GPIQ With QQQH: Building Protection Against A Potential Nasdaq-100 Decline

Rising inflation and geopolitical risks prompt a shift from pure growth to a more defensive Nasdaq-100 strategy. I recommend reducing GPIQ exposure by 50% and reallocating to QQQH, creating a balanced portfolio with structural downside protection. GPIQ offers higher beta and yield in bull markets, while QQQH's collar strategy cushions losses during moderate drawdowns.
