There’s an order of magnitude more money indexed to the S&P 500, you have to go out out your way to buy QQQ since NASDAQ 100 and total market funds are uncommon in 401K options for employees.

QQQ is more volatile and higher risk than the S&P 500, the people buying it should understand that.

You could buy QQNE :)

And who is forced to buy QQQ?

I'm not sure why that's relevant. The original discussion was about who's forced to buy NDX 100 stocks like SpaceX. The answer to that is "index funds".

Asked and answered. Whatever cute point you're trying to make is rendered moot by real market dynamics and index inclusion rules.

Many retirement accounts have limited options, leaving few passive index options. I sort of doubt many would offer qqq but not s&p, but it’s possible

Why was musk/spacex so interested in having the rules broken to include spacex stock? Do you think maybe there was a reason that involved musk benefitting??
