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.

TQQQ 1/21/28 $75C on 3/30/26 was $505. Now, it is $2,668. 5x. Buying $505 worth of TQQQ shares on 3/30/26, would be worth $1,030 right now. 2x. What are you talking about.
Leveraged ETFs as well as options on Leveraged ETFs are path of returns bet. If you have some signal that tells you there’s going to be some consecutive days in a row in the same direction, or the opposite (very choppy up down up down and you want to fade the LETF) you will likely do better choosing LETF products over the underlying. Inversely, if you have some signal on the underlying ( “I’m unsure on the path but I think QQQ is headed up within the next 12 months more than priced in the options market” for example ) you’ll likely do better on QQQ than TQQQ. In my opinion this is a better way to think about it than purely the volatility, sorry if it doesnt answer your question
I disagree. Its still more leverage. Ie, If you look at 80 delta options for jan 2027. Right now thats 610 on QQQ, 56.5 on TQQQ. One can buy 5 calls of TQQQ for every 1 of QQQ. Now here's the leverage: lets say QQQ finishes at 800. Thats $190(call price ~$139)=~$51 gain. 800 is 12% up from today. Lets say TQQQ goes up 30% instead of 36%. That puts it at 100. Thats $44.5(~28.5 price)=$16 gain but you have 5 calls so $80 total. So same dollar amount invested gets you a higher return.
I would dump in VOO(long) and TQQQ(short term)
If your looking for leverage on an index don’t but 1 - TQQQ option by 3 options of the under index or (index equivalent) etf. If you can’t afford 3 - QQQ options try 3 - XLG options for example. They have long term positive drift and not the negative baggage of Leveraged ETF’s.
The only time I think this would be an advisable strategy is right before a parabolic run like we've just seen on TQQQ. You really need the market going up day after day by leaps and bounds to outrun volatility decay. Any chop is going to really hurt, and a big down day will crush you. If there's a massive sell off, and then a positive catalyst marking a vol crush bottom, or a Zweig Breadth Thrust event or something, you might try this. Otherwise, probably just a cool way to set money on fire.
Am I about to like 1000x my $80 TQQQ Calls?
Wouldn't the volatility decay of TQQQ and SOXL absolute destroy you though?
Full port into TQQQ calls at open. This is financial advice.
Then put all your money in TQQQ.
I buy TQQQ during market corrections. Recently grabbed a bunch at 38$. First time I’ve got the “bottom” correctly but it’s been a nice run the last month or so. It doubled and I pulled half and now I have a position on house money and cash on the side for another pullback.
Using my TQQQ shares as collateral to buy even more TQQQ.
need a 2x or 3x Memory and Rockets/Space ETF - not just 1 stock, kind of like TQQQ
you have to be careful with TQQQ: if you buy and market bottoms out and then it starts going up, you make a lot of money. on the other hand, if you buy and market keeps going down, likewise you can lose a lot.
When fear and greed index goes to single digits buy TQQQ.
if the market crashed 40%+?? Home equity loan on house.... Doomsday account activated (YES , I have one for that situation) TQQQ SOXL JPM GOOG class C IBKR CBOE And you can swing trade aggressively post crash for about 6 months
Just buy some TQQQ with the $42.38
If the market dips next week, all cash into TQQQ and GOOGL. If the market rips, I’m rich because I have tons of calls.
Yes, it can't go tits up. Big dick bros buy TQQQ too
we have minimum SOXL and TQQQ, this kind of talk does not belong here.
Go full retard and buy options on $TQQQ with margin.
If you ever lose money on an investment, just hold TQQQ until you get the amount you lost back.
Yeah yeah, and my bitcoin and TQQQ are up even more. Nasdaq index is horrible!
Ahh of course. I did the same with TQQQ but not for five contracts at \~$900 like your giant balls. Nicely done
Last post by /u/ssmoygugs6 was 17 days ago. RIP king > If you regards are risking $80,000 to $100,000 on shit like this or 0DTE’s, might as well hold it until that shit expires. If you’re going to pussy out buy TQQQ shares instead.
You're welcome, I had sold my TQQQ cals prior to this pump and may have covered commissions
i bet on it and own a lot of TQQQ any rational human wouldn't have bought puts they would have lost all of their money
High-yield savings accounts for now. Wait for the market to crash. Buy triple leverage TQQQ or some other ETF if you wanna play it safe. Then wait for the government bail out. That’s been my investment philosophy for years now.
I’m loading up on TQQQ calls at open
You would've needed to put about $450 in TQQQ back in 2010 to be able to buy that car new today
I’m scared to buy TQQQ calls cause of NVDA earnings
If Warsh keeps printing you should borrow and be in stocks, maybe not TQQQ but yes in regular stocks.
Going 100% cash today. Already made my annual target %+ for the year by buying the dip on TQQQ at like $35. Scaled out chunks over the past few weeks. Thanks for the exit liquidity, regards (and retirees with their yuge tax returns). I'll make sure not to spend it wisely at all
Dude yes. Been doing 0dte SPX for years. Favorite trade. *i did TQQQ this week though.
