What's the purpose? To have the best rate of return in the class over a 2 week period? And you get the highest grade if you get the best? What if you get the lowest, do you get the lowest grade? I don't think I'm following the logic of the professor here- investing is a long term game. I'd argue if you're looking to "win" the two week period, go with TQQQ which aims to give investors 3x return on the Nasdaq 100 (tech heavy). However, the 3x return also has a consequence if the index drops, so that's why I asked if the lowest return gets the lowest grade. Some other ideas for you to look into over the next few weeks: SBUX, CCI, CMG, DLTR

Those of us who lived through the Dot Com Bubble, myself included are certainly going to have legitimate concerns about market being overvalued. I manage those risks by splitting my portfolio in two buckets 🪣. About 80 % percent I keep in a portfolio with guidance from TheAroraReport.Com  Their model portfolio has lot of built in hedging strategies. They are also concerned about market being overpriced. But their hedging strategies help manage the risks. The other 20 % I use scalping strategies using TQQQ/SQQQ, SOXL/SOXS, TSLA- TSLL/ TSLS etc. But every one’s concern of Market being in a Bubble is definitely legitimate. In regular brokerage accounts I rather pay taxes on profits rather than lose the money.

I like the leveraged ETF weeklies atm… have done well with TQQQ and NVDL…. Also started diversifying - IBIT, XLE, random safe stocks with decent IV, and some momentum plays (CSP on GOOGL, MU, etc)… Leaps, look for companies or etfs that had a big drop but solid fundamentals… got in on JNJ leaps when they hit mid 140’s, MU, XLE, OXY, and some others… meant to get on GOOGL leaps but got side tracked

SecureCheesecake7923

It’s nice to see there are other people profiting from TQQQ and others like me struggling with SOXL. I use TQQQ/SQQQ, SOXL and SOXS, Sometimes TSLA/TSLL and TSLS for daily scalping strategy. I net 2 to 5 % return per trading day. Past Friday I made 14 percent in TSLL. For a day’s work that was not bad. I have some part of the portfolio in long term model portfolio that I learn from a very good service I subscribe to. But scalping SOXL/SOXS etc has been the most profitable for me 

SlogTheNog

TQQQ isn't a growth position and holding it over long times exposes you to unacceptable risks inherent to the model of the ETF. It is totally inappropriate for your stated purpose. 

Stonks303

Hey thanks for your comment. I've been risking like $1.25 to $3.50 depending on liquidity of the strikes. I'll open up to 3 at a time. This is partially a gambling account but I also want to learn *The Art Of The Trade*. Sometimes I go for $0.25 but reduce it to $0.15 or even $0.10 if the stock isn't moving much. The goal is to get in and out, but I have time if the market just instantly gets away from me. And this particular account holds a mix of long term QQQ and gambling. I've just held a lot of TQQQ from 2022 till this summer and I'm kind of looking for some until we see a pull back to where I can put TQQQ back to work or even just go with long calls.

OMG if you only new. Different as night and day. A retail investor can actually make money and a lot of it. May Day brought the biggest boon for retail investors, but so did options, and telephones that had private lines. You just do not know how great it is now. Yet most are clueless still as much as they were back then. Perhaps more so. Now days everyone goes on about owning the SPY or VOO, but TQQQ is the best performer of them all.

etaoin314

First WRT my first paragraph this strategy does exactly as I describe. It uses TQQQ whenever there is a bullish signal. But then goes risk off when bearish signals present themselves. the leveraged strategy is basically what op was proposing, and the graph shows you exactly why it is so dangerous. It took 15 years to recover. While the SMA strategy looks lovely here, the last twentyfive years have been a perfect settup for it with huge drops and massive recoveries. I bet if you looked a that same strategy in a choppy sideways market (a very strong possibility with Trump at the helm) your returns dont look so rosy. backtesting can only tell you so much. this is a super aggressive strategy and if you get all your entries and exits right you can make a killing, however telling such young trader with no experience to engage in such a high risk strategy seems totally reckless to me. that kid (as would anyone in his position) would lose his shirt in a year.

I been prospering heavily from UNH getting in at 280 , buying shares and bought some calls at 320 , also TQQQ bought shares back at 90 and been selling OOM calls at 95 strike. Also bought NVAX back at 7.30 and ran it up to 8.04 sold some and then sold some calls on the excess. This is a money making market right now, and my entire portfolio is up 8% since middle of last week. Cant be angry about anything right now. I will be curious to see if the fed cut the rate . Half percent, 1/4 percent.. who knows.. but the market seems to think there will be some kind of cut.

