ARKK

joe-re

I call bullsh*t as well. Article mentions retail pours $5b into the market on dip-days. Market cap of SP500 is $50t, so big announcement days loss is upwards of $1t. $5b to hold it up isn't gonna move the needle. Articles that talk about market relevance by stating ARKK movement ($5b) or GME ($11b) is dubious when a gambling stock like TSLA moves upwards of $50b on a regular Tuesday. That doesn't look like retail alone.

This market is more ghey than Cathie Wood reading poetry to ARKK

taffy_laffy

cathie was interviewed and said she doesn't see a recession coming, she seems a huge boom and rally. this woman gets literal millions managing peoples money. her ARKK investors have lost money over 5 years while every stock 5-20x'd from 2023-2025. lmao

ARKK puts free money

ITCHYisSylar

Totally.  The Tesla hate is as pathetic is the ARKK love years ago, and the oil stocks hate before those shot up.

I can almost guarantee you that Jim Cramer's past 5 year return is better than Ark Innovation ETF. I was right, on May 5 2020 to May 5 2025 Ark innovation has lost 0.92% over those five years. Considering you can get over 3% in a high yield savings account per year I consider anything less than 16% return over 5 years to be pure failure. If you put $100,000 into ARKK you would have lost $920, but if you kept your money safe in the bank you would have made at least $15,000 (these examples don't take fees and taxes into account). The VOO etf in that same timeframe of March 3 2020, to March 3, 2025 has made a gain of 100.41% as per comparison on Google Finance charts. To summarize the fastest growing stock market in decades and Cathie Wood could not turn a profit over 5 years! How embarrassing for a so-called professional. I consider myself the average investor, and even I have beat her return. If Jim Cramer had an etf it would most likely be doing better than ARKK is now.

Oh yea, that’s true. Real estate has been through a straight depression and if interest rates fall, I think they’ll stage a comeback. I’m not waiting for better guidance. By then it’ll be too late. I’m trading on the technicals and back to the basics as to what has led this rally since 2022. I think the ARKK themes will be front and center in the near future and the correction over the last month was the bottom for innovation based stocks. Tech is back on the menu for me. The speed at which things are changing is just wild. Never has been so fast. What a time to be alive.

Onessip

I'm late to the party, but it should be said, ARKK has not beaten the market. to date (5/1/2025) SPY (true returns with dividends) is up 232% while ARKK is up 175% (since inception which was 10/31/2014), and this has been true for a couple of years.

Soon to be a major portion of the ARKK ETF

onewonyuan

ARKK is a fantastic place to put your money if you’re looking for long-term destruction of capital.

nutslikeafox

Is this a retard meet up? ARKK is an etf but it's not an index fund it doesn't track anything its actively managed.

AltRumination

First, I don't know much about it, but it does look like ARKK is an ETF or index. Second, do you have many friends?

nutslikeafox

ARKK isn't an index fund you dimwit never post here again unless it's asking questions because you don't know shit

Index funds absolutely can lose in the long run, it depends on what the fund is invested in. Check out ARKK

Noble_Bastard

ARKK down -28.58% YTD. Cathie gives me a laugh everytime. 

Orfgorf

She's not wrong, ARKK is a fund that requires low interest rates to prop up growth. Not her fault inflation has necessitated high rates. If you anticipate rates lowering, it's an easy way to gain growth exposure.

Conscious_String_195

If you want to ratchet it up, there is a 2 X inverse of ARKK, which is run by Cathy Wood, and is one of the worst tech funds by quintile over all time periods. TSLS is 1 x inverse of Tesla.

ITCHYisSylar

Just means you got schooled.  You paid for school.  I paid for school buying a bunch of ARKK in 2021 listening to the trend.  I so paid for school by not investing in 2009 and onward for 5 years. We all make mistakes.  The important thing is we learn from it and be wiser.

Vega10000

I have a watchlist of 94 stocks and indices. Only two closed red yesterday. VIX and ARKK

Fenderstratguy

Look at the ARKK funds - many down 80% from their all time highs. Now being 80% down, you have to decide to hold and hope for a recovery, or just sell and move on to something else with a better chance of growth. There is a lost opportunity cost with not selling the stinker of a stock/fund.

Gnarwall9000

Haven’t seen an ARKK suggestion in a while. For good reason

MediocreAd9763

You can do something simple as put it all into SPY or QQQ even VOO. Or you can buy tech ETFs like ARKK or FNGA. Buy and hold as long as possible. All robot AI run factories are the next step in this process. Of course, once they have us outnumbered will be in trouble. But that’s not for awhile:)

churnAmex

ARKK will reverse split soon 

karamkka

For a fucking ‘future looking’ ETF, how the fuck is ARKK the same price it was in 2018? Who buys that dogshit?

turtleturtlerandy

Just looked at some old transactions and apparently I bought some ARKK at at 1.5% below it's ATH(156.62 vs 159.70). Luckily my cost basis was fairly decent and I ended up with only a 10% loss.

