Your plan is coherent for a young, high-risk-tolerance investor who’s already used to volatility, but here are the main things you’re either under-weighting or could tweak: 1. 100% Mag-7 long-term is still a massive concentration bet The Magnificent 7 are only \~30% of the S&P 500 today and \~45-50% of the Nasdaq-100. Putting 100% there is materially riskier than “100% Nasdaq” and way riskier than 60/40 Nasdaq/ACWI. If the AI trade reverses or regulation/anti-trust hits hard, you could easily lag the broad market by 10-20% per year for multiple years (see 2000-2010 when the biggest tech names underperformed horribly). 2. Waiting on the sidelines with $24k for a “big correction” is classic performance chasing in disguise Statistically you’ll do better just getting the money to work now in something you believe in long-term. The Mag-7 have corrected 15-30% plenty of times in the last 3 years and still ended much higher. Cash has an opportunity cost, especially at your age. 3. Reasonable middle-ground that keeps the spirit of your plan but reduces single-theme blowup risk * 70-80% in QQQM or a Mag-7 proxy (there are single-ticker funds that are literally just the 7 now) * 20-30% in a semi-equal-weight Nasdaq-100 (QQQE) or broader growth (VUG, IWF, SCHG) so you still get AI exposure without everything riding on AAPL/MSFT/NVDA etc. This still feels aggressive (way more than 99% of people your age) but survives a 2022-style growth crash much better. 4. The 20% high-conviction AI/Nuclear/Quantum bucket is fine That’s basically your “reddit stock” fun money — just keep it to 10-20% max so one zero doesn’t nuke the whole portfolio. 5. Monthly $600 DCA starting now is perfect Do that regardless of what you do with the $24k lump sum. Bottom line: 100% Mag-7 forever is unnecessary to stay “risk-on.” You can still be very aggressive (80% Nasdaq-100 + 20% moonshots) and have dramatically better diversification and downside protection than pure Mag-7. If you truly won’t flinch watching it drop 50%+, then sure, send the 100% Mag-7 plan — but most people (even ones who survived meme stocks) discover they have limits when it’s their biggest pile of money ever. Otherwise deploy the $24k into something like 80% QQQM + 20% thematic over the next 3-6 months and keep pounding the $600/month. You’ll sleep fine and still capture almost all of the upside you’re chasing.
Check out QQQ versus QQQE. Or SPY versus RSP.
RSP and RSPA are equal weighted S&P 500 funds. QQEW and QQQE are equal weighted Nasdaq 100 funds.
God I hate big tech. QQQE -0.55%, QQQ 0.17%. MAG 7 just carrying the world right now
Assuming you are right, and lately I’ve been of the same mindset, in your opinion, what’s the move? Is it owning an equal weight tech index like QQQE to take advantage of mergers or do you just ride with cap weighted tech indexes? I own a decent amount of the Q’s and way too much Amazon, and I’m leaning strongly toward upping my tech ETF allocation.
word i wasn’t tryna be mean or anything. just wanted to emphasize how shitty robinhood is. if/when u wanna start trading, get a schwab account and use thinkorswim, formerly by td, schwab bought them… the transition was obnoxious but overall things have mostly remained the same. you’re young so putting some money into more aggressive investments like SPY/VOO, QQQ, QQQE etc. would be a smart move. wait for the next dip. don’t panic when it goes down - remember ur plan is to hold these for like 5-6 decades. get it all set up now and familiarize urself with everything and get comfortable with it. next big crash like 87, 01, 08, and 20 be prepared to buy tons of SPY and to a lesser extent some SPY LEAPS (about 2 years out with a strike price at or just below the level it was at pre crash) once its down 35-40% or so. dont buy all at once tho. stay away from wsb and 0dte bullshit, that’s literal gambling. overall ur plan u laid out is perfect. open a roth ira with fidelity and it’ll have ur money in SPAXX or something similar, u can buy SPY/VOO the next dip. put another $1k into a HYSA. last $1k keep in ur checking/savings. try to put a certain percent of each paycheck into both the HYSA and IRA. once you learn the market, u can start picking stocks… holding good blue chip companies for 40-60 years will pay off huge. just dont use money ur not willing to part with for those investments. never use money that wasn’t originally intended to be invested to trade anything. keeping those walls up will make sure ur always liquid and in the black.
