A 2022 Nasdaq crash turned $10,000 into just $2,100 with TQQQ but preserved $3,900 with QLD's lower 2x leverage.
Recovering from TQQQ's 79% loss requires a 376% gain just to break even, making the extra leverage a costly bet.
QLD's 5-year annualized return of 17% beat TQQQ's 15% as volatility drag quietly eroded the extra leverage's advantage.

Leveraged ETFs have become an increasingly popular way to participate in the recent AI-driven technology boom. One such fund favored by investors and traders alike is the ProShares UltraPro QQQ (NASDAQ:TQQQ), an ETF that targets three times the Nasdaq's daily return. For investors who are uncomfortable with the 3x target, the ProShares Ultra QQQ (NYSEARCA:QLD) offers similar exposure but targets 2x the Nasdaq-100's daily move. When the Nasdaq is advancing higher, TQQQ seems like the obvious choice, but during a serious selloff, the reduced leverage of QLD can dramatically change the amount of capital left standing when the decline is over.

JEPI, DIVO, and GPIX each pay near 8% monthly yields while growing share price by writing calls on only a portion of holdings.
GPIX has beaten SPY with an 80% return since its 2023 launch by capping its options overlay at just 25 to 75% of the portfolio.
DIVO's tactical options sleeve delivers a lower 6% yield but drives 72% five-year price appreciation, nearly matching SPY's gains.
Two retirees, same $1 million, same 4% rule, buy one finished with $1.4 million, the other hit $0 in 12 years. Our free reader guide explains the flaw that separated them, and the income-first method built to avoid it.
Covered call ETFs have a reputation problem. For years, the category was defined by funds like QYLD and XYLD that wrote at-the-money calls on entire index portfolios, harvested rich premiums, and quietly bled principal every time markets rallied. Investors got their monthly check and watched their share price drift lower. That is the trap worth avoiding.

Portfolio results were mixed, with Alphabet benefiting from strong Cloud growth, while Robert Half, H&R Block and other holdings posted solid gains.

Hosted by Mariska Hargitay and live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards welcomed over 20 first-time nominees, including Chase Infiniti for The Testaments, Hacks star Megan Stalter, Sarah Pidgeon for FX's Love Story, and Carey Mulligan, who is up for two Emmy nominations for her role as Lindsay Crane-Martín in Netflix's Beef.
Mulligan attended tonight's ceremony in a dress designed by everyone's favorite minimalist duo, the Olsen twins. And yet, despite The Row's restrained approach to fashion, Mulligan's resort 27 dress is anything but. It's colorful. It's playful. It's eye-catching. The sky-blue strapless dress teases a reveal of a stark-white underpinning at the neckline, overlayed with patterned embroidery. Mulligan wore for minimal jewelry—no necklace, opting instead for stunning diamond stud earrings and a pearl ring.
The back of the dress features a deconstructed bow that drapes down to meet the hem, where a pair of pointed-toe heels peek out from underneath. See the entirety of Mulligan's look below.

Calls to repeal women's rights to vote are emerging from the online firestorm over the Lindsay Clancy trial, prompting Republican women to warn that the intraparty rhetoric could hurt the GOP.
"I think there's definitely a threat in the Republican Party right now," political and legal strategist Mehek Cooke told Fox News Digital.
The online calls to repeal the 19th Amendment come after Clancy's high-profile murder trial ended in a mistrial, with 11 of the 12 jurors favoring a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity. Clancy admitted to killing her three children, but her defense argued she was not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Two retirees with identical $1.65M portfolios face different tax outcomes based solely on withdrawal order and account placement, not holdings.
Drawing down or converting a traditional IRA to Roth before age 73 shrinks future RMDs and keeps income below IRMAA Medicare surcharge thresholds.
VTEB's tax-exempt municipal interest still counts fully toward IRMAA calculations, making it a hidden Medicare cost trap for retirees.

Two retirees, same age, same $1.65 million balance, same seven holdings in identical weights. One will pay a Medicare premium surcharge stacked on top of a rising required withdrawal starting at 73. The other will not. Only the order they draw from, and the accounts those draws come from, separates the outcomes.

At the end of Stage 1, the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series field filed down pit road for standard pit stops, but things quickly went very wrong.
On the narrow pit road, there was a check-up that led to Rajah Caruth and Nick Sanchez spinning. It was an accordion effect as cars piled in, pushing each other into the wreck.
Caruth's car clipped crew members of Brent Crews' No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing, who also narrowly avoided being crushed by Sanchez's out-of-control car. It was a truly frightening moment that could have resulted in severe injuries, but thankfully, everyone was okay.
That was such a close call for Bryan Backus on the rear of the No. 19.

