ProShares UltraPro QQQ

TQQQ provides 3x leveraged exposure to a modified market-cap-weighted index tracking 100 of the largest non-financial firms listed on NASDAQ.

The ProShares UltraPro QQQ TQQQ, which provides triple-leveraged exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Index, fell some 10.81% to $82.09 Wednesday after the Federal Reserve's December meeting.

Why Nasdaq-100 Leveraged ETF TQQQ Is Falling

Trader Vibha Jha has many reasons to exit a position in the 3x leveraged TQQQ ETF, but only two reasons to enter. The post This ETF Isn't For Everyone.

This ETF Isn't For Everyone. Here's How It Could Be A High-Reward Portfolio Placeholder.

Tech stocks have underperformed recently due to a shift in investor sentiment, prompting a rotation into other asset classes. Leveraged ETFs like TQQQ offer high potential but come with significant risks, including volatility and tracking error. Despite TQQQ's recent 30% gain, I am downgrading it to hold as other asset classes are expected to outperform tech stocks.

TQQQ: Wall Street Moves Out Of Tech Stocks

The ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) ETF has performed well over the years, beating the Nasdaq 100 index by far. Data shows that the fund's total return in the past five years stood at 327% compared to the Nasdaq 100's 157%.

My friend and industry veteran Dave Nadig used to call the exercise of interpreting ETF asset flows as “reading the tea leaves.” I have always loved that image because it suggests asset flows can be telling, but they are also open to interpretation.

Where ETF Investors Put Money to Work on Election Week

TQQQ leverages daily moves in QQQ by 3x, and is best held when QQQ trends strongly higher with low volatility. Despite QQQ's new all-time high post-election, it lagged IWM and DJI, indicating potential continued underperformance. Many leading QQQ stocks remain below their highs, suggesting a lack of strong trend, making TQQQ less ideal now.

TQQQ: It's Not Right

ProShares UltraPro QQQ offers a leveraged bet on Mag 7 stocks, benefiting from AI advancements, with a focus on capital appreciation. The ETF has delivered impressive annual returns of 42.60% since its inception in 2010, heavily over-weighting IT and AI-focused companies. TQQQ's top 10 holdings, including Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft, represent 50.8% of the fund, making it highly concentrated and risky.

TQQQ is a 3x leveraged ETF that tracks the Nasdaq-100. When timed right, it gives investors the opportunity to generate excellent returns over a very short time period. Despite the potentially high risk, I therefore rate TQQQ a buy if investors manage risk accordingly.

TQQQ offers triple the daily returns of the Nasdaq 100, suitable for short-term trading but risky for long-term holding due to volatility decay. Leveraged ETFs like TQQQ face high volatility and daily rebalancing effects, making them inappropriate for buy-and-hold investors. TQQQ's 0.88% expense ratio is fair for its speculative nature but adds to the long-term underperformance risk.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are typically considered to be suitable investments for retail investors who have a hands-off approach. The built-in portfolio diversity inherent to many of these funds and the ability to hand over management of a fund's basket of securities to a team of professional managers appeal to beginning investors and those not eager to involve themselves in the business of regular trading.

The ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF Turned $10,000 Into $1.6 Million. Could This Other ETF Be Next?

ProShares UltraPro QQQ may have peaked in July. Any acceleration in technology sector selling during the autumn will push this 3x leveraged security into oversized percentage losses. The summer's huge bearish shift in trading momentum is worrisome, with a clear vacuum of buyers in the Big Tech names appearing during late July and early August. Ease-of-Movement indicator swings deep into red territory are screaming investors sell technology-related ETFs on the rebound.

Central bank interest rate policy divergence has become a reality, there have been increased levels of geopolitical risk due to rising tensions in the Middle East and political change has swept across Europe. With the financial landscape changing at pace, many of the recent themes impacting markets have also been seen in ETF securities lending activity. As uncertainty grows across both the political and financial spectrums, interest in ETFs within the securities lending market is expected to grow further.

Investing in leveraged versions of the S&P 500 is nearly guaranteed to beat the market given a sufficiently long time span. However, real-life investors are risk-averse and do not have infinite time horizons. Diversified CEF or ETF portfolios offer stable income and improved diversification for better investment outcomes, once risk and investor psychology are taken into account.
