Unless the reflation/inflation trade comes back the NQ will continue to outperform. The dollar & bonds have to go lower in order for the YM to come back as the leading future. The euro has been very weak since the Fed meeting so it doesn't look good, for now at least. BA this morning gapped...

I think it makes more sense to scan for stocks that beat the QQQ not SPY since most likely your multi baggers will come from some mega growth company from the NASDAQ. I think the last 15 months have got to be some sort of anomaly so I think your results will be tainted by that. As for swing...

I trade a lot of the SPDR sector ETF options and without a doubt the 2 most liquid is XLF & XLK. XRT & XLV are pretty liquid too. The worst are the housing & transports (XHB & IYT). XLE is very liquid but the XOP isn't liquid at all. Of course I only but naked calls & puts.

The FFTY is considered Mid-Cap Growth so that explains why it gets blown out by the QQQ but sadly it even underperforms the iShares MId-Cap Growth ETF (IWP) long-term. The FFTY is up 92% since inception (4/2015) vs. the IWP which is up 131%. That explains the low daily volume and the 2 Star...

I appreciate your optimism but this is really a lottery mentally. I mean if you are already all in how are you going to buy more? Its the same reason the WSB yolo traders will lose everything if they don't sell before the Fed ends the free money. They have all their money in 2 worthless...

$12,670 is the bottom (1/5)*($63350).

WTI went down 0.9% when the US Dollar went up 2% from 6/15-6/18. It should have been down a lot more but since it wasn't it probably goes higher for now.

If it wasn't the rate hikes then what was the cause of the December 2018 collapse?

Given the propensity for BTC for fall 75-80% its more likely that you will see $15-$20K.

This thread is a little confusing to me. I thought anyone using TA is automatically a trend follower? In terms of Darvas and his momentum "boxes" you look at something like DPZ back in 2011 when it hit all time highs it never really broke down until Q4 2019 and by that time it went from $40 to...

This is a great description of even the current SF Bay Area. I live in Berkeley and you can add in that no one follows any of rules either.

Actually FNGU has done better than both since its inception in January 2018 (1/22/2018): TQQQ 238% SOXL 221% FNGU 406% Of course YTD none of those have done anything compared the the inflation plays: SOXL 25% FNGU 7% FAS 100% (3X XLF) NAIL 90% (3X XHB) ERX 84% (2X...

Do these findings mean that intraday only (scenario 3 - scenario 1) is only worth 59% over 28 years? That's interesting as well. So overnight only in a tax deferred account this strategy looks good.

I've seen him on interviews on Fast Money and the Halftime Show on CNBC and he doesn't seem to be a real big risk taker. His investment advice is to just go long the FAANG trade. He rarely ever talks about the high growth stocks which is strange since that is what Shark Tank is all about.

With markets all near highs why is the VIX so high? In November 2017 the VIX hit a low of 8.56 right before it skyrocketed to 50+ in February 2018. Is the VIX at 19 because like a lot of traders here nobody really trusts it to be real?

Yeah I only trade these 3X Sector ETFs on a technical basis using the 50-day SMA. I sold most of my SOXL, LABU & FNGU in early April. I completely exited LABU & FNGU about 3 weeks ago. Higher interest rates will continue to wreak havoc on these negative earnings companies as well as the triple...

Actually the most amazing Direxion 3X ETF since the Pandemic bottom was FNGU -- 3X FANG+ Index. https://research.ameritrade.com/grid/wwws/research/uploadhandler/z15997c0az55c8cad5c7a14e658c8139209c514775.png From 3/16/2020 to 5/20/2021 FNGU 848% (1354%) SOXL 713% (975%) TQQQ 452%...

There are options on ARKK. Huge premium due to 3% daily volatility. I sold most of my ARK, ARKG & IPO holdings back in March since it dropped below the 50-day & support on the downside. It was a great trade from April 2020 to Feb 2021, but those companies in 10 months factored in 5-10 years of...

Wow Twitter is now up 22% since the open ($46) on 11/8/2013 -- what a disaster. It actually underperformed the TLT (up 34%) without adding back dividends. Facebook is up 585% in the same time period. The real question is why does everyone love this crappy stock?

The e-mini Bitcoin future (0.1 BTC) is coming soon to the CME on 5/3/21. I don't know if it will be available on IB by then.
