ARKK

They should create an Elon Musk ETF. He has so many things going. If they can do one for Woods (ARKK) why not MUSK or ELON?? Has TSLA, Spacex, Starlink, brain thing I just read, water power system …..

I’m a lifetime ARKK bagholder 💼

jeopardy_loser

nah she's been smashing that buy button nonstop I'm pretty sure, it's the largest single holding in ARKK still last I looked

pareofdocks

He approves of her $2000 price target. Given that ARKK is down 8% over the last 5 years, Cathie being super bullish is not a good thing

PuzzleheadedOffer749

look at ARKK after hours, calls are about to print

PuzzleheadedOffer749

also, ARKK holds way more tesla

PuzzleheadedOffer749

i have 53.5 & 54 calls 4/26 but ARKK calls are so cheap i leaned more toward that

PuzzleheadedOffer749

inversing wsb, buying TSLA calls are insanely priced but ARKK will benefit highly if TSLA goes up, made a good profit on ARKK calls, will be buying more market open

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

ARKK up 3.3%

What do you think it’s like in the ARKK offices realizing they may be the worst performing fund ever?

Ornery_Brilliant_350

I loss harvest stocks I no longer want to own that are down. Like last year, I “harvested” ARKK

Red_or_Black1

ARKK with returns of -10% in 5 years in a raging bull market. Incredible.

animositisomina35

Cathie Wood and Ark Invest bought 122,752 more shares of Tesla today. [TSLA is now over 10% of ARKK](https://cathiesark.com/ark-combined-holdings-of-tsla).

As a longtime ARKK holder I'm pissed Cathie bought more TSLA

ARKK is like us but just loses money slower.

If your money is still with ARKK tbh you deserve it at this point, shes been public with her stupidity for years now

Cathie Wood is so good, she managed to beat the market because $ARKK was already down YTD before this weeks crash even happened

I'd definitely sell and go with someone who can be more consistent over time. Also, if I look at the portfolio of this fund, they really Cathie'd - there's a number of lower quality growth names (10% of the fund is in ROKU?) that did well in 2020 and then (like Cathie and ARKK) made the error of not selling. If you want tech, T Rowe Price's Global Tech fund OR Fidelity Technology. If you want flexible, GQG Quality US Growth or Global (Rajiv Jain is an excellent manager who does put a bit of emphasis on trying to protect downside over time and can massively reshuffle the fund if need be - went from tech focused in 2021 to energy and managed to lose very little while other peer funds were getting obliterated.) T Rowe's All Cap Opportunity is another one in this category, although somewhat less than the GQG options. Multi cap growth, I like Clearbridge Select. Very aggressive growth - Zevenbergen Genea

FatBastardIndustries

But her longer-term performance is less impressive. Wood’s flagship Ark Innovation ETF  (ARKK) , with $6.5 billion in assets, produced annualized returns of 10% for the past 12 months, negative 30% for the past three years and negative 1% for five years.

AP9384629344432

She's apparently been buying tons of Tesla in recent weeks/days. Believe it or not, even VXUS is outperforming ARKK over 5 years (by 18% total) and YTD (by 16% total), though is 7% behind on 1 year.

BRK vs ARKK....the [gif](https://substack.com/@amritaroy/note/c-54259006?r=23ti9i) is real.

TimeTravelingChris

Yeah, the volume on lower puts seems to be coming in steadily. Next week will be interesting. I big part of this week seems to be ARKK propping this up because CW loves to be wrong constantly.

ARKK looks like it’s about come down hard in the monthly timeframe

>VTI FXAIX makes up over 80% of the weight of VTI. >SCHD Roughly 46% of SCHD's holdings (by count, not weight) are in FXAIX. >VOO Is the same thing as FXAIX. >Im unsure of the strategy I should be taking when deciding between ETFs, and Indexs. * Index based or actively managed describes how the contents of a fund are chosen. * ETF or mutual fund describes how the fund trades.

