QQQ ETF News, 11/12/2025: Tech-Heavy Fund Eyes Record Highs as AI & Quantum Bets Soar
The QQQ ETF—Nasdaq's tech juggernaut—is flirting with all-time highs as institutional money floods into AI infrastructure plays and quantum computing pioneers.
Key drivers:
- Cloud giants' capex surge (because apparently 'efficiency' now means burning $40B/year on GPU clusters)
- Quantum startups in the portfolio now command Silicon Valley's dumbest valuations since 2021 SPACs
Wall Street's latest narrative? 'This time it's different'—just like they said before the dot-com crash, crypto winter, and metaverse faceplant.
One hedge fund PM quipped: 'We're not buying innovation, we're shorting human intelligence.'
