how in gods name has cathie wood not run out of money yet

Cathie Wood Buys Tesla Stock. She May Be the Only One Who Doesn’t Hate the Shares Right Now.

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest bought up millions of dollars worth of Tesla this week as the stock finished a dismal quarter.

Wood’s Ark Innovation ETF bought 65,514 shares of Tesla, according to a trading notification Thursday. That cost around $14 million. The fund also bought 133,334 shares of the EV maker in an update Monday, which cost around $28 million.

Tesla is currently the second top holding in the ETF out of 38 stocks.

Wood, who is also responsible for the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF, Ark Fintech Innovation ETF, and ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF, looks to be taking advantage of a turbulent couple of months for Tesla. The stock was the worst performer in the S&P 500 for the first quarter, dropping 29%. That was Tesla’s worst quarter since December 2022 and worst first quarter on record.

she is, but back when crypto (and tesla, etc.) were the shiny investment thing de jure there were a ton of puff pieces in bloomberg and WSJ et. al. saying what a visionary she is and how bitcoin is going to the moon any day now blah blah so she's an investment genius

obviously market realities do not reflect her alleged genius. but i guess her reputation remains? as to why anyone still gives her anything, who the gently caress knows. tbh i don't know how she hasn't lost it all already

once someone manages to convince people they're a genius once, it doesn't matter what unbelievably foolish things they do from then on

a substantial portion of that audience will continue to insist forever that they're a genius, in spite of all evidence to the contrary
