Invesco QQQ

QQQ tracks a modified-market-cap-weighted index of 100 NASDAQ-listed stocks.

The Invesco QQQ Trust's largest components - Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA - trade at such extreme multiples that it's hard to picture them rising in the near term. Invesco itself estimates that the fund's holdings have a 38.88 average P/E ratio. It's extremely uncommon for indexes to hold multiples that steep for long periods of time.

While the S&P 500 has more than tripled investor capital in the past decade, it comes up well short of this booming ETF. Exposure to powerful tech-driven secular trends is key to this ETF's rise.

US equities experienced a sharp decline, with the Nasdaq 100 falling over 3%, indicating a volatile market environment that complicates trading. Despite being bullish on US equities long-term, I recommend a sell rating on QQQ, anticipating better buying opportunities later this month.

QQQ's strong fundamentals and higher margins justify a "Hold" rating, while SPY's rate sensitivity and growth outlook support a "Buy" rating. Election and upcoming Fed meeting are catalysts; SPY and QQQ trade at high valuations with accelerating growth forecasts. A robust labor market supports consumer spending; SPY is likely to benefit more from rate cuts, while regulatory risks affect SPY more than QQQ.

Interest rates have fallen, benefiting leveraged closed-end funds like Columbia Seligman Premium Technology Growth Fund, which invests in tech stocks and uses an options strategy for downside protection. STK generally tracks the Nasdaq 100 ETF but has underperformed during market corrections and has higher seasonal risks. Despite a solid long-term track record and attractive valuation, STK's mixed relative performance history warrants a hold rating.

JPMorgan, Netflix, and Walmart are the top performers YTD among clients' top 12 holdings, while Microsoft, Amazon, and Nasdaq 100 underperform the S&P 500. Any international fund or ETF that doesn't have a US component (ex-US) is seeing single-digit returns, but the last 30 to 60 days, perhaps due to the weaker dollar, the asset class is starting to stir.

The late July/early August slump endured by major equity benchmarks now feels like a distant memory. However, the good news for investors who didn't immediately buy the dip is that gauges such as the Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) still have some work to do to reclaim their previously notched 52-week highs.

With Stocks Regaining Momentum, These ETFs Should Benefit

Following late July/early August slumps, some technology-heavy indexes are rebounding. For example, the Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) gained 5.47%.
