SQ SQQQ ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ Loading... : Bullish and Bearish Analyst Opinions

Author describes using bearish ETFs like SQQQ, TZA, and SOXS for shorting in downtrends but frames it as a personal preference and strategy discussion, not a current position or explicit forward call.

A +5 upvoted comment recommends buying $SQQQ (3x inverse QQQ) for a morning sell-off on hot PPI. Another user (+6) also expects SPY -2.5%. The thread acknowledges that “bad PPI already priced in” but if the number surprises hot, tech-heavy QQQ could drop sharply. SQQQ offers leveraged downside. Scalp SQQQ at market open if PPI prints hot; exit quickly as rally may resume by afternoon. PPI soft or in line could cause immediate gap up; leverage magnifies losses; the overall sentiment is bullish, so this is a contrarian play.

The author observes a market phenomenon where short ETF shilling faces less backlash than garbage stock shilling, but offers no personal directional view.

Bought SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq ETF) puts at 23.85 — a bearish-on-SQQQ / bullish-Nasdaq bet.

Long 3x inverse Nasdaq ETF (SQQQ) to bet on forced selling by major tech names (GOOG, AMZN, AAPL, MSFT) in a liquidity crunch.

Bought SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq) into the close — a directional bet on equity downside.

A major geopolitical crisis is unfolding in the Middle East, with direct military conflict and retaliation involving the US and Iran. Such a significant escalation, threatening global energy supplies and economic stability, will trigger a flight to safety and a broad market sell-off, particularly in tech-heavy indices like the Nasdaq 100. The author explicitly states that a surge in SQQQ (an inverse Nasdaq 100 ETF) is likely on Monday, indicating a strong bearish conviction on the market due to geopolitical shock. The market could have already priced in some of the risk, or a diplomatic breakthrough could lead to a relief rally, causing a sharp loss for this inverse position.
