QQQ
- Top 5 stocks make up about 43% of the index – AAPL 18.4%, MSFT 9.25%, GOOG 5.3%, ORCL 5%, and INTC 4.7%
My Take: I guess the obvious thing here is that if you think the market rally, specifically in tech has gotten increasingly narrow, all you have to do is add up the % of the above 5 top weighted stocks in the QQQ and you see that these few names at more than 40% of the index will clearly dictate the price action as we are at multi-year highs in most major indices.
Obviously I am fairly bearish, and think that Short QQQ is a great way to play for a pullback in AAPL specifically.
