IWM
iShares Russell 2000 ETF
stock NYSE ETF

IWM and FNDB have performed significantly different over the last decade so this would not be an adequate recommendation.

It's likely that funds are moving cash from their winners to their losers. I tend to think many money managers do realize we are in a bubble and they are trying to minimize their risks.
Would you rather buy cheap stocks that may lose another 20% or hold onto the bubble stocks that will get cut in half or more? And if the AI circle jerk bubble continues those IWM stocks will prolly also rally.
My worthless 2 cent opinion.

i do think higher rates hurt IWM disproportionately but the chart looks really clean.
KRE is another one i am eyeing for a short. Which is the regional bank ETF but will do so after this week's QRA

too much too fast on too much fraud and too little cash flow.
IWM Puts just added. I get semis running because people dont understand the concept of cash flows and bubbles... but IWM pumping makes no sense as those companies suck and depend on cheap debt and oil

The benchmark for FNDB is the Russell 3000 index so pick another ETF that uses the same (or equivalent) benchmark and has a lower expense ratio.
For example - IWM.

IWM, the crappiest index that is also impacted by tariff and oil the most, is up like 11% on the 1 month chart.
Crazy.

IWM/small caps +infinity%

With all of the recent developments in the Macro environment - wars, tariffs, AI, software meltdowns,….I have gotten away from individual stocks for the time being so I am in SPY, IWM, GLD, QQQ exclusively. I don’t have to spend my time analyzing company data metrics, just have to pay attention to the news and my options greeks.

I have stupid OTM IWM calls that I'm hoping some even higher regard overpays for on the next round of (fake) talks.
On the flipside, saw a video breaking down this Rally as a perfect storm of a short squeeze snd more convinced than ever it will crash as soon as some selling momentum picks up. 
Of all things that caused the rally, it was massive shorts being covered as a huge catalyst (according to the vid, not my dumb ass).
So inverse, there might not be as much shorting involved from the sting of this rally, and that will propel a crash even more because it'll be nothing but algorithmic selling triggering algorithmic selling.

Wondering if RC is going to play the "wheel" on ebay, doubtful though. Another possibility is RC doing the hedgies thing and entering in a equity swap since ebay also seems to be at the mercy of OTC fukery. Most likely none of this is true and the take over is everything that its supposed to be. Looking at the big ETFs there is still a massive amount of puts OI deep OTM for May 15th and June 18th 2.8 million puts OTM for SPY on the 15th and 2 million for June 18th and the red headed stepchild to SPY, IWM has 1.7 million for May 15 and 1.5 million for June 18th. XRT also rebalances on June 18.

How does this work on index options? SPY/QQQ/IWM. Do you generate signals at all?

I only do one trade a day with a profit of $10-15 per option contract. I am thinking of switching one of the cash account from TastyTrade to margin account to day trade options. TastyTrade allows 5 accounts. This will avoid waiting for next day settlement.
There are always more than one opportunity to trade on most days on ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc. I find options much easier to profit and grow a small account compared to futures.
Anyone else thinking of doing this once they offer this in July? TastyTrade announce they will offer this as soon as it is approved.

There’s a lot of uncertainty right now and overvaluation in an overextended bull market. I’d put the vast majority into short-term treasury ETFs (VGSH and SHY), which are attractive right now since yields are elevated. They will get you 4%+ interest a month. Then sell some of the treasuries when the stock market 15%+ correction inevitably happens and buy cheaper broad market ETFs (VOO and IWM). Hedge funds have been dumping stocks for a reason guys

9.7% peak-to-trough for the S&P, 12.8% for QQQ, 12.1% for IWM, so a correction by definition. Underselling it as 8% to make your point look valid is hilarious though 😂
All that said, the concentration risk for both SPX & QQQ are skewed by mega-cap exposure. If those companies aren't impacted as much, why wouldn't they rebound?

IWM caught up and every industry was green

* Arcanis_Ender 12/8/2025 comment: Swaps allow the parties to effectively hide their positions from the public. Bullet swaps were famously used by Bill Hwang to blow up his family office Archegos Capital via margin call as well as the counterparty involved--Credit Suisse. Those bags passed on to UBS who was forced by their government to absorb them and their toxic liabilities. The swiss government opted to HIDE (seal) the swap data regarding Credit Suisse collapse for 50 years as well. Swaps are very hard to trace by their nature, but they allow parties to have hidden short positions from their structure without actively impacting the Short Interest % of a stock. This keeps the cost to borrow low, just like when a market maker abuses their creation/redemption privileges on an ETF to artificially inflate supply of a stock that would otherwise have low liquidity.

* Long-Setting [11/1/2025 post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1olv8ox/memorandum_for_the_record_due_diligence_report_on/) - Snippet: A total return swap (TRS) is a derivative contract where one party (e.g., a hedge fund) receives the total economic performance (gains/losses, dividends) of a reference asset (e.g., $GME shares) from a counterparty (e.g., a bank), in exchange for periodic payments based on a fixed/variable rate. Unlike direct short sales, TRS allow synthetic exposure without borrowing shares, evading "locate" requirements and enabling indefinite position recycling.

Hi all,
Looking for some advice on what to do with \~$100k cash that we have sitting in a checking account, debating putting a big chunk in the market. I'm 31 yo, looking to buy my first house in the next two years and would like to liquidate some of my investments to do so. My trading account has 270k in it, have $500 monthly automatic deposits into SPY, could probably bump up.
My investing strategy has shifted to just putting $ into SPY but have little amounts here and there in ETFs or single stocks but when I see how good my returns have been with SPY, makes me debate shifting my whole portfolio there. Including my portfolio positions below. I use Fidelity.

Look at a range, it's mixed. QQQ IWM RSP QQEW XLF XLV and BTC
Most stocks/sectors are lagging, the Qs are leading. And big enough to keep dragging the index up.
