QQQ Stock Recent News

QQQ is closing in on its July 2024 highs, driven by AI growth themes, despite lagging behind the S&P 500 due to value stock resurgence. Nvidia is a key holding driving bullish sentiments in QQQ. It's unlikely to slow down anytime soon. QQQ affords investors growth prospects beyond the tech sector, with stocks such as Google, Meta, and Tesla among its top holdings.

After several months of chop, the Nasdaq is showing signs that it might be prepared to move towards highs, although the recent move lacks power. Small caps lack leadership, with money flowing into mega caps; I remain focused on bigger names for now. Gold is in a strong uptrend, but I'm holding off on adding more until it consolidates further.
