ARKK

isufud

Sold out of ARKK in 2023 and just put it in QQQ, now up over 110%. I'm still laughing and downvoting 😂

Cracked_Tendies

You ain't prove shit. ARKK still unprofitable at the fund level. Small cap growth black hole of investing LMAO

Boeing747855

There's a good chance that ARKK will be higher in 6 months, but I've sold and moved on.

thebusinessfactory

ARKK down 19% over 5 years while VTI up 80% over the same span, but keep acting like you're killin' it an way smarter than everyone else.

Cracked_Tendies

Top is in boys. ARKK investor thinks he's a genius 😂😂😂

spellbadgrammargood

ARKK is still down -20% from 5 years ago

YogiBearsPicnic

Cathie Woods is erratic. She is an Elon cultist and thinks he was dropped down here on Earth by the Lord himself. You can do what you are doing, but investing in Nasdaq, semis, etc., without doing ARKK.

netpirate2010

It does. And I just can't take Kathie seriously as an investor. But yeah as of right now, SP500 is up about 102% over the past 5 years and ARKK is DOWN 14% over the same time.

iAmTheWildCard

I’m up 120% from when I bought ARKK

Feltzinclasp5

No - it's fine. But why the hell do you own ARKK?

thetalentedmrbowser

This is my worst loss since I bought ARKK

It was delayed by the early year shenanigans, but I think you're finally seeing similar stuff to 2021 in more speculative areas. If ARKK closes here and IWM closes below 2021 cycle highs on the week, it's a bad look. 5 million dollar question if so is if the Nasdaq already set its long term high or will very shortly unlike 2021 where it was delayed. If it has, I just think it happened too early for the fun on the downside to get into the territory of -50% and major names getting tossed in jail involving AI. Might get 33-35% on the downside and that's it..

Mostly-Toastly22

High risk! The gold and crypto allocations are sort of at odds, but granted gold has outperformed the S&P500 by 3x and bitcoin by 5x so who knows. There's a lot of overlap bewteen ARKK, SCHG, and QQQ especially. I'd say simplify a bit there at least into the lower cost option.

Kaymish_

Get rid of ARKK you're just paying Catherine Wood to lose your money. If you're doing that just give it to me and I will invest it in ice cream, cocaine, hookers and steak. It will be just as gone, (well except for the hookers, the dumpster doesn't get emptied until Monday) but I will have had a lot of fun, and that is better than nothing.

95Daphne

It's still a bit early to tell for sure, but with the way ARKK is tracking, your best-case scenario is probably that we're early days in the way 2021 began topping out. That doesn't really align with where we are in the year though imo. Most probable scenario is probably that we drift into the end of the year with worsening breadth and then have the Nasdaq get touched up pretty good in a midterm year again.

95Daphne

You see, that was the way the rules worked before this year involving stocks and crypto, but it was reversed at least earlier this year. Crypto was first to top in January and stocks followed in February this year. If there's a loose correlation, there may be trouble if coin land doesn't ramp up soon and the bigger issue is probably that IWM and ARKK have flirted with danger.

RIP_Soulja_Slim

SOXX, ARKK, SPMO, and QQQ are all going to have massive overlap. Tech and momentum are intertwined heavily, and the others are all just straight tech plays.

RIP_Soulja_Slim

It beat the S&P by overloading tech, mostly TSLA. It also significantly underperformed post 2020 for those same reasons. ARKK isn't a well run fund, it's just a fund that's highly exposed to volatile sectors and had the luck of catching one on the upswing.

RIP_Soulja_Slim

> I can't believe I keep seeing ARKK show up again in these posts. "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" It's funny because I remember discussing ARKK and it's related funds in like 2020 and how they were just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, that mea culpa came pretty quick - so yeah it's strange to see anyone still investing in these several years after their continued slide.

