The Invesco QQQ Trust has performed well, but buying it at extreme highs has resulted in severe, prolonged negative returns.

The NASDAQ-100 index is currently priced at high valuation multiples, indicating that it may be overvalued.

In Part I of my Top Picks For 2024, I explained why we saw such extreme valuation losses in most equity CEFs in 2023 and what that could-mean for 2024.
