TQQQ is excellent when it goes up but sucks when it goes down!
TQQQ is solid for momentum plays but yeah, having an exit plan is key. 85% gains in that timeframe is nothing to sneeze at. Smart to secure those profits while things are getting sketchy.
You also had to get through 08 and the 2020 crash to get here, and you still would have made huge amounts of money. I’m just pointing out that it has been a superior investment vehicle for buy and hold for a very long time, and I don’t agree with the notion that it would have shut down in 2000, or at least I don’t agree with the notion that similar circumstances in the future would cause that to happen. In terms of the actual play here, imo DCAing into a TQQQ position after a bear market is declared is a no brainer in terms of risk adjusted gains (not in terms of your psychological ability to withstand the turmoil to get those gains), and it probably will continue to be in the future because we will never stop expanding the money supply as long as this country exists.
TQQQ seems to THE ONLY leverage ETF that buckles the trend. I'm talking about the marginal decay.
TQQQ does not hold up during volatility like QQQ does because of degradation. Smart move to buy and to sell imo. Reload and do it again if it does drop
I’ve been rotating to more defensive stocks lately for the same reason. Investing in healthcare which has underdelivered and holding on to some cash. The think that scares me most is the fact that right now retail has surpassed the institutions in terms of money in the market, and when that shit bursts, the liquidity will be the issue, so I am actively avoiding gold or crypto. Also left TQQQ, I left the position to get assigned.
i also hold TQQQ. great post, thank you! what did you use to backtest?
Never lost money taking profits. I sold about 70% of my TQQQ holdings about 3 weeks ago ($40k). I’d been buying since 2021. Weathered the tech crisis of 2022 which saw 80% of my position evaporate. I didn’t blink and held strong through that crash, the 2025 liberation day crash really stung though, 3 years of gains wiped out in a matter of days. I swore to myself once the stock reached $90 again I would sell a large chunk. Thankfully we were back at ATH levels 4 months later and that’s exactly what I did. I sold 70% of my Tqqq holdings and am sitting on USD. Planning to reinvest in more stable ETFs (VGS) where I already have most of my capital invested. I’ll keep some USD in the case Tqqq crashes to ~$50 and launch back in then.
Not sure why people would be 'Margined called'.? Very few people borrow on their equities. Thats Stupid! If people went 100% on TQQQ/UPRO etc... there is NO margin call.
[Your backtests were wrong](https://testfol.io/?s=loSCBOeeYEE). TQQQ would have gotten obliterated by the dot com bubble and never recovered.
They always say that, but I’ve back tested it and if you bought a position before the 2000 crash, you’d be up something like 1.8x over QQQ in the same time period, and that’s after losing 99.9% in 2000 and probably having some kind of reverse split go on (obviously TQQQ didn’t exist back then, so that’s only theoretical)
TQQQ doesn’t strike me as a super long term hold and I would want an exit strategy too. You shouldn’t feel bad for deleveraging. Congrats on your gains!
TQQQ PUTS for the win

Doubt it. Soon they will finance my calls on TQQQ. And did ya hear printer is coming back on September 🤩
TQQQ Puts, I was up 30% and held and sold 50% down before it got worse. I don’t even wanna know what they’d look like tomorrow
if the big boys knew, they woldn't be hedging. hedge yourself however you feel, i've gone cash heavy (money market) after hitting my yearly target, letting the rest ride more since we could melt up too (my plan: splurping, no debasement, recession). you could also buy calls and puts for cheaps out of the money on leveraged indices like SQQQ/TQQQ or SOXL/SOXS as cheap insurance. whatever floats your boat, options murdered me this year, took forever to recover
Got a good fill on TQQQ. I'm going to start setting fill orders when futures are blood red for things that I think will bounce off the lows. I had fills for CrowdStrike at -4% as well, but it never got there
I would be 100% TQQQ if I was guaranteed 100% disability from Uncle Sam.