I bought sold some of my positions this morning close to the peak and bought VOO at 455, AMZN at 170, QQQE at 70, and VTWO at 70. Only doing little chunks at a time.
I mean ... trying to start a business from the ground up rn ... so I post a bit, work a bit, that kind of thing. What would I do if I had money? Probably a mixture of SCHD, QQQE, QQQ, SPY, and the such (adjust to taste), solid things that have delivered for a long time AND are usually not concentrated. Some people will get lucky and pick the winners, but I think that there will be more losers than winners for a while and picking them up is gonna be difficult. I would not go all in at any point. I think things will get better in about 6-9 months, let's say 9 months, so 9 months x 4 weeks = 36, so I'd split my investment chunk in 40 or so chunks and weekly go in with a 1/40th of the roll ... integrating over time will be safer than trying to guess the top or bottom. Again, remember, I'm broke and unemployed :-P Not sure you should listen to me :-P
Not contrarian view. We are still in a bull market and bullishness should prevail. No one is predicting a bear market anytime soon. Ask yourself this question would you be long 2025 or short the SPY or VTI. The market is actually performing well on a broader basis. Look at tickers QQQE and RSP. That’s where you hide right now in the broader market as big tech had its run 2023-2024 it seems. People are dumping big tech to diversify kind of like beginning of 2022.

QQQE is way different than QQQ
> However, so far the cyclicality of the rally in QQQ is indicative - when it pulls back could be tomorrow, January 1, 15, or 31. Compare QQQ to QQQE. It's pretty much the Mag 7 carrying at this point, and they're starting to peter out even with the extremely high-volume inflows. > I feel it will be a lot harder to make money in 2025 and am broadening out into other sectors for at least the first quarter. I doubt it's time to get into oil in 2025 big, but hey, let's see what happens. My thesis changes on a dime. If you're bullish on natural resources, it's best to get into them at the bottom.
2 and 10 are running flat and close to the inversion point. Move from Mag 7 is really driving this current swing. You can validate by comparing SPY to RSP and QQQ to QQQE. The equal weight ETFs are moving at about half the loss which means it’s the heavy hitters driving everything down. IWM is down as well, might be a good time to load up on Russell calls with a timeline of a month out.
Take more risk when you are younger and under 25% your planned retirement portfolio value. Using a leveraged index ETF strategy with a stable fund like SCHD is great. 50TQQQ / 50SCHD outperformed the market amazingly the past 10yrs and with acceptable volatility and drawdown as a buy and hold strategy but is not recession proof. As you gain age and portfolio value, use less leverage to mitigate drawdown risk and volatility. Personally I use 50 QLD / 50 SCHD for my 401k in my late 30s that I rebalance yearly. I manage to outperform the base S&P by using slight leverage index ETF. If you want more diversification and a bit lower drawdown risk mix in VIT + SSO in place of the QLD. You can manage drawdown further by converting leveraged position to guiding index ETFs (i.e. QLD convert to QQQE) when the market begins to contract with a bear progression / recession or begin holding cash and bonds as an allocation. Convert back to leverage when the market begins to expand and grow again. Prioritize growth over drawdown risk when you are young. I am planning to stick with this current strategy until I am at least 45. Here is a 20yr backtest for quick analysis substituting DIA for SCHD due to fund similar performance and time span constraints- past performance does not predict the future - just be ready for a recession drawdown by willing to not participate with leverage and fully in the market is my advice. https://testfol.io/?d=eJy9kl9rwjAUxb9KyYNsUG0a7XAFGcNuTHDqrIgyhty1qWaLiaaZMsTvvrTuj3UIe9jWp%2BSec%2B%2F9nbYbNOXyEXgPFMxT5G9QqkHpSQyaIh8RjGtlXC%2BTOrIRFfFXneT1Kjb1XccKOPJdbB4bQfw0YSLhoJkUyE%2BAp9RGEaSzhMs18r3M9HGdJIouzcxbKfSMv5qBSnLOxHSyZiLO7C7Z2mghlU4kZ9JQ3m%2BQgHkG4mGrA2kMS6s6shzLXMPmTWBmMLGiqQ7YisWG2%2FRo9WIYFDVhQUT0erd0TEHlOzWLnqnazd6djdofd5uji3ajWrpqlEkFn3vGuaAqokJnKbb2njloXR6oDzaKFUyRnxu%2FEZM%2FJCYZsVs5I79AHIZd564dOMNBy8lYT0zf6f8AE68APNSsoB7EYbCv1opq2BsP%2Bu%2BL3ArO%2F%2BhPr%2BsdiV7qmS%2BEfx62IwU9FjUnKGzFhTf%2BsH0Dlv8dfA%3D%3D
i have 6 months E fund...(in 5.5% RH account) rest is 99.9% invested in diff index funds (VOO and the 11 SPDR sectors and QQQE)
I'd say the story in the Nasdaq today with a few notable exceptions (NVDA, AAPL, TSLA) is that the smaller caps are doing very well. I'm going to have to begrudgingly (since I don't own any of the above) say that's perfectly fine. If QQQE/QQEW can stick the breakout over its previous ATH, there's going to be a lot of weirdly upset people, and breadth is going to expand.
