Its central message is 'More is good, but only ONE is enough.'

- If You'd Put $3,000 Into QQQM 5 Years Ago, Here's What You'd Have Now
The article estimates how a one-time $3,000 investment in the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM) five years ago would have grown if left to compound. QQQM, which tracks the 100 largest non-financial stocks in the Nasdaq-100 index, delivered annualized total returns of about 13.1% over five years, compared with a 12.6% average total return for the S&P 500, although the Nasdaq-100 fell about 33% in 2022. After deducting the fund's 0.15% expense ratio, the assumed annualized return is 12.95%, which would have grown the $3,000 to $5,545, nearly doubling it. The article notes that tech stocks or any ETF are not guaranteed to be the best choice for the future, but the example illustrates the value of a long-term perspective.
