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
Aug. 20, 2021
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…
