I Am Using QID To Hedge Possible Big Tech Rout Into October

Big Tech's horrible breadth participation and falling number of new highs in August may signal a corrective phase for price, going into the seasonally weak early autumn period of trading. Rising recession odds and a fading AI mania make ProShares UltraShort QQQ an attractive hedge for tech-heavy portfolios. QID offers 2x leveraged downside protection without triggering capital gains on tech winners but comes with time-decay expense and high fees when holding for longer periods.

QID: If You Want To Speculate On 2024 Recession, Big Tech Crash

If a recession occurs in 2024, QID could flip the script and become one of the top-performing ETFs due to the overvaluation of Big Tech stocks.
