Here we discuss the Nasdaq index, aka the "technology" index, including some of the largest tech companies in the U.S. economy, as well as some multinationals from Europe and Asia.

So what exactly is the Nasdaq 100 index? The Nasdaq 100 is among the top American indexes as it has companies from what is currently the fastest rising sector in the world's largest economy. The Nasdaq contains stocks and shares of companies like Amazon, Apple and Google.

Trading the Nasdaq will mean you gain exposure to 100 companies from the sector, unlike the Dow Jones which has only 30 companies in it and the S&P 500, which has, unsurprisingly 500. Although limited in the type of companies it consists of, learning how to trade the Nasdaq 100 can be a valuable asset for any trader, as the companies in it have been consistent performers ever since the dot-com bubble of 2000.

So if you do decide to trade Nasdaq, be wary of the risks that high-flying stocks might have (susceptible to regulatory changes, sharp declines). But if you believe that tech stocks will continue their ascension, then the Nasdaq 100 is the index for you.

    1. For the short-term – yes. A single news release can cause sharp movements in both directions for the Nasdaq.

      There is an indicator for volatility that you can check out, it’s called the VIX index. You can see how long periods of high and low volatility last with it.

  5. Hey David. Thanks for the informative video. Do you perhaps know which companies/news release to look for if one wants to trade Nasdaq?

  7. Apparently NASDAQ recently just approved of FSD Pharma, a Canadian pharmaceutical company, to share its stocks. So cannabis is going to get around much easier.

  10. Can a Muslim trade in nasdaq,,like does it have riba ( interest), thanks for the answer 🤝

  13. Hey David? Can please teach me how to trade in nasdaq? Do you take online class ??

    1. Most newbies fail simply because they don’t understand how the market works in general or in particular how the market relates to stock/forex or currency pair they entering. If a retail trades doesn’t grasp what the market makers are doing and when they are doing it, the greatest strategy in the world will fall. For new traders the markets are like entering an F1 race before you’ve passed your drivers license test. I am a beginner I never believed l’ll make up-to $18,000 in just 1 week from trading with Mr Elvis he guided me for free with his strategy and he guides me with the exact time frame to trade and now I just received my first withdrawals $18k in my bank account today I’m very happy I recommend you contact him now he is very honest and trustworthy he will guide you to make consistent profit.
