No, it's the valuation in their March funding round, where investors include ARKK, a bunch of other retail-focused long-only funds as well as "individual investors". [https://openai.com/index/accelerating-the-next-phase-ai/](https://openai.com/index/accelerating-the-next-phase-ai/)
Not everything recovers, including ETFs that seem diversified. ARKK ETF is stil -32% over the last 5 years.
Revisiting this in August 2026... According to the data they provide subscribers, from 2019-2025, the charitable trust's cumulative return was 1% LESS than the S&P500. QQQ did about 50% better. If you are trading in a taxable account, you also get to pay extra taxes along the way, further diluting your cumulative return. The trust didn't even deliver lower volatility. The goods news is at least you didn't invest in Cathie Woods' ARKK.
Maybe it’s not time yet, but a lot of these charts are at the very least going to look like 2021-2022 ARKK style esque in the end. Yes the valuation looks good, but you can’t fall into that trap involving memory chips. We are probably pretty close to peak cycle and it wouldn’t surprise me if “top is in for the SOXX.” The only question out there is do we wind up seeing names like Microsoft soften the blow at the index level this time instead of a near 40% Nasdaq drop this time.
Best I can do is 3x ARK (ARKK) although Cathie might day drink?
imagine having invets in ARKK 5 years ago in a fuckin bullish market, and you still are -36%
I was thinking the same and looked it up but he made the right calls on GME and ARKK
Will ARKK reach ath before the bubble pops? I genuinely doubt it.
You are right with Palantir, my bad. Let's see how it plays out next couple of months. Palantir is severely overvalued so there his trades are at least logical. Especially comparing to Katy with her ARKK
Circling back to [$ARKK](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/arkk?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=ARKK&utm_content=template_1785767142447_f7uthb). I try to look at the data before forming a view. Doing my own homework on.
So here’s the sitch: Spcx is $107/share only because IPO shareholders, ARKK and index fund investors are permabulls, all while shorts can’t find enough shares to short Simple math: it’s nearly 35% below IPO price and 35% short into varying levels of liquidity When the float expands it will be from actual sellers looking to lock in profits. This is the one event that completely derisks their portfolios by cashing out the small amount they are allowed to. ….AAAND increases how many shares shorts can get there will be enough liquidity for existing shorts to cover, I dont see a real squeeze potential, just a reload
I'm sorry to say it, but there's a really good chance those charts look like the ARKK style stocks from 2021-2022 tbh over the coming 6-12 months even if the major averages are able to hold up much better this time. It doesn't mean that they aren't bad companies! It means the following... 1. Most of the leverage was cleaned out and it's hard to goose companies without the leverage. 2. We're closer than you may think to the CAPEX cycle turning. 3. I know y'all in r/stocks want to view this point as silly, but the charts are "very" damaged here. Yes, this does matter because the "hot money" is going to be gun shy now.
He’s still up 80% ytd meanwhile ARKK is -8% lmao
If you invested in ARKK 5 years ago, you'd be down over 42%. How the fuck is Cathie Wood still taken seriously lmao
Haha good analogy. I doubt he will pull an ARKK.
I've been making money lately betting against stocks by buying PSQ (short NASDAQ 100), SARK (short ARKK), and CRSH (short TSLA), and shorting naked TSLA calls. (TSLA is now down enough that I closed out all my calls.) A lot of semiconductor stocks are way down from their recent high levels. AGX is down quite a bit. Berkshire Hathaway is doing pretty well, on the other hand. What's weird to me is that VIXM (an ETF based on the VIX volatility index) is staying low.

Cathie Wood’s ARKK is down YTD
Have not heard about this ARKK fund with Cathy Wood. Have heard of ARKVX. I want to moon DXYZ because I know they can start exiting IPO after IPO in the next two years. 10 to 100 bags. I am thinking to put the limit order at 3000 to get out. But it takes speculation to get that price you won't be able to do that with Arkvx [https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkvx](https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkvx)
"How do active value managers even still exist?" I've said over the years that if you are a value manager and have a bad run, financial media doesn't care (they're not really interested in having you on to talk about some regional bank trading cheaply) and your fund will close. If you're a growth manager having a bad period, you'll still get called to talk "the next big thing" up time and time again. Case in point: Cathie Wood still being interviewed despite ARKK being down 33% in the last 5 years.
Roku has been absolute garbage for so long. Negative cash flow, terrible PE, and absolutely obliterated by every tv manufacturer building the “need” for smart tv on their own. The only reason it lasted this long was Cathie wood staying long on it with ARKK- because her brother is CEO. And even after all that- of course she still made a killing on it.
Who wants to buy some ARKK shorts?
I was worried when I saw ARKK had HOOD. HOOD is a buy and hold for the long term.
