Sure; 1999 was the peak in the Nasdaq but it represents the problems associated with expecting anything will always lead.

It took you nearly 14 years to recover losses in QQQ if your entry point was in ‘99.



Meanwhile, small cap stocks broke out from ‘99 highs roughly 3 years later.

Nasdaq probably has plenty of room to run but there’s going to be a point in time where it isn’t beneficial to be massively overweight.
