The broad markets bounced back on Thursday with the Nasdaq posting a whopping 1.8% gain and the S&P 500 posting a gain of 1.1%. The Dow Jones industrial average lagged up only 0.6%. The family of ARK Invest ETFs had an even better day. ARKK performed the best out of the group up about 3.5%, while ARKX lagged the rest of the group up 1.3%. 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.