Poor persons mindset? I’m in these index funds with insane risk into TQQQ. You ask any “poor person” they couldn’t even fathom to risk any money into triple leveraged yet alone hold it for a few years.
I'm not going to hold options for NVDA but I am holding quite a bit of SOXL and TQQQ. Decisions decisions
TQQQ has been an insane winner for me, holding 300 shares up 60%. On extreme bear markets I borrow more money and invest into it. Been holding for 5x years and never got “decay crushed.” The decay is marginal even in sideways markers I have used leveraged to buy more(of course into other things as well) and made money on the gamble. Either way if you believe in the US economy TQQQ will continue to go up.
Sold some TQQQ to buy TNA this morning. Small caps are popping off.
Been doing weekly cc/csp (wheel) on TQQQ. Can get dicey with the leverage but prefer to dailies on QQQ.
You just bought calls at SP500 ATH, not sure that's the smartest thing to do, I'm not sure how TQQQ is correlated to it either but from a regard who tried to short it today godspeed for you
I just need $94.01 on TQQQ and I will be fine. Otherwise, I’m cooked bro.
Putting rent money into TQQQ calls… that’s the spirit of WSB right there.
QQQ, SPMO, even TQQQ
Imma yolo it on TQQQ, first trade, lets fucking see
Okay, time to ape brain this shit, 🥭say if you don't remove digital taxes, I will fuck you with tariffs and chip ban, Canada (first country that I found data on regarding this matter) used to have a 3% digital tax, and they made 2 billion USD from that. But even a small tariff defo hurts more than a revenue loss of 2 billion USD. Therefore tech will fucking skyrocket, time to load up on TQQQ calls.
Any single buying decision looks stupid if you compare it to investing into 3x Nasdaq or even 3x World instead. Is it worth to just eat rice, drink water, don't travel for years, but have 100k more in TQQQ instead? These comparisons make little sense IMHO
I just sold about 70% of my TQQQ holdings at $91, locking in a solid gain after a pretty wild ride. I first bought in back in 2021 around $80, watched it run to $120, then went through the stock split that halved the price. Held through the 2022 tech drawdown when it cratered to $17, kept averaging down on the way down and up, and by late 2024 we were back at all-time highs. I almost sold then, but stayed in after seeing the big tech CEOs aligning politically, thinking sentiment would stay strong. Then the tariff shock hit, and the ETF dropped back to $35 in a matter of days — wiped out three years of gains almost instantly. At that point, I told myself: if it ever touches $90 again, I’m taking risk off the table. Four months later, we’re back at highs, so I executed. More than doubled my capital overall and de-risked. I’ll sit on cash for now — maybe move into real assets (apartment, etc.). Why? Because with Trump back in charge, trade uncertainty, and elevated volatility, I don’t want the bulk of my capital tied up in a 3× leveraged tech ETF.
It’s a hedged strategy already so the volatility is much lower than pure TQQQ and expected returns are higher. You will at minimum need to use QLD or SSO on the leveraged side of the portfolio to not underperform the indices.
All the trading data is in the tabs below, looks like an average of 1.51 trades per year. Not sure how much is lost to fees but the sim matches TQQQ expense ratio
Defensive is simply an unleveraged position on equities like QQQ or judt hedges only versus the aggressive position which is used to increase leverage via LETFs such as TQQQ. This is a variation of the very popular SSO GLD ZROZ strategy in r/LETFs but using TQQQ instead and adding in managed futures for even more diversification. 200SMA is used to determine periods of low volatility when price is above (bull runs) and to separate out the bad times with high volatility below the 200SMA and avoiding leverage when below it.

And who timed it perfectly from the Covid bottom, *you*? My play to stay rich is not buying something regarded like TQQQ at its ATH
Isn't TQQQ just starting to recover from the Covid crash lmao
Really need TQQQ to go to mid 4 digits so if you all can keep buying tech stocks that would be awesome. Thank you for your attention on this matter.
