TQQQ

Ok-Barracuda39

Hmm. Do we start loading up TQQQ here? Tempted. Might wait for sub $40. Just, no idea if the powers that be are going to force a sudden reversal to prove that "everything is fine".

Cold-Operation-4974

i forgot asset managers are mag dumping into the indexes because of earnings. i forgot i mag dump into the indices every week because of p/e ratios we mag dump into indices every week because karl marx told us the owners of capital will do everything in their power to accumulate capital. doesnt mean communism is the solution. but he hit the problem on the nose. prices go up. eggs go up milk go up gold go up stocks go up. public bus ride quality go down. or perhaps u believe that the average fed governor or president who spends 25 years working at goldman sachs... makes his every decision with the average supermarket basket in mind and not his $40,000,000 portfolio? because hunting through book value has made investors the most money in the past 20 years? or has buying TQQQ every week like its a commodity simply because it is being diluted slower than the currency its value is measured in?

Sitting on like 80k cash. Feeling cute and might go with TQQQ or SPXL

neutralpoliticsbot

not meant doesn't meant it won't profit you. $TQQQ is up 400% in last 5 years. So whoever held it quadrupled their money no matter the rebalance or fees.

ebitdasga

Made some money off TQQQ but options were just way too expensive to make substantial gains

teamyg

Sold out TQQQ around 49.4 (cost 48.5, 48.8, 49). rebound is fucking weak 😞

teamyg

Bought back TQQQ at 48.5, 48.8 and 49.

TickTockTaudit

TQQQ under 50 (under 100 before split) has been a buy over and over and over again

wearahat03

Tech has to correct every now and then. If not, TQQQ and SOXL would be way too OP

Own_Cat_9967

I’ve got you beat -19.4, although a huge chunk of that is TQQQ calls 🤦‍♂️

teamyg

Cut my TQQQ position at 51.1 (cost 51.9, 52.3) and concede defeat. The 10% correction has begun. Two days below the critical moving average.

teamyg

Bought more TQQQ at 51.9, hooray.

TQQQ but spread it out over 6+ months on a weekly basis

TQQQ gonna hit $44 today and i’ll get to upgrade from lousy super 8 to an IHG by tomorrow afternoon 😀

teamyg

Covered QQQ shorts around 615.5 (from 616.5, 617) with small gains; market is very resilient. Bought some TQQQ at 52.3, riding the wave up.

TQQQ at 3x leverage is a vol killer—show me your entry and stop loss or this is just gambling with extra steps. That chart broke support at $47.50 last week, so what's your thesis besides "tech go up"?

Damn im bag holding TQQQ calls until tomorrow but this rigged market only knows one direction (im fucked aren’t I)

Hmm. If TQQQ breaks under $50, might be time to load up again. Did this a bit before and sold off at $55. 10% gains aren't much though.

DrDoomslayer

shoulda did TQQQ 3x'd

USMCActiveToReserve

I was down $60k on Friday due to GLD and SLV, down $12k yesterday, now I'm making a comeback and up $16k today. I'm not giving up. TQQQ was a favorite but it hasn't been doing shit for the past four plus months.

Own_Cat_9967

TQQQ you sexy bitch, please keep pumping! I believe in you 🫶

WeekndTrading

literally forgot $TQQQ was a thing. Haven't seen that pop up in my flows in like a year lol

antelope591

TQQQ hit 36 in April and you're buying in at 110 less than a year later (split since then). That's why people are saying your timing's pretty bad. Over long enough timeline you'll probably come out positive but triple leverage at ATH is rarely that good of an idea.

nhannlcc

I'm a little confused, if say TQQQ started at $50.00 in 2026 and ended with $100.00 at end 2030, that's a $50 gain per share. How would I have a negative return?

teamyg

Sold out TQQQ at 55.2 (cost 52.7) and took profit; Shorted QQQ again at 626.5 and 627.

teamyg

My TQQQ is ripping 🚀🚀🚀

Bought some TQQQ at 52.7, target 55+ 👍

You are calculating your profit based on your account buying power, which is correct. The majority of the comments are calculating the profit based on the cost basis of the share. If you go to the options and change the selection from single to covered (buy write), you will enter this set up at the cost of .40 cents. The confirmation page will show buying power effect .40 cents, max profit .60 cents, and max loss .40 cents. Assuming your account balance is only .40 cents, you are able to enter this trade with a max profit of .60 cents, realizing a potential gain of 150%. Example: TQQQ closed at $54 on Friday and 100 shares would cost $5,400. If you selected the "covered" strategy on the option type list and selected the March 6th $54 call option at the end of day on Friday, the trade would cost you $4,985 + option fee (avg .65) = $4,985.65 total. You do not need $5,400 in your account to enter this trade at the cost of the shares. Your confirmation window for the trade would show: Buy Power Effect: ($4,985.65) Break Even Price: $49.85 Max Loss: $4,985 Max Profit: $415 (cost of option sold) Your max profit is realized if the option expires in the money. If the option does not expire in the money, your profit is anything about your break even price, anything below is considered a loss on the trade.