So should I borrow as much as I can against my paid off house and buy TQQQ?
**Dear SPY, I wrote you but you still ain't climbin'** I checked the pre-market, the futures, and the after-hours timin' I sent two limit orders back in autumn, you must not have filled 'em There probably was a problem with the bid-ask or somethin' Sometimes the spreads get wide when the volume's thin But anyways, screw it, what's been up, man? How's your P/E? My portfolio's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a bag-holder If it's a ten-bagger I'ma name it TQQQ I'ma name it after you I read about the Fed announcement too, I'm sorry I had a friend short himself over some puts that didn't print for him I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest bull I even got the weekly calls, the ones that expire Friday I got a room full of your candlestick charts and I love 'em I like when you gap up too, that was fun Anyways, I hope you hit 600, hit me back Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest degen This is Stan
TQQQ didn’t exist pre-2000. Simulations are all well and good, but the market conditions, liquidity, information flow, technology today aren’t the same as pre-2000 and people need to stop bringing up one of the worst crashes in all of history. Levered ETFs can have a place in a risk adjusted portfolio that is not a “Yolo”. That being said, options on a levered security is just asking for disaster. Just do one or the other.
TQQQ hasn't even fully recovered to pre-2000 crash.

what if you had invested $10K into TQQQ on February 5th, 2016? How much would you have then?
Dumb thing to compare. What about VGT then? TQQQ? Or just stock picking lol
Sold MSFT for 3% profit and moved funds to TQQQ. Either I make money faster now or lose money faster. Yolo.
I'm never buying calls at market open or on a Monday ever again. I'm stuck holding the bag on TQQQ now
Honest question, what is stopping me from holding back a thousand in cash and when the eventual dip/ crash happens, pour it into TQQQ due to how decay works?
TMF: 3x Long Bond ETF currently at record lows ("Blood in the streets"). Bond yields currently look primed to break higher on high inflation worries. Look for this to materialize, driving a slump in the overall US market. Similar to 2019-2020 response to tariff backlash and the COVID Crash, expect the FED to begin buying up long bonds in response, generating a potential 13x return. Then swiftly rotate into your favorite beaten down tech stocks at that time (eg. TQQQ, SOXL) to ride that wave back up.
when your gf ask you if you have a lambo, do you wanna say no?? GO BUY THAT TQQQ RN
Told myself I was done buying today, but itching to buy TQQQ calls before close. Someone tell me NO
It was, because of the rally. TQQQ $50 5/15 C had a 20x return just 1 month later.
Is TQQQ the most delusional subreddit
Take a look at my TQQQ submission the reasoning is there.
TQQQ, SOXL, NVDL, TSMX, MUU, etc
I'd sell TQQQ and buy 3XTIPS with Bombaclat Volatility Decay Protection Insurance Swap 40x anyway if it was available.
This. People need to think of "beating" the S&P on risk metrics, that's the challenge, not just temporary gains. Anyone can easily go all-in e.g. TQQQ and would outperform massively each bull run, with >90% drawdowns around the corner.
What about leveraged etfs like TQQQ - when vol spikes and VIX gets above 25 then get exposure to TQQQ. You need to understand volatility decay and daily rebalancing so hold for shorter timeframes. Also if you wanted to long SVIX that could be another option. I managed to get filled around 9.50 last year during tariff season and that paid pretty good.
Holding both SOXS and TQQQ. One of them is gonna lose on Monday
If you're asking about automated orders - just ask Claude Code to build a program to use the IBKR API to create an order with a stop loss. Those TQQQ buys in the screenshot were done manually though. BOT means buy, SLD means sold.
Lots of people on the TQQQ sub saying they wanna get in. Mirrors this sub and memory after a 1000% runup. I'm not gay but I think the top is in for many of these stocks
I am going to drop 500k on TQQQ on the next crash. If you want to see me do it type ilovecathywood
I’ve been trimming my TQQQ and use VGT for my tech etf
You are jumping the fire too early, market is supposed to go down further and setlled down to a bottom, sometime next week. I have been waiting for this healthy pull back for around a week. All I have is just 1 share of SLV, 1 share of TQQQ and 1 share of SOXL. You gave me idea. Sure, I will take DRAM and SLV calls when I feel bottomed.
Many are having a lot of luck doing “TQQQ and chill”
The math is right but the input is wrong. Delta is risk neutral probability, not real world probability of ITM, and on OTM puts the divergence goes in your favor on the right underlying. The variance risk premium (VRP) is the empirical observation that implied volatility on equity index options has been persistently above realized vol since the 1990s. On SPX the long run average is implied roughly 17 percent and realized roughly 13 to 14 percent. That gap translates to delta overstating real world ITM probability on OTM puts by something like 30 to 50 percent. So a 10 delta put has roughly a 6 to 7 percent real world probability of expiring ITM, not 10. That flips your EV calc positive on an SPX style underlying. The problem with your specific position is the underlying. TQQQ is 3x leveraged QQQ, and the daily rebalancing structure means realized vol often runs hot relative to implied because path dependent moves get magnified. Empirically the VRP on 3x leveraged ETFs is much smaller and sometimes negative. So on TQQQ specifically, delta as a proxy for ITM probability is probably closer to accurate, and your math saying you need real probability below 7.2 percent to be positive EV is probably real. Two structural points: first, the strategy works on broad indexes (SPY, IWM, QQQ) where VRP is well documented, not on leveraged products. Second, even where VRP exists, it's not a free lunch. The same VRP that gives you positive EV in calm regimes turns sharply negative during vol expansion events (Feb 2018, March 2020, Q4 2022). The historical return profile is small steady gains punctuated by occasional large losses, so the realized Sharpe is not great even when EV is positive.
