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.

I did the same thing last November or so. Then I felt bad and started easing back in. I'm glad I did. There are some things that are not quite panning out yet, like I noticed that Walmart and COSTCO were labeled as a strong buy, and had recent dips. Hoping that they grow before their next earning calls.
Other than that, things like NVDA, MU, TSM just keep growing.
I'm reading some of the other posts here, and its true. You are young. I am close to retiring. Even if you lost a bunch in a crash, it would recover. Just look at the market growth over time.
If you don't want to watch your portfolio everyday, and swing trade a bit, then pick something like BRK-B (Omaha guy here). It will slowly grow. ARK, QQQ, SPY... You can relax a bit and look at it quarterly.
Sometimes we pick losers. I've twice thought CRM could not get any lower, and I took the loss and rolled it into something better. I lost a lot in Crypto because I didn't understand when to get in and out. If I had left it there, I would have it back.
I have made the mistake of panicking too many times. You can not time the markets. You can pick things in hot sectors and hope for the best. I wish I was looking forward like you when I was your age.

moomoo just showed me ARK is dumping SPCX hardPulled up Cathie's ARKQ on the Institutional Holdings tab and she net sold $118.53M of SPCX while only adding $24.14M to AMD.
