The amount of media coverage she receives is asinine. A true snake oil salesperson.

I remember seeing YT video recommendations for her all the time a few years ago.

Cathie Wood, like the apartment syndicators and many others, is a product of this Fed-driven casino age. If/when the bubble ends, to dust she shall return.

She is on par with Cramer, ARKK down almost 1% premarket

It's rather impressive how she has done so poorly running a tech stock fund in a tech bubble market. Truly a Cramer-esque contrary indicator.

Some investments are buy and hold and don't let go, and others are buy for short periods of time, ride the wave up, and jump off as it starts to go down because it will go down. The only questions being how far and how fast. ARK family of investments is like that. If you hit it at the right time and got off in time, you did quite well.

Cathy Wood, like the business cycle but even quicker, is just God’s way of returning capital to it’s real owners!

But imagine the growth potential of living in the deep value territory.

“How bad does a “well known” fund manager need to do in order to never get invited back on CNBC?” … are you forgetting they have Jim Cramer on their payroll, so I’d say “pretty bad” 🤣

She sold dreams like Tesla selling 20 million cars in 2030 and having full operational robotaxi by 2016.

This is not investing. She is a market speculator rather than an investor.

She's the answer to the Female Jim Cramer

She’s repulsive. As for the next most often interviewed person from that firm, Tasha Keeney, I just cringe when I watch those videos. My gut says she somehow believes that the ARK Invest Monte Carlo simulation model for TSLA is legitimate research, rather than the total hogwash which it is. Mind numbingly stupid.

Side note. I have a feeling, nothing more, that Musk’s breathless tweet storm on the Tesla Roadster indicates they’re having a tough quarter. Can’t prove it. I’ve been wrong before. Timing just smelled bad to me.

Cathie Wood demonstrates that marketing is more important than performance to investors & proves Keynes’s saying that it is better to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally. I will stick w the unconventional. The crowd is wrong more often than right but disagreeing with it takes conviction & toughness. Bubbles are bred by groupthink. So is failure.

It boggles my mind that they are still around.
