QQQH Is Not Broken, The Market Path Is
Amid hopes that the conflict in Iran will soon de-escalate, stocks rallied in recent days. This provided some much needed relief for the growth-heavy Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX).
NEOS Nasdaq-100 Hedged Equity Income ETF often fails as a defensive tool, capturing significant market losses despite its purported "trap door." Selling puts creates a "wildcard" risk; if the Nasdaq-100 drops below the strike price of those puts, QQQH remains fully exposed. The strategy prioritizes monthly distributions, often sacrificing principal recovery and failing my "Avoid Big Loss" investment rule.
