The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So...was QQQE an excellent call? I think it was, in the narrow sense that a "good bet" is not the same as a "winning bet". A good bet might win or lose, but will probably win. A merely winning bet, on the other hand, might have been purely luck. That's how I would characterize QQQ has been in this stretch. I could give you a pretty good estimate of the likely returns of QQQE in the next 5-10 years. I don't think there's anyone on the planet could say the same for QQQ.

No argument that QQQE is more predictable than QQQ, but that doesn't necessarily make it a better investment choice; and clear the past few (5 ish?) years have favored QQQ - not exactly a blip.