So glad to see him get up. pic.twitter.com/duFSFNxVnz
Most of the field was trapped behind the accident scene, unable to move. NASCAR was forced to immediately red flag the race.

No. 4 Notre Dame rolled over the Rice Owls, 52-0, in the season's home opener for the Fighting Irish.
Notre Dame avoids the trap of falling to a heavy underdog early in the season, as it has in previous years. Instead, the coaches had the chance to get depth players game action, and the Irish should be well set up as the schedule gets harder going forward.
With a win like that, there are plenty of stars -- we have our top five stars below.
Notre Dame took the ball away four times as Rice struggled to hold on to the ball. Some fumbles were forced, some were not, but Notre Dame defenders hopped on four of them, including a Boubacar Traore scoop and score early.
Quarterback CJ Carr's favorite target took over the game early with two touchdowns. He had just four catches for 54 yards, but he was far more productive than the numbers indicate.

Emily Blunt reunited with co-star Meryl Streep for an unforgettable high-fashion evening in New York City. Attending The Devil Wears Prada 2 Wardrobe Auction, the English actress commanded total attention on the red carpet. Captivating fashion lovers and photographers everywhere, she proved once again that classic black gowns can deliver maximum drama, movement, and modern playfulness.
For the high-profile charity auction, Blunt wore a striking runway piece straight from Christian Cowan's Spring/Summer 2027 collection. Her long-time stylist Jessica Paster curated the monochromatic look, which expertly balances modest coverage with daring sheer texture. The top portion of the dress features a sleek, form-fitting black turtleneck knit with snug long sleeves. Below the hips, the structured knit stops, giving way to sheer netting completely covered in cascading black fringe tassels.
The floor-length black fringe moved with every step, while crystal-embellished Dolce & Gabbana satin sandals added a subtle sparkle beneath the hem. The sandals' crystal straps were occasionally visible through the swinging fringe, complementing the otherwise monochromatic look.
Posing on the red carpet, Emily shared a warm moment with legendary co-star Meryl Streep. Emily wrapped one arm affectionately around Meryl's shoulder as both actresses smiled brightly for the camera line. Meryl looked equally chic in a patterned silk dress, creating an iconic reunion snapshot that delighted fans of the classic fashion film.
Emily's glam team kept her beauty routine polished and timeless to complement the dramatic dress. She wore her warm blonde hair pulled back into a neat, slicked-low bun. Her makeup featured radiant skin, soft bronzer, subtle winged eyeliner, and a glossy berry-pink lip. By contrasting a simple long-sleeved turtleneck with an ultra-fun fringe skirt, Emily Blunt executed high fashion with complete confidence.

Lili Reinhart kept things effortlessly cool during a recent outing in London, pairing a delicate slip dress with a rugged leather jacket for a look that balanced soft and edgy in equal measure. The actress stepped out for a visit to Capital Buzz on September 8, drawing attention for her laid-back take on off-duty style.
Lili Reinhart pairs delicate slip dress with Saint Laurent leather jacket in London. Reinhart wore the Theory Velima Slip Dress, a cream-toned piece held up by nothing more than two thin straps. The dress featured a loose, tiered silhouette that fell just above the knee, with soft, flowing fabric that gave the look an airy, undone quality despite its minimal strap construction.
Over the dress, Reinhart layered a black leather biker jacket from Saint Laurent, noted as a secondhand find rather than a new purchase. The structured, moto-inspired jacket added a sharp contrast to the softness of the slip dress underneath, giving the overall look a lived-in, rock-and-roll edge.
She finished the outfit with Golden Goose's Kurt Boots, a slouchy black leather style priced at $1,130, along with Elisa Johnson's Dakota Sunglasses, retailing at $135. Photos from the outing show Reinhart walking confidently along a London street, her blonde hair loose and tousled as the jacket slipped slightly off one shoulder.
The London stop comes in the middle of a packed press run for Reinhart's new film, "The Love Hypothesis." Just a day after this street style moment, she stunned at the film's London premiere in an archival plunging Emanuel Ungaro dress, and she recently wore a custom Rodarte beaded tulle gown for the film's German premiere.

