QQQ Stock Recent News

Markets are rebounding from a streak of weakness, and @ProsperTradingAcademy's Scott Bauer says investors will want to watch for key catalysts in the Big 3's technicals. He highlights levels to watch and options trades for Boeing (BA), Meta Platforms (META), and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ).

There have been strong inflows into fixed income, especially ultrashort funds. Precious metal funds have seen surprisingly light inflows.

Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index ETF CAD Units (QQC:CA) offers Canadian investors exposure to U.S. tech equities with CAD-hedging for capital preservation, despite higher expenses. The ETF has outperformed TSX and SP500 in price performance over the past three years, driven by significant tech sector exposure. Current tech sector downturn and high valuations suggest a cautious approach, but a tech recovery may yet be in sight.

SCHG has delivered impressive performance, achieving an 828% total return since its inception in 2009, significantly outpacing the broader market's 578% return. Growth investing isn't about picking winners like Amazon or NVIDIA, it's about leveraging a concentrated strategy to deliver outsized returns. Value investing has historically outpaced growth over the last century. With shifting market conditions in 2025, funds like SCHD or stocks like NVIDIA could blend growth and fundamentals for an edge.

QQQ's higher valuation is justified by its superior return on equity compared to KWEB, reflecting better profitability and efficiency.

All major indexes finished off intra-day highs, but have now swung into the green over the past five trading days.

Despite recent price pullbacks, Invesco QQQ Trust ETF's valuation risk is still extremely high by historical standards. QQQ's valuation risks, when combined with other ongoing macroscopic uncertainties, make it ill-prepared for a hard-landing scenario. And the market underestimates the odds of such a scenario.

Impressive showings last Friday notwithstanding, large- and mega-cap artificial intelligence (AI) equities are struggling in the early stages of 2025. This creates apprehension among investors accustomed to seeing these stocks rise on a seemingly daily basis.

If you want to get your portfolio to $1 million by the time you retire but you don't have a big lump sum of money to invest in today, you can start by investing every month. And if you can maintain that habit over the long term, your gains can be significant, potentially putting you on track to end up with a portfolio worth at least $1 million.

Focusing on dividends or total return are two distinct strategies that offer their own set of pros and cons. Total return may be the best for maximizing the value earned with every dollar increased. Dividend investing prioritizes a consistent source of supplemental income. The best investment strategy is one that aligns with your specific goals, risk tolerance, and lifestyle. Investing doesn't have to be so black or white.
