Every time someone holds both $VOO and $QQQ$QQQM, someone in the comments has to point out the overlap. But real question… If you’re intentionally putting more money into companies you already believe in, is the overlap actually a problem? Or is it only a problem when you don’t realize it’s happening? I personally like the overlap. Especially when it means I’m adding even more to names like $AAPL that I already want heavier exposure to. Curious though — do most people see overlap as a real issue, or is that just one type of investor talking? Not financial advice — just a 23 yr old Canadian thinking out loud

The overlap is only a problem if you’re doing it by "accident" thinking you’re diversifying. If your goal is to intentionally double down on mega-cap tech, the redundancy is the whole point. Intent matters.

If you believe tech is the future it isn’t really a problem.

I'm not sure why anyone would hold QQQ/QQQM in general. It's not like it's pure tech, it's not like it's a well constructed index, it's just random stocks that happen to be NASDAQ-listed. People holding them tend to be performance chasers.

Okay but what’s overlap?