QQQE hitting a new low. QQQ nowhere close. NVDA 
QQQE -.8% QQQ .35% Truly NVDA’s world out here
Shouldn't you be comparing an equal weight QQQ to QQQ? They are two different indexes in your example, with different weights. It's like apple to oranges. QQQE right now is -0.67% compared to QQQ at -1.54%
There's an escape to safety right now, look at equal weight indexes vs standard. They're inverted, with NVDA +2% AND QQQ down, QQQE down even more. Real bull market will resume when this reverts, I'm thinking after we see the 2yr and 10yr rates.
I've been looking at standard indexes vs equal weight this weekend, big divergence on Friday. For example, EQ SPY was down .60 when SPY was only down .2. QQQE was down .5 when QQQ was up .2. Things are happening.
There is very little difference. The reason there is 2 is b/c of the money. QQQ was originally a joint project between Nasdaq and Bank of NY and issued through Powershares capital management another broker since Nasdaq didn't want to be seen as trying to compete against companies listing on the Nasdaq. Invesco later bought powershares. The interesting set up says that the fund QQQ will spend almost its entire expense ratio on advertising and whatever is left ends up going back to nasdaq and bank of ny since Invesco was bound by the original terms when it bought Powershares they actually receive very little if anything from having QQQ. Thats why they launched the Q family, QQQM, QQQE and so on. The expense ratio is lower because they actually keep the money. If it was the same there would be little to no incentive to buy QQQM over QQQ. They know alot of long term holders won't move b/c of taxes and liquidity b/c newer or smaller investors they can scoop up those with QQQM
FOMO, but I’ll teach you how to not gamble. 25% in the $QQQE but better to buy small and medium cap growth companies. I suggest $ISRG and REITs like $ADC, $TRNO and $PLD while cheap. TRNO and PLD are industrial REITs so basically tied to e-commerce. ADC and O are triple net REITs that pay monthly 5%+ currently and are established REITs. $O has survived 25 years increasing dividends annually. $ADC is smaller but faster growing dividend wise meaning faster compounding growth. Buy ETFs because besides PLTR none are guaranteed to be up by end of 2025 bc of S&P 500 inclusion. Lock in treasuries/bonds now bc we have reached peak inflation or maybe a quarter point more at most. Look in the 1-5 year range that is a combination of treasuries and high grade corporate bonds. They have an ETF for this. This will provide safety at 6%+ yield and as the yields drop the ETF will increase in price. That should be 25% of your portfolio. YOLO move: Buy one Jan 2026 $QQQ call ATM and sell a June 2024 OTM call at least 15% OTM and then keep rolling it monthly until August.
Agree SPY mag 7 are overvalued, now TSLA was already the first domino. Anyway, by end of March is usually the best month to buy, then again early October, so he might be right, -5 to -10% SPY in the next few weeks would be no surprise. The earnings season in many cases wasn't too kind so far (think HUM or APD), still RSP or QQQE don't look like a crash is imminent. So the rest of that doomsday scenario seems unrealistic.
