ARKK

If Cathie can't beat SPY while meme stocks are exploding, then I'm just going to have to keep buying ARKK shares and hope that she someday sends feet pics to ~~bagholders~~ investors 🙏🏻

I made a table with examples that help show this (and additional explanation): * Index based or actively managed describes how the contents of a fund are chosen. * ETF or mutual fund describes how the fund trades. When creating a fund, you pair 1 "contents chosen" with 1 "how it trades" for 4 main types of funds. Examples in parenthesis: ||**ETF**|**Mutual Fund**| |:-|:-|:-| |**Actively Managed**|Actively Managed ETF (ARKK)|Actively Managed Mutual Fund (FBGRX)| |**Index Based**|Index ETF (SCHF)|Index Mutual Fund (FSKAX)|

I want to give my review of Theta Options Trading Company. I would say this technique works in an uptrend market with great stocks that keep pumping up. Selling naked puts and Selling Covered calls made money. The strategy is to collect the premium. It did very well right after COVID when every stock just kept ripping up. I picked any stock I would've made money. The only thing is that they have no exit strategy when the stock just drops hard and never returns. I did this course in November of 2019 a little bit before COVID hit in March. So it was great timing that I learned this technique. I have no stock background and no prior experience whatsoever. At the beginning I did some trial tests. I put in a little bit of money to test it out. It worked. As time went on I put in more money and more money as things seemed to work out. Every few months I did well and put in more money. I also sold a property to fund the account because I believed in them and this strategy so much that I leveraged a bit of the home also to fund it. Everything did go very well for a while. I made the 1-3% returns per month that they promised. I also kept it safe by writing any stock that they wrote. So I figured that if I went down. They would too. Low and behold, after the huge post COVID run up until January of 2022 a correction came. The war was starting in Ukraine and stocks just dived. Stupid us, we ("We" meaning a whole 900 people in the Facebook group.) followed the strategy. Average down and keep following the strategy. As things kept going down.  At one point the portfolio went down to -40%. Now it's better at -25%.  Even now that the S&P 500 is at 5200 now. Way past the previous peak. You can't do covered calls on the ones that plunged and are just holding it. There are so many people who have averaged down on the wrong stocks. Thinking it might go back up. But 2 years after the peak. Those stocks are still down. The stocks from their picks that are doing well are **Microsoft, Apple, Visa, NVDA, Meta, Coca Cola, Uber, AMD.** The ones that are doing horrible are **Walmart, LuLu, Paypal, Walt Disney, TSLA, Nike, ABNB, Starbucks, ARKG, ARKK, Palantir, SE.** The ones that are down are down 20-80%. Averaging down hurts on those ones. The worst is people were writing puts at the top. Now see where the numbers are. So sad. So much money has just gone. No more 1-3% that they claim. On Top of that you lost money. All the money you did make you lost and more. Does their strategy work? You be the judge. They don't mention or talk about many of these anymore. The Facebook forum is so quiet. The fund should be doing good. Because that is the only positive thing about it. They have a Facebook page where they keep in contact with the community. That thing is pretty useless. Nobody says anything and if you have a question those guys aren't really responsive. They aren't there to truly help. If you need help they will respond maybe in 1-3 weeks or something. The number of people in the group falls every month, I watch it. They even post youtube videos of their fund that they have. I can just see how I got sucked into the optimism. So did a lot of others. What can you do? NOTHING. Maybe just rant a little bit on forums. I wrote a google review on their page but my post doesn't show up. Great for all the 5 Star reviews. They are very convincing on the youtube videos though.  Anyways. The money I lost I consider gone. Was it alot. Yes. Never lost that much money in my life. Do I have sleepless nights sometimes or think about it still. Yes. **Regret** is the only word that sums up what I think about this group. Learning lesson: Didn't know any better and the timing of the post COVID run up didn't make you think things were gonna go wrong. Now that interest rate went up and people were using lines of credit and HELOC. Are definitely losing more money than they are making. Yet they are still so positive in the youtube videos, while the rest of us are sad, not knowing what to do. Luckily for me I found someone who taught me how to do real trading and technical analysis. It's getting better so well see how that goes.

