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?

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
It's the same with whatever's run up a gazillion percent, this sub only wants to buy at the top of the parabola. ARKK/TSLA, corn/MSTR, SLV/GLD, and now semiconductors. Sometimes it works out like with NVDA and memory -- so far. But fomo usually makes more people feel regret than not
I remember there was a reddit user who commented to every ARKK post his holdings and that he is adding more. Wonder how he is doing now…
Same Reason people buy $ARKK instead of $QQQM. Exact same reason. The reason is people wanted to rich overnight.
Cathie Wood's ARKK is green YTD, this is how you know shits fucked
Up 450% in what? Certainly not ARKK.
No, it's more crazy how people think this. Softbank is near all time highs. They are doing incredible. Made massive gains on ARM and OAI this year. Genuinely, I'm curious why people think this? Is it from the WeWork debacle? Are you confusing Softbank with ARKK? Lol
"for evaluating whether a stock is worth holding for 5 or 10 years" I invested in Trade Desk in 2018 because I thought it was a compelling story lead by a founder who was fantastic at leading people through the story every quarter. For a period of time, the stock could do no wrong: felt like quarter after quarter it would be up 10-20-30% after earnings. Sold in 2021 after doing very well and wanting to reduce growth exposure. Returned to it at times in 2023-24 as a trade, but never "stuck" in the manner it once did as I became concerned that the story wasn't what it once was and stopped trading it. 2025 it became abdundantly clear that the story had deteriorated considerably, starting with the CEO selling a massive amount of stock in January and the stock being down about 80% since (and another -14% pre-market after earnings yesterday.) I think there are increasingly few things that are 5-10 year holdings today aside from businesses where there's high moats/continual need and very little risk of disruption (WM, for example.) I've owned NVDA for several years through ups and downs given continued confidence in Jensen and the view that he was the best CEO in tech, but even that I've reduced over the last year or so. Probably won't sell it entirely as long as he's CEO but it became prudent to take some off the table. An issue I have is sustainability. We have gone through 5-6 years now where people get all excited about a theme and then even the worst, shittiest thing is pulled up for a period by excitement over the theme. Is the theme's growth sustainable? If you look at ARKK and Cathie Wood in 2020/21, her success in large part was being in the right investment place at the right investment time. A lot of things can be a *temporarily* exciting business, but "exciting and very potentially great *long-term* businesses" are rarer. Cathie thought in 2020/21 that "this time is different" and all her holdings were the future. When markets cratered in 2022, she continued to sell people on all her holdings. A year or two after, the Ark funds took about 21 billion in realized losses on things that should have been sold in 2021.
Parts of tech going absolutely nuts and ARKK +1.6% YTD lol.
Funny. I opened a position in $BRK-B today for the 1st time in my life this morning. The AI circle jerk tech bros sound just like the Cathie Wood $ARKK bros shitting on Berkshire in 2021. I would say inverse reddit. Trying to inverse reddit inversing reddit sounds too much like those 4-D chess DJT fans that are just being difficult trying to justify their bad decisions : )
I'm very underweight US stocks choosing to invest heavily in World Ex-US, Japan, South Korea, and Gold instead of the USA due to this AI circle jerk bubble. But I had some cash today due to dividends and also selling $XLE yesterday so I decided to buy the most shitted on US ETF here in $BERK-B. The last time Berkshire had so many negative comments here was right before the top in all those Cathie Wood $ARKK etf's Reddit loved so much. I tend to believe that MAYBE the people at Berkshire Hathaway are smarter than the people on Reddit.
SOXX reminds me of ARKK in 2021 with random +5% days. Ended up losing a lot of money on that.
Interested in buying some ARKK? Cathie Wood is mommy.
Unbelievable. Please don’t be another ARKK. Please God.
"- salesforce -16" No. People piling into it because of this narrative that "software is going to zero because of ai" but nobody cared when it had a similar decline in 2021-2022, and nobody talking about it now seems that interested in the actual business (and before recently, it was rarely a topic on here), just saying that they're buying the dip. " soundhound -2" What is the moat? This feels like the kind of thing that ARKK buys and will still be left holding when the cycle turns. " snap -43" If someone can actually turn it around/it gets in better hands then maybe but that's a lotto ticket bet not a major position. "teladoc" I 5x'd LVGO before they were bought by TDOC for $18B. TDOC is now worth $1B. Why is this on the list? Too much tech and not the right tech.
Ah so ARKK offloads more AMD and it... jumps, fucking lol
Why ARKK is doing meh? Cathy didn't ape into any AI stock?