95Daphne

Inflation and rate hikes. If you weren't heavy into tech or ARKK style and had a fair amount of oil, you were probably fine, but 2022 was flat misery until mid-October for most stocks ex-oil even if it wasn't as bad as it got for speculation, and then it was bad for the full year for tech, even quality tech. Some stuff really didn't even recover from then. In hindsight, small caps getting punched back badly at an ATH late in 2024 was a giant warning.

kk7766

if anyone wants to time the bottom of the market just wait for the day $ARKK is delisted

ARKK should be tits up after what tariff man did. Cathy Woods should go pray some more and see if her god will bless her with more dumb shit to say and more marks to sell to

princemousey1

We have no idea what you’re buying, why you didn’t buy continually, and what even your point is. Maybe take a look at the price of ARKK.

ExpressEngineering83

Y’all really forgot Cathie Wood jammed 5% of ARKK into Robinhood last week.

kylestoned

>Cathie Wood bought like $25 million recently (Now holds 5% of ARKK’s holdings oof.

ExpressEngineering83

YOLO UPDATE WITH MY DD (I was banned for failing a ban bet and I just got unbanned): Last week’s gold event: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdFjAhDP3sM&ab\_channel=Robinhood](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdFjAhDP3sM&ab_channel=Robinhood) I am also predicting we have a face-ripping rally on liberation day because no one gives a fuck about tariffs. This is all about selling the rumor and buying the news so we all have certainty. TLDR: IMO Robinhood is the best stock on the market right now with a great business model and the best team and has the most upside potential, even during a market downturn. They had 1.5 million gold subscribers at $5/month last year. Now MORE THAN DOUBLED TO 3.2 MILLION. Robinhood has the potential to become the next trillion-dollar company. Everyone is always looking for the next stock that will have NVDA or TSLA-like growth and I have good reason to believe that Robinhood is the one. Literally a 30-bagger since they’re at $37 billion, which is NOTHING. For example, about $1 trillion flew out of Nvidia in like a month and Robinhood only needs around $55 billion more to reach $100/share. They actually have a good business model leading the great leap forward in transforming finance with a CEO that is already mainstream. Man is on CNBC last week: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpoKCzJVrU0&ab\_channel=CNBCTelevision](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpoKCzJVrU0&ab_channel=CNBCTelevision) They are going to smash earnings again IMO. Been taking money hand over fist. They already smashed earnings last quarter. I’d say that inclusion into the S&P 500 is on the horizon. They just missed it last quarter but I see no reason why they can’t be in this quarter with a lot of stocks tanking. And we all know what happened when TSLA was put into the S&P 500 with a similarly well-known CEO known as the Elongated Muskrat. ROCKET EMOJI. Robinhood is overhauling everything with their services, including the use of AI. That’s right. The AI buzzword. They cap their fees at $250/year for investment advisor systems. Cash delivery? Bruh I’m never going to an ATM again: [https://robinhood.com/us/en/banking/](https://robinhood.com/us/en/banking/) They have 12 partner banks so FDIC insurance is $2.5 million with them instead of $250,000: [https://robinhood.com/us/en/gold/](https://robinhood.com/us/en/gold/) Robinhood is now VENMO/Apple Pay. You can send money to people instantly: [https://robinhood.com/us/en/banking/](https://robinhood.com/us/en/banking/) Robinhood makes money on everything. Options, crypto, and now even straight-up gambling with prediction markets. Even in a terrible market they still make money on fees and subscriptions. I don't really care about any litigation involving prediction markets and I don't think anyone else does either. Gambling always wins. Cathie Wood bought like $25 million recently (Now holds 5% of ARKK’s holdings, TSLA is 11% for reference) and it was given a price target of $105 last week: [https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/bernstein-maintains-robinhood-outperform-rating-105-target-93CH-3951578](https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/bernstein-maintains-robinhood-outperform-rating-105-target-93CH-3951578) IRA contribution and 401k transfer match is literally a money magnet. People will live their entire financial lives through Robinhood. They have high-yield interest rates on uninvested cash and have a debit card. Kind of like how people use WeChat for everything. They also have a credit card with 3% cash back on EVERYTHING (best on the market from what I’ve seen) = more money. Great Wealth Transfer putting trillions of dollars in Millennials and Gen Z hands, going straight to RH for gambling, and especially on this sub. Robinhood is honestly like a 7x leveraged SPY imo. Every time SPY is up 1% Robinhood is up 7%, and vice versa. SPY really only needs to go to 570 for HOOD to go to $50 from $42. $50 by the end of the week bc we will get the clarity from the big dude tomorrow and JPOW on Friday I think. Easy to use platform. Probably some more stuff I missed but in this shit hole of a market this is the stock I choose. Robinhood, I CHOOSE YOU! Edit: I read all the comments and there are a shocking amount of people who will also donate to good causes if HOOD goes to $100 by the end of June. We are either going to do a lot of good or go back to nothing. Nice to see kind souls on here. I’ll probably still donate some money if it doesn’t hit $100. Charity mission lol.

