QQEW: Equal Weight Isn't Equal Returns
QQEW reduces concentration risk but sacrifices long-term growth by underweighting dominant tech mega caps essential for sustained outperformance.

QQEW only outperforms in rare, broad-based market rebounds and offers no meaningful drawdown protection compared to SPY or QQQ.
