I bought just two during this dip. Went all-in with my entire net worth.

I put all my money 50/50 into just these two. A little over a million. Over the years, I've tried everything: options, futures, individual stocks, meme stocks, crypto, skyrocketing stocks, and so on.

I was lucky enough to make a lot on many trades, but making a few bad buys loses it all in an instant, so this is my final choice because I don't want to deal with stress anymore.

Now, whenever I get money, I'm just going to buy these two. Waking up at dawn and making a huge fuss while dealing with all kinds of stress just to inflate my wealth in a short time... I'm done doing that.

The saying "after all is said and done, it's the index" is so true.
While Big Tech, which used to perform well, stagnated for a year, semiconductors skyrocketed, so the index ultimately went up. And even when semiconductors plummeted over the past few weeks, other defensive stocks protected the index...

In the end, the index is the answer.

In a bull market, QQQ will make me money, and in a sideways market, QQQI will make me money, so half and half... In a bear market, both will drop, which is unavoidable, but as time passes, they will rise again. Since the long-term trend is upward.

In about 10 years, I think QQQ will double, and even if QQQI's principal doesn't go up, the dividends received over 10 years will likely equal the principal. Then, if I dump the 2 million I've accumulated by then entirely into QQQI, it will generate around 24,000 gross per month, so I think I can live comfortably for the rest of my life.

An index fund just gives the greatest peace of mind, it won't go bankrupt, and no matter how much it drops, I don't worry about it.

May you all find peace of mind as well :)

I can't say it won't fail, but... I agree too.. In a bear market, you could just buy even more with what you earned from QQQI.