So is there an easy to spot/apply forumla for figuring out what pricepoint a leveraged etf will be at when its dependency is at N? For instance, Tsla and tslq? or SARK/ARKK?

ARKK having a .75% expense ratio is hilarious

Plastic-Scientist739

I am not listening to Kathie Wood and her ARKK advice, but I could see Musk's delivering on revolutionary instead of just evolutionary with his products. Agreed that it will move sideways for a while with volatility. Bill Gates is expecting people's jobs to be replaced with automation and AI in the next 5 years. If that happens, I don't know what to expect of the future world economies with people employed. I need to make more in the market now.

If you're solely doing research and want a shortcut to a list of stocks that touch upon these innovative sectors, take a look at ARKK's holdings. I know, I know. Cathie Woods has not business predicting the future. I never did and will never invest in any of her funds. But her team of analysts do a lot of heavy lifting for you and this is a good starting place for research. [https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk#hold](https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk#hold)

ITCHYisSylar

Yep.  Going to shit. Just like oil stocks summer of 2020, and everyone on here saying they were done.  Or how SP500 was becoming outdated and ARKK was the future. Keep on thinking that.  You might be right.  But also gotta factor in non Tesla cars using tesla chargers, home solar and power installs, tesla humanoid robots, etc.   I don't buy single stocks, but I'm not shorting tesla either.   Honestly, if people keep shitting on tesla here from the trend, I might throw a few grand on them.

tbf, Burry also shorted TSLA and ARKK...he was just too early, so in my books, he predicted both subprime and the upcoming tsla meltdown

sunriseRob78

madmed1988

You started your comparison at the all time high of ARKK...

BreathAether

I think ark does a good job at creating ETFs made up of companies estimated to be disruptive and innovative. a lot of people shit on them for getting rekt in 2022 but their methodology still makes sense. their lack of performance is similar to how fundamental investors missed out on gains from "overvalued" companies despite the logic and intuition behind their methodology. there's always the chance that such investors are wrong now and might be right later. the papers I read about 10 baggers over the past decade show that these were mostly small caps but the majority of the companies in the stock market are quite small, so your odds are quite low in picking the correct 10 baggers. combining the above, my low effort attempt at finding 10 baggers would be to invest in sub 10B market cap companies in ARKK and have those be a small allocation in my portfolio, the lotto ticket portion of it. that way, I at least have a decent chance at getting lucky without investing too much time and money into it. the rest of my portfolio would be allocated to other, hopefully less correlated strategies/assets.

DoinIt4DaShorteez

I'd ditch ARKK and split it between QQQ and SCHG, but for $34.50/mo, who cares, why not, maybe you'll get lucky.

chopsui101

Agreed drop ARKK.  Nothing really against woods but she’s a bit of a one trick pony and the shine as rubbed off her investing style.  I think if you want to invest in next gen tech then there cheaper etfs that do it

IronyElSupremo

May be a bit repetitive so run fund overlay on JEPQ and SCHD .. maybe ARCC. There will be some overlay between WQQ and SCHG (Lg Cap Grow), but the latter will contain banks-financials that QQQ doesn’t list/possibly REITS, so run it through overlay to see what you’re getting. More a you call it if you want to reduce financials in the large growth arena. Probably go with a tech index vs actively owned ARKK. Also run O through overlay to see what REIT exposure the non-QQQ ETFs have.

ButterPotatoHead

ARKK is somewhere between a meme stock/ETF and a scam I would not invest one dollar there. You have plenty of exposure to tech via QQQ. I'd replace that with an S&P ETF.

