3 ETFs Smart Money Is Loading up on Right Now
Smart money isn't always smart, and following it blindly is unlikely to pay off.
5 ETFs That Gained Investors' Love Last Week
ETFs pulled in $38B last week, led by QQQ, VOO, ARKK, ETHA and VCIT as cooling inflation and rate-cut hopes boosted markets.
ARKK Vs. QQQ: Here Is Why I Prefer QQQ
ARKK's active management fails to generate statistically significant alpha, making its high fees unjustified versus passive alternatives. QQQ, a passive ETF with a lower expense ratio, has outperformed ARKK over the long term and shows mild, occasional outperformance. Given current market conditions and QQQ's strong recovery, I recommend holding QQQ rather than switching to ARKK.
Cathie Wood's ARK ETFs See Record Investor Rush
Cathie Wood's ARK ETFs, ARKK and ARKW, roar back with record single-day inflows, flipping 2025 flows from deep red to billions in the black.
Dividend Growth Is My Antidote To Uncertainty
In an uncertain market, I stick to five core investing principles: stay the course, specialize, diversify, trust proven experts, and keep some cash. Dividend growth investing (DGI) remains my strategy, with a focus on reliable cash flow compounding and growing dividends to eventually replace labor income. I diversify beyond my real estate core by blending passive DGI ETFs and selecting active ETFs with proven outperformance.
ARKK: Chasing Short-Term Momentum Is Not Worth The Risk
ARKK's performance over the past 3-month period might seem impressive, but it is hardly a reason enough to own the ETF. The ETF still has a long way to go before its risk-adjusted performance is at par with that of the S&P 500. Unfortunately, the drivers behind the recent rally might not last long once we take a closer look into the recent melt-up in equities.
ARKK Is Making A Comeback, Don't Miss Out
ARKK delivered top performance in 2Q25, driven by aggressive bets on AI and crypto stocks, notably Circle Internet and Tempus AI. Despite recent outflows, strong returns and sector momentum could attract new investor capital and reverse the fund flow picture. ARKK's concentrated portfolio in disruptive sectors like AI, crypto, and EVs offers high upside but carries significant sector risk.
