It does not say QQQ is a good or bad fund, and it is not a forecast. Returns above are history: they already include dividends and already exclude the fund's own fees. A drawdown of -35.1% means an investor who bought at the peak would have watched that much value disappear before it recovered — how long that takes is the part most tables leave out.
