The other difference is that the nifty fifty crash was part of a much bigger bear market that left most stocks dirt cheap. The tech wreck is taking place in a market that is still slightly overpriced so you are buying as cheaply as you could in the 1970s. The only catch I can see is that the QQQ is very volatile. They generally don't make capital gains and dividend distributions. Perhaps in theory they might be able to, but they're run to be as close to an index as possible with no avoidable taxable events.
Nothing is wrong with it.
The optimum to buy value and income stocks was a year ago. Right now, I think we're seeing better buying opportunities in tech for those people who can use a growth strategy. But for many older investors, a high-dividend strategy works great. At that point, you'd never have to sell. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
