WAIT
Will likely see at least another 10% downside for the NASDAQ. AAPL is a good example, as it's downside level is roughly another 10% away. Fed talk is that rates are going to be higher for longer. A lot of people are focused on the longer term chart being up and to the right, where you can buy the dip and immediately see another leg higher. Very strong likelihood that a lot of these growth names are going to be locked in a trading range. It had a peak and then a correction.
DON'T BUY
US dollar version of the NASDAQ 100. He prefers to stay with the big tech names. Tech probably won't be the leader even in the early part of the cycle. If we're negative on tech, do you really want to short it? Problem is that we could have some massive rallies in the market when the attention turns back to tech, and then you might be caught. Probably too late to short tech stocks at this point.
SELL
She just sold this. That said, history says you need to technology to perform in order for the S&P to reach new highs. Tech has rallied 20% off the bottom. She sold QQQ and just bought JEPQ instead. JEPQ owns the Nasdaq 100 but sells 3-5% out of the money calls. As volatility remains high, she still gets that tech exposure but in a more defensive way. We won't get this V-shaped rally for the rest of the year.
COMMENT
To hedge, you need puts to the downside in something like QQQ.
COMMENT
QQQ vs. SOXX vs. TDOC QQQ and SOXX, he has no idea where the market's going to be next month, next quarter, or this year. All he knows is that there's going to be a lot of volatility. So it's an environment of less investing, more trading. Have to be nimble, active. SOXX charts very well, it's the DOW modern day Transport Index, so you need to watch it. He was in TDOC a year ago, and backed away. Healthcare and biotech have had a difficult time.
BUY
With an October expiration, a $380 at the money put would cost you only 2.2%. Cheap.
BUY
If the Fed raises interest rates There's a misunderstanding that when tapering occurs, interest rates go up. Actually, they go down post-QE. If you think tech stocks will still act like a bond-like security, then a rate move up will benefit tech. She takes the contrarian view to go long tech, based on her disagreeing with the consensus that the US 10-year yield will hit 2% by year's end. The market is baking in volatility already within QQQ's price.
BUY
The trend is your friend, and stay long in this.
COMMENT
Having a tilt towards tech has worked well. While we get into low inflation, these will do well. There are signs that underlying the surface of index returns, the market may not be as healthy as it might appear. A narrow group of stocks are driving the returns.
DON'T BUY
Chinese stocks vs. QQQ stocks (U.S. tech) He prefers China-related. There's been such negative rhetoric with anything China-based, especially Chinese stocks, like delisting. But this has died down. The rotation will still hit the stocks in QQQ, so he'd rather buy Chinese stocks.
BUY
A lot of stocks have pulled back because of interest rates going up. A buying opportunity. A lot of companies in the NASDAQ will continue to do well. It's not like 2000. These are real companies with real businesses. Incredible balance sheets, no debt, very strong growth profiles.
DON'T BUY
The top 10 stocks of the NASDAQ 100 represent 58% of market cap weight. It's a narrow market. In the next 6-12 months, it could continue to work. The biggest risk is change in tax policy from the US which could affect the ability of tech stocks to avoid their tax responsibility. He wouldn't be chasing this right now.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
He loves technology in general. There are better ways to play it. You might want to go 15-20% into tech. He would wait for the pull back here. Dollar cost average in over the next couple of months.
COMMENT

QQQ vs ZQQ? He thinks the Canadian dollar has over shot its real value here, so that factors into a Canadian hedged ETF. On an annual basis you should expect subdued growth for the next while. Having a decent weight in the NASDAQ makes sense.
