to be true?

Will buying TQQQ right now fix my bear cringe

JayRoo83

SPXL/SPXS, TQQQ/SQQQ are my go tos

Fun-Sundae4060

VOO VT QQQM and SCHD basically all overlap with each other. You can condense into just VOO pretty much or QQQM for NASDAQ. Diversify into multiple asset classes such as gold, long dated US bonds, and managed futures. They should be a small percent of the portfolio. If your equity exposure is too low for your risk appetite you can use LETFs such as SSO/QLD (2x) or even UPRO/TQQQ (3x)

kinopu

Another liberation day event and your entire position in TQQQ will blow up to 0.

chopsui101

Don't buy TQQQ....I'm up a measly 49% for the year.....horrible investment lol

Fun-Sundae4060

You have an investing account? Learn as much as you can about personal finance, debt, investing, and compounding returns. At your age I would really advocate for a heavily weighted portfolio of equities. Leveraged ETFs if you can stomach it. Something like TQQQ but QQQ if you really don’t want leverage. Hedge with GLD, ZROZ, and CTA. Those are precious metals (gold), long term US treasury bonds, and managed futures respectively. They serve to hedge your main position of equities and provide dry powder when equities are down.

Charliebush

OP is asking about holding it until year end, not long term. I bought $TQQQ on 4/4 and am still holding. Currently up 92.03%. Over the same time frame, $QQQ is up 29.67%. TQQQ is a perfectly fine tool to hold during bull market. It may not maintain 3x, but it will surely outperform the underlying asset. Back test it if you don’t believe me.

Aristide_Torchia

I don't touch TQQQ or SQQQ because I have been burned enough times to learn.

Healthy_Peanut6753

Yes, I used to work at ProShares - the issuer of TQQQ. It's short realized vol. In a rising market, it will outperform QQQ by more than 3x.

NextStepTexas

You realize TQQQ is DAILY leveraged... right? This is NOT a buy and hold fund.

hftrobo9285

My TQQQ calls will be on the moon by morning 🌝

buried_lede

Just a quick note, holding TQQQ for lengthy period was different when we had a 10 year bill market. Just my opinion, no expert, but seems not  as simple as then 

GenMassilia13

I made more with ORCL in the last 5 years than TQQQ

gigastonksmedia

I'd say the general consensus here is that VOO/SPY or an equivalent that tracks global as well as USA is the best bet; you can also go higher risk (TQQQ, UPRO) or lower risk (mix in some bonds) and expect comparable returns (although compounding over 30-40 years there's a huge difference between 6 and 8 percent).

dimethylhyperspace

This is how I know I'm tilted: I'm jacked to the tits with SOXL and TQQQ, and yet I'm mad about the one short position I have that is like 3% of my port by weight lmao

XXXMrHOLLYWOOD

Due to volatility decay as well as lending costs of TQQQ you would look to see a 2.4-2.8x return compared to QQQ over longer periods but this varies a lot due to a variety of factors

Fun-Sundae4060

It’s called TQQQ.

Gnaxe

Save all $500 every month! You'll have a couple thousand in four months. Why is this hard? ... Oh. You want an *income* of about $2,000/mo and only have $500/mo currently. Um, OK. SVOL, one of the highest-income funds that might actually be sustainable, usually pays about $0.30/mo per share in dividends. You've already got $500/mo, so you need another $1500/mo. That would take around 5,000 shares. SVOL currently costs $17.82, so you'd just have to buy $89,100 worth, right now. It's a risky fund BTW. YMMV. But it seems like it should mostly work. But income is kinda dumb, when growth is tax-free until you sell. Maybe buy TQQQ instead. Or better yet, short SQQQ. Not such a tax advantage when shorting, I think, but making the vol drag is probably worth it. Beware borrow costs though. That's what, 60% CAGR if you keep compounding? It's not super consistent. Average in over at least a year though, because drawdowns are *extreme*. Like 75%. $30k ought to do it. Wait, we've only got 6 months? Oh. You don't even have that much to invest? Are we starting from zero here? Seems like you'd need to win a reckless YOLO gamble to win that big that fast. Short squeeze. Penny stocks. Crypto. Or learn day trading overnight and join a prop firm. These approaches are not likely to work, but nothing short of them has any chance of meeting your unrealistic goals.

That_anonymous_guy18

Well there is truth to that, but if you are young and you keep DCAing and your returns will be insane. Checkout TQQQ vs QQQ

Degen55555

I was looking into something similar to improve my existing strategy but seeing SSO trails SMH (safer for buynhold, nonleverage) so I wasn't exactly impressed with holding leveraged etfs. If you want to try, and it is the best I have found so far is using a spy signal instead of qqq signal, and exactly close above or below 200 day moving average, and not 5% or 3%. Also, you want to trade with QLD instead of TQQQ. I found this to be tolerable. I'm still thinking about it.

XXXMrHOLLYWOOD

To automate it It might be a bit tricky because the indicator is being used on QQQ but you want to be actually trading TQQQ but I’m sure theres a creative workaround out there I just haven’t tested it yet personally
