SPY
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust
stock NYSE ETF

I, (26M, USA) currently have a full time job making around 60K, more than enough to cover my living expenses and save quite a bit per month (about $1000). I recently got an inheritence of $15K. I already have a 3 month savings cushion, no debt, and match my employer's 401k contribution.
I want invest some of this money, maybe not all since my parter and I plan to get married in near future and will need some cash for that, I'm thinking 3-5K to invest. I'm really looking to get my feet wet with invetsting, I have never done it before but have read a bit so I know my best option is likely index funds. I really want to just set it and forget it, let it grow for a few years (5-7ish) and re - evaluate my position then, risk tolerance would be relatively low. I know the market is unpredicatable and all that, but I'm just not sure where to even begin. I've heard that VOO, SPY, QQQ are good options for index funds. Shoud I put all 3-5K in one? Should I spread it out evenly across a few? Any recommendations of which fund to go with or to not go with? Should i invest more than 3-5K knowing that I'll need a portion of it in 1.5 years? Any and all advice is welcome. show me differnt angles, I am also not opposed to setting up automatic recurring investments since I've heard sometimes it's better to do that instead of buying all stock at one price. Thanks in advance

Low costing stocks to hold???
That's a difficult answer. You typically need to monitor low costing stocks (penny stocks) because they can be very volatile.
If you can't monitor what is the hot penny stock on the regular, it's probably best to just buy what you can in $QQQ and $SPY and hold. Other than that its more of gambling. Sure, you can get lucky and be at %200 in a couple months but you really don't know if you would just lose it or it wouldn't go anywhere without thorough research and stop losses.

Put options on SPY for tomorrow hella expensive. Probably a little pullback to end the week where last week ended at 657.

I bought SPY. Bull market over!!!

0DTE SPY contracts auto sell at 3:30 correct?

Yeah, it’s pretty simple. I trade off price action and volume first. If it’s moving clean with volume, I’m interested. I’ll use RSI here and there just to spot when something’s stretched, but it’s not a main trigger. ATR and VWAP stay on my charts as references, but I don’t lean on them to make entries.
For tickers I stick to big liquid names (SPY, QQQ, TSLA, NVDA, AMD, AAPL, etc.) and then add in whatever has big premarket moves or news that day. For example, MSTR, SOFI, HOOD and OKLO were big movers for me today. Missed the boat on INTC yesterday, oh well.
To be clear, I trade options, so I just need something that's moving sort of quick and with tight contract spreads so I can get in and out quick.

Ha, good luck with that.
Mind sharing the analysis that leads you to such a specific prediction?
"Gone up too much" is not good enough.
If SPY is down 6% from current levels by end of Monday, I will officially hire you as my financial advisor.
