ARK vs SARK: Another Way to Profit in a Downward Market

Every time the market takes a hit, tech stocks with high valuations bear the brunt of the decline. For example, Cathie Wood's Ark Innovation ETF is facing more setbacks, falling-- and this is over the past two days. Net lower it looks like by about 7.8% as the tech sell escalates.

It seems like there is no end in sight for the downturn in Cathie Wood's flagship Ark Innovation Fund. The ETF was front and center for the sell off that we've been seeing in equity markets these past few trading sessions. The tech focused fund plunged 10% in yesterday's session alone, deepening the already sharp losses that it's seen this year that began in late 2021.

The loss brings Ark down around 75% from its peak in February of last year, with all of its biggest components trading in the red year to date. This comes during a broader route in technology stocks that has been hitting the speculative innovation-focused assets that comprise Ark's holdings quite hard. But worth noting that ark is really bearing the brunt of this sell off fairing much worse than some other equity funds.

Time as 5/11

If we do it the other way around...

$Tuttle Capital Short Innovation ETF(SARK)$

SARK is an attractive opportunity that allows investors of all types to obtain short exposure to a concentrated portfolio of secular growth companies. 

However, there are something you need to know before you invest:

1. Expense Ratio is 0.75%: A good expense ratio, from the investor's viewpoint, is around 0.5% to 0.75% for an actively managed portfolio.

2. Large tracking error: Tracking error is the divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark.

3. Less Hedged Derivatives

Therefore, there is another way to short ARKK: 【Options】If only PUT one, this is it!

    Buy good profitable companies at cheap prices. Be extremely selective. Don’t panic sell. Be prepared to go in multiple tranches. Patiently wait for returns while the storm blows…

    Diversify with defensive/value stocks, e.g P&G, Coca Cola, infra, that are less likely to be impacted by the economic conditions.
    Buy only profitable companies with good operating cash flow & low debt

    If the company fundamental is good, then consider buying at lower cost. Otherwise, hold or cut loss.

    In a Downward market it is important to reaffirm our investing goals and review our portfolio.  In my case it is to create a passive income to achieve FIRE.  I realign my portfolio towards Defensive play.  That means I go for plain  vanilla ETFs like $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$  , $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$  .  I also allocate a portion to commodities like $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$  and $BetaShares Australian Res Sect ETF(QRE.AU)$  .

    I also invest in quality stocks like $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$  , $Apple(AAPL)$  and just stay calm and not panic sell.

    A Downward market is also a great opportunity to bargainhunt quality stocks too.  Just ask Warren Buffett.  He has been busy going on a stock shopping spree recently. 😍😍😍💰💰💰

    Sell covered calls on stocks u own to hedge against falls. If the falling persists, roll calls vertically downwards to gain more premiums while maintaining the hedge. [Cool]

      Rule 3 - Pick the very best of your good companies, and put the bulk of your investment there.
      Rule 4 - Think long term - 5 to 10 years, minimum.
      Rule 5 - Volatility happens. Carry on.

      Rule 1 - Concentrate your investmentsa in outstanding companies run by strong management.
      Rule 2 - Limit yourself to the number of companies you can truly understand. 10 = good, >20 = bad.

    Stay diversified. Ensuring you hold a diversified portfolio. It is time in the market – not timing the market – which is typically key to long term gains. @deal2deal @AhGong @nickname168

    Near term may rebound for ARKK as it down so much since peak in Feb 2021, thus it is not the time to short ARKK today, neither long ARKK. stay clear from ARKK until technical rebounce complete

      The idea is good but why do it when you can't make money ❓ Moreover, the ratio is 2:1. You paid 2X on the cost on every trade you made ❗
