Cathie Wood's ARK ETFs once again saw significant transactions on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, with a focus on technology and biotech stocks. The largest transaction of the day was the purchase of 738,367 shares of The Trade Desk Inc ( $TTD (+5,47 %) ) with a total value of $39,266,357. This move underscores ARK's continued confidence in the digital advertising platform, where the fund had already significantly increased its positions in recent days.

Another notable transaction involved Block Inc ( $SQ (+2,04 %) ), formerly known as Square. Here ARK sold 215,543 shares, representing a sizable value of $15,741,105. This sale represents one of the larger divestitures of the day and could indicate a strategic realignment of ARK's position towards the financial services and digital payments company.

ARK also made a significant purchase of 643,406 shares of Pinterest Inc ( $PINS ) worth $21,998,051. The social media company has repeatedly been in ARK's focus in the past, as evidenced by the continuous purchases over the past week. This trend points to a bullish assessment of Pinterest's growth prospects on the part of ARK.

In the biotech sector, ARK's ARK ETF purchased 128,896 shares of CRISPR Therapeutics AG ( $CRSP (+2,84 %) ) for a total value of $714,567, continuing its investment in the gene-editing company. On the flip side, various ARK ETFs divested shares of DraftKings Inc ( $DKNG (-0,47 %) ), Guardant Health Inc ( $GH (+3,02 %) ), Robinhood Markets Inc ($HOOD (+11,98 %) ), Palantir Technologies Inc ($PLTR (+0,35 %) ), Roblox Corp ( $RBLX ) and Shopify Inc ($SHOP (+5,43 %) ). The largest sell-off was DraftKings, with 221,203 shares worth $9,452,004 sold.

Other notable buys included Exact Sciences Corp ( $EXAS (-0,61 %) ) and Personalis Inc ( $PSNL (+5,04 %) ). ARK bought 93,753 and 134,035 shares worth $3,835,435 and $603,157 respectively. The continued purchases in these stocks could indicate a focused strategy targeting innovative healthcare companies.

Smaller transactions were also part of the day's activity. ARK bought shares in Compass Pathways PLC ( $CMPS (+1,11 %) ) and 10X Genomics Inc ( $TXG (-3,59 %) ). Despite the smaller dollar amounts, these purchases could be part of a long-term strategy that focuses on up-and-coming companies in the respective sectors.

Some of dear Cathie's transactions don't need to be understood but well, the young lady's returns speak for themselves.

$ARKK (+3,41 %) and $ARKF (+3,59 %) over 70% return since 365 days, I can only shine with +27% with my portfolio.

I will remain invested in $TTD (+5,47 %) My current portfolio has a lot of risk, as I have generated some cash.

At the moment I'm considering whether I should possibly $HMWO (-0,04 %) and $EQQQ (+0,11 %) or just the $VUSA (-0,07 %) into the portfolio.

Temporarily sold $AMD (+1,04 %) +35%, $HIMS (+0,78 %) +15%, $DOCN (+0,67 %) +9%.

I would re-enter Hims and AMD at certain prices and possibly add other companies to the portfolio if they fit my selection.

My positions:

$SOFI (-2,18 %)

$ZETA (+1,84 %)

$TTD (+5,47 %)

On the watchlist

$DDOG (+4,22 %)

$LNTH (-0,81 %)

$LMND (+5,3 %)

$TOST (-0,16 %)

$DASH (+3,58 %)

$BROS

$APLD (+1,62 %)

$SCI (+1,17 %)

$TXG (-3,59 %) Does anyone have any idea why some organic companies are soaring today?

What do you think of the share? If it comes back, up to 100 % beckon !!!!

First the first batch.

Following the surprise unveiling of the new "Panther" main battle tank in June, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger is now noting high demand. "By 2030, around 1000 of the 8000 main battle tanks in Europe will be replaced. We intend to supply at least half of these, or around 500, with the new Panther," said Armin Papperger. So far, he said, the model has been offered to representatives from more than 20 nations.

2. Chile's GDP growth is below estimates

Chile's economy grew 5.4% in the second quarter of 2022 from a year earlier, central bank data showed Thursday. Growth was driven by the services sector but was below expectations of economists polled by Reuters, who had expected a 5.7% increase.

The central bank said in a report that data varied across sectors. Personal care and transportation drove growth in the services sector, while mining and agriculture declined on an annual basis.

Asia🌏:

3rd Chinese automakers aim to conquer Europe

Two major Chinese automakers have now announced their entry into the German market: BYD and Great Wall Motor will launch their first electric cars on the German market in early 2023. The prices are a fighting declaration, the technical specifications are impressive. Models like BYD's Seal can be had in China for as little as 32,000 euros.

The largest Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles, BYD, will explain its European strategy for two days starting Monday in The Hague. The automobiles are probably just the beginning. According to Ralf Gaydoul, a partner at management consultancy Horváth, the first Chinese manufacturer could set up its own plant in Europe, if not Germany, in three years.