LargeSinkholesInNYC

Put 70% in the stock market, and whenever it dips, you put the rest into a leveraged ETF like TQQQ.

etaoin314

whoa....hold your horses there. TQQQ is not a good match for your strategy. if the market goes down 33.3% you lose your entire investment and it never comes back even if the market does. Leveraged etfs are not a good option for a buy and hold strategy. They should only be used for short bursts when you are confident that up is the primary direction that things are going. if you have a leveraged product and the market just goes sideways for a year or two (not even down) you will lose part of your investment because of something called volatility drag. just keep it simple and go 100% into FXIAX. you are starting early enough that this is basically a sure thing. You will have enough to retire early as long as you are not greedy. Greedy people never have enough to retire either because enough is never enough, or because their greed led them to try to get more and they lost it all. pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. dont be a hog. live below your means, get a job with a 401k and use it. leave the fancy stuff for others to lose money on. the more shiny and tempting it is the more likely you should stay away from it. just my 2 cents

If you're willing to ride 30-50%+ drawdowns, buying calls on things that are bound to go up isn't a bad strategy. Just make sure that the IV is priced "cheaply" enough. IE: Look at TQQQ vs QQQ over the last decade. TQQQ - 20k%. QQQ - 1k%

I sell TQQQ options.... Mondays... due Friday. Today I sold 135 TQQQ $93 covered calls for $2.40 while TQQQ was trading at $93.8x.... If my shares get called away I will sell cash-covered puts next Monday. I still find it hard to believe how much money I am getting (for a couple of months now) compared to what the banks pay in interest.

Fun-Sundae4060

Single-stock LETFs are indeed bad for long-term holds since they are often beyond the efficient frontier of leverage and are not diversified. However for diversified ETFs, there is lesser idiosyncratic risk and less volatility which expands the efficient frontier of leverage and lets you take advantage of being diversified and amplifying the returns on a diversified position. For SPY, this efficient frontier lies right around 3x and for QQQ it’s closer to 2x. People are also very misguided on LETF investing here since it’s relatively niche and people don’t really understand the exact way the leverage works against and for you in an LETF since there is a bit of nuance from the daily resetting that is both very beneficial in the long term but also introduces “volatility decay” that people here become hyperfixated on without knowing the positive side of it. Here is an example of why leveraged ETF investing is superior even with max drawdown taken into consideration through some major financial crises: TQQQ, gold, managed futures, bonds strategy with 200SMA switch Results with dotcom bubble and 2008 GFC: Strategy: https://testfol.io/tactical?s=2Qt4zrwoJ0m Standard ETFs: https://testfol.io/?s=9giBG7lgiNi

Q's in an easy to trade range..Right now we're near the upper edge. Sold my TQQQ. Will enter again at the bottom of the range, or confirmed breakout, whichever comes firt

MORICtrash

hellno. Do not go that crazy on Nvidia. Also adding more stocks could benefit you. Or if you wanna spice things up just invest in QQQ, and when it drops a lot move part of it into TQQQ to position urself for a bounce-back. Yes, you might need to sell at a loss and will be painful to see realizing a random -20k loss but when your TQQQ positing bounces back you will be doubling your remaining inheritance money. (Ofc, use at least some oversold indicators on a long-term chart like daily, but also read the news and some sentiment indicators and judge accordingly). If you feel like it is too much hassle, then just keep in in QQQ

k0unitX

Option buyers think that the contract should/will be worth more than what it is currently trading for, and option sellers think the opposite. It's two parties making a bet that they have more alpha than the person on the other end of that trade If you believe in efficient market theory, assuming both parties aren't insider trading, neither of them have any alpha; over time, both buying and selling options is capital neutral sans trading fees & borrow rates (leverage is not free: see BOXX) Option buyers want leverage and option sellers want less volatility. Using recency bias and claiming "MSTY is stupid because MSTR outperforms" is like saying "QQQ is stupid because TQQQ outperforms". No shit, sherlock, the product with more leverage outperforms during bull markets Or inversely, if it was January 2023, I could use recently bias to claim "I sold all of my QQQ for JEPQ; look at the 2022 chart!"