dolenees676

Bro that's exactly what happened here what are you talking about? It closed at 54 (the strike price) on the dot then went itm after hours and he's getting assigned. Which means it *was* hovering exactly at the strike. OP said "cash secure put on TQQQ with 54 strike price expired today. But it looks like TQQQ closed at $54." Idk what else to call that except pin risk. OP should have closed the position seeing as those puts were damn near worthless.

Arcite1

I supposed it could be described as pin risk given that it closed at exactly 54, but it doesn't really look to me like TQQQ was pinned at 54 at the end of the trading session. (And I'm not sure it's possible for an ETF to be "pinned" like that anyway.) This might not be what you meant, but a lot of people use "pin risk" to mean a generic "when something undesirable happens to you at expiration." The two most common misuses being 1) letting a spread expire with the underlying in between the two strikes, and 2) thinking that a short option is expiring OTM because it's OTM as of market close, but it goes ITM after hours and you get assigned. For example, in OP's case, if TQQQ had closed at 56, but then before 5:30 went down to 53, and he wound up getting assigned, some people would erroneously call that "pin risk." This might seem overly pedantic since it did in fact close at 54 on the dot, but the meaning of the ["pin"](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pinningthestrike.asp) is that in the final few minutes of the market, the underlying is hovering exactly at the strike, which didn't seem to be happening here.

Ma4r

I'm diversified bro trust me Looks inside: QQQ, SPX ,TQQQ, and short SQQQ

lobeams

Google is wrong. TQQQ closed at $54.04. You'll be auto-assigned.

TimingEzaBitch

0TDE spy isn't thrilling enough for me. Maybe I should start TQQQ instead

BlueSpaceSherlock

Stocks are too volatile for me. From now on i am going to put my money into less risky index funds such as UPRO and TQQQ.

michael_curdt

Be very careful. They are 3x leveraged. If QQQ goes up 2%, TQQQ goes up ~6%. And if 2% down, it goes 6% down. There is also theta decay, so these are not supposed to be held long term. Read more and know your risk appetite before touching triple leveraged funds.

michael_curdt

I am not a trader, so don’t take my advice. I thought leveraged ETFs are there for this exact reason: TQQQ, SOXL

teamyg

Sold out TQQQ around 55.35 (cost 54.7, 54.75) and took profit, 😄

My TQQQ position is looking so far so good, fuck market-makers!

Alright if we're going towards a correction I'm cool with it but at least give me a good one. I have been saving a lot of cash since last year and I'm ready to deploy it on TQQQ 🤟

Good news is I made 80% on my TQQQ calls. Bad news is I’m a giant pussy and it was a completely inconsequential amount of money

Sold out TQQQ around 55.2; made a small gain; bought too early.

FudFomo

Since you already have a high risk tolerance and seem young I would stick to mostly equity ETFs like VT and 20% btc and leveraged ETFs like TQQQ. Get out of single stocks, some can go to zero. I don't think mining is worth it, just hodl BTC.

TGOWflow8

I swing trade ETFs using the Alchemy5Edge trading signal of the QQQs (TQQQ and SQQQ). They might be a good fit for you. Good luck!

TGOWflow8

Just a suggestion but try the Alchemy5Edge trading signal of the QQQs ETFs (TQQQ and SQQQ) which I've traded with for a few years and they are very good. It's a Monday to Friday swing trade and they have great results. Good luck!

Ok_Ambassador_4311

Of course SOXL and TQQQ have to go up now but not a week ago

Arcite1

An deep ITM put is not a lottery ticket that gives you a big payout unless the underlying goes up enough to "hit" the strike. That is a 1 delta contract with no extrinsic value, so it's just going to move opposite to the underlying. If TQQQ goes down, you will make some money, but if it goes up at all, you will lose money. Right now TQQQ is at 57.14 and the bid/ask on the 1/30/26 80 strike put is 21.75/23.45. Let's say you could buy at the mid, so 22.60. If at close of business on Friday, TQQQ is up by 1.00, 58.14, that contract will be worth 80 - 58.14 = 21.86, so you will have lost money.