When Dua Lipa stepped out for Bulgari's Serpenti Infinito celebration in New York, her shimmering camisole top turned heads for its delicate straps and eye-catching embellishment. Following this highly anticipated appearance, designer Clio Peppiatt revealed exactly where that top came from, and it isn't even on shelves yet.
Dua Lipa's Bulgari event top is an unreleased piece from Clio Peppiatt's Cruise 27 collection. Peppiatt shared the reveal on her own Instagram, confirming Lipa wore a piece from the label's upcoming Cruise 27 collection. The striking ivory and gold camisole featured dense sequin and bead embellishment arranged in a soft floral pattern. The top was held up by the thinnest metallic spaghetti straps for an elegant look. The fitted, corset-style shape hugged Lipa's torso closely, with the embellishment catching the light with every step down the street.
Peppiatt captioned the reveal "a little glimpse of what's to come," crediting photographer Lorenzo Posocco for the images. In a follow-up post, she teased that the piece belongs to an "unreleased Cruise collection launching next month." This brief announcement gave excited fans an early look at the label's next drop ahead of its official release.
Lipa paired the sparkling top with tailored black wide-leg trousers for a sleek silhouette. This choice allowed the embellished camisole to remain the clear focal point of her entire outfit. She finished the look with a Bulgari Serpenti bracelet in 18-karat rose gold, a diamond and ruby choker, and matching stud earrings, all fitting given her role as a Bulgari ambassador.
Fans reacted quickly to Peppiatt's reveal, flooding the comments with fire emojis and calling the look "iconic." The designer is well known for creating hand-embellished and statement-making fashion pieces. She has increasingly become a red carpet favorite among pop stars seeking genuine texture and shine.

Jordyn Woods pulled off a move that only a few people dare to do, and that was to wear her own shoe designs to New York Fashion Week. The model and fashion designer attended the Michael Kors spring 2027 fashion show on Friday wearing a feathered sandal from her own shoe collection. Jordyn Woods Stephanie Augello Woods opted for the Woods by Jordan Stunt Sandal in gray. The bold slip-on feather sandal heels are a modern take on a traditional sandal. They are designed with a micro squared open toe, a comfortable and thong toe strap, all while balancing on a stable 4.25-inch heel. The slip-on shoe features a thoughtful wide-foot design and a cushioned footbed. They are designed with a 3.5-inch-tall feathered cuff, which can be steamed to fluff out the feathers for a fuller look. While the gray style is not currently available on the website, the designer offers the shoes in orange faux ostrich leather, denim, croc-embossed banana yellow, black leather, black feathers and white feathers. The shoes retail for $295. Courtesy of Woods by Jordyn. She paired the shoes with a look from the Michael Kors Collection.

Judd Nelson made a rare public appearance in West Hollywood this week, looking a lot different than he did as an '80s teen icon.
In photos shared by the Daily Mail and published on Friday, September 11, the Breakfast Club star, 66, stepped out in an eclectic layered look — camo pants, a brown shirt and a loosely ***** oned plaid overshirt in blue, red and white, all topped off with a black trench coat. He rounded out the outfit with a gray ball cap and sunglasses. But the real transformation came from his beard: long, gray and scruffy, it obscured much of his once-famous face.
David Edwards / MEGA
Nelson grinned as he geared up, strapped on a sticker-covered black helmet, hopped on his motorcycle and headed off into traffic.
The Suddenly Susan alum tends to avoid the red-carpet circuit and public events, but he's a familiar sight to Angelenos who spot him weaving through the city on two wheels. His love of motorcycles even led to a memorable mishap decades ago on his first day filming 1991's New Jack City alongside Ice-T and Chris Rock.

Anne Hathaway brought fisherman sandals into the summer-to-fall stretch at New York Fashion Week on Thursday. The actress attended the Moncler Fifth Avenue flagship opening in New York City with her husband, Adam Shulman, wearing The Row's black leather Capri Knotted Slides with a relaxed double denim ensemble. Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman attend Moncler Fifth Avenue flagship opening at 767 Fifth Avenue on Thursday in New York City. GC Images Made from pebble-grained leather, the backless flats feature knotted straps, cutouts along the sides and toe and a flat round heel. The shoes may have been the most understated part of the Erin Walsh-styled outfit, but they made a strong case for one of fashion's most useful transitional styles. With the seasons beginning to shift, Hathaway delivered an easy styling lesson for when the weather is unpredictable: wear a shoe that can do both. Anne Hathaway at the Moncler Fifth Avenue opening **** tail party and dinner held at the Moncler Fifth Avenue flagship on Sept. 10 in New York.

