Cannot beat the market but leverages are showing massive gains over market as far we can look back. Some can argue on imaginary backward projections, but the rules have changed to prevent sharp drops.

i wish i could by more TQQQ on margin but i have a margin call
I bought way too much TQQQ it seems
I sold TQQQ at 64.20 this morning. Too bad I held 2/3 of my position LOL
My hot take is that the election results are irrelevant. The market is pricing in uncertainty and any outcome will be a buy the news event. Q’s are hitting ATH by Xmas. 10% run up, 30% for TQQQ, even more for TECL.
I have a ton of calls, but some defensive, TQQQ ATM puts for 11/06 probably wouldn't be totally retarded if the markets sense uncertainty after the midterm results come in.
I’m in and out of TQQQ all the time but TECL has been fun lately
I’m getting into GGLL and TQQQ
Pocahontas rally. Santa rally. Calls every day. Full port TQQQ at close every night to grab the AH move. Retire.
Don't listen to these arrtards. If you started putting $1 each day intl TQQQ in 2022, you'd be up something like 276% If you increased that amount to $2 on days the QQQ was more than 5% bellow all-time highs, it's am absolutely bonkers number. Set up auto DCA daily or weekly with small amounts and don't look at it.
I'm banking on a 200 day MA bounce. Very tactical entry point. Bought long synthetics on SOXL and TQQQ.
The time to buy TQQQ is when we're down 40% and wsb members are threatening to $ROPE themselves
I use options as a hedge. You can get plenty of leverage with SPXL and TQQQ
This 🌈 🐻 bought SPY calls around 3:30 this afternoon for Monday. Also picked up about 10k worth of TQQQ in my 401k. Guessing we bounce Monday and Tuesday. I would not surprised at all if the selling resumed in the next week or so. SPY 720 in the next few weeks is very possible. We're overdue for a correction.
If IV drops, I may buy a ton of OTM GOOGL leaps and sell covered calls against them. Use the premium to buy TQQQ
TQQQ at these valuations is truly regarded. You buy TQQQ after big downturns you dummy not before! Go to your room!
I did a month ago, then the bulls got the better of me and decided to rotate them back into GOOG, TQQQ etc before Oct 28 earnings. what a fuckin retard I am
can you see TQQQ $70 again this year?
TQQQ will probably bounce at 3:45 right after Robinhood automatically sells my calls

Just woke up from a 9 hour coma how are my TQQQ calls doing
I am trader for 8-9 years esp TQQQ,SOXL and wanted to buy these. By nature, when see top, I sold as this retirement account wont give any protective covers for options. Without protective cover, it will be disaster and I started trading. Now, I started buying and already have 1000 shares in my acocunt and placed GTC orders until $62.5.
If this is not the beginning of a bear market, the Qs go back to ATHs. There’s 20% in TQQQ and 25% in TECL upside here
TQQQ calls where not the play unless we get a war is over tweet soon.
F it bought 20 TQQQ calls. Lets V baby. Lost so much this week I am getting desperate.
I’m ready to buy SQQQ, so it’s time to buy TQQQ. Easy peasy.
This investing shit is only as hard as you make it. Bought the large MSFT dip earlier this year, sold for 33% gain. Recently bought the large MCD dip, green on that, will sell once it’s past $300. Today I will take a large position in TQQQ and GOOG. Will be 30%+ within 12 months or less. gg.
Whatcha think, is this going back up or down more? TQQQ vs SQQQ type of question?
Do we think this will drop more? It's a TQQQ vs SQQQ kinda q
TQQQ is the buy for today. Thank me later.