Outrageous_Device557

PDT rule has forced small accounts to use stupid high leverage products like options and futures to day try. Day trading 12k of TQQQ or SQQQ or qqq spy is a lot less dangerous then 1 mnq mes or any option contract. I can't wait to be able to use a small account and day trade actual shares of companys.

nvidia69420

TQQQ or QQQ callz 🧐

realizewhatreallies

I'm trying to learn options but find it a bit confusing. From what I'm looking at, is there any reason i would not want to buy an $80 put that expires on Friday for TQQQ? It seems like a 99.5% guaranteed way to make money. Obviously, "if it were that easy, everyone would to it," but, please tell me why its not that easy, or what risk I'm missing.

breakyourteethnow

You’re throwing around “volatility decay” like it’s a magic word, and it’s exposing that you don’t understand the instruments you’re comparing. The thing people call “decay” in daily-reset leveraged ETFs (volatility drag from daily rebalance + path dependency), is not the same thing as how options behave, where outcomes are driven by theta/IV vs realized, skew, strike selection, and roll mechanics. So your “anything >1x leverage decays” line is a sloppy oversimplification, not quant insight. Also, “you could’ve bought TQQQ in a bull run” is not an argument against an income+reinvestment overlay. It’s a reminder you can make anything look smart if you pick the best-performing levered beta product after the fact. *If you* actually want a serious discussion, stop credential-posturing and specify a real rule set: DTE, delta target, roll triggers, assignment handling, slippage/fees, and regime filters, because “backtest it from 1970” without a defined strategy is just a vibe, not research. And if your best contribution is “bull market genius + I worked at X,” you’re not debating the strategy, you’re trying to win with authority instead of analysis.

PhilosophyNo8550

Also, did you know that a basket of LEAPS = leveraged ETFs? That's how the banks build those products. Just take a look at the summary prospectus, and it should become obvious that you holding a basket of LEAPs in your account is effectively simulating TQQQ or other leveraged ETFs.

PhilosophyNo8550

Well, you blocked my alt account as well. If I have to create a brand new account each time in order to engage in any sort of possible constructive dialogue with you, well, I guess this one will be my final reply. Did you know that LEAPs and most options are actually a form of leverage (based on this knowledge gap, I suspect \*you\*'re actually the newer investor)? Volatility decay doesn't just happen to TQQQ and other similar ETFs -- it happens to \*anything\* with > 1x leverage, options included. Volatility decay is merely a function of mathematics behind the sequence of returns, it's not generated by what sort of financial instrument you use to get that leverage, whether that be options or leveraged ETFs. Again: if you're so confident your strategy will last decades through periods of recession & market shocks, why not just backtest it to shut me up? The proof is in the data. Run your strategy from 1970 to 2025 and post your backtested returns here. Lastly, my qualifications: I worked as a quant at Goldman Sachs (the 200 West Street office) and then worked at quantitative hedge fund with $100 billion AUM. I researched and put into production dozens of successful commodities futures and options strategies. I'm happy to verify this without doxxing myself - heard that mods can sometimes get a PM of a pic of an employee badge or a pay stub as proof. My Reddit account may be newer than yours, but I'm not a new investor, as you may assume.

Legitimate_Leg9337

TQQQ to the moon

breakyourteethnow

You have no clue what you're talking about and it shows. This strategy is not akin to taking on decay jfc. You realize if the market down turns, how cost effective it is to roll down and out? Again, not the end of the world either like you're trying to paint out cause you don't have experience. New guy on the job who think he's knows the job. Referencing this strategy and TQQQ is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while actually.

calgary_db

Sunday night I had a dream, that I used 200k of margin to buy TQQQ weekly calls. In the dream I made 2 mill, then 15 mill and sold half. I woke up, and didn't buy the freaking calls. I am such an idiot.