It also applies if your doing factors, buy undervalued companies you believe in or momentum. In my 20+ years of investing the people who got rich after 2000 and 2008 were people who stuck with the funds and companies they believed in. I have a friend who has been in contra fund and FMAGX since way before I met him. This is assuming you don't buy something like janus 2000s version of ARKK or ARKK itself. Hell look at mulvaney he has - four year periods all the time then great years that makes his CAGR 20%.

thezenunderground

Fuck you Cathie woods..everything she touches turns to shit..including my stocks. Fun fact, if you bought ARKK five years ago, you'd be down 10% today..

SinisterStroodle

4.85% of holdings in ARKK 🤣

Bronto_Chad

ARKK average cost basis for ZM is $278.55

Bronto_Chad

You probably not breakeven If you own ARKK since 2014 after inflation and fees.

ebfeebfe

Cost basis for $RBLX in $ARKK is $58. Pre-market at $26, down -30% after earnings. Cathie Woods OnlyFans is the logical conclusion.

dvdmovie1

Roblox -29% pre-market. Guess which stock is about 5% of ARKK?

AmazingSquare8542

This is a stupid marketing area because AI does not understand but trades. The “loss” is not and operating loss, company is doing amazingly. They also have $5billion in cash and a whole pile of free equity investments in partners like GLBE. Those have to be marketed to market every quarter and go up and down. This quarter they went down $323 million. Hence huge operating profit but a GAAP loss. It’s bullshit and why ARKK bought $30million yesterday. I liquidated everything and put it all on SHOP. Probably the best company in the market. SCREAMING YELLING BUY BUY BUY

the_leviathan711

You were cautious before? Didn’t you say you fell for ARKK?

Alarmed_Reporter_642

Thanks for these articles. I’ll read up, and may even change my approach. I did fall for the lure of ARKK in 2020 but sold. Thank you for being constructive with your feedback, and helping me learn. I’d say you are the minority in the literal toxic shithole that is Reddit. So salute to you sir.

PuzzleheadedOffer749

when i first started getting into investing i followed cathie woods plays and needless to say i was down down, look at ARKK....

asscrackbanditz

Bro you interested in some ARKK at 120?

looool_k_libtard

Money is flowing out of garbage megacap tech stocks and semis that make no money and into well managed funds like ARKK

5uckmyd1ckb1t4

>CATHIE WOOD [$ARKK](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ARKK&src=cashtag_click) BUYS ANOTHER 45K SHARES OF [$PLTR](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PLTR&src=cashtag_click) PALANTIR She bought 345K shares over the last 2 weeks Time to get out of PLTR

PuzzleheadedOffer749

i need ARKK to fall more!!

atdharris

Took the loss on that a long time ago and have no regrets. ARKK is something you could a short term trade and get lucky, but I would never want to hold it over the long term.

creemeeseason

Days like today I remind myself....ARKK is down 9.48% over the last 5 years. I'm outperforming a well known fund manager by a large margin. 👍

---Right--Tackle---

Bond vol out here trading like ARKK 

Alarmed_Reporter_642

But it’s true though. Obviously I couldnt afford $265k in a year but even if you give half to 2022 I’m at like an excess $175k. Google was only $80! I’m not a gambler. I only invest long term. Safe companies and etfs. No garbage like ARKK.

