Premium contentThe investment seeks investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the index. To maintain the correspondence between the composition and weights of the securities in the trust (the "securities") and the stocks in the NASDAQ-100 Index®, the adviser adjusts the securities from time to time to conform to periodic changes in the identity and/or relative weights of index securities. The composition and weighting of the securities portion of a portfolio deposit are also adjusted to conform to changes in the index. Social media mentions are up 144% in the past 24h.
Market timing of course is rarely perfect nor recommended. On a fundamental basis, lower interest rates (expected) and improving corporate profits (likely) are good for the tech sector. But anything that changes these expectations could result in a sell off even just on profit taking alone. Still, conditions we think favour buyers right now, and we would be comfortable buying QQQ.

TQQQ gives you performance that's 3x the daily (an important distinction) performance of the NASDAQ 100, magnified returns and magnified risk. Be very cautious of this strategy.
QQQ gives exposure mostly to tech, and larger weightings in the Magnificent 7. He owns some of those names, but he's very cautious of owning the broader tech index, as valuations are extended.
He just sold it after buying it at $368. Is feeling bearish about the rest of the year. Tech and communication services will offer the only chance of a Q4 rally. And yes, he sold QQQ right before megatech reports next week, and those reports could be good. What changed his mind was the Fed, appearing that they won't quit raising interest rates (Jay Powell spoke yesterday).
He just bought the dip in megatech. Expects upside in megatech in Q4 as the market chases performance. Megatech will deliver such returns.
Joe TerranovaPremium contentIn order, this basket holds Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia and Meta as its top five holdings. All have outperformed in 2023, especially Nvidia. QQQ pays a dividend of 0.57%, but charges only a 0.2% MER. True to the stocks this basket holds, QQQ is no income name, but an ETF to trade when tech peaks and slides. On that note, consider this when the market declines a few more percentage points.

The market is about managing risk. He just bought a short-term, establishing position in QQQ. This could ride re-positioning in the market at little risk.

He sees recent lows being higher and with higher volume. It is not making new highs, but it is supportive. Be careful, you may need to sustain a $15 loss. He would hold no more than 1% of this in a speculative holding. This is an unusually risky index.
