I think the choice between QQQ and QQQE is a market timing bet. IN strong bull markets QQQ will be far ahead, particularly when the bullishness is concentrated in tech companies which it has been for at least 30 years and counting. When there's a bear market or a bubble popping, QQQE will be ahead.

Why would that necessarily be the case? For example, the larger companies have deeper pockets to weather downturns and lots more cash.

Here are the top and bottom holdings in QQQ along with their sectors; both are heavy in 'information technology'. Is biotech more or less volatile?
