I made a shitload swinging ARK stocks in 2020. Like the companies were garbage, but flows were coming in and shit just ran. Made a lot of money, then happened to sell 50% the day of the top, and took a big hit on the rest.
Like I traded PACB from 8 to 40 even though the company was doing nothing. Its 1.40 now.
Trying to get the 10 baggers is fucking fun, and when it works it works, but when it doesnt, oh boy it doesnt. I speak from experience as my median month underperforms SPY by 1.3%.... but since 2020 I am beating SPY by more than 120% lol.
Im trying to get back to small wins and gradual increases instead of massive 80% portfolio gains in 2 months, because those also lead to 30% drops in 2 weeks.

I ended up buying more ARK after the dip and ended up making money on a few of the tickers. Lost some on the others. I ended up about even in the end, but the opportunity cost sucks. ARKQ - I put a stop loss on it and it executed recently for a nice gain.

Yep, ARK is where I learned my lesson. Bought into the hype and took a fat L. It’s why I don’t touch thematic or sector ETFs anymore especially ones that kids on reddit think can only go up. I was that kid on Reddit once upon a time.

ARK in 2021. Invested about $150k total. Sold for around $50k. Never listened to friends since that.