So basically the market is an index fund LARP for “buy NVDA and friends.” This is 2021 ARKK vibes but with actual earnings this time, which is somehow even more dangerous because boomers think it is safe. I am long the bubble, short my sanity, and fully prepared to get obliterated when breadth finally matters again.
ARKK is down. But ARKK also outperforms BRK since the former’s inception
ARKK has substantially outperformed BRK the last 3 years
Buying ARKK is like throwing money in the ocean, you never know what day of the month the big wave 🌊will come.
Im looking through ARKK’s holdings break down just to really soak it in. I actually did lose money on it back in 2021, would have been cool if I had taken profits but I didn’t. The only ETF I’ve ever seen that lost money over a 3 years period.
Volatility gamblers: ARKK Annual Total Returns (NAV) * 2025: +35.49% * 2024: +8.40% * 2023: +67.64% * 2022: -66.97% * 2021: -23.38% * 2020: +152.82% * 2019: +35.58% * 2018: +3.51% * 2017: +87.34% * 2016: -2.00%
The fundamentals you're considering are solid - ARKVX does give you exposure to private unicorns that you genuinely can't access otherwise. The SpaceX and OpenAI angle is real. But the structure deserves scrutiny: - **Liquidity risk**: ARKVX is an interval fund - you can only redeem quarterly, and redemptions can be limited if too many investors try to exit at once. This is very different from ETF liquidity - **Valuation opacity**: Private company valuations are marks, not market prices. ARK sets them based on models, not trades. In a downturn, these marks can lag reality significantly - **Fee load**: Expense ratios on interval funds like this tend to be high. Check the exact fee structure carefully - management fees plus expenses can run 2-3%+ - **ARK's track record post-2021**: ARKK dropped ~75% from peak and has had significant outflows. Worth considering whether their private company selection will be better than their public stock picks The underlying assets (SpaceX, Anthropic) are legitimately interesting. The question is whether this specific vehicle is the right way to access them, at this fee, with these liquidity constraints. Are there secondaries markets alternatives you've looked at (like Hiive or Forge) for more direct private company exposure?
Ehh, I have my reasoning for saying 2021 here. I still think many of the names that benefitted from Trump being elected are now toast, this thesis gets tossed if ARKK passes its fall highs tho.
Lost $8k on ARKK and ARKG
I don't own Berkshire but the whole idea of a diversified fund is to not get too high or too low on market swings. You're more than welcome to own $ARKK or $QQQ. They look great when tech is popping. They didn't look so great from Jan-March 31st vs nearly every other ETF. You have to take the good w/ the bad in life.
Cathoe Woods is one of the worst investors of all time, just look at the all time chart of ARKK
I remember in 21 a guy that had a "Road to 1M" going. He was heavy in ARKK, lol. Meanwhile I was shorting it in late 21.
Starting on January 1, 2019, Cathie Wood's ARKK was once beating the NASDAQ QQQ by more than 100%. Now, she's underperforming it by -210% (think about that swing) and has destroyed more than $13 billion in investor capital.
A lot of hate comments here, but ARKVX is up more than double in the past 2 years. It seems a lot of people remember the growth stock drop of 2022-2023 and presume that remains the case. Even with ARKK, look at the 5 year chart. Yes, big drop off from peak in 2022 to bottom of 2023. But then look at bottom of 2023 or 2024 to current, and it is up more than double.
Straight to the trash with you talking macro fundamentals unfortunately. I'd expect for vibes to probably win out overall until you see Trump exit office and then all bets may be off. For real though, we might be back to the 2021 like situation where ARKK style/software has set THEIR top, but the Nasdaq manages to find a way with diminishing returns breadth wise for a year before all hell breaks loose later on.
ARKK is actually retarded
I looked at ARKK stock and I just realized it's still down 45% from 5 years ago... Oh Cathie..
Anyone here trading stocks or even just investing should ask themselves if 2026 is analogous to 2022. The economy is weaker than 2022, therefore inflation shouldn’t spike to 10% like 2022, but this time the US is directly involved in war. 2022 made it very clear that avoiding losses in an inflationary environment is difficult, to say the least. Oil went from $120 to $70 by December. Tech down 40%. Smallcaps down 45%. Banks got hammered. ARKK trash down 60%. Oh and gold? Down 15%. Fed rate hikes coupled with inflation spikes = pain.
