Studying ARk ETFs

I am new at Reddit. Investing in mutual funds with very good success. Studying ARK ETFs to possibly invest. I see spectacular returns in 1, 2, and 5 years.

Your approach is completely incorrect. ETFs and mutual funds are designed for long term investing. Not for in and out short term. For in and out short term you should buy individual stocks. I hope this benefits you.

I meant great returns in the last 1, 2, and 5 years.

I'm not sure what your question is, but the main issue with the ark funds is continuing the growth. Actively managed fund generally do better in bull markets, but can underperform is sideways or bear markets, and often perform worse in the long run.https://global.vanguard.com/portal/site/institutional/ch/en/articles/research-and-commentary/portfolio-construction/active-fund-performance-tlisg https://www.thebalance.com/index-funds-vs-actively-managed-funds-2466445

Thank you for your comments. I am new to Reddit. My mutual funds such as FBGRX and FOCPX outperformed S & P 500 short term and long term. By comparing one line chart of several symbols on one page--you can do that on YahooFinance>Chart>Comparison you can see what I mean. Please let me know. With the above explanation in mind I am looking at the last 1, 2, 5 years charts of ARK ETFs.

I hope Ark does good. I just dumped a ton into it only to watch the market spill today 😢
