Inflation Risks Rising But SQQQ Is Not A Hedge
Markets are showing resilience, but subtle shifts suggest inflation risks are rising and could trigger volatility in the second half of the year. Recent labor market strength and new fiscal policies are likely to fuel inflation, with CPI expected to approach 4% by year-end. Despite inflation concerns, I see little reason to short QQQ or use SQQQ now, as the risks and timing requirements are too high.

SQQQ: April 9th Was A Major Red Flag
April 9th, 2024 saw a historic 12.2% Nasdaq rally, signaling potential volatility and further declines in high-flying tech stocks. The ProShares UltraShort QQQ ETF is a leveraged fund designed for short-term tactical trading, not long-term holding. Historical patterns suggest large single-day Nasdaq gains often precede further market declines, akin to the dot-com era.

SQQQ - An ETF I Wouldn't Use For Hedging, And Here's Why
The SQQQ ETF, a 3x leveraged inverse fund for the Nasdaq-100, is highly risky and not ideal for long-term hedging. Leveraged ETFs like SQQQ are designed for short-term trading and can lead to significant losses due to the decay effect. Statistically, during downturns, the largest intraday rebounds occur, thereby increasing the risk of decay.