> garbage like ARKK ARKK past 5 years: -43% Cathie is a prime example of the kind of mentality that I've seen more and more of since covid - "I'm not wrong, the market must be wrong". Talks her book all the way up in 2020/21, keeps the same thing all the way down while going on CNBC talking about how great her names are and what good deals they are, never entertains for a moment the possibility that maybe her 2020/21 playbook stopped working in 2021/she happened to be in the "right investing place at the right investing time", gives back all the gains and eventually takes a nearly $22B realized loss across the entire fund family, including at least a name or two that were 0's. Does she admit she was wrong after taking massive losses? Of course not, she goes on twitter and posts (which she later deleted) about how those enormous losses are a good thing. I totally should have bought SARK earlier this year.
Energy longs + inverse ETFs on garbage like ARKK and quantum stocks have been working well. Glad the market is starting to ignore the fake TACO attempts to pump the market.
**Long-term investment portfolio, age 30, budget $150k** 1. VOO – 40% 2. QQQ – 20% 3. GLD – 10% 4. BSV – 5% 5. VGIT – 3% 6. TLT – 2% 7. FTGC – 10% 8. SPMO – 5% 9. ARKK – 5% Now, let me explain why I designed it this way: 1. VOO is a fund that invests in the S&P 500 index. 2. QQQ is the Nasdaq-100 index fund. 3. GLD is a gold fund. 4. BSV is a short-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 5. VGIT is an intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 6. TLT is a long-term U.S. Treasury bond fund. 7. FTGC is a commodities fund (aluminum, iron, steel, copper, barley, wheat, palladium, platinum, and more). 8. SPMO is a momentum stock fund. 9. ARKK is a technology fund.

ARKK was the dogs bollocks back then, if I wasn't a broke student I would have drained my account into ARKK
I remember people talking about dumping all their retirement into ARKK because a) it's an ETF b) Kathy is an all knowing God, and c) it's all tech and innovation. I wonder what happened to all those people.
Seeing ARKK just gave me PTSD
Tough time in the market but on the bright side, I'm only down -2% YTD which comparatively isn't too bad. By comparison: * QQQ: -5% * XLK: -6.3% * IVES: -8.8% * GRNY: -4.6% * ARKK: -11%
Next bull market is when ARKK is under 50
For what it's worth, while it's easy to laugh at him, Cathie Wood's ARKK is still down nearly 43% in 5 years while MSTR is up over 100% in that time, a bit better than QQQ over that time. She's worth a quarter of a billion dollars from being right once more or less.
ARKK, you'll get tired of winning.
This is the $ARKK etf
Will be pretty surprised personally if there isn't some kind of negative response by the majors to what's happened to ARKK style again, but that negative response may just be saved for 2027 at this point considering the factors I see (markets are very hedged and for whatever reason VIX cannot get over 22ish). It'll either be saved for 2027 and you'll get something that is sort of like a mini-2022, or we may do 2015 and have a vol spike and sort of mini-crash again.
Cathie Wood in a nutshell. Literally happened to pick the right stuff at the right time once (mostly TSLA), rode it into the ground, and while all the sort of stuff that would make up ARKK has mostly recovered to ATH or not far off and QQQ is up nearly 100% in 5 years, ARKK is down 44% in 5 years. Why tf anyone listens to her anymore is beyond me.
1. Yes, if you want minimum headache with solid returns, just keep investing into the S&P 500. It has shown strong results over the last few decades and will most likely continue. Of course, nobody can guarantee that — it's possible that America gets pushed off the pedestal as the leading economy, and as a result the S&P becomes less relevant while other countries and indices outperform. But realistically, predictions like that are nearly impossible to make. 2. As for growth ETFs and individual stocks — it helps to think of it as a risk scale. If we're only talking about stocks, here's roughly how it breaks down from least to most risky: 1. Global ETFs (VT, VXUS) - widest diversification across countries, continents, and sectors 2. Broad market ETFs (VOO, SPY, IVV) - S&P 500 and similar, strong track record 3. Sector/narrow ETFs (QQQ, ARKK, SOXX) - more growth potential, but more volatile 4. Individual stocks - closest thing to a casino. Nobody can guarantee with 100% certainty that a company won't change direction, replace its CEO, or run into unexpected problems. The general rule: the younger you are, the more it makes sense to lean toward the riskier end of this scale. If those bets pay off — great. If not, you still have decades until retirement to recover. But the higher the potential growth, the higher the risk. That tradeoff is always there. The good news is you don't have to pick just one. You can combine them — keep the S&P 500 as your core and add a smaller allocation to something more aggressive. The key is deciding how much risk you're actually comfortable with.