ARKK innovating new ways to lose money

Ceyenne18

ultimate bag holder ... ARKK ROKU, SQ, PATH, CRSP, HOOD ..... Seriously, you can't get worse than CW even if you tried.

debian-root

if you use options, better to buy "calendar spreads" buying a long ITM 6 month put and selling 15 day OTM puts on SOXL, QQQ, ARKK, COIN. ANF, LLY, even if im bearish im long in AAPL, INTC , BABA and paypal. im also using bull call spreeds buying long calls ITM and selling OTM calls. "NEVER GO UNCOVER ON UR POSSITION EVEN IF U THINK UR CORRECT". AND GO GRADUALLY if u have 10K to short SPY buy 2K if it goes higher 2% buy 3k if it goes higher 2% buy 5K. if its stay flat you will make some money for the OTM put you sold. if it falls you will make money. always keep some cash 10%. same strategy for your calls, go gradually never all in. and always long/short when stocks are overvalue fundamentaly %60short/40% long, when stocks are undervalue %80long/20%short cuz at the end bulls make more money than bears.

Don't do ARKK unless you want to lose money. Why are you using an advisor if you can just split it into 4 things (% split depends on your risk tolerance): SPY or VOO, QQQ, KBWD for dividend, and something like AGG bond ETF.

ARKK has -3.75% 5y return, while SPY shows +76% for such period. You need to be braindead to give her your money

Who is buying TSLA and why is she the CEO of ARKK?

gotham_hunter

Made 3k this morning in 10 minutes playing HOOD; knew it would rise after such a dropoff just because of the ARKK drop. Now out for the day enjoy the green and red bars today!

Ok_Ad4353

I invested 30K and down to like 10K. but 2 decades ago, i did the same mistake with Janus 20, and it did recover like after 10 years when I sold it and it was even to the cost-basis. I am not going to lose sleep on this made woman Cathy. I was rolling the dice on ARKK and QQQ when ARKK was at max\_ceiling=$159, what a horrible twist of fate. But, at least its not FTX or a Ponzi. I knew i was getting into risk.

Isaac459

ARKK went up a ton. Don't actually buy this though please.

creemeeseason

Why stop there?! I have a scoop for you. On the London stock exchange there is a ticker......ARK3. Yes, it's not just ARKK... it's a 3x leveraged ARKK fund! For the low price of 75 basis points you can get 3x the ARKK! It's basically like 18% exposure to ROKU. I mean, you can't innovate your way out of that if you tried?

dvdmovie1

She was in the right investing place at the right investing time in 2020/21, had zero point zero awareness of that and doubled and tripled down all the way through 2022. In 2024, she still has a portfolio that looks largely made up of lower/low quality growth stories from 2020/21. ARK puts out still puts out bizarre nonsense like the 2022 $1,600 price target for Zoom and really, it's like everything else from Ark - it's all marketing/clickbait and gets people talking about Ark - for them apparently any attention (including, "what drugs were they on to make that price target?") is good attention. It's literally the investment version of that scene from "Blades of Glory": "No one knows what it means, but it's provocative" Morningstar called Ark the worst wealth destroying fund family of the last decade. IMO, why she still gets the attention she gets is baffling. https://www.morningstar.com/funds/15-funds-that-have-destroyed-most-wealth-over-past-decade John Hussman has been bearish since 2009 and I don't know how his fund still has 300M in AUM. On the other extreme, Cathie Wood has been bullish for years and yet with how badly she has done post being lucky in 2020/21, it's astonishing to me that there's still 7.8B in AUM at ARKK. Destroyed more wealth than any other fund manager, has a portfolio largely full of crap and yet, says hype-y nonsense and people throw more money at her. IMO, people are taking more risks in the market in recent years just to keep up, there is a palpable feeling that people are trying to "get rich quick" now more than ever and Cathie's marketing still manages to play to that despite how badly that fund has gone.

philodox

Didn't take anything out of the market. Increased our investment rates by nearly double knowing things would bounce back. DCA on the way down and on the way back up.  For a time reallocated some into ARKK and ARKW thinking it would bubble and pop (it did) and got lucky with the timing on both sides.  Allocated more to big tech, mostly MSFT and NVDA. Also got lucky there.  Nearly all has been shifted back to VTI except for about 30% still in MSFT/NVDA (need to rebalance).  Last 3 years beat S&P by 105%.  Due to continued investment and not taking anything out, along with lucky timing and bets we are doing ok. I wouldn't have done much differently except not taken the ARK ride. Too much daily checking of tickers and news, not good for my mental health even though we came out positive.  The big part is to not be fearful when everyone is. Stare it in the face and go harder. If it really is the end of the world then none of matters anyway lol. 