The most recent comparison from PortfoliosLab shows: * SPY: 15.55% annualized * ARKK: 16.35% annualized The slight difference comes from the exact ending date used and ARKK’s much higher volatility. SPY’s expense ratio is 0.0945%. ARKK’s expense ratio is 0.75%. So ARKK costs about: * 7.9× more than SPY * An additional $1,311 per year on a $200,000 investment To put that in dollar terms: If you started with $100K you would have a $403K return with $ARKK and $410K with $SPY. Congrats regard, you had to have a higher return to earn less money.
ARKK beat SPY in the last 10 years
Why tf did ARKK go down then??? I went balls to the calls on ARKK for SPCX exposure
So far the total return is lagging behind the S&P 500 by quite a bit: https://totalrealreturns.com/n/WEEL,VOO And considering their biggest holding in the last prospectus on their website is ARKK, I would say it is also much riskier than just holding the S&P 500
ARKK sits at a whopping negative 2.26% ytd that tells you everything you need to know about her investment strategies
The past 5 years has been a massive bull run. ARKK is down 40% since Cathie's hype was polished off.
I'm all in on since 2023. I believe on a red day similar to today I liquidated everything in 401k ( I had shit like ARKK, and bunch of other loser stocks and ETFs) and bought NVDA. I recovered well. So I think you will do fine long term as long as NVDA fundamentals and future guidance continue to set new highs. But short term anything can happen, that's why I shares and LEAPs (2028 December)
You're not doing anything wrong, but you're overcomplicating it. With 11 ETFs in a Roth IRA, you're creating overlap that makes rebalancing harder without adding much diversification. SPY/VOO/VIG already cover the large-cap space, ARKK/ARKQ/DRAM are all thematic overlap, and buying $1/day of each means tiny positions spread too thin. Simplest fix: VOO (or VTI for total market) as your core, maybe 10% in a small/value tilt like AVUV if you want to factor-tilt, and treat ARKK/DRAM as a < 5% fun-money allocation if you believe in the thesis. You'll have fewer positions to track and the compounding on a single $11/day into VOO will be easier to manage.
Memory and semis today felt eerily similar to ARKK and SPACs implosion back in 2021
Good morning - I am 24 and starting to grow my Roth, I have 10k rollover coming into my traditional and want to make sure everything I have looks right. I wanted to know what I’m doing wrong? I shared in another group and they said I need to move it all into index funds. However my novice self thought these were good buys for long term and honestly thought ETFs were index funds. Daily $1 buys - ARKK, ARKQ, BRK.B, DRAM, FNDF, QQQ, SCHD, SFY, SPY, VIG, VOO. I understand the overlap in some but it’s a lot better than I had previously - any help is greatly appreciated and would love some feedback. I want to maximize my time while I’m young, I make decent money for my age 120k+. If you have any questions for me I would love to be able to answer some. Thanks!
Agree to (to a certain extent) disagree. To me, playbook example of an active fund is eg ARKK. That’s my reference, it’s a spectrum.
ARKK up only 2.25% YTD , this woman and her team of analysts are retarded , talks about future and shit but didn't buy any memory stocks
how has she not been fired. * **ARKK 5-Year Return:** \-27.2% * **S&P 500 (SPY) 5-Year Return:** \+92.8%
I remember at the time reading about ARKK the same way everyone now talks about DRAM. I never bought ARKK & actively rebuked many of its constituents. If it’s any consolation, I am actually more optimistic on the market today. Earnings are robust and DRAM in particular is still quite cheap, in my opinion.
I was up 165% in ARKK when I first started investing and thought it was normal. I didn't sell. It dropped to -65% and took me 5 years to break even when I sold that shit lmao.
don’t worry, it’s always the same story. many will get burned. remember all the goofballs a few years ago? why does nobody remember the covid bubble which popped? go look at ARKK, Zoom, Pelaton and other Covid era junk stocks.
Wasn't ARKK some bullshit innovation ETF. DRAM is a sector play. Seems like different things altogether.
DRAM 2026/27 is shaping up to be the ARKK of 2020/21.
I'll guess ARKK's cost basis is above $300.
Financial advisors help you tremendously on downside risk which apparently everyone on Reddit ignores. and think's their a fucking genius. Btw.. Cathie Wood's premier ETF, ARKK is 3.64% YTD. There's no downside protection in this 47 holding degen portfolio.
Guess what happen right after I sold my ARKK?
I think it's just kinda gross how much arguably "safer" investments went up compared to ARKK. Hindsight is 20/20 and I started some of those positions near the bottom of the lockdown

Don't worry there's always the other side of this. Saw the same shit in 2019. Remember everyone piling into stupid names like ARKK?
Even ARKK was up 4% today. Tells you the state of market
I remember my good old ARKK and ARKG bag holding days.
ARKK is also in it with like a 5% position. What is the bull thesis??