Ev1l_ov3rLoAD

Curious what's wrong with ARKK? I was looking at the past 10 year performance and it beat S and P. I also liked its holding list. Isn't VTI the same as s and p? VXUS had really poor performance compared to s and p

therealjerseytom

I'd skip the gold, crypto, and ARKK entirely. Keep it simple with just VT, or VTI + VXUS or something The amount you can save and put away will make vastly more difference over your first 5-10 years, than any of this farting around to two decimal places with how much of SCHG or QQQ you do. Side note, QQQ is *not* "tech."

MountainMistCalm

Ah, the classic Reddit Pokemon portfolio: Gotta Catch 'Em All! >20% gold (Safe heaven) Why concern yourself with safety when you are 24yo, focus on capital growth instead. >25% bitcoin + Ethereum  I don't consider these investments, they are highly speculative gambles. Ideally this category would be 0% but if you must allocate to them I would limit my exposure to no more than 10%. >ARKK (Innovation) ->9.98% I can't believe I keep seeing ARKK show up again in these posts. "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" If I was in your shoes I would just do VTI and VXUS. This is a global portfolio that includes large caps stocks (like those in the S&P 500), mid and small cap stocks, growth and value stocks, dividend stocks, tech stocks, and international stocks. All that to say you would not need to add any other fund.  When I was younger I wasted a lot of time picking investments and trying to build a complicated portfolio thinking it would help. What I failed to realize sooner was HOW MUCH I INVESTED was more important than WHAT I INVESTED IN. I wish I would have focused my energy in improving my income, rather than focusing too much energy in picking investments.

allllusernamestaken

she was heralded as some oracle when ARKK was printing cash in 2021 but that's because she kept buying TSLA. After 2022, she has consistently made awful decisions for her funds. Reverse Cathie is more profitable than Reverse Cramer.

252780945a

Yeah, I got beat up on ARKK a couple years ago too. Still holding onto a little piece; she says it's somehow going to be up 5x in the next few years, but I don't see it. AI is dominating everything, how'd she miss it?

Fox2_Fox2

I have heard of it as it was hyped a few years ago because Cathy Wood bought into it , I think, but I never bought it. She just bought PACB which I think does similar things. Some people are buying it because she did. I lost my ass on ARKK and ARKG a few years ago, so I am not following her anymore.

Odd-Wrangler2745

Shorting TSLA by 0dte is ... Free money for ARKK. If you want to Short Tesla: naked stocks. No options. Patience. 450 -> 50 is a huge gain. 

portfoliorating

# WASTED MY 30s JUST TO UNDERPERFORM SP 500 AND AUNT CATHIE WOOD'S ARKK INVEST.... SO FK'ED UP

CanYouPleaseChill

Did you forget the retail speculation during 2021 (remember ARKK?) only for Big Tech to fall 40-70% and unprofitable tech shitcos to fall over 80%. All that’s happened since is a rebubble due to AI. The retail investor hasn’t changed everything. The only thing they’ve changed is increasing the amount of leveraged speculation in the form of short-term options.

masonic-boom

ARKK is just diluted TSLA

cbusoh66

Every time I feel bad about missing some gains, I remember Cathie Wood selling NVDA for $14 back in 2023. * **Late 2022 to Early 2023**: ARK Invest drastically cut its Nvidia position. The most significant portion of the sell-off occurred around November 2022, when the stock was trading in the $130–$140 range. * **January 2023**: ARK completely sold its remaining Nvidia stock in its flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK). * **March 2024**: Cathie Wood publicly defended the decision to sell, calling Nvidia "a massive bubble" and citing the chip industry's cyclical nature. She stated that she had shifted ARK's portfolio into other "higher conviction" AI plays.

cbusoh66

Don't feel bad for some random guy on the internet, Cathie Wood sold NVDA at a loss (Bought for $184 and sold for like $138), all pre 10:1 split, she fucking sold at $13.80 * **Late 2022 to Early 2023**: ARK Invest drastically cut its Nvidia position. The most significant portion of the sell-off occurred around November 2022, when the stock was trading in the $130–$140 range. * **January 2023**: ARK completely sold its remaining Nvidia stock in its flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK). * **March 2024**: Cathie Wood publicly defended the decision to sell, calling Nvidia "a massive bubble" and citing the chip industry's cyclical nature.