Boys4Ever

All those sell points were opportunities to exit and buy back lower or stay out if rebound wasn’t happening. No such thing as too big to fail and one of the next drops might be its last. Only negative I have with DCA which benefits from these pullbacks until it doesn’t. Why I’d rather trade QQQ knowing if one of those exits stay an exit as another replaced likely long before it reached a point of no return. Especially actively traded TQQQ and why I stopped being an investor too focused on taxes vs exponential growth from these pullbacks regardless of cause.

bro_curls

Very nice. I got burned (luckily only lost $230) doing NVDA puts last week during earnings and doing ODTE TQQQ. I took a step back and realized I'm better suited for LEAPs calls on the Mag7 and it's paying off much better.

BigAkitaDawg

Were you full margin TQQQ?

Professional_Con_007

Do TQQQ instead

Fickle_Sheepherder97

There are websites specifically for this exact purpose. Barchart and optionistics come to mind. But remember high iv = high premiums. I have found some leveraged etfs can have enough liquidity and volume to generate 10-20% months. Typically use 14-30dte contracts which allows for flexibility for rolling. TSLL, SOXL, TQQQ, BITX, NUGT, NVDL, etc

SecureCheesecake7923

I think TQQQ is excellent as long as it is a small portion of your total portfolio. TQQQ holding for the long term can be treacherous even though when you back test it to 2008, you do beat QQQ’s by a wide margin. I don’t if I have the testicular fortitude to hold TQQQ for the long haul 

chatrep

I am staying current on negative but there is almost a counter to everything. I invested through the dot com bust and this is nothing like it. Was heavily on stocks like pets.com (sock puppet) and etoys. There was a joke about etoys making up negative margin with volume. These were quick IPO’s losing millions. Nothing like the massive profits of companies like NVDA today. PE is high because quality of companies and earnings are also at record highs. Housing is softening a bit and more inventory but really regional. Some markets like Austin overshot and are correcting. I’m in Raleigh and things are about flat. This was probably needed as housing orice increases were getting out if hand. But again, not at any sort of recession level. Yields have been dropping and fed rate cut pricing in and home builder stocks starting to rise again. Jobs is trending down but unemployment still decent. If we start to approach 5.5 then I worry bit more. To answer your question, S&P is at 9.6% ytd. I think we go up modestly (some modest ups and downs) and end the year at 12%. Next year more choppy and ip maybe 8% (below 10% average). But will closely watch for inflation to creep in. Stagflation would be awful. Now, as a backup, I am watching QQQ… if it drops 20 or maybe 25% from ATH, I may go heavily into TQQQ at that time :)

sharpetwo

The short answer: DCA smooths your entry, it does not change the underlying drag. In leveraged structures, path matters more than price target. Averaging down does not magically fix the math of leverage. With leveraged etfs the drag comes from path dependency meaning, volatility harvests you over time because the product is forced to rebalance daily. ZEBRAs do not rebalance like an ETF, but the leverage is still there: bigger swings, faster drawdowns. If you DCA into drops, you are just increasing exposure into a falling tape. That can look brilliant if the trend resumes, or catastrophic if the drawdown persists. It is not eliminating decay, it is doubling down on timing. The reason QLD looks better than TQQQ is simply that the higher the leverage, the harsher the volatility tax. You cannot average that out of existence. You can only size smaller, or accept that leveraged bets need strong trends to survive.

Radiant-Size8096

Using TQQQ, an index, eliminates the need to find the right share, also low volatility....

Radiant-Size8096

I am doing something similar: I sell 1-week TQQQ out-of-the-money, close to the money cash covered puts. This has worked the last four months. I will stop when it does not work any more.

chatrep

Lot of luck. Lot of gut punches too. This particular IRA account was old and I decided to use my aggressive tactics here. I do momentum trading and really got lucky picking stocks like NVDA, TSM, PLTR, HOOD. In March after that huge drop, I felt it was an over reaction. I didn’t have money to buy the dip so I increased leverage. Sold stocks and bought leaps. Now I’m reversing away from options back to stocks. I am the type of person if QQQ drops 20-25% and there is panic, I go all-in on TQQQ. Part of me is saying to keep doing what I’m doing as it’s been working. But the saner part of me is freaked out by the bigger numbers and moving towards safety now.

