The problem is that, with ARK ETFs, the added risk is mostly uncompensated risk.

Cathie Woods literally sold NVDA before it had a huge run-up a couple years ago. You are paying a high premium to get a manager who makes concentrated bets on unprofitable companies with poor valuations that tanked when the fed funds interest rate rose. There is a long history of funds like this crash/burning, leaving their investors hurting, and it has already started with ARK funds.
Even if you did buy into the Cathie Woods kool-aid, she is 70 years old and can't manage the funds forever.

ARKVX is the only good fund from ARK.
It behaves diversely from the market and I honestly like the holdings (mostly). Many of the companies are ones I have been watching for a long time. I bought in when SoFi offered no fees for it, but it’s pretty expensive now.
Surprisingly, it’s not as hinged on AI as much of the market is.
OpenAI crashing to zero would hurt obviously but otherwise even in April I barely noticed a dip.
I like it personally, just wish I could hold it with Schwab.

I noticed something this week. ARK invest built up 667k ADS in weride. kind of hard to ignore when a fund that picky keeps adding. at the same time the company is rolling a fully driverless service across an entire city and expanding fast in the middle east with strong numbers backing it up. does steady institutional accumulation and real world deployment change anything for you? or do you stick to the chart?

WeRide and Uber just launched L4 fully driverless robotaxi in Abu Dhabi. Recently, ARK Invest Purchases 417,000 Shares and BofA Initiates Buy Rating. Besides these two, there are also big names like Morgan Stanley, Bosch, NVIDIA backing WeRide. This milestone strengthens WRD's position as a global autonomous vehicle leader, two approvals from Abu Dhabi And Switzerland, support its expansion in eight countries

My Roth has mainly VOO, GLD and unfortunately a bit of ARK. I did a lump sum in the beginning and DCA. That portfolio is doing way better than my trading account that has individual stocks.  I also own NVDA, PLTR, AMD, TESLA but a lot of speculative small caps that are down 80%+.  If it weren’t for the tech titans that portfolio would not be positive at all.

🔍 Realbotix business model
Realbotix is ​​moving towards a hybrid model combining humanoid robotics, conversational AI and emotional personalization, close to the imagination of Blade Runner where robots are designed to interact naturally with humans.
1️⃣ Sale of physical humanoids (premium hardware)
They market realistic humanoid robots, intended for:
communication,
reception,
the company,
educational or therapeutic uses.
Humanoid hardware is an emerging market with high unit value ($10,000 to $100,000+ per robot).
2️⃣ Software subscriptions (software & AI)
The heart of the modern business model:
AI updates,
conversational skills,
virtual personalities,
cloud services,
emotional / face / voice modules,
analytics.
It’s recurring, scalable income with big margins.
3️⃣ Advanced personalization (“human-centric AI”)
This is their key differentiation:
expressive humanoids,
realistic faces,
emotional behaviors,
design oriented towards human relationships.
They position themselves as the “Apple of the emotional humanoid” brand, which distinguishes them from industrial players like Tesla Optimus or Figure AI.
4️⃣ Corporate partnerships
They are looking (according to the image) for partnerships with three major tech companies, which would aim to integrate their humanoids into sectors like:
retail,
health,
education,
entertainment.
5️⃣ Media strategy
With billions of views reported, Realbotix is ​​banking on:
emotional marketing,
the virality of photorealistic humanoids,
the appeal of the general public.
It is a B2C + B2B strategy, very rare in robotics.
Why Realbotix could theoretically multiply its capitalization (x100 in the long term)
(strategic analysis, not a guarantee or investment advice)
1️⃣ The humanoid market is exploding
Analyzes (Tesla, Goldman Sachs, ARK, Softbank) predict:
a humanoid market exceeding $1,000 billion within 10–15 years.
30 to 40% of physical tasks can be automated.
If Realbotix captures even 0.1% of the global market, it could represent several billion in capitalization.
2️⃣ They are positioned on a unique segment: the emotional humanoid
Unlike Tesla or Figure AI which create “utility” robots, Realbotix aims to:
human relationships,
proximity,
social uses,
personalization.
This could create a new category comparable to:
iPhone (premium mobile),
Meta Quest (general public mixed reality),
Dyson (engineering design + lifestyle).
A “Blade Runner / Her / Westworld” position, but real.
3️⃣ Network effect + recurrence
The more humanoids there are:
the more the AI ​​improves,
the more users pay for add-ons and subscriptions,
the more the margins increase.
The software-first approach is scalable, and can generate massive recurring revenue.
4️⃣ Strong media traction = visibility = adoption
Photorealistic robots captivate audiences.
This type of product affects:
psychology,
emotional marketing,
Science fiction,
social media.
These projects often go viral spontaneously.
5️⃣ If Realbotix becomes THE brand of “human-faced” robots
Like Apple in the 2000s with design:
brand image,
aesthetic,
user experience.
The valuation could follow a similar logic: small company → cultural brand → major player in a global market.
---
🔵 Conclusion
Realbotix stands out because it focuses on the emotional humanoid robot, very different from industrial robots.
If the market follows the explosively optimistic forecasts and they remain leaders in the “human/Blade Runner” segment, then there is a scenario where the valuation could grow extremely, especially over the very long term.

It’s interesting to see ARK and BofA show confidence at the same time, but the bigger question for me is whether WeRide can translate regulatory wins into durable revenue. Getting an L4 permit in Abu Dhabi is a meaningful milestone, but scaling autonomous fleets has historically been the hard part high capex, slow rollout, and uncertain unit economics. If they start reporting consistent commercial usage with improving margins, that would make the story much more compelling than any single-day institutional buying. For now, I’m keeping it on the watchlist rather than assuming this is a long-term inflection point.

ARK buying something isn't exactly the flex it used to be tbh, their track record has been pretty rough lately

ARK Invest bought 417,000 shares of WeRide, BofA applied a BUY, is this a good sign right now?

I had a little pocket change pre-COVID and was in a lot of stocks that CRASHED hard - airlines and travel were one of my categories back then. I just held out and started DCAing the ones in red until they came back and sold immediately, then started buying ETFs - both industry (like tech ETFs: QQQ, ARK, etc) and precious metals (Gold, Silver).
At this point in time I’m happy to stay mostly in gold, silver, and mining while my 401k has exposure to other types of investments. I don’t have faith that our economic system can hold, and in a hyperinflationary event (for USD), I’d bet harder on commodities like metals than on foreign currencies that might have correlation to USD because of petrol or trade.
Aside from that, a money market account gives me 4% APR on my savings, which I also consider a safer option that at least helps curb some inflation.
I don’t think I’ll ever touch options unless I have a full time investor doing my trades for me. I’m not qualified enough to make sense of it all.
