The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1, better known by its ticker QQQ, is one of the most storied funds in the investing universe. It's also wildly profitable'just not for its owner, Invesco Ltd.

The success of the 'Qs,' as fans like to call the fund, is staggering. The ETF has almost $200 billion in assets under management, the fifth-largest in the $7 trillion ETF universe, and it spins off close to $400 million in annual revenue from fees alone, also among the most for ETFs. The bulk of its relatively hefty annual expense ratio of 0.2% is divvied between the fund's trustee, the Bank of New York Mellon, and the provider of the underlying index, Nasdaq. Anything left over must be spent on marketing the product, in accordance with the fund's prospectus. That leaves virtually nothing for its sponsor, Invesco.

Yet the company may have finally found a way to profit from its flagship fund's popularity with a series of Q-themed offshoots.