She’s a super bull so yeah it feels like 2021 ARKK lol I won’t fall for this again

AdBusiness5212

not really ARKK is crushing lately \+50% YTD \+90% 1Year she might be back to her golden days

JRAP555

I use ARKK instead of the VIX. When “unique” companies like what’s in her portfolio are flying it’s time to buy silly boring boomer companies.

Ceyenne18

her ARKK can't even beat any of the index so I have no idea why CNBC keeps giving her air time.

Mr_UBC_Geek

This stuff only works out great for short term bull markets. ARTY would be in the red if you brought at the peak of early 2021. ARKK would be red over 5 years and I'm red on my 5 year ARKG hold. XLK is great, SMH is good for exposure but VONG isn't giving the growth you'd want with the mega caps dominating. Future can't be determined, but most would do VOO over VONG.

RayU_AZ

The simple sucessful ETF portfolio I had used in the past is below. It's over- weight in tech, but thats where the returns have been the last couple of years. You can add other EFTs for other sectors to target, Xbi-biotech. I use the VOO/VEA combination before for non-US stocks and emerging markets. I like having a Cathy Wood's active managed ARK fund to boost returns, ARKK, ARKG or others. 1. VONG 80% 2. SOXX or SMH 5% 3. XLK %5 4. ARTY 5% 5. ARKK 5% I like VONG, 1000 Large cap growth over the plain VOO, S&P-500. I'm retired now with more time on my hands and have migrated over from hold & forget ETFs to pure stocks. Good luck.

EyeSea7923

318 P/E for TSLA? How does a stock with that market cap remain speculative lmao. It's gotta be a back room circle jerk with black rock, ARKK, etc. right?

dvdmovie1

The biggest atmosphere of concern that I've encountered is Reddit, where sentiment was apocalyptic at the bottom and has been bearish for most of the rise since. This sub was wildly bullish late last year, apocalyptic in April and in just about a year we're slowly getting back to most of the sub being bullish again. This sub in late 2020/21 was talking about piling into Ark funds (and ARKK is still down over the last 5 years despite being up 57% YTD) and yet this year, the market goes up every day and a fair amount of this sub has basically reacted "not like this!" the whole time. I just don't think the concern that I see is a material factor in the market going up. If someone comes on here every day since April as the market has continued ramping higher and sees repetitive varirations on the same bearish posts day in/day out, at what point do a lot of people simply tune that out? I'm not saying that there aren't concerns with the market, but people making the same bear case day in/day out eventually get tuned out by many. IMO, the WAY bigger concern that I have is that I think there are a lot of people overextending themselves into risk to try and keep up with the cost of living. The market (at least to me) is far more casino-ish than ever and the kind of risks that I see people taking is concerning. People full porting options, buying tiny names that turn out to be pump and dumps, the eagerness to throw money into BYND and hope that you're one of the people who gets out before the music stops, etc. People are reaching further and further into risk/turning their entire portfolio into gambling (and hey, they recently announced 5x leveraged single name etfs the other day) and that concerns me from a societal level. How many young people think they'll never be able to afford a house so the money ends up being YOLO'd into the latest meme?

hypsignathus

Never got into ark, finally looked up the holdings of ARKK. What a load of shit lol. Unsurprising it’s already gone tits up once.

gopoohgo

ARKK is up almost 60%.

gopoohgo

ARKK is up 55+% ytd and 88% 1 yr.   Yea hasn't recovered from 2021, but she's been doing pretty well since.

FarrisAT

It’s humorous how so many of the best investments are literally the biggest and healthiest tech companies which trade at 20-30x PE. The talking heads keep blabbering “expensive” but ignore how the Russell 2000 trades at 28x PE… let’s not even talk about ARKK or the meme stocks. The only inexpensive parts of the market are energy, which has no growth, and healthcare, which Republicans are demolishing. Meanwhile Big Tech will beat and raise AGAIN and the talking heads will whine AGAIN.