Geez, even Cathie is up this year.... Oh wait... ARKK, -4% YTD.
have you seen ARKK recently that shit is basically still dead and missed out on semi run
Everyone posting about semi’s in their portfolio just reminds me of 2021 ARKK…
ARKK, ARKW, and I believe maybe some others have outperformed SPY on a 10 year basis
I mean, she abslutely is still relevant in the investing community. She makes regular appearances on CNBC and Fox Business. Type her name into google news and you'll get tons of current articles with her name cited. I'm not defending her, and I'm definitely not an ARKK investor. My comment is specifically to address your comment that Reddit is obsessed with her. No, she is a legitimate point of conversation in the financial space which is what I believe this sub is targeting.
How is ARKK so dogshit with the way the market is? LOL
I sold all of my ARKK and ARKF yesterday. I was holding for like 5 years and finally was about even. I threw it all in VOO
ARKK just sold their RKLB positions...time to buy fellas!
Cathy Wood and ARKK are a great example of something dangerous in investing: a good story. People--not just us retail but many pros too--invest around good stories but in the end we don't know how things will actually perform, and our own biases and flaws will lead us to make risky and unwise decisions. Sometimes they work anyway. Often they do not. Interesting tidbit though: someone recently did an analysis that if Wood had simply let her winners like NVDA and TSLA run instead of capping them at 10% of her fund she would have had the most successful actively-managed fund of all time. That just shows the power of allowing your winners to run and how we tend to sell too early. But since she runs a fund and having a fund that supposedly finds new innovations and uses that as a story to attract more investment dollars then she just couldn't keep selling a fund that was 99% TSLA and NVDA. So she sold her winners early to keep them under 10%, missed most of their gains, and re-invested in other stocks that were mostly losers because in the end she was gambling with other people's money while collecting big fees to do so.
Berkshire Hathaway is green today and up for 5th straight day. It's nice to see invert reddit trade is still alive and well. Berkshire hasn't been shit on reddit this much since the Cathie Wood $ARKK bubble top in 2021. $SONY is up 3% today as well. It's surprising the reddit is quiet on the news of the JV b/w Sony & TSMC to manufacture next gen image sensors in Japan with Sony as the majority stakeholder. Sony is a conglomerate just like Samsung. People would do well to remember Sony isn't just a Video Game company just like Samsung isn't just a consumer electronics company. My port is Red today like most, but it's nice to see my 2 latest positions above both Green today.
Lool i got a video suggestion on YouTube, Cathie giving advice about what to buy and future performance...then I looked at ARKK performance for last 5 years...-25% 😂😂
I joined almost late in ARKK and one other fund of hers. Not much like 5K in each. Then saw an interview on yahoo finance where she said she takes her stock picks from the Bible. Immediately sold the next day at slightly up and one at slight loss for a net gain! They never gained those prices again.. Phew!
I think a lot of her reputation came from being spectacularly right for one very specific period. ARKK absolutely exploded in 2020 when low rates and stimulus made high-growth tech the only thing anyone wanted to own. People confuse a strategy working in one macro environment with permanent genius. The issue is her style only really works when liquidity is everywhere and investors are willing to pay huge multiples for future growth. Once rates went up, the same concentrated bets became brutal on the downside. Innovation investing isn't automatically bad, but paying any price for "disruption" usually ends badly. That said, I do think people underestimate how much the media loves extreme personalities in investing. A boring fund manager who quietly compounds at 10% never gets CNBC clips. Someone making huge Tesla predictions every week does.
The monkey dartboard analogy actually holds water and I’m sorry for her. The infuriating thing is that she’s spot-on in terms of themes but awful at identifying the winning stocks in them. EV stocks are a thing, genomics is a thing, AI is a thing. But somehow, she just ends up finding the absolute worst company in each one. The fan club remains the big question mark. The retail traders support her like she’s the second coming of Christ, yet they’re all down 60% in their ARKK positions.
She got one broken-clock performance for ARKK during 2020-2021 period. She got lucky with TSLA. Since then, ARKK was one of the lowest ETFs. Her usual excuse for poor performance for ARKK was "we are looking for the 5 year performance, not yearly". Now 5 year time span already passed, and ARKK is still in the bottom decile.
I’m trying to determine if I should continue investing in primarily FSKAX and if I should continue utilizing a standard 401K, Roth IRA, AND Traditional IRA to diversify my tax-advantage accounts or if I should just consolidate. - 40 years old, living in LCOL area - Sales engineer making between $150k-300k (100% commission) - Only debt is the house which is financed at 2.125% with 80k left on the mortgage, so I don’t necessarily need to move, but it’s the starter home I’ve been in for 12 years and wouldn’t be against moving if the right house came to market. 401k $629k in T.Rowe Retirement 2050 Fidelity Brokerage $561k Total - $326k in FSKAX - $69k in FTEC - $69k in FTIHX - $12k in NIO - $85K in SPAXX/SPRXX Roth IRA $31k Total - $18k in FSKAX - $9k in ARKK - $4k in NIO Traditional IRA $19k Total - All in FSKAX