fuck SOXL, it's TQQQ buy for sure.
so tempted to play TQQQ for the next month but my executive voice says "you're fired".
Try putting 10000 coins in at any given point. If the market goes up, and goes up consistently while you hold it great. Everyone loves wins. If the market stays flat, perhaps like it has overall for about 6 months, it will trend downward slowly. And if the market fell now, you’d feel the pain. But you’d also need a lot more gains to recover from it than the same nominal loss. TQQQ is generally advised for short term trades, not to be held for long term. G
Lol "hidden drag". You can see its price action on the chart. Yes, there's volatility drag due to the daily leverage reset; however, its not much worse than what you'd expect for 3x tracking error. And in a bull market, the gains more than make up for it. Don't go full port, of course, but a small slice to TQQQ or trading around QQQ's SMAs is perfectly reasonable.
anyone prefer doing $TQQQ to $QQQ or $SPY options? usually letfs have bad volume and bid ask spread but not that one
Well I'm sold. I'm DCAing TQQQ for those big gains!
TQQQ calls but they expire 12/18. Thoughts?
TQQQ, buy the dips, sell the rips. Wash rinse and repeat.
It's one of reasons why I trade TECL instead of TQQQ.
have you compared to if you had held TQQQ instead?
Haha. Let me tell you my PYPL story. Around 2021, I had been day trading stocks like Amazon and Microsoft. I was making 5 figures on these trades, thought it was easy. Started gambling on earnings. Made $30k on a Microsoft earnings report, thought it was a great strategy lol. Then decided to gamble on PayPal’s earnings. I wasn’t particularly optimistic about PayPal stock, but I had a plan. I’d put a stop limit order if the price went down, so I’d just have upside and no downside. Or so I thought. Borrowed $300k and bought at $303. I then learned the problem with my stop limit order (a problem I should have foreseen), which did not get filled. Turn I thought, PayPal is at a discount! I’ll make it up on the upswing. I had also started buying options around this time, so I bought options too. Then I bought more when the stock price became even more of a “bargain”. Then the whole market dropped, and I was getting margin called and was losing sleep. So when PayPal was in the $70s or $80s, I decided to cut my losses, liquidated, and reinvested the money in TQQQ. Fortunately, I recovered my losses. Now I mostly stick to selling puts of ETFs.
You have a much better chance dumping in QQQ. Please stop, just focus on work and let your shit build fairly stress free. You can completely recover from this within 5-10 years by doing almost… NOTHING!! Just because you think you’re smarter doesn’t mean you can beat the odds of a market designed to beat you. Maybe load up some TQQQ if you like risk but just hold and forget you have stocks. No need to check every day. Just distance yourself and you’ll feel much better
It was really beaten down, several tech people I knew felt they made good products, and they had a chance to take market share off NVDA with their MI series chips. I've been all in one stock pretty much my whole investing life. Whether that be SPY or TQQQ or AMD. Andrew Carnegie agreed: "Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket."
Running 6-4 dte wheels on TQQQ TNA gives around 30% annually since 2020. Now SOXL and TSLL are also in play. In 2022, APY wasn't a meaningful metric due to paper losses, but the cash flow from selling calls was enough to live on. Spreads (butterflies, condors, etc.) don't work well because they're impossible to roll once they go in the money
I sell 1-dte expiry put options, as well as longer term put options, and my strategy is different for both. For 1-dte options: SPY or QQQ. I'm not even sure there are any other options for 1 dte options. I favor SPY, because I'm most comfortable betting on the behavior of SPY. But sometimes QQQ pays meaningfully more than SPY, so I'll do QQQ instead or 50/50. For strike price, I aim to make $1,000 per day that I trade, looking generally in the range of $500 to $1,500. It's just a judgment call based on what strike prices are currently selling for, in light of the recent behavior of the market. Usually anywhere from $2 to $10 below the current trading price. Sometimes I decide the market is just too optimistic and I will skip that day entirely. For longer term options: SPY and TQQQ are my two that I sell put options for every quarterly future date. SPY I do staggered strike prices between 20% and 30% below the all time high price of the stock. TQQQ, more like 50% to 60% below the all time high. Then I have a few randoms thrown in, like SOXL, NVDA, MU, one GOOGL. The randoms are usually sold on days where I'm not selling a 1 dte put for whatever reason (either because the market is too optimistic, or because the market is down and I've been assigned).
IVV usually. But at the moment, I actually have half in TQQQ hedged by a put option that I bought. When I got margin called in 2025, I had to touch those savings. I then invested in TQQQ on the upswing, to recover the money I lost. Worked great. The problem is that I now have a very large unrealized gain in TQQQ, and I don't want to incur the tax liability this year. So I bought a put option to protect my downside until January 2027, so I feel comfortable holding it until the 2027 tax year. Haven't figured out my plan for 2027 yet. I really really want to get it all into IVV, but I'm still struggling to accept the tax liability. We will see. It's a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless.
I bought $200k of TQQQ in 2011 AMA
I'm a neocloud bear and my portfolio is at an ATH. I think the risk of pulling that TQQQ stat out is that people extrapolate the rise of QQQ to a bet on the success of individual risky companies that are just as likely to go bankrupt.
Take a look at TQQQ all time chart, do you know if you had put a 100k into TQQQ in 2011, you’d have 14 million right now? Simply holding. Now take a look at under your nearest freeway underpass and you’ll find your local congregation of bers jerking each other off to stay warm
I hope QQQ is ready for takeoff... Bought quite a lot of TQQQ at the 702 level on QQQ. In the green but only by a bit
Today TQQQ moved a whopping 0%
Full port 0dte TQQQ monday generational wealth or generational Wendy's, no balls
Ikr? Instead of simply writing TQQQ. Smh.
This is an opportunity we get like 1x every year or so to get the market at a discount. Im porting into TQQQ for the rebound
I got it transferred and have access to margin now. What do you think? I'm not going to go in on margin unless TQQQ falls 40+% off its peak based on my backtesting.
Nah that’s too volatile for me and I don’t really like sector etf TQQQ is tech concentrated but that’s by the index design
I feel like I should move some of my VT into TQQQ at this point. Whatcha say
You gone learn a lesson about theta with TQQQ
Best move I made so far is to sell 1/3 of my AMD at $615, save some of the proceeds in my HYSA for taxes and expenses in the upcoming year, and put the rest all in ELF, CELH, MCD, AXP this year lol those stocks are doing well. I also put some in TQQQ and that's down, but I can hold that. And I believe AMD still has a long way to go, so holding it until $800 at least.
What % of TQQQ was your port back then..
I held TQQQ to -80% for all of 2022, basically.
Manufactured fear before tech earnings, election, peace deals, etc. QQQ 777 Xmas. TQQQ has a 30% upside.

these are called penny stocks and they're a great way to lose a ridiculous sum of money that would've earned just fine in an index or a leveraged index like QQQ or TQQQ
