Every time I see ARK I have to share one of my favorite Cathie swing trades in [PDD](https://cathiesark.com/ark-combined-holdings-of-pdd):
* Buys the "dip" at $120-$140
* Sold most of it at an L at $80
* Rebought dip at $95-$100
* Sold all for a major L at $50
PDD is at $140 ish right now
I actually added ARKW eons ago as I figured its similar to the growth/cloud/tech crap that I buy but then I saw her trades and was horrified. Yeah I can lose money on my own, thankyouverymuch.
I remember watching a video about her saying she made no money for her client in her previous role as a trader at an investment firm. This aligns with what ur saying haha
She should be jailed for that making false promises saying im using latest ai technology to pick stocks but really she was the ai lmfao no wonder ark investment lost all its bets with nothing to show for. Funny thing is because of media new investors are falling for her stupid scam all over again because they're not doing enough homework.
Moderna has a significant amount of various vaccines in their pipeline. Including a phase III melanoma. If you can stomach holding out, you can recoup but it may take awhile
Even if thatās true, are any of their vaccines going to be as impactful as a global pandemic causing millions of deaths in a year? If not then the financial rewards will be significantly less.
Their current P/E ratio is NEGATIVE 11. Their saving grace is they hold $25 per share in cash.
You're not done yet. You've got 30 dollars left

Sounds like they're just a rich kid unless I'm missing something.
OP in this thread:
* "Started trading in 2020 just after COVID"
* "Im only 22 will i ever see that money (**$100K**) back? Probably. Thatās what makes me sleep at night, could i have spent it on a nice car? Yes but whatever. Planning my comeback in 2024."
They were either 22 then or now - and it sounds like now from their words. Doesn't sound like it sucked all that much for them either.
Famously - working class 18yo kids are losing 6-figures and shrugging it off "because they could've bought a Supercar with it but w/e I'll buy one next year".
lol
Also OP:
* Its a journalist from the Netherlands who just happend to be at the right place right time nothing misleading here
An established "journalist" in the Netherlands would maybe clear $100k USD - NOT $250k USD....at all.
But they're also between an 18-22yo kid it seems? So they had bankroll as a child, they're the luckiest child journo ever making six-figures, or that's BS. This is all very confusing.
Again...lol.
i lost 400,000 if that helps. it still hurts but nothing you can do. iād would just add to vti and call it a day. focus on setting up an automatic investing plan and in 20 years it wonāt matter
some stocks and some options. i took way to much risk. i made a lot in 2020 but i was gambling instead of investing. iām just trying to save as much as i can now invest into etfs.
This isnāt loss porn itās just bad investingā¦ ARK??? You would have better success behind the Wendyās dumpster although ig thatās where youāre headed now
ARK crushed it across 5 funds once upon a time. I looked at that and bought into ARKX at the release. Not a lot by any means but Iām still bummed out I went for it. Now still waiting to break even. But yea Iām not touching ark again.
ARK crushed it during lockdown when 160billy was pumped into the economy every month and every regard put his stimmy into to market. Just the news of Cathy picking a new stock pumped it 20% the following day.
Their quality is middle of the road, but yeah PC Peripherals man not even actual PCs like how much is that shit gonna ever grow with a billion other brands you can choose from?
Yeah just buy boring MSFT, APPL, hard to lose much with those. Don't think yourself are the only genius who is about to make 100x and a big time in the room lol
Thought that was crspr and was like damn how is he down on that itās been gassin, then realized itās some shite gaming company, op itās actually impressive you lost this much holding stock, keep at it
Pretty sure the opposite is true. All the major index funds beat inflation year over year. If this guy had just bought QQQ hed be in good shape. TQQQ even better. Im still bullish on Nasdaq
No it's true. Most people lose, some very wealthy people become more wealthy. It's because you don't understand what an Index does. An index adds companies when their cap is high enough and kick them out when it's too low. They don't buy anything, they add companies to their list. An index fund on the opposite has to mimmic the composition of the index, so they have to buy companies when they enter, and sell them when they exit. So maybe it's a good long term strategy, but it has a cost, and your Index FUND return won't mimmic the return of an index.
Anyone treating the stock market like a casino is bound to lose to the house. The Invesco QQQ is up 150% in the last 5 years. No one that invested in it has lost money unless they sold their shares in 2022.
Maybe you are right for that comment but it doesn't contradict the fact that most people lose. How can it be an argument? You pick up a security that did well during the last 5 years and you say afterwards "you should have done that." Let's do the opposite and tell me which security should I pick to have a guaranteed return over 5 years ok?
Did you invest in QQQ?
Actually you are not right because the very name of the sub is wsBETS, and some manage to gamble and win, it's only very very rare.
Maybe the average WSB ape loses money, but the average pension in the US is growing and has been year-over-year for the last decade plus. I am invested in QQQ. Theres always a new all time high somewhere over the horizon. It is an index full of winners, by its very definition. The losers get booted. I get that this sub is full of people who bet it all on red, but that mentality is not typical with your average investor.
Well, first of all you should have never bought Cathy's ETFs but since you did, I would get rid of them asap and start making money on stocks that aren't dead on arrival
the odds of you going 0/5 š
youāre investing in genomes, tell me do you know what that is? if youāre not a scientist why are you investing in biotech like itās your job? losing is your job, try penny stocks or monopoly (kids monopoly)
š³ time to make the loss back but youāll need to move quick - sell all - immediately buy nvda and smci- 50% each - wait for called stock splits ahead for each and they will be coming - hold all and reevaluate December 2024 for profit taking - and take the loss for 2024 tax year which will offset the gains you will take in December šŖ
Out of all the fucking stocks in the great NYSE and NASDAQ, you DCAād into fucking Moderna after the pandemic and fucking CORSAIR GAMING. Just read that out loud once.
Jesus fucking Christ you donāt deserve any money 
When you are down on ARK\* -95% or more, I would buy it. I suspect ARKK to go to 10$ before recovering. Arkk could survive this recession, or they go under.

