    "Cathie Wood, the founder and CEO of Ark Investment Management, said that innovation stocks are in “deep value territory” as Friday trading saw continued declines, with the S&P 500 falling 1%.

    “After correcting for nearly 11 months, innovation stocks seem to have entered deep value territory,” she wrote in a blog post she said was intended to share ARK’s thought process."

    See this is the difference between these "hedge funds" and us, retail traders. When they have been losing money for 11 months, almost an entire year, their fund is in "deep value territory" and when we retail traders are losing money for almost an entire year, we are categorized as "not having a trading strategy", "a reckless gambler".

    Even though her innovation stocks are in losing money, the term that she uses to describe her losses is by far the most innovative one that I have ever heard. If she fails as a hedge fund manager, at least she will be a good writer, perhaps. LOL

    Cathie Wood's blog post here: https://ark-invest.com/articles/market-commentary/innovation-stocks-are-not-in-a-bubble/

    I'd repost it but it's a bit long to fit in a forum comment.
    She's swinging pretty hard against Ark's detractors in the piece saying, "investors, strategists, high frequency traders, and others – warning against mistakes made during the tech and telecom bubble.." are exhibiting mere "Pavlovian responses" that "will prove just as wrong as those in the early days of the coronavirus crisis."
    Worth a read if nothing else but to see what she's thinking right now.

    “Deep value territory”………me thinks synonymous with horrendous drawdowns.

    “We will not let benchmarks and tracking errors hold our strategies hostage to the existing world order”

    “creative destruction”

    “disruptive innovations”

    GOOD GRIEF!

    My thoughts exactly. The woman is in a bubble. What is most entertaining here is how she tries to make her bubble to be the reality by using such creative terms. LOL She is so wholeheartedly obsessed with stocks that she is convinced to be innovative that she is totally ignoring the risk of them being dud in that they don't pan out. She is putting all of her eggs into this one basket saying they must win, they must be working, they will work one day I can just feel it, everybody who is not investing in them are wrong... but what if she is wrong? What if they don't work? Now what? Are there any hedging strategies in place? Are there other diversified investments in other assets like Cash, Bonds, and etc. in the fund to catch her when she falls?

    To me, she is almost sounding like another Elizabeth Holmes...

  5. Well, she did not practice trade/risk management and justified her decision by praying to God (serious :D). Her investments are super risky.

    I thought her Robinhood trade was dumb the moment she put it on, plain bloody stupid, of all the thousands of stocks available, absolutely stupid imo.

  9. Reminds me of a sell-side big shot turned money manager and how-to-trade author in my neck of the woods. Great talker and salesman. Trader? Not so much.

    Her buzzwords sounded like genius when her funds were making new highs,
    'DNA sequencing, Robotics, AI, Blockchain tech, Energy Storage, the Genomic Revolution blah blah blah..'
    But now she sounds idiotic when her funds are making new lows 'Tax loss selling' 'Our style is out of favour' 'The market is shorting our strategy'
