Kim Bolton Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ-Q TRADE Aug 28, 2024

It's close to overbought. Earnings have supported the rise in megatech stocks lately, but this is due for a small pullback in coming weeks.

For a tech innovation theme. Well diversified, mega-cap or large-cap positions. Listed in the US, but also available in Canada from many different providers in many different flavours and hedged/unhedged.

To protect his downside, he bought 450 puts with a Nov.15 expiration. If the market rolls over, he'll be protected. It's unheard of to recover from the recent volatility so cleanly upward. It's likely there will be some sort of backward move.

He's a stock-picker, so he wouldn't buy an ETF. However, companies in either of these are the place to be for the next 10 years.

Likes that strategy a lot, makes a lot of sense. It would keep the tech exposure, but de-emphasize the weight of the market cap.

In the US, there are some ETFs in the Innovator line. Gives you upside exposure, but contains buffers that protect on the downside for you.

He is seeing growth being the biggest draw down in the market. There are tailwinds for tech so you can look to add if you have a long time frame.

Basically the NASDAQ 100. Acts as a benchmark for a lot of people like himself. Extremely liquid. Trade, rather than invest. Top was around $550, and he thinks it will probably take out those highs before the end of the year. 

Based on the look of the chart, he'd write calls against it with a strike of around $530-540. This way, you collect some premiums. If you don't want to get taken out, just keep rolling the strike price up. 

Write calls at 1-2-week maturities, short. Shares are near all-time highs.