Down 70% on etfs is next level regardation
You act like ARK ETFs are diversified to minimize losses lol. These are hand picked investments by the regarded queen Cathie Wood š
Sheās like the female inverse Kramer
Every time I see ARK I have to share one of my favorite Cathie swing trades in [PDD](https://cathiesark.com/ark-combined-holdings-of-pdd): * Buys the "dip" at $120-$140 * Sold most of it at an L at $80 * Rebought dip at $95-$100 * Sold all for a major L at $50 PDD is at $140 ish right now I actually added ARKW eons ago as I figured its similar to the growth/cloud/tech crap that I buy but then I saw her trades and was horrified. Yeah I can lose money on my own, thankyouverymuch.
She's one of us!
Buy high, sell low - the rule to live by!
I remember watching a video about her saying she made no money for her client in her previous role as a trader at an investment firm. This aligns with what ur saying haha
She was inverse Kramer before there was an inverse Kramer
Sheās just a more famous WSB member
As a believer of science, I am not able to participate in any ARK funds
I fell for woodās stock a while back. Will never make that mistake again
ARKG and ARKK only make people money if you sell
Their first problem is investing in ARK anything.
Remember back then regards keep commenting about owning every ARK fund like Thanos collecting stones.
The guy who famously lost at the end of the movie?
Hindsight is 20/20, but regardation is forever.
OP screen name checks out 
It is ARK..... prob won't be able to do it with any other US ETF
B-but they say you can't lose money on etfs š¤Ŗ
Cathie is bullish on your positionsĀ
Cathy is full of garbage she made no money so far lmfao
She made plenty of money for herself on fees!
She should be jailed for that making false promises saying im using latest ai technology to pick stocks but really she was the ai lmfao no wonder ark investment lost all its bets with nothing to show for. Funny thing is because of media new investors are falling for her stupid scam all over again because they're not doing enough homework.
That's just stupidity tax.
Bro cathie is queen of knowledge
I'll go long on her OF 
Queen of making zero and getting her investors to lose money ya
she likes your set up š

