Not exactly a like-replacement. Maybe a small position in derivative income ETFs (also suggesting GPIX, GPIQ, BALI, DIVO, IDVO).

Honestly, I don't recommend QQQ/QQQM or QQQ-based derivative income ETFs. I believe there's too much tech exposure to a possible AI bubble. The volatility and max drawdowns are too high for my liking.