InitialRole4739

That’s indeed my point - I would never invest in a 3x leveraged fund long-term. No experienced investor ever would do that long-term. It is a recipe for disaster. Again, what my point was: Your strategy is akin to a 3x leveraged ETF (which is guaranteed to blow up once a major recession happens - doing a simple backtest will show this easily) but with just more steps involved to get to the final destination. I'm saying your strategy will too eventually blow up, just like TQQQ. If you want this sort of risk-to-return profit, you might as well dumped your money into TQQQ. Less than 1% of the time and effort for a roughly equivalent returns profile. By the way, I have to reply to your comment using my alt account because you (OP) blocked me after your reply. It sounds like you just want to hurl insults (“how new are you?!”) and silence other viewpoints rather than genuinely engage in constructive debate. Very classy move, OP. 🎩

Pokeables

“Everyone is a genius in a bull market.” Of course, this strategy has worked out well over the last few years. Most strategies indeed have, over this time period. Some food for thought: you could have dumped the money into TQQQ (a 3x leveraged equity index) and just let it sit in there passively over the last few years. You would have done better than this wheeling strategy and spent only 1% of the time and effort compared to your weekly wheeling + LEAPs strategy. Have you back-tested your strategy over past decades? Including major recession years? Have you adjusted your backtest results for downside risk and variance? What’s the Sharpe ratio of your strategy? Etc etc.

What the hell happened to TQQQ lmao. Tradingview had it spaz out to $593 on ridic volume lol wtf

AGigatonicxs

My TQQQ would love it

underground_14_91

I don’t have any specific stock tickers in mind, other than NVDA, but I would look at some 2x or 3x leveraged ETFs to buy puts on like USD or TQQQ. I’m pretty sure USD will go to near zero (-90% or more) if Ai bubble bursts, destroying the stock prices of all the semiconductor companies that shot up the past 10 yrs, NVDA specifically. USD is leveraged to the tits on NVDA.

Its my portfolio version of a bus filled with soup cans buried on the farm. It will be an apocalyptic parachute pull of a sale to load TQQQ.

Buddy TQQQ is a derivative product. You are funding hedgefunds.

Late-Cod4656

possibly, but your silver is ONLY up due to the destruction of the value of the US dollar, and you're only treading water, maybe even ekeing out a small gain from misery. but the TQQQ is different, I'm funding businesses that provide goods and services that improve lives on a global scale. like wendy's

Late-Cod4656

you are misinterpreting the scrolls young padawan. This is me adding 122 shares to my position, 1 year ago. And yea, after we consider the "Dovish Tailing" of the 2/1 stock split they said would never happen! And gaze with joy upon the Glory of the Federal Reserve! For thou art pumped the most wondrous bubble, and this is now 244 shares at a fifty percent appreciation after merely 12 moons. and the best part is it's right on schedule, predictable just like gravity but all these dudes lose their mind over it. idk look up the TQQQ average return, go do it. i'll wait. then you can't be surprised when it returns exactly that.

Troflecopter

My silver is up more than your TQQQ

karabeth05

800% gain on TQQQ is insane. The decay claims were totally wrong. Curious to see its next move.

Late-Cod4656

My position is that the TQQQ will continue to grow at an average rate of 51% per year as it has since inception, making it possible for the common man to achieve Warren Buffett level returns. And the President is fully committed to making this happen. It's a function of the NASDAQ, and 3x performance. The NASDAQ averages 17% per year, TQQQ gets 3x. Simple math.

solariac

Your position is what they mean, poor. We all know how TQQQ has performed since the covid lows.

Late-Cod4656

So tell me, what would you call it? I call it a prophecy. A certain fact that I believe in. Everyone else says its sure to bring ruin. Is buying something like that gambling, or is it investing? It depends who's doing the defining. I would call it investing. Others insist it's worse than gambling. What's important is, I issued the prophecy in March 2020, TQQQ was at 5.95, they said don't do it. We did it! We got it done, we're at 54.38, and we're going to keep doing it!

WakeningAbyss

Bluecoregamming

INTC up 14.5% ytd 3x leverage TQQQ up 3.9% Big oof indeed

stefpix

I started investing during the pandemic. No options, but buy and hold leveraged ETFs like TQQQ, SOXL, USD etc. I am up almost 200% in 5 years, but in 2022 to 2023 i was down 50%. It must be brutal to lose 50% in days. but you are quite young and have lots of money for your age. So you will bounce back. How many lost their savings in obscure crypto? Probably you could take a risk with some 2x leveraged SP500/ Nasdaq100 ETFs, maybe bet a small portion on some new tech like quantum, but it's a crapshoot. If you had bought a silver ETF like SILVR, you would be up almost 200% in less than 12 months. At age 19, the prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed, so there is a poor risk evaluation under age 25. That's why young kids are enlisted in the military to wage war. I still like to take some risks, with risks there can be higher gains. But don't gamble more than 10%. It sounds you were reactive and overcompensating to a frustrating situation/missed opportunity

link3it

That will change over the next decade. QQQ will trade sideways while TQQQ decays.

FudFomo

Get 20% until TQQQ and rebalance monthly, you’ll beat the SP…as long as it’s a bull market.