$QQQE and $RSP still is catching up to the equal weight’s ATH, once we hit there….let’s see 😂
> Can we conclude: Apple/MSFT/NVD[A] > VGT > QQQM We can conclude that is how it has been the past decade but no one knows the future. More clear comparison: QQQE versus QTEC. QQQE is an equal weighted NASDAQ100. QTEC is an equal weighted fund of the 43 tech companies in QQQ. Past ten years... QTEC +420%; QQQ +406%; QQQE +246%.
Literally just big tech fighting. RSP and QQQE both very negative
$RSP was a bit odd to use, so we'll use something a little better. Coca-Cola ( $KO ) is a part of $XLP (SPDR's Consumer Staples Select Sector) and has followed the sector almost perfectly. In the last year, $XLP is up 0.68% and $KO is down 2.07% which to me is pretty close if you consider dividends and such. As OP ( u/Tough-Error520 ) originally stated, Why is it falling so hard? Well, (And this is where u/SnS2500 is correct) Today especially marked a larger sell off of the total market opposed to a handful of stocks (Magnificent 7, for example). This can be confirmed even further by looking at the performance of $VOLD today, which confirms a full day selloff. Today, $SPY was down 0.04% and $RSP, the equal weight S&P 500 ETF, was down 1.13%. To go even further into this, $QQQ was up 0.83%, wile the the equal weight version , $QQQE, was down 0.16%. The Magnificent 7 are making the market look like it's fine, when most of the market is, in fact, selling off. I hope this helps!
QQQE: 0.01% QQQ: 0.67% The blow up is going to be all time
QQQ - .60% QQQE - .15% Healthy market continues
QQQE and RSP are equal weighted Nasdaq and S&P ETF's respectively. Might be an idea.
Wow, the 5 year comparison shows just how much the old Nasdaq index has beaten the equal weighted index. +107.84% for the QQQ versus +67.34% for QQQE. I can't say I'm too surprised though, seeing as 1) the top Nasdaq stocks have consistently been able to grow their earnings (despite their already massive size) faster than most companies in the S&P500. And 2) A lot of the lower weight picks in the Nasdaq just seem very bad to me, such as Rivian which is down 80% since it IPOed, and it was in the Nasdaq for much of that fall.
The ones that can have like hedge funds. The index ETFs and whatnot can't do it until the index changes. Or later, whenever their re-balancing is required. The QQQE was only meant as a rough comparison. If you look at IWM (Russell) it kind of did the same thing so there are other factors involved. They'll get it all sorted out in the end;)
QQQE is equal-weighted Nasdaq 100. On Friday night and Monday morning QQQE price jumped up while QQQ fell. Before then and after then they have moved together: both move up together or both move down together. Does that mean that QQQ has adapted its price to the adjustment already?
Compare QQQ to QQQE starting open 10 July. People are already front running the adjustment.
There has been a large amount of liquidity injected into the financial system in the last few months, bank bail outs, draw down the Treasury General Account, falling USD, etc. This drives up asset prices. But this wasn't enough money to drive the entire market full tilt. It went to a narrow group of stocks. Look up IWM, RSP, QQQE for the broader market. It cumulates in a blow off top, short squeeze rally and all that. It may or may not be over.
QQQE down 2.41% over the last 5 days 🤫🤫🤫
QQQE and QQQ today tells you everything
Yup, there exists equal weight indices too which as it implies gives equal weight to all companies. Look up QQQE vs QQQ for instance.
Hey, I am the Lost Ancient King of The Bear Peoples but I still can see an argument that the Nasdaq is actually a better bet than some other things such as the SP500, ARKK, crybpto, etc. The Nasdaq has demonstrated far better earnings growth over the last few decades than the SP500 but is on a roughly similar PER to the SP500. Having said that, the QQQ ETF is dominated by just 5 or so companies. The equal weight QQEW or QQQE would be the best choice to obtain that superior earnings growth without the risk of monstrous portfolio damage from ~~Tesla~~ any single company.
RSP has well outperformed VOO since Covid and I don’t see that changing with the future prospects of the mega caps being able mirror their once in a lifetime last decade of outperformance. I also love QQQE over QQQ haha but have large positions in AMZN and GOOG, not the biggest fan of AAPL and TSLA personally
Equal weighted index ETS are RSP for SPX and QQQE for QQQ.
