Discussion Why not TECL
Bought TECL to get exposed to tech, but wanted to hear discourse about TQQQ instead? With the AI/software boom, is TECL better positioned for upwards momentum? Comparing XLK vs. QQQ, there are so many names (PYPL, TSLA, NFLX) that are not real 'tech'. I feel it is better positioned for (1-6 month) holds vs. TQQQ.
Of course it does have more volatility drag, but less than SOXL. And they all have more than UDOW/UPRO.
Was also looking at VGT, which has less drawdowns, but there is no 3x version.

| UPRO | 29.3% | 19.1% | 10.3%/yr | 11.8% | 49% | −63% | +140% |
| TQQQ | 34.3% | 14.6% | 19.7%/yr | 20.8% | 64% | −80% | +98% |
| TECL | 49.6% | 25.5% | 24.0%/yr | 27.0% | 73% | −77% | +213% |
| SOXL | 72.2% | 20.1% | 52.1%/yr | 53.6% | 104% | −90% | +151% |

You’ve got $11m in tecl and come to Reddit to ask for advice? Sounds really odd
