ETF Battles: QQQ vs ARKK - Which ETF is Better Positioned for Future Growth?

[@bobshaw8112]

This reminds me of the 1990s conversation: Microsoft or apple... they both won... I hold both ARKK and QQQ.

[@MrTBoner911]

Same here. Bought and buying both.

[@kriscrossx122]

Same I hold less QQQ though since I hold VOO as well

[@coachbigb925]

Facts I have both and they’re the foundation of my portfolio. Best thing I ever done.

[@misterbanshee7992]

I was going to get fxaix qqq arkk and voo is it bad to have all 4 of those ? I got 30k and can put 2k month into them

[@kriscrossx122]

@@misterbanshee7992 Would put the lions share into voo because its just a general s&p 500 index and will go up slow but consistent with market growth and is safer. But you won't match the gains of arkk or qqq but those will be much more of a roller coaster (much less predictable). fxaix seems redundant while holding voo and qqq to me but there is nothing wrong with that approach either its more a question of how much exposure do you want to amazon, apple, Microsoft ect. If you want to diversify your profile more vti and voo will give you the entire American stock exchange with just those two holdings alone.

[@glenndespres5317]

Interesting format here. Suggestion: Lose the 30 second buzzer which is only annoying if the average answer goes on for 2:30.

[@etfguide]

Finally! Someone that's a better time keeper than Ron! Best, Ron

[@sheaevans1534]

David seems to be the poster boy for TQQQ because he compares every ETF to its risky exposure

[@mnsoyan]

6:50 QQQ vs ARKK vs SPX500 performance over the years 7:35 TQQQ (triple leverage) 11:44 12:15-> 2x ARKK over 6 years! 8:35 ARKK top holdings 13:28 ARKK good now but QQQ better for 20 years hold because broader exposure

[@etfguide]

We could use a few extra video editors. Is that what you do? Love the minute markers mnsoyan but uncertain about the point you're trying to make.

[@kevinsquires5739]

Thanks so much for highlighting these two ETFs! I recommended them a couple weeks ago and you all did it! Loved hearing the discussion. I have wrestled with these two for a few weeks and it’s actually nice to see your experts wrestle with them as well. In the end, it seems like they are both good options and something worth finding a buy point on a red day or market pull back. Thanks again!

[@WanderingExistence]

Why not both? Why not Zoidberg?

[@DEK981967]

Its a proven fact the more you try to out perform an index the worse you screw it up! Its easy to look good in a bull market , (ARKK) , but when it goes south the index is where to be! Its QQQ the solid winner for me!

[@dlwatib]

I love TQQQ, it's been very good to me so far. It's been very profitable to hold long term and buy the dips. 3x sector funds like SOXL and TECL may be worthwhile too, but I like that QQQ/TQQQ is more diversified. Dividend investors should consider QYLD, which generates income with covered calls on QQQ stocks. You don't get near as much capital appreciation or total performance as QQQ or TQQQ, but you do get much higher monthly dividends than any other stock or ETF that I'm aware of. The only other income ETF that even comes close is PFFA, which did not do well in the C-19 crash like I would have expected. The other thing to note about PFFA is the outrageous management fees. I also hold TSLA as an individual stock, so I don't want to add most ARK funds to my portfolio, but ARKG doesn't hold TSLA and I don't have any concentration of healthcare stocks in my portfolio, so I bought into ARKG at the first of the year. So far, so good.

[@evanwheeler7687]

How'd TQQQ work out for you this year?

[@Kyle-MoneyProphet]

Investing into QQQ is investing into technology - It always wins, it always innovates. Radical innovation is ARK Invest. While more volatile, will produce more gains if companies are chosen properly, which DOES seem to be the case! I am 25% into the Q's, 20% into S&P (5% each going into leveraged 3X Bulls), 10% into ARKK, 10% into ARKW, 5% AAPL, 10% Tesla, 5% TAN, 5% QCLN and I will have 5-10 stocks at any time only getting 1% - 2% of portfolio, including DOCU NIO SBE QCOM DKNG ENPH NVDA and others. Love this channel.

[@etfguide]

Thank you Kyle for weighing in and dropping by. We love you back!

[@chessdad182]

How has the last two years been?

[@kyle7574]

Woah i love both of these

[@chessdad182]

LOL. It is a lot of fun reviewing these funds two years later. ARKK produce a NEGATIVE 50 percent CAGR! QQQ produced a NEGATIVE 7 percent CAGR! SPY had a positive 3 percent CAGR. But Cathie hasn't given up, so stayed tune.

