Some exchange-traded fund investors doubled down on their bets against the
Nasdaq-100 after the index climbed to a 14-month high. The ProShares UltraPro
Short QQQ ETF (SQQQ) had inflows of $554 million on Friday, bringing its
year-to-date haul to $4.6 billion.
The fund, which seeks to deliver -3x the daily return of the Nasdaq-100, can be
used to outright bet against the tech-heavy index or to hedge long positions.
In either case, the flows into SQQQ suggest there is a cohort of investors who
are getting increasingly nervous about the rapid ascent of the Nasdaq.
The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), the largest ETF tracking the index, is up 32% this
year. The ETF is now down just over 13% from its all-time high set in December
2021 versus more than 35% at its low point in December 2022.
Much has been written about the narrowness of the Nasdaq’s rally. Skeptics say
that just a small group of megacap tech stocks are powering the index’s rally,
including the red-hot Nvidia Corp., Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and Microsoft
Corp.—each of which is up 35% or more this year.
In those skeptics’ eyes, that makes the Nasdaq rally precarious and at risk of a
reversal should the economy turn down or should interest rates head higher
because of sticky inflation.
On the other hand, bulls might point to that fact that even though the megacaps
are leading, most tech stocks are doing quite well this.
The NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted ETF (QQQE), which holds stocks in the Nasdaq in
equal proportion, is up 15% on a year-to-date basis. Sure, it’s less than the
market-cap-weighed QQQ, but it isn’t bad.
QQQE is down 19% from its all-time high—more than the QQQ, but not drastically
so.
That fund, incidentally, has had inflows of $122 million so far this year.
To me, the “narrowness” of the Nasdaq rally isn’t so much a concern. If you want
to make the case that specific tech stocks or tech stocks in general are
overvalued from a fundamental perspective, go ahead and make it.
But to suggest stocks that are more heavily weighted in the Nasdaq are
contributing more to the index’s gains and therefore the index is bound to fall
isn’t a convincing argument.