RayU_AZ

Many 5 years of 20 stocks. I was a ETF guy before, VONG, SOXX, ARKK, XBI, etc... But my returns have been higher with stocks over the last 5 years. But sometimes when I can't decide which semi-conductor company to buy, Sometimes they all look good, then I just park my money into a EFT, SOXX or SMH to own them all.

Practical_Movie_5887

Hey all, I’m 26 and working on a long-term DCA portfolio (10–15 year plan). I’m already maxing my Roth and putting 20% into my 401k. For my brokerage I’m doing: NVDA $41, AMD $22, ARKK $38, SMH $50, QCLN $25, SOFI $25, XBI $25. Wondering what you all think — too much overlap or risky concentration? What should i add or drop ? Appreciate any honest feedback.

GoZukkYourself

Fellas, you're hitting your waifu pillow from the back, and it turns around and says, "Buy ARKK calls." WDYD 🤔

Mahmeuver

I’m 39 years old single with no kids, looking to start investing in the stock market. Due to bad spending habits, I have no savings and just started to have a different mindset about money and started to save and invest. My goal is long-term gains: 10 -15 years. I am in a third-world country and I work as a freelancer and I get paid in USD, however, my income in USD is small. I can invest on monthly basis around 150-200$ I started with physical gold and silver. And looking for a portfolio like this: SPLG. 20% SCHG. 20% VXUS. 20% SCHD. 15% ARKK. 5% Gold/silver. 20% With continuous investment with every paycheck based on this income split: Needs. 30% Wants. 20% Invest. 30% Cash. 20% Your advice and opinion are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Routine-Prompt-1642

Is it dumb to monthly invest into ARKK. Will it go to 0 eventually?

RampantPrototyping

Sounds like the perfect stock for ARKK to pick up and sell at a loss in 6 months

CreateDeprivation

How has ARKK no recovers to its ATH after all these years?

Glock7enteen

Have they? ARKK is the face of growth stocks and it was 160 during the 2021 peak Even now after this historic rally it’s nowhere near close

closed my 200k short on ARKK, now the great depression will begin, sorry for all call holders...

dvdmovie1

Speculative, unprofitable names a la 2022 after 2020/21. SOUN, OKLO, etc. There's so many things that lost 40-50% quickly earlier this year (PLTR lost about 40% in 2 months, VST lost just shy of 50% in about 3 mo.) This sub went from scolding people if they weren't bullish late last year to scolding people if they were talking about buying a share of anything at the April bottom and we're almost all the way back to scolding people if they're not bullish. The market post covid has turned into escalator up (certain sectors go up seemingly every day; there's little concern for valuation aside from "price-to-narrative", so where as stocks would previously 5 steps forward, 2 steps back they just turn into a FOMO fest pile-on.) Eventually a lot of people get complacent/110% risk-on and all the sudden you get the elevator down (price-to-earnings suddenly matters again, everyone 110% risk-on can't dial-up so they de-risk.) Also, for all the talk about AI, people not talking about things like Gold Miners (GDX up 123% YTD), Copper Miners (COPX +66% YTD) and critical minerals in general (SETM +75% ytd.) While the AI trade goes on, there's a real assets trade clearly at work that has done better than the Mag 7 (MAGS +20% ytd) and tech (VGT +23% YTD.) Lastly, the fact that Cathie is actually having a good year with ARKK up 65% should be concerning, as is the fact that that fund is up 65% YTD and is still negative over the last 5 years.

Pink_Squadron_Medic

ARKK $100 bagholders never recovered

CanYouPleaseChill

The Covid era was only a couple of years. The Shiller P/E is based on a decade of data and far from worthless. Covid hasn't skewed the data that much. ARKK is full of meme stocks and is up 60% YTD. That's as clear a sign as any that speculative fervor is in the air.

ObviousDoxx

Saying this and then buying random emerging tech stocks (ARKK, ARKG, ARKQ type of stuff) is interesting.

