Better ETF Buy Right Now: QQQ vs. SCHG

The article compares two growth-focused ETFs: Invesco QQQ (QQQ), which tracks the 100 largest non-financial Nasdaq stocks with heavy tech exposure, and Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG), which uses fundamental screening across a broader universe. While QQQ has outperformed significantly year-to-date (+21.1% vs +8.4%), the author recommends SCHG due to its lower expense ratio (0.04% vs 0.18%), better diversification beyond tech, and concerns that QQQ's semiconductor and memory stock outperformance may be unsustainable.
