TQQQ: Not The Right Time, Wait For The QQQ Rally To Resume

ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF offers 3x daily leveraged exposure to the Nasdaq-100, amplifying both gains and risks. TQQQ's structure relies on swaps and daily rebalancing, causing value erosion during volatility or in sideways markets. I rate TQQQ a Hold, favoring entry only when QQQ establishes a firm upward trend after its current sideways movement.

Moving From Stockpicking To QQQM And TQQQ: How I Plan To Beat The Market Again In 2026

After a strong 2025 with a 29% return in my main account, I'm shifting from stock picking to a Nasdaq-100-focused ETFs strategy in 2026. I will keep holding core stocks. QQQM remains my largest holding (~40% portfolio), favored for cost efficiency and broad Nasdaq-100 exposure; I will continue DCA into it. I plan to add selective exposure to 3x leveraged TQQQ on new capital deployments, presenting twelve backtests on QQQ DCA and dip-buying strategies.

TQQQ: Now Is A Bad Time To Own This Fund (Rating Downgrade)

The ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF uses leverage to deliver three times the NASDAQ-100's daily return. The fund's high leverage is a virtue in times when expected returns are high, but today, NASDAQ-100 stocks trade at nosebleed multiples. Data from Invesco indicates that the NASDAQ-100 trades at 43 times earnings. That's among the steepest multiples in the index's history.
