What funds? Funds that hold something other than stocks? Gold fund? Oil fund? Guess what, they hold stocks! Otherwise you are trading futures!

Overnight, would you stop being such a grumpy old man, especially someone who is doing something for free, at no cost to you? Chill dude.
Yes, FUNDS. Yes, they hold STOCKS. Can you not put 2 and 2 together and see what I am trying to do here? I'm trying to see if anyone can come up with funds that, put them together, one offsets another, etc. etc., and they beat the QQQs on a return/risk ratio. Doing that with stocks is kind of pointless because a stock is too narrow, the race would just be to find the stock that went up the most in the past. But chances are slim and none that will be the best going forward. Funds hold many securities so that risk, while it is still there, is at least somewhat smaller.
Come on man, sometimes you just have to figure things out... its not that hard, really...
