1) There were a lot of could's, possibly's and potential's in this analysis.
2) ARKK holds less tech stocks than the S&P 500
3) There is little doubt that the fund and possibly the fund manager are riding a wave. What will happen next is all spe…
Honestly I'm not sure that you'll find fund firms that excel in certain areas/sectors/spaces like back in the days of yore. There is so much readily available info and data in the global economy era and plenty of computers and analysts that know wha…

My son, a 40-yr old super healthy airman, experienced the chills, dizzyness, body aches/joint pain, and headaches others have mentioned after each injection of the Moderna vaccine as others have reported.

I've tried investing in the financial sector from time to time and my experience has been that it most often ends up as a dead or losing proposition. I've taken…
A couple of thoughts.
