BUY QQQ: Nasdaq Pressured for All the Wrong Reasons

time to relax
Fear has spread across the market. Major business media has raised the specter of a Fed rate hike that could stir trouble for emerging markets and high-yield debt. While it’s true that higher interest rates pressure borrowers on the margins, they shouldn’t immediately bankrupt them all. That is unless panic is pushed to the populace and investors immediately demand even greater yield for the debt that helps to sustain those fringe borrowers. Nevertheless, I see an opportunity here as the PowerShares QQQ (Nasdaq: QQQ) is being pressured for all the wrong reasons. The Nasdaq-100 has already been discounted by this issue and concern about lower energy prices, despite a lack of direct exposure to either. And there is a chance the Nasdaq-100 could sink further on these concerns this week. I would see any further decline as a very special opportunity, which I expect smart money would pounce upon, driving the QQQ to bounce higher not long thereafter. Indeed, the move higher may already be underway. Thus, I suggest using this wrongfully placed weakness as an opportunity to acquire the top Nasdaq stocks at discount by using the PowerShares QQQ. See the full report on the QQQ here.