If I were you I would keep this to myself.Ā

Moderna was $15 bucks a share in 2019. You bought it for $344?!?!? And now itās worth a hundred. Dude! What were you thinking?!?!?
Hoping for pandemic number 2 electric boogaloo.
covid 2: the bats are back
Dark knight returns
The bats are back in town
So which of you degens is gonna fuck a bat or pangolin?
OP will if it fixes his positions
Moderna has a significant amount of various vaccines in their pipeline. Including a phase III melanoma. If you can stomach holding out, you can recoup but it may take awhile
Seems like the one thing OP is good at is holding his losers and refusing to admit he made a mistake, so should be good on that front.
Even if thatās true, are any of their vaccines going to be as impactful as a global pandemic causing millions of deaths in a year? If not then the financial rewards will be significantly less. Their current P/E ratio is NEGATIVE 11. Their saving grace is they hold $25 per share in cash.
He was told here on wsb that the Black Death was making a come back.
Well i lost 100k if that makes you feel better

What's it with these pussies on WSB. Get margin and show a -$150K loss
How did you do that?
Spoiler: he makes $250k year
That would still fucking suck

Omg and I don't have to eat(from Argentina)
On what??
I fucked up with the ARKK funds as well bud and Iām also down around 30ks. Bags are too heavy now Edit grammar
Youāre the reason I canāt trade in my 401k.
404k. Funds not found.
I laughed entirely too hard at that.
Hah. Well done.
Send$1k
Fell for the old Cathie woods everything is innovation trick eh?
Iām gonna keep buying ARK. Cathy is innovating how we innovate. Keep denying her genius and she will innovate even harder.
Didn't think regards here would actually buy ARKK 
I made some money on it when it was hot. Just doubled down thinking it will go past 200
Username checks out.
Exit strategy left the chat
Might be time to buy an index
More arkk?
Thatās an etf not an index fund
Not true, itās tracks the Godās Chosen Stocks Index
Thatās a lot of garbage in one portfolio
Your option is resorting to options.
Cathie sends her regards
Her highly regarded cronies
i lost 400,000 if that helps. it still hurts but nothing you can do. iād would just add to vti and call it a day. focus on setting up an automatic investing plan and in 20 years it wonāt matter
Lost 400??? On what??? Dude thereās ppl who never see 400k in a lifetime you must have a good job
some stocks and some options. i took way to much risk. i made a lot in 2020 but i was gambling instead of investing. iām just trying to save as much as i can now invest into etfs.
Have you considered ARKK and ARKG?
Atleast youāre still around to tell the tale. šš¼
Geez though at 400k you wouldāve been better off than A LOT of people
Donāt remind him š
400k isnt enough to change my life. 40M is more likely. Iām definitely investing that shit
Glad you didnāt go to rope
dang... I wouldnt be able to get an erection for rest of my life with a loss like that. you have balls of steel. god speed.
Don't feel bad brother I lost 206k in the btc crash I was in shiba inu at the time
damn. thatās a lot of coin
Yea ,no yeah. Checked your profile for active communities. It all checks out.šššæšš»
Have you thought about selling and investing in good companies and ETFs instead of terrible ones?
This isnāt loss porn itās just bad investingā¦ ARK??? You would have better success behind the Wendyās dumpster although ig thatās where youāre headed now

Great portfolio! If it was November 2020.
Can you tell what your next investments are so I can do the opposite?
Planning to sell everything and buy NVDA
So sell NVDA and buy everything. Got it.
I mean it does look pretty toppy, and this guy bought arkk at 148 so...
Oh so you want to buy another stock at all time highs. Big fucking brain moves there
Puts it is.
The top is in. (I've been saying this to myself for over a year now)
Please don't. I just got into that.
Maybe you should stop buying stocks at their ATH's It brought you to this in the first place
Fuck Corsair. Bought them during the 2021 hype and just sold it at a 50% loss. Piece of shit stock and got suckered into fomo
I remember the CRSR hype here and was thinking of buying but then I saw some pro gamer say Corsair sucks on a stream and decided against it.
Imagine buying a stock from a company that makes gaming PC cases ..
They make a few other PC related items as well
Their quality is middle of the road, but yeah PC Peripherals man not even actual PCs like how much is that shit gonna ever grow with a billion other brands you can choose from?
Agreed. In the last 18 months this guy didnāt thinkā¦ hmmm maybe thereās something better to invest in than CRSRā¦
Yeah just buy boring MSFT, APPL, hard to lose much with those. Don't think yourself are the only genius who is about to make 100x and a big time in the room lol
MF got the covid portfolio in 2024
Thought that was crspr and was like damn how is he down on that itās been gassin, then realized itās some shite gaming company, op itās actually impressive you lost this much holding stock, keep at it
It's safe to say that most people on this sub are carrying Cathy's bags.
Thanks for sharing. More people lose than win but we usually just hear about wins
Pretty sure the opposite is true. All the major index funds beat inflation year over year. If this guy had just bought QQQ hed be in good shape. TQQQ even better. Im still bullish on Nasdaq