As a self-proclaimed and probably certified INTC hater, I can't believe I'm even saying this, probably INTC. They now have the government shilling the fuck outta it with all the power they have. Alternatively, just any of the Magnificent 7+TQQQ.
# With fed cut coming what's the best play (TQQQ?) Just buy TQQQ? what's a safe bet to make money with this cut and what should i start dumping into? Ive been out to market recently.
The gain is primarily driven by leveraged ETHU, GGLL and TQQQ, but this is my whole portfolio and everything went up today. I can provide more details if needed.
lol half the regards here have been long TQQQ for over a year now
I guess I shouldve bought at 150 but decided with TQQQ
So if you just bought SPY instead you would be up 166% or QQQ up 275%. If you are a real gambler you would be 282% in bitcoin (used GBTC as a marker so can be off) or 650% if TQQQ is your fancy.
I want TQQQ to 94 in 1 candle. Just say tariffs are canceled. Just do it
TQQQ is a blind buy right now. Will pump the next week!!
Need TQQQ at 94. Please say AI everyone
That's it for the day huh? I wish I sold on that monster pump. I was up SOOOOO much. Now breakeven despite TQQQ being higher than it was earlier lol I hate options
Need TQQQ to get back to ath STAT. IV crush is killing my calls
I was up $180 on my TQQQ calls and diamond handed them to breakeven
Can we pump more please? Asking for my veeeery slightly otm TQQQ calls that I'm up on but greedy
Why is my TQQQ up 4%?
🥭: I will be sending American troops into Iran and Gaza to die for Izrael AIPAC: Powell, we order you lower fed fund rate to 0% Powell: Fuck You 🥭 TQQQ: 🤑
Doing 0dte otm calls on both TQQQ and SQQQ. Trying to get 10 calls of each for under $50 and hope for a big reaction in either direction to offset the -50 from the other side. Kind of a strangle I guess
I'm BUYING THE 85 TQQQ PUT
Think the play will be a lot of calls on SQQQ and lot of calls on TQQQ. Valhalla or Valhalla. Naturally, it will be flat
"That makes me think the Nasdaq’s growth potential could be even bigger." The Nasdaq's growth potential might be bigger over the long-term but you talk about 30 years; what if there was another 2000-2010 (although especially 2000-2008) period within that 30 years where other things had leadership? I see that as highly likely and probably in the early first half of the next 30 years. Too many people run the risk of every potentially compelling growth theme/concept as being "the next big thing" when there have been a number of things that have not even in recent years. 2020/21 was an example of a very broad disruptive growth bubble, where even something like BYND soared and because the stock went up, price = narrative ("meatless will be what everyone is eating!") Cut to less than five years later: stock is $2.50 and https://foodinstitute.com/focus/beyond-meat-on-the-verge-of-financial-ruin/ During covid, TDOC soared and everyone thought that that was the way doctor's visits will go. The moment covid subsided, so did telehealth, then others started to compete and it was clear there was no moat. I did extremely well during covid with LVGO, which was then bought by TDOC for $18.5B. TDOC is now worth 1.2B. Everyone thought every EV company - even one with three wheel vehicles that did a banjo concert on a conference call - was the next Tesla. A lot of people on here were going all in on ARKK - last year Cathie had $22B in realized losses across the ARK funds. The last 5 years growth has done so extraordinarily well that I think it has created unrealistic expectations and there is still some degree of the mentality that every popular growth theme will work out extraordinarily well. Some will - but what popular growth theme isn't already priced as if thats the case? Some will not. When people start asking about "why not TQQQ" or "why not just own the nasdaq" I do get a little concerned; not saying this as harsh to op or anyone but admittedly, these are not questions you see on here in March 2020, 2022, early 2025 - they are the kind of questions that appear more in 2021. I'm not saying the markets will crater tomorrow, but I do think that some of what I see is not sustainable. It feels to some degree like we're already 2021-ing with Chamath doing a SPAC again and other things going on. What causes more of a lasting reset a la post dot com I don't know, but if that isn't the eventuality than perhaps this time is actually different. It feels like we are in a cycle of "escalator up" (2020-21, 2023-24, 2025 post April low; "price to narrative" valuation; everyone focuses on growth), "escalator down" (2022, early 2025; all the sudden valuation matters in a hurry, many got 100% risk-on and their only option is to rapidly scramble to de-risk in a puke of popular/crowded themes/names; people rent value and out of favor names while looking for a sign to go back to growth gambling again.)
