You might try to buy on LARGE, very large, market dips downward? But, timing the market is SUPER difficult!
Many of the QQQ leaders are also in the SP500. . . there are segments of the $SPY which are more suitable for retirement portfolios, $SPYD is the one with dividends and showing the best relative strength. . .

Also would want to put a small amount in commodities, or metals, etc. as that sector has dwindling resources . . and then electric utilities as they are guaranteed a return by Federal statute, and there is a large push for clean energy, which the utilities provide.
