ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) remains a Buy, as current tech weakness appears to be a correction within a bull market, not a structural bear market. I favor a dynamic allocation between QQQ and TQQQ, with regular rebalancing and leverage reduction during deteriorating economic conditions to control drawdowns. Ten-year historical testing shows dynamic allocation achieved a 29.96% CAGR with a 25.72% maximum drawdown, substantially lower than static or fully leveraged alternatives.
TQQQ targets a 3x daily return, nothing more, yet its decade-long results tell a stranger story than that modest promise suggests. Understanding why requires a closer look at what daily rebalancing actually does to your money over time.
TQQQ's 0.82% expense ratio tells only a fraction of what the fund actually costs to own. The charge that matters most never appears on the fact sheet, and at today's rates it dwarfs everything ProShares puts in writing.
When the Nasdaq craters, the gap between 2x and 3x leverage stops being an academic footnote and starts costing real money. What investors in TQQQ discover the hard way, QLD holders already knew.
TQQQ promises three times the daily move of the Nasdaq-100, but three separate costs work against that promise every single session, and most holders never see any of them on a fact sheet.

Technical indicators on the fund are mixed, indicating selling pressure in the very short term but potential bullishness over “medium-short” timeframes. The fund's underlying holdings are under immense cash flow pressure due to AI CapEx. Several of the top ones went FCF-negative last quarter.