Basically the same basket of stocks as the index, but divided equally. Like the QQQ is just 100 companies, but AAPL is 13.61% of the holdings. In the equal equity index, each company gets 1%, so the QQQE only has 1% of AAPL.
I'm a big RSP and QQQE (or QQEW) kind of guy for my index allotment. I hate the mega caps so Equal weight was always interesting to me
You can look at QQQE performance which is equal weighted nasdaq 100. But I don't think there is a etf that is equally weighted for all of the nasdaq
QQQE has a fee of 0.35% compared to 0.2% for the QQQ and it has lagged in performance because of how well the big dogs have done, but OP was asking about a way to reduce their weighting in an ETF.
You could buy the russell 2k or an equal weighted index like Gasleak mentioned the QQQE
From what I've read in the past, and with this recent performance to back it up, equally weighted ETFs have done better in severe downturns. So there is a point to equally weighted, as the OP was looking for an index that wasn't market cap weighted. Doesn't mean it will outperform something weighted to the highflyers in the long run. QQQE -30.09% YTD, QQQ -33.66% YTD. RSP -20.23% YTD, SPY -24.06% YTD https://www.etf.com/etfanalytics/etf-comparison/QQQ-vs-QQQE https://www.etf.com/etfanalytics/etf-comparison/rsp-vs-spy
True, but unless those goals are to severely underperform the market then there really is no point in QQQE.
QQQE is the equal weighted QQQ. It still includes the big dogs but the equal weighting diminishes their impact on the ETF.
>That brought me to VGT which does look more appealing but the absolutely massive portion in AAPL/MSFT gives me pause. Also not a huge fan that it doesn’t include companies like google, meta, Amazon which are tech adjacent enough that I’d like to have them. One consideration would be too look at QQQE which is an equal-weight ETF. One considering would be to go to Yahoo Finance and compare the ETF you're interested in to the QQQ across a broad stretch of time to see which one outperforms.
We've met before on this topic, and your post gives me a clear picture of the problem with the behavior. Now I have the problem with \_my\_ behavior. That is to say, despite the fact that it's not sensible, I keep wanting to do it. I thought to myself, "well, if I'm going to pretend there's a reason for doing it, may as well know exactly what I'm doing," or else frustrate myself so much in the process that I have to surrender. That is what I was trying to do, and ask about - I wanted to know if there's anything more complicated or unexpected. You seem to keep abreast of comments on this topic, and so maybe you don't mind reading a dumb story that lead to that drawing as an attempt to ask, "do they just add up like you'd expect them to." I'm not a fan of dynamic range as its used in most tv and cheap movies. Really artistic movies can be trusted sometimes, but I dunno - if I have my way I like to use a compressor. What this means, quick and as non patronizing as I can, is that the difference between "loud" and "soft" can be changed. You can make softer things louder and louder things not any louder than a certain degree. Now, this can be done with a single plugin. You can tune frequencies with an EQ. You only really need one. I found, however, I could not be happy unless I had at least three compressors, and several eqs at several different points along the sequence of processing. This is not because my tastes are more refined or I'm better at working with audio equipment than anyone. If anything, I think it's probably just a psychological problem - a desire for the illusion of control, a thing to fret about, who knows. What I do know, is that at times when I've had the software set up to do this, I can listen to the sound of a show, think carefully, make a few adjustments, and it does just what I want when it's quiet, when it's normal, and when it's loud. It stops getting louder with a curve I define. Even if I could never tell from a blind test which was my way and which was a single plugin that happened to be working okay, it nevertheless allowed me to feel involved and make changes I wanted to see. I'll have to pay attention to when it's been 4 months, as I've said "I've only been investing for 3 months" so many times it's going to get burned in as a habit. Point is, I don't have a lot of money in anything because I haven't been saving for that long. If I "take a loss" sell everything and start a new portfolio I have lost, at most, $20. I know this because I recently had to pull my first portfolio out by the roots - it was just too wild and ungainly. We're on version 2.0... and I'm doing exactly the same thing. I started with something smaller and it's snowballing. There are a lot of reasons for this that get into other long stories and aspects of personality. The simple way I think of it is that I'm learning to extract my emotions - to get my heart out of the game and replace it with my head. In the meantime, though, while I'm still investing