What Did ARK Invest Buy This Week? 08/20

It was one of the busiest weeks of trading investors have seen from ARK Invest in a long time as Cathie Wood and Co. broke out the checkbook

Things are still just not going smoothie for ARK Invest or its flagship ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK), which is down more than 20% in the past six months. 

Things weren’t helped this week after CEO Cathie Wood got into a war of words with Michael Burry, the Scion Asset Management head of ‘The Big Short’ fame. 

Burry has taken a short position against Wood’s ARK Innovation ETF,  taking 2,355 put contracts against the red-hot tech ETF which grew 153% in 2020. Wood was quick to comment on the bet, tweeting on Tuesday:

“To his credit, Michael Burry made a great call based on fundamentals and recognized the calamity brewing in the housing/mortgage market. I do not believe that he understands the fundamentals that are creating explosive growth and investment opportunities in the innovation space.”

I guess time will tell…
