The technology sector has done well in the past decade, with the Nasdaq 100 Index beating its top peers like the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones. This article explores the outcome if one had invested $10,000 in the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ), ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ), and ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (SQQQ) five years ago.

The ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF (SQQQ) is a high-risk, 3x leveraged tool designed to benefit from declines in the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ). SQQQ can be strategically paired with a QQQ long position to hedge downside risk and incrementally strengthen overall portfolio returns. Success with SQQQ hinges on precise entry and exit timing, using technical indicators like MACD and RSI to capture short-term NDX pullbacks.

ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF is rated a Sell due to its unsuitability as a long-term hedge or investment. SQQQ's -3x daily leverage causes rapid value erosion and high volatility, making timing and active management essential for any success. Performance history shows severe long-term losses, with SQQQ down -61.11% over one year and -95.85% over five years.

As investors grapple with inflation, AI-trade concerns and geopolitical risks, these ETFs could offer tactical opportunities.

If you bought ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (NASDAQ:SQQQ) a year ago to hedge a tech selloff, your bet against the Nasdaq-100 has cost you most of your money.
