Expecting a big drawdown in September? Not so fast - here's what most investors usually miss.

September Swoon: Is a Big Sell-Off Imminent?

XLK, the SPDR Select Sector Technology ETF, offers concentrated exposure to high-margin tech companies, and could potentially outperform other funds like QQQ over the long term. Tech companies have unique advantages due to low unit COGS and high barriers to entry, which powers excellent operating leverage. Despite valuation concerns, XLK's top holdings are trading near their 5-year fair value ranges, making the ETF attractive at 28x FWD P/E.

XLK ETF down almost 15% from its July high, underperforming the S&P 500 ETF by 6%+. However, the technology sector sell-off was not rational; earnings were strong, and we are still in a long-term secular bull market in Tech, driven by AI and other growth catalysts too. The XLK ETF has a concentrated portfolio, with 41% in just two stocks: Microsoft & Nvidia. The expense fee is a very reasonable and economic 0.09%.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ) has grown to become quite a dominant holding in a number of tech-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) amid its glorious ascent. Though NVDA stock is no longer the world's largest company after its latest correction, bringing the market cap to $3 trillion flat, I still think it's a bad idea to think the firm can't continue its growth just because of its behemoth size.

3 ETFs to Buy for Nvidia Stock Dominance

Nvidia Corporation's increased weighting in The Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund ETF poses concentration risk, impacting overall performance and vulnerability to market corrections. The XLK ETF's Seeking Alpha quant metrics raise concerns, especially with increased Nvidia weighting & potential downside risk of 45% in Nvidia, leading to a potential 9% downside in the ETF. Given this, I am a sell on the ETF.

XLK: Low Diversity, Too Concentrated On Nvidia Stock

XLK's recent performance is likely to attract more momentum seeking investors, but there are significant risks involved. Extreme concentration within the ETF is making it less likely that it will continue to outperform more diversified alternatives. The current set-up also does not favour momentum stocks and this is a major red flag for the ETF's future performance.
