In 2021 and 2022, Cathie did not want the FED to raise Interest Rates because she thought inflation would go away by itself and rising rates would cause deflation 2022 and 2023. As a bag holder of her ETF, I learned a lesson not to fall into such ideas of innovation. Many of the “innovative” companies in her ETFs went bankrupt.
I read so many negative comments about her, yet people still listen. I take it that, while she has made mistakes, it is still free information and opinions from her; hear them and make your own decision. I don't believe she got everything wrong in this video.
I think she is overly bullish but that only requires a recalibration of the weights I put on her arguments (in NN node sense). Fundamentally her arguments are sound, though weight them yourself and come to your own conclusions. Also a once in a century event like covid isn't precisely predictable, so can't be factored in. FYI I don't hold any of her ETFs but listening to her is worthwhile.
She has good ideas but terrible execution. She has some dumb rule about selling winners and buying losers. If Tesla starts pumping hold the F on, dont dump because its over weighted thats regarded.
She sounds very smart and gives a good pitch for a strong Trump economy. She compares the current deficit/debt problem to that of Reagan, and claimed Reagan/Bush improved it -- but that's simply not true. Both Reagan and BUsh increased the deficit -- it didn't come down until Clinton became President.
She has a following of average investors who are bias towards certain stocks. When stock picking it is best to have a mentor who has a feel for sentiment and positioning of both institutional and individual investors.
I agree. But it is good to have a balance depending on indicators. I am a private investor with a wealth planner and fixed-income strategist in NY that worked with Cathie when ARK started. She has taught me a lot and will go on to tell me why she always feels the need to hedge against the non-negligible risk that something breaks lol.
I recently sold half my tech stock holdings due to all-time highs, leaving me with $400k. Should I invest in ETFs now or wait for a market correction considering potential inflation?
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
I initially left pharma because I realised that the food industry is poisoning us and pharma benefits from the disease. Now that RFK is gutting those scam artists, I may return to the sector
Ummmm Cathie the conservative growth miracle that started going exponential in the 80's under Reagan was actually the annual deficits and total debt. To any of you readers out there if you look at the national debt and capital markets. The lower the cap gains, the higher the stock market and national debt.
According to Hiper cycle, We have just went thru the peak of infated expectations in 2020 maybe, passing disillusionment in 2022 , and now we are on the slope of enlightenment all the way to 2050 and more.
RE loan rates were 21% in 1980. It was highest inflation ever. caused by the Fed, then reduced by the Fed raising interest rate to 15%. This was a correction much needed, NOT a problem, a solution.
A lot of news have been going on about a rally after the election, urging investors to watch out for stocks that would be experiencing significant growth. Any idea which stocks to put on my watchlist?
Thanks. I’ll turn the video off. I had that idea from the intro. I do think we’ll have a better chance of growth than slump now. But all this manipulation we’re 15/16 years overdue a necessary recession. A real one !!!!
The only ones who lost out are those weak hands that just wanted a quick buck and who bailed out at the first signs of lower prices. Those who stay for the long game will be very well rewarded.
@@nigelsmith186not sure what you are talking about about. Cathie Wood's ARK funds have been under performing the S&P 500 index consistently for the past 5 years and 10 years.
especially the assumption that foreign capital will flood into the US and float the dollar unimpeded, reducing inflation. we all know that isn’t happening. tariffs alone would prevent that from happening on multiple fronts. the more likely scenario is we get counter-tariffed, get in a trade war, inflation remains sticky but manageable, unemployment remains sticky but manageable, and businesses that rely on imports/exports absorb the brunt of the damage in corporate earnings crashes, and probably will either have to get bailed out or bought out by bigger businesses that can suffer the attrition.
Cathie Wood is the fund manager who lost most money in percentage for investors. Don't believe a ward of what Cathie says. Cathie failed to understand there is a big difference between great product vs great company. Millions of great products never make profit. Don't buy whatever she is selling.

Interesting and I hope it works, However: 1) Lower Taxes: How or Who will pay to reduce / eliminate the country’s AND individual state’s unfathomable national individual states debts PLUS all the unfunded Gov’t liabilities ? Ie: Gov’t employee pensions The growth answer does not cut it. 2). Increased productivity: Robotics, automation, AI ect.. will create productivity offset by a significant loss of middle class incomes. 3). Lower interest rates: Inability to keep our global promises reduces global trust in the US dollar and reduces the ability to lower interest rates to fund our never ending yearly deficits, national & state debts and unfunded liabilities. Just my opinion.
It can't. Besides, we paid in to Social Security so it's our own money coming back to us. If we invested even a fraction on in the Stock market we'd be much richer. So stop grudging it.
I'm ecstatic with the outcome of the election and the year-end market surge. Which hidden jewels in the upcoming bull run would you buy with a 100K right now? My goal is to position myself for a prosperous Q1 in 2025.

Very timely video, right before $ARKG breaking the down trend line (200 EMA) today. Can't help but wonder if all the hater comments serve as a contrarian indicator for the ETF and biotech sector in general, the next couple years will most likely be more exciting than the last two.

There is a strong demand for the dollar, but not because of Trump or any other president. Trump didn’t make it into the reserve currency. The economiies of all other countries have been much weaker than USA for the last 50 years plus.
Transferring wealth, especially to the very wealthy and corporations by lowering their tax rates, and lowering interest rates, will of course increase equity investments.

They had to stop doing this after the Bush II administration, not just attacking Afghanistan over the 9/11 terrorism, but occupying the country. Irresponsibly keeping it 'off the books,' to hide the increase in the deficit. His administration also started the Invasion of Iraq on completely, and knowably, false pretexts. They kept this war and occupation off the books as well. He also reversed the Clinton tax raises with an even bigger tax cut to the top classes. (All of these Republican tax cuts throw pennies to the middle class.) This massively ballooned the Federal deficit and National Debt. This then ended the taunt of 'Tax and Spend Democrats,' because whatever the Democrats did paled in comparison. And Clinton ballanced the budget and began to rapidly pay down the National Debt. Trump did the same thing as Bush, and is promising to do even more of it. I figured this out this transfer of wealth to the top 5% and got my piece of it. Doesn't make it good for America.

She has a following of average investors who are bias towards certain stocks. When stock picking it is best to have a mentor who has a feel for sentiment and positioning of both institutional and individual investors.