Put it all in TQQQ and call it a day
TQQQ is where it's at. On margin! What could go wrong? If you know, don't tell me. 🤣
10k in $TQQQ. Sorry about that.
Just bought some TQQQ shares to hedge my puts in case this retard shit wants to be green by open or Axios happens
Yea this post is dumb as hell. There is tons of things that can happen. No one really knows what the “straw that breaks the camel’s back” will truly be, but there is various things that could happen. What “popped” the Dotcom bubble? It was a combination of things unfolding, mainly stemming from the revelation that there may not be the immense profitability or ROI on the cash burning that has gone on across the hyperscalers, suppliers, AI labs, neoclouds, etc. Like you said, the curtain could get pulled back on AI labs’ paths to profitability. Anthropic and OpenAI have been burning cash but aren’t profitable. And with an insane amount of margin debt being used in brokerage accounts at record levels, things could get bad quickly at any “crack.” Furthermore, SOXL, the 3x Semiconductor ETF, has seen \~$4B of net inflows over the last month. TQQQ net $2b nearly and there is a crazy amount of $ in leveraged ETFs right now. Among the biggest potential “bubble poppers”: 1. NVDA - the largest company in the world at the center of the entire trade driving the market, shows any sign of slowing GPU growth or other hiccups in earnings report or call. They comprise 8% of the S&P 500 and 6.5% of the entire US stock market… a sell off in the stock would send the market spiraling instantly just based on the leverage being used across the market. 2. Hyperscalers reveal plans for CAPEX reductions and doubts that the immense spending may not lead to the ROI and growth that everyone has been overly pricing in. 3. Datacenter construction projects get cancelled or a prominent politician or some kind of uprising against the insane amount of datacenter construction that many people have been upset with and their impact on electricity costs (which have surged 60% in 4 years) hit a breaking point or garner large-scale attention 4. “The great write-off”; CEOs begin using language about needing to increase utilization of the thousands of chips currently sitting in warehouses collecting dust and they begin getting written off in financial statements and hyperscaler depreciation cycles begin 5. The fed does a surprise rate cut; pretty self explanatory
Not downside per se, but more the opportunity cost of keeping the funds in RKLB or invested somewhere else. If you think RKLB is the best investment then roll. Else, let the shares be called away and invest elsewhere into 0 DTE TQQQ calls.
I used to assume some people in here were delusional but then I found out the TQQQ subreddit
I have 40k cash now to do the same with TQQQ if another loco moment happens.
That’s not how the math works, and not what I meant. If the market drops 50%, a normal 1x leveraged etf will have to gain 100% to recover. A 2x leveraged etf will be almost completely wiped out and cannot mathematically recover. TQQQ is 3x leveraged!
My TQQQ has been ripping assholes this week, I love it
TQQQ is far worse than VT over the long run for anyone reading this. Leveraged etfs are awful long term investments
TQQQ is up twice as much as SPYU YTD btw
I've long term held TQQQ in a 401k. I intend to go 2x once i'm near retirement. I think you should go for the 2x version for sanity and security.
Why didn’t u add more to your positions over 16 years, also I just checked TQQQ would’ve made u $24m crazy.
TQQQ on margin using a personal loan is the hack for financial freedom
wats so hard about cycling in and out? sure you take less profit (IF) it rips but, it’s menial, and you have a self-rebalancing aspect? I scaled out of my larger TQQQ/SPXL positions, and just running a couple cheap calls to offset the possibility of further upside and losing that profit. if i’m wrong, profits were taken and losses become menial.
TQQQ calls would have made me tens of thousands this week damn. Oh well life goes on
I have TQQQ 75c 06/05. Up 100%. What should I do?
Thx. I think I might quit trading options for good and jump into TQQQ or UPRO. I have been doing some stock trading on my wife’s IRA (we turned off options for her) and looks like ai have solid returns with stocks
just fking uninclude MSFT so that all our TQQQ, QQQ and SPY calls can print more
5Y CAGR is greater than TQQQ with a less volatility and a beautiful trendline
Got 2K to play with but I'm not sure what to invest in. TQQQ calls or some more MU? Edit: Gamble* tf this isnt investing
Oh then you should do LETFs such as TQQQ to pick from. Very diversified and high-return without much risk in this scenario.
yep. DCA all the way. not TQQQ long term, because if you do, you will get wiped out.