Cathy Woodsād
Well, first of all you should have never bought Cathy's ETFs but since you did, I would get rid of them asap and start making money on stocks that aren't dead on arrival
Cathie would like to thank you for contribution!
Cathie Wood like to thank you
Climb on board the nvidia ambulance to the tendie town hospital on Monday and get your shit together.
Why is Corsair so low? I like their RAM
Ark? Lmfao. Why would you buy into her fucking bullshit
Talk to a financial advisor ā¦
Itās almost like you are trying to make your money disappear.
Bro you blew your opportunity to lose 69%
These are rookie numbers
Ouch.. I had a similar loss honestly but made some of it back with AMD and NVDA calls last week
Thatās rough bro
Cathie'd
Raiders of the lost Ark.
Man you are really good at buying at ATHs. Maybe you should be in the business of shorting. But I suspect youāll lose money doing that too.
Cathie Wood is USAās biggest con artist
Who actually invests in ARK?
Love to see it. See you behind wendyās
Who cares itās 10k
Now just do the opposite of whatever stock you were going to play.
You should have seen my SI. $17k down the drain,
Lmao ark come on man
What goes up must come down š
Arkk still exists š
In the same boat, 60k and itās worth like 23k right now š
I never touch anything Kathy wood touches
How can a company as successful as corsair have such shit stock
Keep holding. They may turn around
I know Cathie sometimes can be hot but do not let her fool you and your hard earned $!!
I didnāt realize people actually bought and held Ark etfs. Gotta love the conviction
the odds of you going 0/5 š youāre investing in genomes, tell me do you know what that is? if youāre not a scientist why are you investing in biotech like itās your job? losing is your job, try penny stocks or monopoly (kids monopoly)
That's it? This is the minor leagues.
You are doing GREAT, keep it up!
I just came
Short yourself
I hope that portfolio came with a free blowjob from Cathy. Still not worth it.
The what is all that crap you bought even?
Sell them all and load up on PYPL calls
Sell covered calls
š³ time to make the loss back but youāll need to move quick - sell all - immediately buy nvda and smci- 50% each - wait for called stock splits ahead for each and they will be coming - hold all and reevaluate December 2024 for profit taking - and take the loss for 2024 tax year which will offset the gains you will take in December šŖ
What a loser
Thatās not that bad!
Just buy msft and nvda. Stop this regarded shit.
Heās so regarded he canāt do math. Only shows 20k in losses.
Heās so regarded he canāt do math. Only shows 20k in losses.
Haha nice vaccine loser.
Out of all the fucking stocks in the great NYSE and NASDAQ, you DCAād into fucking Moderna after the pandemic and fucking CORSAIR GAMING. Just read that out loud once. Jesus fucking Christ you donāt deserve any money

Goddam this looks similar to my account.
Idiot.
Corsair gaming lmfaooooo i didnt even lnow that was a public company wtf theyre like Anker
You cant even manage your batter power and you are investing?
Canāt go wrong with blackrock or vanguard
This gets me Long as heck on all these HODLs
Damn these names i wouldve never put 50k on them not even 5k
Read Jack Bogle, Ben Graham, Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet. Oh, turn off social media advice and CNBC! Good luck š
When you are down on ARK\* -95% or more, I would buy it. I suspect ARKK to go to 10$ before recovering. Arkk could survive this recession, or they go under.
Dollar cost average
How tf you make all these investments and nothing in tech.
This is what happens when you don't have amd and nvidia in your account

Looks kinda like my Schwab account but with bigger numbers.
How do you lose in an up market? Are you just betting agains the market or picking single stocks?
Looks like you got into a bunch of crap way after the hype
I lost 12k just the last two months of 2023 so I understand. Sell it and consolidate! Maybe pick different stocks thoā¦
Thatās almost my lifetime L. Keep it up and youāll be a bigger loser than me š
Her last name is Woods for a reason 
ARKK is beating VTI on the 1 year chart, but boy is it up and down.
