Catherine Wood's Disruptive Innovation ETF: Is ARKK worth buying?

 

ARKK ETF by Catherine Wood

 Catherine Wood's Disruptive Innovation ETF

 Warren Buffett is a stock god that everyone respected in the past, but in the past year, the female stock god Catherine Wood has become famous for the rising trend of technology stocks, and his head completely overshadows Buffett.  

Therefore, this time I want to talk to you in detail about the prestigious history of this female stock god.

 Catherine Wood founded ARK Investment in 2014 and listed the funds under her management under Exchange Traded Funds to facilitate investors to buy and sell, but the management fee is as low as some passive funds that track an index, about 0.75% per year.

 Ark Investment launched 4 ETFs in September and October 2014. The themes are Next Generation Internet, Automation Technology and Robots, Innovative Technology, and Genetics. 

Among them, Innovative Technology is currently the flagship ETF of Ark Investment and the most most popular ETF with the highest asset value.

 Catherine Wood's investment orientation is Disruptive Innovation.

 She believes that the most disruptive areas include genetic technology, robotics, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, etc. Therefore, Ark's funds all focus on these areas.  

In addition to the above four ETFs, financial technology and 3D printing ETFs were established in the past two years, space exploration-themed fund was launched two months ago, and there is also an ETF with Israel’s technological innovation as the theme.  Langfang Investment currently manages a total of 8 ETFs.

 Catherine Wood, a female stock god, is really exceptional. The ETFs she manages are much more transparent than traditional funds. 

The most obvious example is that she updates ETF holdings daily so that investors can instantly know her latest holdings.  Variety.

 Is ARKK ETF worth buying?

 If you know something about Warren Buffett, you should know that he is a value investor, that is, the stock value must be very attractive to buyers. 

To be more precise, the stock god chooses stocks, at least three conditions must be met. One is a high return on assets. 

 The second is to have an honest and capable management team, and the third is to have a reasonable price.

 But the female stock god Catherine Wood is another style. Whether the price is reasonable is not important. As long as it meets the conditions of "disruptive innovation", she will buy it even if the valuation is high. 

 Catherine Wood's most talked about holdings is Tesla, whose valuation is "unattainable."  In fact, the reason why Catherine Wood is familiar is precise because she insists on being optimistic about Tesla, and Tesla's stock price rose last year, creating this new generation of female stock gods.

 However, investment is not based on one-and-a-half moment performance, but on long-term persistence.  

The fund managed by Catherine Wood is no more than 7 years long. If it has accumulated nearly 50 years of results from Buffett's Berkshire company, it is still far away.

 Therefore, although I also agree with her investment philosophy, it remains to be seen whether she can reach the status of god level!

Shopify stock forecast 2025:Is it worth buying?

  In the last year, the stocks rose relatively well. Another sector is e-commerce. Whether it is Amazon, Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, SEA or vertical e-commerce platforms Etsy and Chewy, all of them have experienced huge gains, while another category has benefited from the e-commerce sector.  The company is a website building tool company such as Shopify BigCommerce Holdings. Today I will talk about shopify, the leader of website building tools.  First, let's briefly talk about shopify's business model. To put it simply, shopify is a fool-like website building platform. In the past, when a company wanted to build a corporate website, it generally needed to find a dedicated person to design and maintain the website.  If you want to add shopping functions to the website, the cost of building the website will also increase. This is true for many small businesses and individual businesses.   A very difficult thing. Shopify uses the SAAS model to provide websit...

The era of negative US interest rates coming?

Recently, the US Federal Reserve suddenly cut interest rates and US stocks fell sharply. Most investors believe that the ten-year bull market for US stocks has ended. In terms of the US dollar index, after a period of decline, the US dollar index rebounded sharply, indicating that risk aversion was high, and market funds were flowing to the US dollar to hedge. The Fed ’s interest rate cuts have not saved the US stock market. The Fed ’s interest rates are now very low. If the Fed continues to cut interest rates in the future, the United States will soon enter the era of negative interest rates. Take Europe and Japan as examples. Negative interest rates have not restored the country ’s economy. The future economic situation of the United States is not optimistic. The reason for the negative interest rate is that the investment must be profitable, otherwise, it will not be invested. If the profit is low or loss, the investor will directly deposit the profit to the bank. When socia...

PLTR stock forecast 2025: Long-term holding growth stocks Palantir

Today we are talking about Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR) the long-term growth stocks.  I have been paying attention to Palantir for a long time before the listing, but after the direct listing, the stock price fluctuated greatly, and the market's valuation faced great divergence. In addition, Palantir chose 80% of the shares to lift the ban three trading days after the financial report.  Therefore, I am also prepared to look at the market's reaction after the ban is lifted.  However, the stock price did not fall sharply due to the large-scale lifting of the ban. In this round of growth stock valuations, the decline of Palantir is not too large, at about 20%, but the valuation is more attractive than before.  From a perspective, I think Palantir is a company worth holding for a long time.  Palantir was founded in 2003 as a big data company with founders Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Nathan Gettings.  Among them, the third and fo...

Many people's moods changed from tension to leisure, and now they are anxious.  It's not just the bosses who are anxious.

More than 700 companies closed down in February, but getting fewer wages is also better than the company suddenly closing down.

10 stocks tell you why U.S. stocks plunged!

The five stages of company growth!

company Many people who study stocks will analyze the fundamentals of the stock, such as viewing its performance report, PE, PB, PEG, debt ratio, dividend ratio, cash flow, ROE, EPS growth, etc. I don't know if you tried it. After performing many basic analyses, you will feel that the prospects for a particular stock are very good.  You have even read the analysis reports of many large banks, or listened to the analysis of many market participants and obtained a consistent high evaluation.  Then, you will think that this stock will grow in the future, so you buy it and think that you can use this stock to create a better future from now on, and the final development of the story is the opposite of the fact that the development direction will eventually Put you in trouble or lose money.

The relationship between Dow theory and the stock market!

Many technical analyses, such as morphological analysis and wave theory, use the Dow theory as the basis for the evolution of original technical analysis. Let's talk about the relationship between the Dow theory and today's stock market. Starting from the three most widely known theorems, theorems, market behavior is inclusive and digestive, market behavior follows the trend, and history will repeat itself. Among these three theorems, there are many Charles investment ideas, which can also be said to be the backbone of technical analysis. Charles' first theorem hoped that the market was originally a gathering place for hundreds of news. For example, Jun A believes that a country's civil war and unstable economy caused it to sell the shares of local companies; Jun B learned that the local companies will still have considerable profitability next year, so he bought the shares of local companies; Jun received a third different message and made an investment decision and...
