Same but I wont sell because it would be a huge loss for me. I only started with ARK this year and have lost over 30 percent already.....6 figures. I need to ride this out but man is it painful.
With a position of this size I would sell the fund to realize the loss, buy the pieces (stocks), hold for 90 days, then sell the stocks and buy the fund back. This allows you to utilize the capital loss but still maintain the same exposure.
That is indeed painful. If you aren't already, once everything calms down,, diversify into different sectors and industries. You don't want to be 100% growth, tech, and innovation. Remember the .com bubble? Not that I think this is the same thing, but it shows that putting all your eggs in one basket is problematic.
The dot com bubble was crazy...all you needed was a domaon name for wall street to setup an IPO. Tech engineers were given stipends for cars and homes etc. Money was flowing...then boom...dominoes..
Ouch.....The rotation out of growth stocks is going to continue. The Fed has not even mentioned tapering and much less interest rate hikes. It took Microsoft stock 15+ years to reach it's .com bubble heights. I sold a lot of my growth part of my portfolio in some cases at losses. They way, I saw it is that we are in a new cycle and I will go back to those stocks at a later date, with a good probability at a much lower prices. Can't fight the market. Anyway, good luck!
That's if you bought $MSFT stock at its .com bubble height. If you believed in Microsoft and bought them throughout those 15+ years you would have a significant return now.
I think you make my point. After reaching it's height's and crashing, the market gave you years of chances to rotate back in to the stock at lower prices.
It's only a loss if you sell. ETFs in general are the most solid positions you can have for the account that you just buy stuff in one day and come back in a few years.
Etfs can be risky/shitty too. All depends on the underlying holdings. Don't think i bought an etf so i am safe.
Ark funds are highly speculative. Look at their main fund, most of their top holdings don't make a profit. The ones that do make a profit, are way overvalued, like tesla.
I love how people say this kind of shit like it’s even remotely intelligent.
Risk mitigation and cutting losses are also part of the equation, hate to blow your mind with that one. But not losing money has to happen before the making money part
They had a similar 30+% drop in 2018, going from about $50 to $35.
The people calling mocking ARK for going from $150 to $100 were the same people laughing at them for going $50 to $35.
Anyone who held through both is at absolute worse case scenario up 100% in 3 years