HulksInvinciblePants

Shiller is worthless. Why would I care about a rear looking metric that contaminated with Covid era data. ARKK might be up 60%, but it’s still down 40% from its ATH.

Significant-Care-491

You know its bad when ARKK is up 115% in the last 6 MONTHS

CanYouPleaseChill

The euphoria is palpable. ARKK is up 61%. Quantum shitcos are up over 100% YTD. Meanwhile, the consumer staples ETF VDC is up just 0.5% YTD. Oh, and the S&P 500 has a P/E of 31 and a Shiller P/E of 40! We're in a massive bubble by any metric.

This is gonna rip once more money finds this stock. I tried to post about it but didn’t have the karma to start a post. Not sure about fundamentals, but in this market buy first figure it out second or you’ll be chasing it. C. Woods sold KTOS and jumped on this for ARKK ETF. How many more fund managers are looking for the next PLTR.

One of my favorite comments ever here years ago was someone saying his accountant was struggling not to laugh when she was looking at his ARKK losses.

95Daphne

If you weren't around for 2021-2022, I'd suggest reviewing what occurred to popular names from then, such as ZM, FSLY, TDOC, etc. Or just ARKK. And then if you hold RDDT, I'd strongly consider booking partial profits. The most likely case is that the Trump era won't be invincible to the same things that happened under Biden and some of the names that benefitted from a Trump election will end up getting hammered...heck, there's even similar divergences starting to appear in the Nasdaq to the lead up to 2022.

The fund that’s down over the past 5 years? That ARKK? Woods is the broken clock that’s right twice a day. You too could dump all of your money into high risk shit with no cohesive investment thesis and watch it have big swings upward and downward.

To be fair ARKK is having a pretty amazing year

Stocks_N_Bondage

>*I actually had some amazing positions that would have tripled my money (or even more), but I sold too early and held on to the losing trades.* This story is as old as time: take profits too early and let the losses run. The story of literally every losing trader. The secret is: take losses early and minimize them, and let the winners run. Literally the opposite of the strategy employed by the OP. As far as what OP should do, if he has no other assets, and minimal income, then declare chapter 7 bankruptcy. If he does not qualify for chapter 7, then pay it off. Each month put 5% of income into ARKVX, ARKK, SPY, and QQQ.

Major-Bookkeeper3830

You can always tell that asset prices are high when Cathie Wood starts shilling her ARKK funds on CNBC.

joe4942

ARKK -4%. So, it's a bad day for a lot of people's portfolio lol.

Gelatostonk

All in ARKK calls! Impossible to go tits up!

95Daphne

The news is what goes up must also come down. I don't know if that was IT yesterday, but it's likely many of the names that benefitted from a Trump election eventually get pounded.  If you weren't around for 20-22, I'd evaluate what we saw out of ARKK or QQQJ (next gen NDX100) and then I'd probably book some profits.

95Daphne

alrighty, this is getting a wee bit ridiculous here. I don't think it begins playing out until late this year at the earliest, but I think chances are increasing of a 2022-esque disappointment next year by the tech sector. And it may not just be the "hot stuff" like ARKK, which is what I was pondering about. Might include semis/AI.

Sawftswerve

Same - I remember the hype behind her ARKK investment when it was huge- been averaging down for ages 😂

ARKK 2019 did this to me. 13k >100k>0k. Been VTI holding and occasional apple calls ever since.

Does anyone know if tax loss harvesting can be applied against 401k withdrawal taxes? I made the same rookie mistake…ARKK & ARKG turned $50k into $23k for me.

I agree ARKK as a whole is doing well. Hold long enough and most things will go up. But this guy needs to understand she’s buying these as long term holds not near future options isn't

YTD is an arbitrary time period. ARKK dominated the sp500 at one point too. There is always something that will.  The point of investing in the total market is to get market returns over a long time period.

You mean the same Cathie Wood that allowed her flagship ARKK to lose over 80% in 2022? If anything, this would be a contrarian indicator for me. She is a wealth destroyer.
