Q: Hi Peter,

I am not a big fan of ARKK or Cathie Wood. On a year-to-date basis, ARKK has fallen more than 50%. But I am fascinated with Cathie’s all or nothing investment approach. ARKK invests in disruptive technology firms. Her high risk and high reward investment style reminds me of Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell in the movies Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. You either reach Mach 10 or crash and burn!

My question for your team relates to ARKK’s top ten holdings: ZM, TSLA, ROKU, CRSP, EXAS, TDOC, PATH, NTLA, SQ, and BEAM. Which of these stocks have fallen sufficiently so that a high-risk investor can safely purchase them for a five-to-ten-year hold? Also, what is your ranking of these ten high tech disruptive companies? Living life in the “danger zone” has its attractions.

Thanks,

George

Q: Terrible markets with NQ in bear space. NVTA,PATH, PLTR,BL are at/near new lows. Reportedly PLTR reports before open,May 9. All in Investment a/c.,except BL in Tfsa. Thinking of selling at a loss before they get worse,which maybe offset by potential capital gain of other stocks at a later date. Appreciate u short view on each. Txs for u usual great views & services.

Q: I'm interested in purchasing some stocks directly engaged in the IIOT and "industrial automation revolution" happening across many sectors worldwide. I prefer software companies with high TAM, dominant businesses (or the potential to be dominant), profitable, and good management. I understand purchasing the ARKQ ETF is one way to achieve this, but for a .75% fee it seems expensive. Also, I don't like that the fund weights Tesla, Alphabet, and Baidu so heavily. Of the above companies, how would you rank them as long term buys right now? Am I missing any here that you really like?
