strategy? What strategy? Tech only?

at least $UBER isn't really a tech company, it's just a cab company with a fancy app, and if you're a tech company with your own app... oh man, $MCD and my local brewery are in the tech business now. 😉
And $AMZN is most likely a retailer/logistics provider rather than what I would call technology....
But I'm with you, this is not a strategy that is a gamble on US large caps
At this point just buy $UST it makes no difference... 🙃

Actually if you bought the 10 large caps in the US for the last 10 years, with rebalancing yearly you have 600% against 490% of Nasdaq 100.

@M1ch3 YES, but this is a retrospective. If you do not know the future (what I suppose) I would go for a minimum diversification with the EQQQ.

•@M1ch3 So 10 years ago which 10 stocks have been the 10 largest?
General electric
exxon mobil
johnson and johnson
well fargo
to name some…
those underperformed the nasdaq.
What iam trying to say is that performance in the past and current market cap dont mean anything.
Make your own analysis on those stocks and reiterate your investment decisiom dont fall for the typical beginner misassumption of picking the big names while taking past performances and project them into the future.

@Performax But each year you need to rebalance your portfolio, and replace the underperforming with the other companies. it's the same as manage ETF. instead of the biggest 500 (sp500) it's the biggest 10 of each year. I have made a lot of simulations and it's quite appealing.

good luck with that

@PowerWordChill $AMZN just a retailer/logistics provider…? Prime Video, and specially AWS with it’s cloud service, the app… if Amazon was just a retailer the valuation wouldn’t be so high, and it wouldn’t be affected so much every time it has good or bad news from it’s hard tech part of the business…
And $UBER is not a cab company, the value is the app and the capacity of getting comissions on it, they don’t own the cars nor employ the drivers (and now they’re also in delivery business with Uber Eats)…

•@Carles Good points, but for Amazon that's not their core business. They do these things on the side and they happen to be more profitable than their core business. But more than 70% of revenue comes from the online store, third party sellers and physical stores.
The crazy thing is that without AWS, the profit would be close to zero.
And Uber offers the same service as a cab company. Yes, they don't have to buy their own cars and their drivers are independent contractors.
But at the end of the day, it's about transporting people.
They also have a lot of litigation going on because many states think this is a cab company and should be treated as such.
we may be dealing with a definition problem. When is a company considered “tech”?
Is a company that makes batteries "tech" or is it "industrial"?
How much of my core business can be non-tech so that the company itself can be tech?
Is tech defined as advanced technology or as everything that has to do with tech?
If we define it too broadly, EVERYTHING becomes tech. 😉

@PowerWordChill in any case, all this stocks tend to move in a similar direction, so I'd consider it not very much diversified investments...
