ARKK ETF Update
ARKK is having a rough start to 2026. After closing 2025 with a 35.49% return that crushed the S&P 500, Cathie Wood's flagship innovation fund has stumbled 9.58% lower year-to-date as of early February.
2 Growth ETFs That Just Went on Sale
It's been a rather rocky start to the year, especially if you're a tech investor who's a bit too heavy on the SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) names, which investors may think might be in for existential threats as the latest and greatest agentic AI technologies come into the prime.
ARKK: Buying Disruption At These Levels Is A Dangerous Game

ARK Innovation ETF: Time To Go All In
Hot take of the day: buy a fund that has climbed 111% in the past six months and that appears overbought. ARKK is exposed to the themes that I believe will create substantial value over the very long run.

ARKK And QQQM: More Reasons To Go With QQQM
Recent fund flow divergence signals higher perceived bubble risk in ARKK vs. QQQM, with ARKK seeing outflows and QQQM consistent inflows.