GweenRoll

to be perfectly honest OP, most of these ETFs are completely pointless. I mean ARKK is the worst offender, but unless you have a tax advantage with dividends which you probably do not, SCHD, SCHG, JEPQ are all concentrating on an irrelevant factor. What you have to understand is that by investing in some of these ETFs you are taking on risk, but your expected returns are not higher. That is a tragedy to an investor and the dream to a gambler. Investors, if they are more risk tolerant, should take on compensated risk only. That is risk that you take that increases your expected return. 0. If you are interested in a simple portfolio that only takes on market risk, then just VT and chill. 1. If you are prepared and believe yourself to be risk tolerant, it might be worth adding a small cap value ETF to your portfolio, not just small cap. I believe Avantis and DFA have funds that accomplish this goal. 2. If you believe that you are even more risk tolerant, then leverage the portfolio up to 1.5X to 2X. 1 and 2 are very risky, don't get me wrong. But the risk is atleast compensated with higher expected return. I would recommend simply to go with 0. On the other hand, your current portfolio has a lot of uncompensated risk. Please remember that diversification is your friend, and increases your risk adjusted return. It's called the only free lunch for a reason.

dvdmovie1

Defnitely no to ARKK. If you have a long-term time horizon, no to O/ARCC.

95Daphne

Yeah, 2022 was all around bad outside of the oil sector, it just ended in October if it wasn’t a tech or speculative stock. It really was brutal all around. If you don’t hyper focus on things, you’d definitely have forgotten it though even if many things weren’t able to recover (ahem, ARKK, and IWM got punched back brutally right at its record high in late Nov last year), because it’s stuff not connected to the large cap indexes that didn’t recover.

wrb7271

I'm retired so I have the time to keep a close watch on the market. I sold all my long positions about a month ago. I play with a little bit of $, buying inverse funds such as MSTZ (2X short MSTR), TSLZ (2X short tesla) and SARK (@x short ARKK). I typically do not hold them more than a day or so. I do not recommend this strategy for you but what you might consider is my longer-term strategy. The QQQ has broken the 200-day MA on the downside. When it breaks back though the 200 day MA on the upside and stays there for a week or so I will get back in. Today is a bad day to sell but when we have a rally, (probably tomorrow) you could sell, and wait for the QQQ to break above the 200 DMA.

95Daphne

This is more damaging than the July move was by the Nasdaq, even if it just barely hit correction territory. It's more damaging because pretty much everything that can drive the index higher has dropped at least 15%. There's been a ton of technical damage. Alongside this (although it's not quite as important), you're not off to a good start on the fun names on them not replaying the way things went in 2021 (ARKK topped essentially the same week it topped in February of that year, while it might not be perfect, I think it's a decent indicator still). The Nasdaq might still get out of this relatively unscathed (although I'm skeptical because semis haven't traded well for several months, it's going to need SMH closing over $260 and pushing further to resume its rally), but there are many folks that are going to get f---ed over anyway due to the fun stock rally ending in mid-February.

Ill_End_8015

Use inverse ETF’s. I just loaded up on SARK which bets against all the bullshit that Cathy Wood holds in ARKK. It’s leveraged so it isn’t suitable to hold long term but with all the dumb shit coming from the White House in the last 6 weeks it seems to stand a good chance of paying off Not financial advice

95Daphne

Probably a very good chance it's a version of a 2025 stock that is like what we saw with the implosions that occurred in 2021. Not a fun realization here, but we really are not off to a good start at "all" involving the ARKK style stocks (which RDDT very much would be one of) on them not repeating what was seen in 2021 (ARKK has come very close to replaying the decline it had after mid Feb in 2021). To make it even more fun, the major averages aren't strong this time to boot, and it is all around honestly, it's not just tech.

Yeah, the semiconductor index topped in July last year, and we're still not willing to chit chat about it, even as the Nasdaq has hit correction territory again with it honestly looking in more trouble than it did in July, although it hasn't gotten quite as bad. As a reminder, the fun stocks after Biden's election topped in 2021 in mid-February. We're not off to a good start with ARKK style stocks on it breaking tendency on the similarities and the major indices look weaker than they did with 2021, with breadth having collapsed.

tribbans95

My bad man haha didn’t mean to ignore ya. I only threw in $200 like a month ago and actually having a killer run to $4000 starting there but it’s risky af to start because you have to start with cheap options that are very close to expiration. XLE has a good options chain and they’re not too expensive. I just looked at them now though and it’s all out of wack. it’s the same thing as XLV and it just gets messed up over the weekend because people take their bids out I guess. But I know during the week there’s solid volume like the first OTM 3/7 call had 180 volume and 466 open interest on Friday whereas XLV closest OTM 3/7 call on Friday was 15 volume, 15 open interest. INTC has reasonably priced options with lots of volume. ARKK has good volume options but they don’t move a ton so I don’t really trade it. TLT has a ton of volume and pretty cheap options. XLF is has a good options chain. EEM looks decent but I’ve never traded it. Most importantly though, don’t risk $1000 if you can’t afford to lose it. All the ones I listed, you should be able to start smaller than that