BullBeater

She’s still highly regarded. Exhibit A: ARKK

aggrownor

Sure. I don't disagree. It was just something I was doing for myself for fun, and I wanted to see if ARKK was beating the market as a whole.

aggrownor

I actually did an analysis once where I removed the 10% Tesla stake from her portfolio and showed that ARKK was underperforming the S&P 500

Dmoan

If you bought ARKK 6 years ago you be breaking even and won’t even have dividend income to show for it 🤡

manuvns

I will buy ARKK when it goes to 5$

kwalitykontrol1

I wish I bought puts on ARKK when they started selling merch.

kaminoteter

guess you're on the money. there's the P&L of ARKK which sucks, and then there's the P&L of ARK the holding company, which does go up and to the right

jeopardy_loser

It can’t be any worse than just drawing tickers from a hat, which is what it looks like she did when picking the ARKK portfolio

finkalot1

Fix my ARKK losses before anything else

gnocchicotti

Hell yeah I'm in until Cathie adds it to ARKK

Distinct_Audience_41

I feel less badly with my $20k ish loss in ARKK/ ARKG due to tech bros recommendation with each of these options loss porn posts. Haven’t sold yet but fck Cathy Wood

Emper0rG0d

Thoughts on ROKU? It's basically a short Wood/ARKK play. I don't see how their TV sales can be doing that great.

kk7766

$ARKK back to COVID lows when BTC just hit all time highs, QQQ hit all time highs and we had the biggest "innovation" AI pump since the dot com bubble. Cathie really, really, really, really, really fucking sucks

DrBoomkin

Has Cathie Wood had even a single major success over the last 3 years? Looking at ARKK performance, it looks more like you should be doing the opposite of what she does...

blade-runner9

ARKK!

No-Try6397

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 …..

chumbubbles

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% 

Starmedia11

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).

CouncilmanRickPrime

>As a longtime ARKK holder But why? Have you heard her predictions before?

MusclyArmPaperboy

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

Ryoujin

ARKK is like us but just loses money slower.

PlutoTheGod

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

SpongeBobSpacPants

Cathie 12/20/21: [“we can return 40% CAGR over the next 5 years”](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-20/cathie-wood-s-40-return-prediction-draws-rebuke-after-ark-s-arkk-rough-year) ARKK since: -65%

CaptainCAAAVEMAAAAAN

Was it ARKK? Sounds like something Cathy would do.

piss_artist

I bought ARKK during covid.

kk7766

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

Difficult_Water2096

ARKK down bc misogyny

End_Tough

Invest in ARKK no females 😂

dvdmovie1

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.

creemeeseason

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.

emoney9595

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

Cruian

>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 5 year return** -9.79% Cathie Wood is the greatest regard of all time. **^^^OF ^^^ALL ^^^TIME** Inspirational how she gets paid millions to actively lose money.

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.

SleepiestGuyAlive

Hop in her ARKK bro

How to prepare for Monday: 1.) Dump your entire retirement and live savings into Pepe coin, Roblox and Cathie Wood’s ARKK. 2.) Set fire to all physical assets and cash on hand. 3.) Hide behind your local Wendy’s dumpster fire

LateAttention5433

Thanks man , we plan on removing ARKK and replacing it with Vangaurd IT ETF

LateAttention5433

Thanks man , we will remove ARKK and replace it with va garage IT ETF

LateAttention5433

Thanks everyone, gonna drop ARKK

Sharaku_US

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.

Messer_J

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

Powerful-Call5148

AMZN, AAPL, AMD, AVGO, AMGN, ARKK, ASML, AMAT.... Anything that starts with "A" back up the fucking truck.....

Confident_Ask8782

It’s amazing how Cathie screwed everyone, $ARKK

Lazy_Arrival8960

Ask Tesla. Ask ARKK. Ask GE. Ask CISCO. A king doesnt last forever, better to diversify your risks and take the profit when you can.

ARKK red today, how consistent do you have to be at picking the worst stocks to be down today in a diversified fund

According_Scarcity55

By that logic you should buy ARKK

In the past 5 year, the ARKK has a stellar 0.04% annual growth.

You mean by the cost of living crisis, because something like ARKK soared from the bottom in 2020 up to February 2021.  Unless you're going to go ahead and include that with COVID.

Puts on ARKK. Top 2 holdings, TSLA and COIN!

I’m bagholder at the top of ARKK She broke me

animositisomina35

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?