RustySoulja

I am not going to give you advice on where to put your money but I will tell you where not to. 3 years ago, I was in a similar situation as you. I wanted exposure to something that was more aggressive /risky and was recommended Cathie Woods ARK funds. It seemed like a no brainier at the time as $ARKK was at all times high in 2021. This turned out to be the biggest mistake of my investing career. Stay away from Cathie Wood and her ETF's. Good luck.

regarded-

People make investing out like it's this mysterious, arcane thing when it's not. Do you understand how well positioned Microsoft is to continue dominating the tech space into the next decade or more? Same with Amazon or anything else in QQQ/NDX. I respect that she's a fund manager and I see what she's trying to do but respectfully, am I really going to see a bigger return in ARKK than I will by simply investing into the Nasdaq and BTC? Lastly, can you read a balance sheet? Because buying genuinely good companies during downturns is how champions are born. ARKK is cool but I just don't believe in it so much that I would deviate from the course

wihaw44

I'm not convinced that $ARKK knows how to make a buck and keep it rolling in. They're about as consistent as a weather forecast in April! 

burntcookingpan

you know it's a bubble about to burst soon when people start talking about $ARKK again.

ryan7714

Question answered with a question. Well, look at ARKK. It got less expensive and kept going. Lots of stocks that were at highs in the last few years are under $10/share now. Peloton used to trade at $140+. It's cheap now, but I wouldn't touch it. The logic just isn't sound.

JRshoe1997

This used to be the golden child ETF on this sub back in 2021 before the bear market hit in 2022. People on here would call her “mama Cathie” and would recommend ARKK over other ETFs like VOO and VTI. How the mighty have fallen.

TechnicianExtreme200

Only at a very basic level, and she completely fails at understanding the economic value of tech trends, and connecting it to the right companies. During 2020-2021 she kept saying that the big tech companies were going to get massively "disintermediated" by a new breed of innovative companies and one shouldn't invest in them. 3-4 years later, those companies are all at or near all time highs and have vastly outperformed ARKK. She thought Zoom would be a multi hundred billion dollar company, when the major office suites have it built in. Same for TelaDoc, literally just Zoom for Doctors. She correctly predicted a boom in AI, but her big AI plays were Tesla and UIPath. Not Nvidia, not Microsoft for their stake in OpenAI, not Google who have been the most pioneering AI company for crying out loud and have multiple billion user business lines that benefit immensely from it.

animositisomina35

Anyone else attending the ARKK prayer circle tonight? I heard they are serving Flavor Aid.

TechnicianExtreme200

Many of them were ran up by HER. Like, they were such tiny companies that all the money flowing into ARKK pumped them up, so of course as soon the funds slowed down and Ark stopped buying as many shares the companies tanked. This is in the literal definition of a Ponzi scheme: "more and more new investors are needed to pay out the supposed profits being distributed to earlier investors". But it seems to be legal in this case, because the SEC doesn't prohibit a single fund from owning the majority of the publicly floated shares of a company.

Silent_Cress8310

ARK investments are mid-cap high-growth primarily, with a lot of speculative stuff. This entire sector got KILLED after the peak. Everything there is still massively down. It isn't the manager, it is the investment style and the period of time from after covid to about October of last year, I want to say? ARKK and others are not diversified investments. It is good for 5% or maybe 10% of an otherwise diversified portfolio. Or if you know how to play volatility, it is not bad. But it is HELLA volatile, more so that a lot of individual stocks. Probably a good risk-on investment at this point, since that sector has not yet recovered (but has partially recovered). If you aren't comfortable with the volatility, slowly sell out until you reach a level you are comfortable with. 10%. 5%. 2%. 1%. 0%. Whatever floats your boat. If you own stuff that keeps you awake at night, it isn't worth it.

Rjlv6

I agree with you but I think the Fed manipulating rates so people take on more risk is the problem. Take OP's post for example there's no rational analysis of the fundamentals of ARKK. Look at the crap that got a massive influx of investor capital when rates were cut. Terrible companies, with bad management and atrocious governance, benefited enormously from loose investor capital and an expansion in credit. Nikola and the overall SPAC craze is an obvious example. It's undesirable and having low rates causes this stuff to work in the short term. Thus leading to a reinforcing cycle that bids up asset prices to levels that are completely disconnected from reality.

Samsids

Just don’t. I invested into the ARKK ETF from 2020-2022. Still down 50% even though we are in a raging bull market. That’s how bad Cathie and her funds are. If you can’t make money in this market, what do you think the price action will look like when the market will take a plunge?

