For investors engaged with exchange traded funds such as the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ B+) and the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM B), it’s advice worth remembering because much of the recent volatility incurred by those ETFs and their AI-related holdings is attributable to the arrival of “the show me” moment. Translation: analysts and investors want to see more in the way of tangible AI results and far less hype. That’s a credible demand and one that can help astute investors recalibrate AI expectations while reducing the potential of falling victim to hype. Take the case of the much discussed $1 trillion in AI-related spending. That estimate has been discussed in terms of 2025. The $1 trillion in spending could certainly prove accurate, but the end of 2025 timeline is unlikely, confirming that QQQ/QQQM investors need to be patient.