Do it. I f*cked the market by buying calls on $SPXL and $TQQQ. Expiring tomorrow though so look for a long position. Maybe if I go all in on $DJT, it’ll happen.
TQQQ all the way tomorrow. It’s can’t keep going down.
Moved out when I was 10 years old and I became a billionaire off fartcoin when I was 19. Now I reinvest a million dollars every month into TQQQ.
It’s tied to the market. It reminds me a bit of a leveraged ETF like TQQQ.
1) open a brokerage account with two different brokers 2) load up on SQQQ calls in one account 3) load up on TQQQ calls in the other account 4) when one of the accounts hits it big, cash out and leave the country? 5) I'm highly restarted
TQQQ/SQQQ SPXL/SPXS UPRO/SPXU. Sometimes 2x leveraged individual stock ETFs
People not spending money at WMT means they are spending for AI. Calls TQQQ.
been holding 200 shares of TQQQ since yesterday. Options a bit too risky for me at the moment. 3x leverage is fine for the moment
TQQQ puts at open or too risky? Am a poor
Short TQQQ at open and wait till tomorrow EOD.
I’m waiting for the right time to buy TQQQ… it can’t keep going down.. right?
My BROKER called me when I bougT $350k of TQQQ PUTS in my 401K in April They said are you CRAZY I SAID NO THIS IS my EARLY RETIRENENT PLAN NOW they call me asking for Next MOVE. I say FUCK OFF and go get a real a job
BTC always sucks. buy TQQQ, PLTR, NVDA for rebound
i need market to crash so i can load up on LETFs again, like TQQQ and SOXL 😭
If it's 0dte then why not buy TQQQ puts?
Bulls, I am one of you as well and was a bag holder in April dip but recovered and learnt. A huge dump is ahead, come out/take profit and wait for the right opportunity. If you still have itching, just short TQQQ, you will never be disappointed.
I've got some pretty scary QQQ and TQQQ puts that I did the same thing with. Honestly, the August 29 350P QQQs are starting to look like they might catch enough momentum for me to make some serious dosh...
50% TQQQ 50% SQQQ port cant lose motherfucker
I’m bought QQQ calls and TQQQ betting on it.
Already made move last week. Got 100's of VIX name calls. Peeling them off slowly. Bought some SPY and TQQQ puts early today, will sell partial into Weds PM.
Have you heard the latest rumor? Buffett is loading up on TQQQ Trust me bro
Had a -90k day from PLTR calls but clawed back 50k from SPY and TQQQ puts. Rough day, guess we bleed until NVDA earnings and see if the AI bubble starts popping
Index fund calls and Blue chip calls in the form of leaps have seemed to be the safest choice with very high exposure to profit potential. I’ve had this with Microsoft, QQQ, TQQQ, NVDA, AAPL, and TSLA all this year I usually cut out at 40% return depending. Whatever pullback or VIX crush happens coming up will be a good re-entry time I hope. I’m waiting currently
I sell TQQQ puts for extra income. I also have a 9-5 job.
I assume above poster is not referring to fiverr. Could have doubled your money in TQQQ
Why would my idea be bad? TQQQ may have been good the past 5 years since the stock market has been doing exceptionally well, however it seems unlikely that it will continue doing so, as it is a leveraged ETF
I know but your idea is bad too. TQQQ has been a pretty solid DCA for last 5 years. Obviously past results isn’t a guarantee of future
