Stupid post? Did you read yours? Oh, that’s right you wrote it. She just recently set a $3K price target and then sells 250K shares. Are you that stupid?
TSLA had a big run up on Mon & Tues. If TSLA goes above 10% of an ARK fund, they sell. CW has said this numerous times. Being that you're obsessed with her, I assumed you knew this.

Yeah, if only what you are saying was true. They don’t automatically sell based on the 10% threshold. As if I’m the only one scratching my head on CW’s sale. Go read what plenty of pros are saying this morning. Here’s just one of many quotes:

"What's interesting is their unwinding of some Tesla shares after their ludicrous call on Tesla," said Karim Moussalem, head of cash equity sales at Cantor Fitzgerald Europe in London. "Selling some shares after that is a bit odd."

It's just a well executed Pump and Dump.

So now ARK being bullish on TSLA is a new thing?
Maybe you should look back over the past 6 months to see how many times TSLA has been bought and sold.

The only timeframe that’s relevant is the time she made the $3,000 call and now.
If she's always bullish, you will always find "pump" quotes from her to fit your timeline.

It's still by far their largest holding.

The timing of the sale is not a coincidence. They release that report and sell at the same time so they don't hit the market too hard. They know everyone is watching everything they do so its hard to sell big pieces of any of their holdings. So while they might be just rebalancing the timing of this sale is clearly a pump and dump.

If ARK buys on the down, they are doing it merely to set a floor. If they buy when it's up, it's a pump and dump.

These narratives have gone beyond tired.

As noted above, they are constantly buying and selling TSLA. CW is constantly bullish. It's by far their largest holding. They sold some so as to buy COIN.

Total nothing to see moment.

The circular logic and refusal to acknowledge CW’s TSLA shenanigans is amusing. Of course it’s her largest holding - she said it’s going to $3000! She made the call a few weeks ago implying the stock would more than quadruple. Why would she sell a stock that she just predicted weeks earlier would quadruple instead of trimming Teladoc or Roku (which combined are more than 10% of ARKK). Did she predict TDOC and ROKU would quadruple? Come on - you guys must be joking. CW is a pro and clearly used the $3000 call to pump the stock and then used the COIN news cycle as cover to trim her TSLA position.

Anyways, Josh Brown noted yesterday that REIT's have historically been the best perfomers in an inflationary environment. Not gold, not oil., but REIT's.

I do own IIPR and SLG. 3ish% of my portfolio. Maybe buy some more?

If she thought it was going to $3000 in a straight line, with no ups and downs, then sure.

Of course she was going to trade around a core position. Like she always has, like she has always been bullish, like there are people who are going to create some conspiracy narratives, there is nothing new here.

Yeah nothing new here. Most fund managers trim positions just a few weeks after they are all over the media with an insane $3,000 price target. Can’t make this **** up.

Did you read my post about ARK and the $3K PT from yesterday morning? I want to make your head explode.

I'd like to see ARK's 2020 transaction history. Anyone? Or at least can we verify that she was selling TSLA at times during the year?

Listen - it’s not like I’m the only one who has an issue with Tesla’s valuation and world dominance. But, everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion and, most importantly, are free to invest their money wherever they want. The long story short is hopefully everyone on this board is sitting on a mountain of cash/assets 20 years from now - whether through TSLA, spec tech, FAANG, blue-chips, bonds, crypto, etc.

Like I said, as far as I’m concerned, the only relevant time period is after her $3000 call. It was widely perceived as a bold (insane) call at a time when TSLA was sliding. I wouldn’t be surprised if CW trimmed in the past 12 months when TSLA hit close to $900. But that was a different market snapshot in time.

Your favorite recent SPAC, QS just busted through it's $42 support level. Down nearly 10% this morning.

I saw it yesterday at around $40, knowing it was below that support, but didn't react. effer.
Thought you jumped in due to technicals. I was worried seeing that post because that’s the kiss of doomed.

The always opinionated Josh Brown taking a jab at the bears: Paraphrasing a bit.

"If you can't see that we are in a bull market, might be time to go check out the job opportunities at Amazon"

Had a good line stinging those investors sitting on a pile of cash waiting for "their time" as the market just continues to grind higher.

Bears always make me laugh. They are so terrified of the 20% down that they miss the 50% up.

See sig below. 😁

I did. But then came the catalyst in the form of a short report which broke that support.

But sure, my post was a kiss of death.

When people over simplified, it’s always the kiss of death. But back to the actual issue of the short report. I’m going to let it settle and buy some more. This is one of the weakest short reports in a long time. Their research is just interviewing ex-employees and comparison to Nikola and Theranos.

Looks like a lot of the green energy stocks, from solar, to hydrogen, to batteries like QS, to the small ev plays like RIDE and CCIV are taking a big hit today. Continuing a downward trend.

Up more then 120% over the past 12 months.
Up more then 4x since early 2019.
Up about 20x since early 2016.

NVDA - my 4th largest stock in my main retirement account. I use the Morningstar X-Ray Stock Allocation feature than sums up all of the holdings in my funds. Great tool!