Amal Clooney has continued to light up the Venice Film Festival this week, wearing a plethora of show-stopping looks. Saving the best for the tail end of the week, the 48-year-old turned heads in a rich red, strapless gown that featured delicate ruched detailing.
In photographs shared by her faithful hair and makeup artist, Dimitris Giannetos, Amal looked more striking than ever in her movie-star style gown, which she supplemented with contrasting turquoise beads.
Her luscious hair looked thick, full, and flowing, and she looked the epitome of elegance as she gazed over the Venice canal.
Kicking off her star-studded week of glamour, Amal stepped out at the prestigious, world-famous festival when Laura Dern presented her husband George with the Lifetime Achievement in Cinema Award.
The human rights lawyer donned a black, ruffled custom Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann gown, accessorised with Cartier jewels.

A dress worn by Princess Diana dubbed her "revenge dress" is being put up for auction.
The late Princess of Wales wore the strapless black silk evening dress to a party in London hours after her then-estranged husband Prince Charles admitted to committing adultery during their marriage.
Her dramatic arrival at the Serpentine Gallery in 1994 in the outfit became an iconic pop-culture moment.
Auction house Sotheby's expects the dress to sell for up to £220,000 ($300,000) when it goes under the hammer on 9 December - the first time it has been up for auction since 1997, when the princess sold 79 of her dresses just months before her death to raise money for charities.
Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's Global Head of Handbags and Fashion, said in a statement that Princess Diana "understood instinctively" that fashion can be a language in its own right.

Alex Fine, who plays Donnie, one of Kat McAllister's enforcers in MobLand, is confirmed to return for Season Two. He attended the world premiere in London with his wife, Cassie Ventura.
Matt Crossick/Variety via Getty Images
Alex wore Saint Laurent Fall 2026, taking the cropped cable-knit sweater from the runway and giving it a much cleaner spin with wide-leg black trousers. I've been enjoying the collection's striped pieces on the red carpet, but I like that Alex didn't recreate the runway styling. The all-black palette puts the focus on the proportions, which is what makes this work for me.
Cassie opted for a Magda Butrym wool corset dress, and this is easily my favourite part of their couple's style moment. The precise darting and padded hips create that exaggerated hourglass silhouette the designer does so well, and you know I love a well-executed exaggerated silhouette.
The dress is so good that the shoes frustrate me even more. The bronze pointed-toe pumps with criss-cross ankle straps feel disconnected from the modernity of the silhouette. A pewter strappy sandal or mule would have been a much stronger finish and allowed the dress to have the final word.

Two big trees in Addie Reed's backyard are connected by a soccer net that her dad, Jon, put up.
It was a tradition to play a family pickup game together after dinner, Reed said.
Maya Bourque has fond memories of going to the soccer field with her dad, Steve, and older sister, Sophie, to get some practice in.
"Sophie would be able to practice her crosses and whatnot and my dad would practice easy control of the ball and traps with me," Bourque said.
Bourque and Reed's last names are prominent within the Sunapee High School soccer programs. The lifelong friends and senior center backs for the Lakers girls team are adding to their family legacies.

After watching his team win the Outrigger Invitational last weekend, Hawaii women's volleyball coach Joshua Walker pointed to the mental aspect of the game more than the physical.
"We have a smart team," Walker said. "All these teams we played this past weekend were very different styles. Our ability to adapt quickly, learn quickly and be able to execute was very impressive."
The Rainbow Wahine improved to 4-2 for the season without their leading hitter, Cha'lei Reid, who averaged 3.00 kills in her first three matches before being sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Senior outside hitter Panna Ratkai, who competes with Reid for playing time when Reid is in on the left side, stepped up in her absence.
She averaged 4.00 kills per set among her 52 in the tournament and was named the Old Trapper Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.

Jennifer's toasted almond locks were swept back into a braid while her makeup exuded soft glam with a brown smokey eye, a pinch of blush, and a glossy natural lip. The star opted for '90s minimalism as she refrained from wearing any jewelry.
While on the show, Jennifer playfully corrected the talk show host's grammar with a witty comeback. The duo discussed Jennifer's spy television series Alias and the sneaky skills she learnt from being on set.

Prince Harry is allegedly looking for unusual new opportunities to revamp his public image. The sources reveal his team has been searching for adventurous and charity stunts to rebuild his image.
Prince Harry's reported change in public image strategy involves taking part in high-profile physical challenges for charitable causes.
According to Rob Shuter's Substack Naughty But Nice, sources said, "Harry needs action. Another stage, speech or interview isn't going to change the conversation. They want him jumping out of planes, climbing mountains and taking risks. The goal is simple: make Harry the Tom Cruise of princes."
The Duke of Sussex is reportedly set to participate in a charity skydive later in September.
A source added, "Put Harry in a jumpsuit, strap a parachute to him, and suddenly ***** ody is talking about family feuds or Netflix. They're watching a prince jump out of an airplane for charity. That's powerful imagery."