[@franticzenster8140]

Whether a company chooses to go public on the Nasdaq or NYSE is quite arbitrary. I'm wary of investing in the QQQ for its "strategy." At least ARKK has a strategy.

[@timo4040]

bought into the Q's around the 60's and dollar costed to160's. I'm still in at at 310's. Unbelievable returns

[@WanderingExistence]

NASDAQ is heavily concentrated with tech companies, probably won't find oil or gas company there... My point is is that it isn't arbitrary if you choose NASDAQ you're choosing big tech as being a larger percentage of your portfolio and pushing out industrials and finance. I hold QQQM for big tech exposure and ARK funds for small/mid tech.

[@jlv10]

Love these videos. Thank you for doing these. Can you please consider more thematic comparisons like ARKF vs FINX? GENY vs MILN? MJ vs POTX?

[@t2tl87]

Is there an entry price where QQQ isn't worth it? I want to buy some and hold but the price is so high

[@VuNguyen-ju4vg]

I suggest buying a few shares on the dip, then adding more as you go

[@t2tl87]

I agree.

[@mikem1464]

Consider ARKF, I'm up 15% in two weeks, it's roughly $41 a share currently

[@TheReminisce777]

Also it said t qqq out performerd arkk in 6 year how could this be when arkk went public 5 years ago

[@Stoneface_]

@@TheReminisce777 even if you compare it for 5 years performance, tqqq still outperforms ark by 411%. Ark for the last 5 years has grown by 552.39% while tqqq, has grown by 963.73%. But Ark though has outperforms qqq

[@hermoinegranger68]

Thank you for this!! great content!! considering ARKK as a small part of my portfolio.

Glad we could help RV.

[@zaq55]

Makes no sense to compare leveraged funds to non-leveraged.

[@ikust007]

Would you be kind enough to elaborate ? Cheers and thank you .

[@zaq55]

@@ikust007 The subject is QQQ vs. ARKK. Neither is leveraged, so why compare either to a 3x fund? Since both are tech heavy, then yes, compare to a chip fund, for example XSD, or another tech fund (VGT), but not leveraged ones. That’s apples to oranges; Buicks to Lamborghinis. Dave Kreinces points out TQQQ has outperformed them all, so maybe he’s getting in some self-promotion for a leveraged fund he’s recommended that’s done very well. But if an index (NASDAQ 100) rose during a certain period, you’d expect the leveraged version of that same index to have risen even more. If you want to discuss whether a 3x fund really gives you three times the underlying index over the long-term, that’s perfectly fine, but it’s not the subject at hand.

[@ikust007]

@@zaq55 i am extremely impressed - and I must say , clouded! - by your knowledge. I do not have all of your connaissance: I was going to simply invest in ARKK, ARKG & UFO. But the first ones have climbed substantially the last months ...

[@savannahtraderful]

FNGU is another good 3X leveraged ETF. I've traded both FNGU and TQQQ. Agree with Dave's comment. They're not just for day trading strategy.

[@etfguide]

@@savannahtraderful FNGU is actually an ETN, it's not an ETF. It's a minor detail that doesn't go noticed during good times, but ETN's have credit risk from the institutions backing them. And if the institution defaults on their debt or gets close to that point, it would adversely impact an ETN whereas an ETF none of this comes into play. In 2008, Lehman Brothers Opta ETNs blew up and nobody in the ETN industry stepped up to help out. It was shocking too, because you'd think the industry would've had some smarts to instill investor confidence in the ETN marketplace. All of this is just a footnote in history that nobody, but people like us keep track of. Just FYI BM. Take care, Ron

[@savannahtraderful]

@@etfguide Thanks for the information. I didn't know about the difference of the ETN, ETF. I've seen the FNGU vs TQQQ vidio posted and watch it. I'm interested in both. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYnTpZ6snpWra7c

QQQJ may be closer performing to ARKK than QQQ.

[@phillipmartinez2436]

It was designed to do the same thing as ARKK with a lower cost. I would keep quiet on it until you buy into it enough. Look into QQQM too its a cheaper version of QQQ. A combo of QQQM, QQQJ and maybe something else like a smallcap etf may be a decent but risky combo. Or QQQM and ARKK and a small cap etf too. But ARKK is too expensive to hold for longer than a few years.
