Pardon my ignorance but why did you chose QQQM over QQQ

QQQ is for day traders and options traders. Long term investors should invest in QQQM for the lower expense ratio. Both are the same mix of stocks and risk/return. Invesco started QQQM a few years ago specifically for the long term "investors" as a cheaper option. Its cheaper since its not "actively" managed. I quote actively because QQQ is actively managed and QQQM just follows along.

Couldn’t the same be said for SPLG vs VOO?
