IWM
iShares Russell 2000 ETF
stock NYSE ETF

While there are tons of good ETFs, here are a few to consider: VOO - US Large Cap, IWM - US Small Cap, VXUS - International, SCHD - Dividend and Income, BND - Bonds & Fixed Income, QQQM -US Technology Growth, SCHG - Broad Based Growth, VTV - Large Cap Value, VT - Global Market

IWM same price it was at 9:45am, today is so fkn lame

Stick to SPY, QQQ, & IWM. Buy LEAPS 18-24 months out. Run “covered calls” against the LEAPS. I do 1DTE until price breaches the strike. Then just roll it out enough until you can get a credit and let time do its thing. Roll your LEAPS when they have gained significant value, or at 3-6 months DTE. You make money/income regardless of which direction the market goes.

Hello everyone. Been pretty stupid with my money keeping it in my high yield savings account. Have 50k in there and looking to invest around 45 into the market. I don’t really see a point in investing in individual stocks. Was thinking etf’s like Voo. Can anyone give me 5-6 ETFs for long term growth? I do hold some IWM currently. Thank you.

Whoopsie. Not even on SPY or QQQ;I bought IWM calls.
I think i might be a regard, guys.

IWM 1dte 283 puts what can I say 🤷

ATM 1dte IWM Puts let's roll!  🎰🎰🎰

I would not expect IWM to do well after CPI and PPI showed a fairly hefty inflation rate...which would in turn mean either no rate cuts, or possible rate hikes...typically. If Donaldino Pumperino get's his way, we would have lower rates, and higher inflation....just put the economy into red hot overdrive.

IWM not joining the rally right now, telling yall IWM is gonna be the first one to dump. cant even get to ATH this week

3rd trade of the week. Green with Greed 🐇 Got in calls at 9.49 ET with 3 contracts. No fancy options strategy. I put 100% take profit. I wanted it to hit $75 per contract profit.
Today, was weird day, usually IWM moves similar trend to SPY but today, it was completely opposite way! Some would say market manipulation, pumping S&P with all these AI bubble, etc but I don't care, I play what is on the chart, that's it.
I did get 92% profit withing 10min in the trade. It was already in profit of $200 but with the greed 😅, I wanted it to hit this $225 to auto close, so I stayed in.
One and done: 3 contracts = $225 total profit
Total options cost = $225
Time in trade: 56 min. Quite long morning glory trade, not really worth the stress.
Started this week account of $300 and growing it to $60,000 with 1 trade a day, is still my goal.
Strategy is trading one trade a day, 2-5 times. I have been trading for a bit of time and can spot the psychological levels and how it is moving. On IWM, 280-283 is a tricky level and I don't want to stick to long with an open position at this number. It has been oscillating between these levels for long time.
I only day trade options on ETFs on my phone. Timestamp on the broker is UK time. So, entry time of 2.49 is 9.49 ET.

IWM gave a great dip and delay for solid 0DTE calls today. Big help in rebuilding the account I blew up last week averaging down to nothing on my calls. 31.6k this week from the 2k I had to scrounge up to put myself back in the game. I'm eatin' nuggets tonight.

10:40ct time I bought $284 puts on IWM at 47c a pop. Not for a single moment I was up. Just lit up my money on fire

Grabbed more IWM July Puts. 
This Recession might make 2007 look like just a dip but at the very least could be mistaken for it's twin.

IWM puts are the play, no semis to keep dragging them up, rate and oil sensitive. IWM will be first to drop

I closed both OA and Tradier because of Tradier. Just could never get good fills with Tradier and they would take 3-4 hours to finally fill. Schwab fills in < 10 minutes (normally instant), E*Trade fills in seconds to minutes. Manually trade now with both of them (Schwab and E*Trade).
Have been thinking of opening an IBKR account (mainly to hold alternative currencies - not trade, just have in "savings account").
I was using Tradier because of the free OA, but OA not worth the price they charge for the limited trades I would do through them. Plus OA does not trade RUT directly, only through IWM, which does not cut it for me either.
Nice concept, good execution of the trade engine, just poor back ends for the actual trades.

I do index investing and swing trading with many of my positions, with exits and entries happening at the end of the day. For example, on May 15th, I might exit my position in IWM, sell all my shares, and then cycle into the SPY ETF.
The problem is I haven't found a quick way to do this. I have to exit about 15 minutes or more before the market closes, then calculate the shares, etc. I'll buy the SPY then.
If there's a broker out there, I could tell it at 4 p.m. to sell all IWM shares, then buy 100% of my available cash into SPY at 4 p.m./close.
I may be overlooking something here, but it's just a minor annoyance I'd like to automate if I could.
Currently, I'm with IBKR (Taxable), Fidelity (HSA), and Schwab (IRAs).
Thanks!

Going in and out of IWM $205 July 17 Puts. Same same but different answer to your question I think.

This is what I did
I got SPY at $679. It crashed to $630 during March and I thought the war wouldn’t end so fast so I sold calls at $650 to get premiums and for a while it worked. Then SPY shot up like crazy. Btw, I did the same thing for QQQ and IWM (I got all three)
What I did was roll them up until I am in profit
Yes, I now have to hold the stocks until June next year but to me it’s ok cos in my opinion, only two things will happen
The indexes go down in value and I can resume cc on them
The indexes go up and eventually they get assigned away but I’m ok cos they are in profit and I take it as a high paying fixed deposit
Also, I am selling bull put spreads on SPX so if the second thing happened (prices shot up), it means I am making a lot of money on the puts
If the stock price tanks like crazy so that my indexes cannot sell cc and my bull put spreads don’t work, the world is probably in chaos already
Of cos the most important thing is I never borrow money to own the stocks or run my spreads

That's interesting, but that's not what I'm seeing in the market right now. I think you might be expecting every stock to get crushed all at once, but that's not how markets generally roll over.
Several areas of the market are already starting to break down. Last week, both the Russell 2000 (IWM) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) began rolling over. European ETFs (EZU) are showing the same weakness. We're even seeing the leaders in semiconductors starting to struggle, with Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) being a prime example.
The reality is that a very limited number of names are pulling this market higher, which aligns perfectly with what we pointed out when we highlighted the downward-sloping advance-decline line. The breadth just isn't there.
If you have evidence that the market is going to continue higher from here, I'd genuinely love to hear your thesis. But simply saying I'm wrong and calling me an "old timer" without explaining why doesn't really add to the conversation.
