Basket of Biotech update – what next?

Last year I asked about investing in a basket of biotech stocks and ended up splitting my money evenly into 2 ETFs: IBB and IBBQ

Unexpectedly, the lower expense ETF IBBQ outperformed its counterpart by 4%. Both funds blew past the S&P and NASDAQ. Since March 2025, I'm up 52% and 48% respectively on these funds.

What now? Buy more? Hold? or Sell?

Thoughts on the biotech sector over the near and long term?

Why did IBB underperform by 400 basis points?