I started investing in TQQQ and UPRO about 3 years ago. Recently sold most of TQQQ and moved that money to QQQ. What I realized is that, those leveraged ETFs are good when index already bitten down 10-15-20% vs investing at ATH. Whenever market going down, these levergaed ETF would lose alot more. Not sure I am explaining it correctly but TQQQ and QQQ doesn't go proportionally in long term.

Hell, TQQQ has obliterated the market since inception, but again, likely a terrible investment to be 100% in for 30 years.

Short TQQQ

Rav_3d

I have no qualms using 3X leveraged ETFs for trading or juicing longer term returns. The key is to manage risk when the bad times come. People who just hold these things all the way down in a bear market baffle me. By March 2022 it was clear the market was in a downtrend, with QQQ failing to regain its 200-day moving average. This was textbook bear market action. TQQQ was down nearly 30% by that point, but investors who heeded the warnings could have saved themselves an *additional* 70% drawdown. So, by all means, consider leveraged ETFs as part of your portfolio. Just don't fall asleep at the wheel.

SwissCheeseMan26

Rav_3d

Back test. Look at 2022. Can you handle losing more than half your money in a bear market? Or in the case of TQQQ, 80% of your money?

StoicKerfuffle

What do you mean by "the math on leverage?" A call option on TQQQ is not going to behave like a 300x QQQ stock. It's going to follow delta/theta/vega/etc, albeit on a leveraged underlying, and the underlying itself is not going to follow 3x QQQ exactly beyond a single day. That said, if you think the market's going to moonshot, then, sure, yolo TQQQ calls, you'll be able to generate substantial leverage. Although honestly what I think you should do is take some time learning about the YieldBOOST ETFs. Don't blindly buy them. What I mean is, learn how they work, and watch how their performance relates to the underlying, because they're doing something in the realm of what you're thinking about: they sell put credit spreads on a leveraged ETF. For example, YSPY sells put credit spreads on SPXL which is a SPX 3x bull ETF.

cheddarben

Here is a fun one. Lets say you decide to put X dollars in TQQQ in 1999 (it didn't exist then, but lets pretend). Then the 2000 thing happened. The Nasdaq 100 dropped about 83%. Now for the fun part. Triple -83% is ________? Lets do the same thing in 2008. QQQ (which did exist -- not TQQQ) dropped about 42% in 2008. Triple -42% is __________. Lets say a person hypothetically started putting 1000/month dollars away in TQQQ (which didn't exist then) in 1970. By 2008, you would have ZERO dollars. 38 years of investing and you would be at zero dollars. To be fair, if you did that up until today, you would have about a million bucks if you invested 1000/month since its inception date in 2010. So... in 2025 you would have just over a million bucks if you followed this strategy like a religion. Had you been investing in a hypothetical SPY from 1970 on the same amount, you would have several million. To be clear, we can really use any starting date before 2000, as you would be zeroed out with that bubble and then again in 2008. Oh... yeah, you would have been wiped out in 1987, as well. The risk of investing in a tool like TQQQ is that you could be absolutely wiped out on any given black monday.

AlGAdams

Don't worry when I win Im putting it all in 0DTE calls on TQQQ.

RogueSoldier10012

Also be careful that these leveraged funds don’t compound to the same all-time high when the underlying ETF rebounds to its all-time high. TQQQ was around $90 before crashing to <$20 and then only rebounded to about $60 when QQQ was fully recovered. You don’t just need a rebound in the ETF, you need more uninterrupted record highs. It’s the classic “higher risk, higher return” situation.

Vilan-Kaos

Leverage ETFS has decay so you might find it doesn't track the index well. All time high on QQQ =/= all time high on TQQQ.

forayem

I mean, the odds of this happening are quite high during a recession, no? "Risk would be if market crashes and I use up all the buying power and it crashes more and doesn’t recover for a long time and I get fired from my job cause recession hits." TQQQ is not a long-term play. What you are doing here is using hindsight to look at a moment that has happened in the recent past to make it fit your narrative. Of course it's easy to do that in hindsight. It could just as easily not have played out like that. We've been conditioned to just buy every dip, as the market has just shot back up in almost no time at all in recent living memory. It's not always like that.

XXXMrHOLLYWOOD

I mean you just use the 200 sma with an additional sell command if it goes 25% over the 200sma then you can literally hold it forever with no risk of it having a 50%+ drawdown That strategy with SPXL or TQQQ will absolutely obliterate any other un leveraged index over any long term time span in any trading environment