Radically_Bland

You want a good laugh, hop on Morningstar and read their opinion on the ARKK management.

MyLifeFrAiur

tsla carried ARKK hard through the pandemic, just invest individual stocks you believe in instead of what she's picking for you

mycatlikesluffas

She got lucky during the bull market of bull markets, fed by FED 'o bucks. I don't think $ARKK has demonstrated a capacity for consistent profitability.

Sumif

Dang you held? I put about 20k into it. Lost half before I bailed out. Since then I put it into NVDA AAPL. Apple been flat but NVDA has made up all the gains lost. Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses. ARKK was in a a lot of unprofitable companies, and when rates started going up I was like “nah this ain’t good”

This piece is confusing active managed funds with low cost index fund It has nothing to do with the fund structure being a MF or ETF There are active managed higher cost ETFS (ARKK being an example) there are low cost passive index mutual funds

It is before the pandemic. During 2020 I doubled my money by just buying ARKK. For the last two years it's been value stocks in Japan, and Korea

creemeeseason

Yeah, I had to stop dunking on ARKK at some point though. I mean the list is massive. I tried to go with the oil and coal names for maximum old economy effect. CEIX isn't even met coal. They mine thermal coal. Not even trying to exclude tech names from the list, more to point out how bad ARKK has been at stock picking.

creemeeseason

5 year returns on various names.... ARKK- 7.06% DIS- 8.023% ARKW- 61.05% VOO- 83.6% (plus dividends) CEIX- 135% QQQ- 146% CNQ-173% (plus dividends) AMR- 443% I'm starting to think there's more to good business and stock picking than 'innovation'. Also an interesting note for the day, the S&P500 currently has an earnings yield of 4.295%. The 10 year treasury is sitting at 4.22%. There is essentially a 0% risk premium in the S&P500 right now. I'm not predicting anything from that, and I know the arguments about why P/E is a poor metric for that index. For reference the earnings yield of RSP (equal weight index) is about 4.72%, so there is a bit of a risk premium there.

RhettOracle

ARKQ is similar, ARKK avg 12.23% and the one you called out is avg 26.24% since 09/2022 It's ridiculous to compare these to QQQ, that's not their intended use.

animositisomina35

I'll ask her at the next ARKK prayer circle.

It's kinda interesting that I usually rarely get angry responses from people on this sub, but the rare exceptions are: - Saying that the economy is good - Shitting on ARKK

Fuck RDDT. Been selling cc’s on ARKK biweekly.

WSB was super hyped about ARKK for a long time, then when it blew up they all pretend they were never on that train. Everyone said buy puts but when it went up day 1 they decided to buy calls on Monday and here we are.

keto_brain

I linked the wrong sub you want r/bogleheads. Anyway, time in the market beats timing the market. You could be a stock genius and make 50% YoY returns but the chances of that happening are slim to none. Buying index funds in 9 out of 10 cases out performs hedge funds. Let's do a little comparison. Cathie Wood was some stock "genius". If we look at ARKK over the last 5 years it's gained 5.74%. If we look at VTI over the last 5 years it's gained 78.63%. I'd hardly call 78.63% conservative.

Altruistic-Sense-593

Cathie Wood fumbling TSLA and ARKK, bitch u should be at least 10x if u just held

EmbarrassedKick2219

Thats ARKK lol

zordonbyrd

You probably should. But do so wisely. Understand the dynamics. ARKK for example is a very poor performing actively-managed fund. I’d recommend: BUG/IHAK for cybersecurity XSD/SMH/SOXX for semiconductors IHI for medical devices/medtech FTEC for broad tech obviously the QQQ is a good catch-all ICLN if you’re feelin lucky but I think it’s pretty risky, less so down here Just understand that there will be huge drawdowns in all of these. Also maybe don’t buy peak enthusiasm like now.

Solid_Illustrator640

ETFs are not riskier than mutual funds unless you choose dumb shit like ARKK. Just by VOO or whatever the equivalent in your country is

ResponsibleBadger888

Same for me! I literally was on the fence about buying at IPO and had set up my account to purchase shares but then started getting cold feet last week. Honestly, with the amount of negativity I saw on Reddit about the stock offering, I thought it guaranteed a sure thing. I honestly have only lost money on stocks when I listened to people on Reddit. ARKK and PLTR to name a few. Sure, RDDT might lose some in the long run, but it's such a small percent of my investment, I thought it couldn't hurt.
