Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)

QQQ vs XLK? XLK has a large position in MSFT and AAPL, whereas the QQQ is more diversified. To broaden the exposure he might add KWEB that adds exposure into the Asian marketplace, including BABA. He thinks these holdings will continue to crush things.

(A Top Pick Dec 04/18, Up 32%) Great tech ETF.

[Is there an unhedged version or can he recommend a NASDAQ version] Larry recommends the QQQ-Q as there is no unhedged Canadian version.

Not for everyone, because it covers the tech sector which has been beaten until valuations are now reasonable. It holds 10% Apple, 10% Amazon and some Facebook. If you're aggressive and like tech, this is the place to go.

(A Top Pick May 18/18, Up 12%) Economic growth for technology is well beyond what he’s ever seen. Technology mitigates seasonal downturns. Trend of higher highs, higher lows. Apple’s vulnerability could bring it down.

The NASDAQ has been on fire and this represents that as a proxy. It is back to recent highs, so he would wait for a break to new highs, wait two days and then buy if it holds strength. He would not buy until the new highs have been made.

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.

Tracks the NASDAQ. The strength on technology is equivalent to the one seen on the late 1990. But we don’t have that crazy valuations. Growth companies. Not really cyclical.

(A Top Pick Dec 19/17, Up 5%) The market has turned when the large caps have failed to perform. The seasonal period has finished but we are still on track. Hold it and wait for a secondary pull back with techs next month.
