QLD: Q2 Tech Earnings Are Going To Be So
ProShares Ultra QQQ ETF is revisited with a focus on portfolio fit and recommendation, not just mechanics. QLD has surpassed 20 years, delivering over 10,000% total return since inception, demonstrating powerful compounding. As a daily leveraged ETF, QLD can achieve outsized gains but carries the risk of total capital loss in sharp market downturns.
Sell QLD - Buy QYLD, And Here Is Why
I am downgrading ProShares Ultra QQQ ETF from Buy to Sell due to its underperformance in a sideways, volatile market. QLD's 2x leveraged derivatives strategy fails to deliver returns when equities and indices remain flat, leading to NAV erosion. I recommend rotating into the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF, which offers capital preservation and an 11.6% TTM yield in the current environment.
QLD vs. SPXL: Is Tech-Heavy Growth or S&P 500 Diversification Better for Investors?
QLD has delivered a marginally higher one-year total return than SPXL, but both funds exhibit similar extreme drawdown risk. SPXL holds far more stocks, while QLD concentrates heavily in technology with just 101 positions.
