Third-quarter gross domestic product missed its mark, but the markets didn’t seem to care as the Nasdaq rose to all-time highs. ARK Invest exchange-traded funds hit it again and saw solid gains on the day. ARKG performed the best out of the group, up 3.5% on the day, while ARKX did the worst, up just 1.2%.

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. 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.
