    Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

      Wall Street promoted "quality stocks"-those with strong profitability and low debt-as a form of protection against economic uncertainties. However, these stocks have lagged behind the S&P 500 this year. My $200,000 portfolio has declined by about 20%. Do you have any recommendations for improving my returns?

    You forgot one important thing. Cathie bought ~14M shares NVDA at $15-18 per share on Q2'2022. But then, she sold about 60% of that in Q4'2022 at ~$14 (a loss). Then subsequently sold about 3.5M more NVDA shares through 2023 for an average selling price of ~$36. AI visionary that forgets to bet on *the* AI stock.

It is going to be extremely rare for another unlimited money printing speculative bull run. IF a recession or a financial collapse happens, ARKK stocks will do even worse

    If she actually believed the price targets she set for Tesla herself, then it would not only be 10% of the ETF. It feels a lot like one big pump and when you can pocket fees without making gains then it does not really matter for her if they perform or not.

      Aren't the clips in this video from before both of Tesla's stock splits? If so, multiply current price by 15 and you'll find some of her 5 year price targets have actually been too bearish. The issue is she can't claim to be a fund with utility if Tesla is the whole portfolio or people would just buy shares themselves. All money managers need to trick people into believing they provide value; that's their entire business even though almost none beat an index fund and are objectively bad investments.

    I did not get wiped out because I realized quickly that you could only lose money investing in ARK products, but when I started investing my own money in 2020 I held her products until I read Benjamin Grahams book the Intelligent investor and began following Warren Buffent and Charlie Mungers books and advice. In 2021 I realize that her ideas did not align with my new understanding and I began seeing a decline in my ARK investments even though I was trying to protect myself with dollar cost averaging. I think I lost about 10% and was furious. I jumped out of everything and started complaining on videos that were still hyping up Cathie Woods. Some idiot told me that investing is about buying and holding for the long haul and that I was an idiot for taking that loss. Those ETF's went on to lose 70% more. His comments did not age well and I am glad I stopped going down that fooliship path. I now follow Graham and Buffets rules even if I don't think they are all that sexy or exciting. I have only gained money since.

    I started my investment career in speculative mining and cleantech stocks and then to pension/endowment to learn how to keep the capital for the long-term. I don't think Cathie is a fraud. She is just presenting a different type of investments (venture) to people who are willing to take the risk, hopefully rich people who can afford to lose. it's like gold rush days. people come to find gold and the risk is high. i would say, if she had been more careful in selecting high-risk venture stocks, she would actually come out ahead. you just need one Tesla to counter 99 stocks that went to zero. but have to WAIT for decades for Tesla to become Tesla just like Warren Buffet's style. I actually learned to calm myself down and invest like Buffet by watching your chanel. Thanks.

    It's interesting how some speculative bets work very well, however I rather have a consistently higher win rate because even the best gambles don't seem to help you outperform when you're holding a basket of mainly losing investments. Her time horizon seems to be five years, because it's short enough to keep investors interested and long enough no one will remember.

However, I agree that her performance on ARK has not been nearly as good as she speaks. I still have 3.5% of my portfolio invested in ARKK @$40 per share. I listen to her podcast every month called In The Know which is quite informative and is not all fluff. There seems to be some method to her madness. I will keep the investment for longer term in the portfolio but may not add to it anymore though. But I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks for doing all that you do, Brandon.

Because you lose all your investment in the companies that don't make it and you get a huge return on the few that do make it - that's kind of my take on this. Btw.

But a lot of people seem to enjoy the excitement and massive short term gains rather than a boring index fund. Sure, you can invest short term in these kind of active managed funds if you know that it's a short term investment and pull out your money if you made some money. But people get greedy, have emotions like hope and deny realtity and stay in these funds that may never return to their all time high while index funds do in the long run.

    I've brought this up in other financial youtube comments and I always get attacked for bashing ARKK. I try to show them the light but if someone insists on losing all of their money, I guess there's only so much I can do to stop them. My biggest issue with ARKK is the fact that they charge 1% expense ratio which is absolutely ludicrous for any fund that underperforms the S&P, forget one that straight-up LOSES money over the long term. Like shouldn't the SEC intervene??? Lmfao

    Curious... you are comparing fee structure of Actively managed ETF vs. an index ETF on fee differentials, shouldn't actively managed structure charge more fee in nature?

    I will share this with everyone there is nothing that is certain and forever... Life is constantly changing and moving and you have to move and adapt with it and so does your financial choices.. never be married to anything... Everything is speculative and everything is risk versus reward... Pluses and minuses.. most basic advise you could ever hear and still holds true, just buy low and say high...

    ARKK was always too scary to me. Companies with a future based on optimism made me lose money before, soo....

    There are so many way to do speculative move, I agree that paying 0.75% is really expensive to do so based on the risk exposure even if rates will be cut soon.