emotionally and while I've got time to dick around and make mistakes, I want to have the knowledge and tools to handle endless stock accumulation without creating situations I don't know how to control. If huge market cap stocks are dicking with my portfolio's volatility too much I want to have confidence that I can increase holdings in specific ETFs that aren't QQQ to prioritize other influences. ​ If you're still here at this point I applaud you, here's where it comes full circle. The drawing I posted is supposed to be the addition of simple curves, where one axis is the market cap size and the other axis is the relative influence stocks at that market cap have on the overall "signal" of a portfolio's price over time. So VTI would have high influence from high market cap descending to low influence from low market cap. QQQE is equally destributed among the top 100 market cap companies (is that right? sorry, I'm kind of lazy with the details sometimes), so its inclusion with VTI boosts the influence of the top of the market cap range but ALSO flattens the influence across that range of market caps. Now, I don't know how all these random ass signals influence each other or combine, but that's what I'm interested in feeling an illusion of control regarding. Now think of an equalizer, where you have on one axis the frequency, and on the other the boost of that frequency band. Boost in this instance would be the relative rate of investment between different ETFs. Frequency would be the market cap. This is how I started to conceive of portfolio balancing in the same way I think about audio processing. Cost: people call my portfolio stupid and naive Benefit: I get the illusion of control and pretend the influence of market cap segments or sectors can be smoothly modulated by relative investment rate, and somehow some insights or learning happens as a side effect.
Okay, thanks! But as I recall it used to be over 24% for the top 7 and now it is looking like 21.5% ish. So I thought it might impact the magnitude of the moves at the high end possibly hiding the actual move after rebalancing. It might be more range bound with that type of change. That might not seem a lot but it can change how the movements happen and there could be a misread on a news item on the top 10 that causes a move outside the norm on the SPY that could allow an in or out in options that might uncover a better trade, I saw someone commented on the difference between the QQQ and QQQE and QQEW. If I had understood that I might have seen a better opportunity there.
I like this moment for CQQQ and QQQE as just good low moments for the next five years to look for another boom. The first because I expect China to be more willing to sacrifice the public for commercial aims during the recession and because I recently found out about equal weight etfs and I like the idea of not having a broad etf that is so too heavy
I wonder though sometimes, with all the weighting on the top SPY compenents. If somebody tweets in the middle of a trend and the weighting is such, won't that throw off the chart? I really think your charts are useful but sometimes a candle could be an announcement these days. I certainly don't pretend to know anything. I tried this with the QQQ once and got burned. I wouldn't have done so badly if I had paid attention to the QQQE or QQEW also. They seemed to indicate a different trend. Question: is there an adjustment coming on SPY?
QQEW or QQQE for an equal weight index if it helps.
It’s the big dogs moving it. QQQE pretty flat.
Im sticking to my strategy. DCA a bit every week. Went heavier towards leveraged etfs (timed the $40 bottom on TQQQ perfectly, though at the time I felt stupid for not removing that buy limit), but now I’d favor QQQE or SPY, and will start shifting out of leveraged etfs as it continues up. If your time frame is 10+ years, though, you should *never* go all cash. At the very least, deverage into VOO or something. My uncle called the market top back in november (kicking myself for not listening, heh) and even though he is retired, he was still only like 50% cash.
Invest in a index mutual fund that pays dividends. QQQE is one of my best ever investments
QQQE has some shit liquidity, but man sometimes you can get some funky fine prices off them options with such a big spread.
Think you'd have to also remove the semiconductors, looking at QQQE/QQEW. But playing the "hey, let's remove certain stocks game" is dumb anyway. If this is what some think it is, the generals all need to get shot for this to be over with anyway and based off what's been seen for over a year now, the stuff that has been getting shot since February of last year will continue to be shot for a while. May need Apple at $140 before this is over.
QQQE? If it were actively managed, it's going to be more overweight on FAANG no matter what imo
I believe there's an equal weight QQQ: QQQE
Post removed for vague title. Your topic is: Critique requested on QQQ and QQQE indexes for down moves.
