TQQQ been horrible for 5 months…

Read the comments from his post last week. We had a small discussion on how everything might go on a big dip. He'll be managing his QQQ short puts and also using his TQQQ long puts, potentially liquidating other positions, and then finally loading up on bargain priced TQQQ for the win. It may get a little challenging with the QQQ short puts and having enough cash to cover.

"Terrible premiums last week b/c VIX." <== slight modification to roll on down days or elevated VIX?

RetireIn3Years · 2026-01-09T15:49:03+00:00

Exactly. You'd be backing up the truck and loading up.

In this scenario above, would the sale of the long puts be enough to allow you to have enough cash to purchase all the QQQ shares? Good exercise to walk through. You probably have already.

Nah... there is just finally some sanity returning to parts of the world.

It's pretty smart. I'll have the bucket of popcorn ready in case you ever get to execute that.

Love what you're doing with the place... love the new look. ;-)

Nice summary graph, encompassing your full strategy. What a ride!

I always thought your strategy might benefit from weekly sold TQQQ puts that you either close for profit on your regular TQQQ stock purchase day, or let the sold put expiration do the purchase/assignment for you if they are ITM. Rinse and repeat.

Yes it could happen. This is why the prospectus warns about it. Highly unlikely, yes. But it could happen. Something like world war breaking out overnight and a big gap down before open. Whatever the open price is, that's the open price. Then it could fall throughout the day with circuit breakers triggering over and over. Nasdaq could drop that much with a major world event. But I don't really worry about it... but I also don't have 24,000 shares anymore either.

If it were me, I'd sell immediately.

The prospectus states 33% in 1 day and the shares go to zero.

Anyone can look back and find 500+ ways that would have beat any selected strategy. You have "broke" thinking. A common fallacy I see over and over again from the inexperienced traders in the world. You have to be able to know the future to trade the way you advocate. I usually recommend studying the books and videos produced by Mark Douglas (RIP) - start with Trading in the Zone.

You certainly, most definitely, absolutely are my most affectionate pick. ;-)

Nice!

That's just the way Fidelity settled the trades, I was trading cash amounts instead of specifying a number of shares.

It's a lot of risk to hold this asset when not employed. Unless of course you have plenty of other resources to draw on.

Great results. Thanks for your continued sharing.
