I’m not short selling, it’s a buy order at -20%, untriggered yet but pretty close, I’ll use a loan for the buy, so no cash is blocked in the meantime. I made a nice amount of money the same way during the corona crash.
Who has got to “close the gap” here? 
NASDAQ 100 peaked in 2000 at 5132 on March 10. It’s currently at 11950.
Two weeks later, S&P 500 peaked at 1552. It’s currently at 3900.
The period around 2000 was a relatively short 2-3 year outlier though, from which a investor would have fared better by investing in the S&P500 rather than NASDAQ-100.
Even keeping in mind the slightly higher dividend yield of S&P500, when you look at the ratio between these two indices

…there has been quite clearly a longterm trend of NASDAQ-100 outperforming S&P500.

Thanks for the update. Indeed the selection of 2000 as the starting year in Portfolio Visualizer was not ideal - but as I said before, it’s the longest data which was available for SPY and QQQ. I didn’t specificly selected year 2000.
The long-term trend is indeed impressive!
Never done that, thanks for the tip!
