that's completely correct. $ARK was killing it entirely in 2020-2021 because of $TSLA but it also got fucking crushed when tsla finally "crashed"

She's made some shit choices for sure, but ARK had like a 35%, YTD return in 2025. I'm reading another article right now on yahoo finance. Goldman Sachs added avgo to their 2026 conviction list with a target of $450/share.

Check out all the ARK etfs from Cathie Wood and think very carefully before you buy it. Very carefully.

tldr; Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, suggests the U.S. government may eventually buy Bitcoin to build national reserves, potentially driving its price up significantly. She highlights a 2025 executive order establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as a pivotal moment in recognizing Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Wood argues that Bitcoin's fixed supply and potential government purchases could lead to substantial price increases. She maintains a long-term price target of over $1 million per Bitcoin, viewing sovereign accumulation as a likely future development.

Anything ARK and watching BYND go from +100% to -50% in my portfolio 🥲
I'm done gambling.

Avoid anything ARK. If you are a long term investor, I wouldn’t pick any sector or theme funds at all.

ARK... A reckless kraken. 

No. Fk ARK. Never ever. I learned my lesson.

ARK is known for putting Gucci stocks into one big basket ETF that's pretty volatile. The expense ratio is pretty high at 0.75. Sure the companies in ARKX are innovative and have the chance of outperforming the market. The issue is that ARKX doesn't have tried and true companies like Lockheed, Boeing, Bae systems, etc. These companies provide a grounding for most space or defense ETFs. ARKX doesn't have any of these companies. The only foundational company it holds is AMD and that sits at 2%. You'd be better off picking a pure defense play ETF like SHLD or pick individual space stocks. This is just my opinion btw. I'm an amateur investor.

What a joke . I don't believe anything that ARK puts out.

ARK Space & Defence Innovation ETF, what do you think?
