SQQQ Is Not A Portfolio Solution To Uncertainty In Iran (NASDAQ:SQQQ)

It now seems like a lifetime has passed since the market's concerns were things like "the AI bubble." Yet the dangers don't seem to have disappeared, they have only changed: today the market trembles at the word "Strait SQQQ Is Not A Portfolio Solution To Uncertainty In Iran Summary - Current NDX forward valuations are near 10- and 30-year averages, removing the overvaluation thesis for aggressive short bets. - Market behavior suggests geopolitical shocks are already partially priced in, reducing the likelihood of sudden, sustained NDX declines. - Leveraged inverse ETFs like SQQQ remain tactical tools, but absent a clear negative catalyst, holding them now is not justified, in my opinion. - I think the appropriate rating for SQQQ is a Sell due to improved Nasdaq-100 valuations and lack of compelling downside catalysts.
