The broad markets slid again on Wednesday but things could have been worse. The Dow Jones industrial average, Nasdaq, & S&P 500 dipped to start out the day, all down over 1% but each of these major averages closed at session highs. The family of ARK Invest ETFs had a tough day too. ARKF performed the best out of the group down about 0.2%, while ARKG lagged the rest of the group down 1.8%. The gains from last year are slowly sliding away, but Cathie Wood may have something up her sleeve as she is constantly reshuffling her ETFs to stand up to market headwinds.
ARK Invest has been the talk of Wall Street over the past couple of years, outperforming the market and solidifying its place among the big players in the investments world. Cathie Wood is the founder and head of this investment house, and many have compared her rising star to the likes of Warren Buffett.
Many traders are looking to mirror the plays of famous investors and huge brokerage firms to capitalize on the gains that the big dogs are making. Lucky for us, ARK Invest releases a list of its trades at the end of each trading day.
