Recently, I’ve started taking a serious look at the Nasdaq-100 index ETF (QQQ). The reason is simple: there are so many tech stocks—Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon—and I want to buy them all, but I only have one wallet.
Rather than agonizing every day over who the next star will be, I’d rather diversify through an ETF.
I’m bullish on Nasdaq ETFs because they cover many of the large tech companies in the U.S. Leading companies in areas such as AI, cloud computing, software services, and consumer technology are represented. As long as U.S. tech leaders as a whole remain competitive, the index could benefit.
Also, with an ETF, there’s no need to study individual companies’ earnings reports every day or worry that one company might suddenly run into business problems. For people without much time to watch the market, it’s relatively easy to manage.
But it’s no guaranteed-safe bet. The Nasdaq-100 has a high weighting in tech, and when market expectations for AI and tech stocks get too high, the index could also see a sharp correction. Add in changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and valuations, and volatility is definitely significant.
My approach is to build a position gradually over the long term, rather than putting all my money in at once or getting so excited about a single day’s gains that I can’t sleep.
Investing doesn’t always mean chasing limit-up stocks every day; sticking with the right strategy over the long term is more important.
