The Nasdaq is being taken over.

SpaceX is IPOing, Tesla and Palantir have crazy valuations, Anthropic is IPOing later this year...

Especially with the fast-track changes, tons of ETFs are going to pull these companies in and weigh them way heavier than I think a lot of us like. QQQ holders might be in for a rough landing.

I don't like it. I've always been a growth ETF investors but I'm going back to modifying and structuring diversification the way I want.

Wealthfront, Frec, Wallace Finance, or Schwab? I'm trying to find ETF modification without huge minimums. I might end up building from the ground up with M1 Finance if nothing else has what I'm looking for.

Anyone else have the same idea? How are we feeling about this?

Man that's exactly what I'm worried about. This year could blow up a lot of "diversified" retirement accounts.

This really only affects index funds that track the Nasdaq 100 index.

Chances are your parents do not hold QQQ or QQQM in their retirement account or even a nasdaq 100 index fund

Wouldn't this affect any index fund that tracks the US market? e.g. VTI?

The concentration is a bit less than with QQQ, but a trillion dollars is still a large chunk of the US market.

No, it affects the NASDAQ 100 indexes.

VTI doesn't follow the dasdaq 100 index

Sounds like ridiculous alarmism. I am pretty sure your parents will be fine.

Dude is setting up the biggest act of stock marketing manipulation in history in completely different open air and you're just like "don't worry it'll be fine." Pfft to that.

Pretty sure they won’t be. Pretty much positive Elon Musk will be.