I'd caution against that underlying, as there is basically no volume: [https://www.barchart.com/etfs-funds/quotes/QQQE/options?moneyness=10&orderDir=desc&orderBy=strikePrice](https://www.barchart.com/etfs-funds/quotes/QQQE/options?moneyness=10&orderDir=desc&orderBy=strikePrice) ​ If your risk tolerance is high, there's decent volume on the TQQQ (3x leveraged QQQ ETF): [https://www.barchart.com/etfs-funds/quotes/TQQQ/options?moneyness=10&orderDir=desc&orderBy=strikePrice](https://www.barchart.com/etfs-funds/quotes/TQQQ/options?moneyness=10&orderDir=desc&orderBy=strikePrice)
I'm not sure what you're looking at but they don't move anywhere near the same last 6 months: QQQ -3.7%, QQQE: -10.7% last 12 months QQQ: +6.5%, QQQE -3.6%
Just look at the chart, they move exactly the same, and looking at the QQQ options chain it has more open interest and volume on its contracts so you will get a more accurate value for them, and easier fills for when you want to buy and sell. I've never even heard of QQQE before I saw this post. TDLR. Stick with QQQ
You can also go with QQQE, which is equal-weighted so the big dogs don't have an outsized impact on the performance. These stocks will be a big drag on the QQQM if they're not able to rebound and regain their market leadership.
Another chart I find interesting. QQQ (blue) vs QQQE (orange) which is the equal weight version. They track pretty closely until Nov 2021. At that point the top holdings in QQQ were keeping the index afloat, and I think that's now starting to crumble. https://imgur.com/6GLFemd
Based on your track record, an index fund might be best next time. $SPY $QQQE
Just picked up some DIS and started a position in QQQE a couple of weeks ago. A few other things on my shopping/adding list but haven't pulled triggers yet.
Biggest losses today were Plug and DraftKings. Hood, Amazon, Newt, and QQQE down decent amounts too. Only ups today were Nextera and OXLC.
There is, ya. QQQE, but it's very low volume. It has taken about half the hit of QQQ today, for reference.
If your looking for etfs only, some that I like personally: QQQ or SPY for S&P etf QQQE which is a Nasdaq 100 equal weight etf. TAN or ICLN are popular for green etfs.
I bought QQQE do they move together?
**I'm** a new investor, and I'd like some advice. But before that, I'd like to give some insight. I'm currently a highschooler who recently started investing last week on Monday. However, I have been talking to a friend who has been trading for about 6 months. Because of that, I know the basics and that's about it. Fast-forward a bit, my father gave me one of his unused retirement accounts with about $1468 in it. The deal was that if I could invest smart enough so that I brought the portfolio value up to $1500/$1550, then I could keep the money and open a custodial account. **My** current portfolio has 2 ETFs and 3 stocks. It is listed as follows: * 5 Shares in SCHX * 5 Shares in QQQE * 15 Shares in OGI * 2 Shares in F * 5 Shares in AMD **So** far, AMD, SCHX, and QQQE have been the only ones that have increased a considerable amount. I thought about it, and I thought about making an all ETF portfolio once I reach $1500/$1550. My first question would be how would I effectively reach $1500/$1550. Any advice on my current portfolio to reach my goal quicker? Once OGI and F hit green numbers, I'll sell immediately. They've lost me some money, but not a large amount. **I** will have around $5200 to make a portfolio out of. My second question would be if I should make an all ETF portfolio, or should I put some individual stocks in there and remove some ETFs. My current plan is as follows: (Cost per share is estimated) * 3 Shares in VBK at 302 per share * 5 Shares in SCHX at 96 per share * 3 Shares in QQQ at 337 per share * 12 Shares in FNY at 75 per share * 2 Shares in ROBO at 72 per share * 2 Shares in PRN at 108 per share * 3 Shares in CQQQ at 107 per share * 2 Shares in KCE at 82 per share * 2 Shares in IBUY at 139 per share * 5 Shares in FIVG at 37 per share * 3 Shares in ARKK at 157 per share **I** chose most of these based solely on their past performance, but I realized, after reading around, that that isn't a good idea. If you guys could. Please give me advice on what to remove/add, change the weighting, replace, or what individual stocks, if any, should be added.
