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 (-5,03%) ) 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 (-8,11%) ), 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 (-3,49%) ) 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 (-7,73%) ), Guardant Health Inc ( $GH (-1,74%) ), Robinhood Markets Inc ($HOOD (-9,88%) ), Palantir Technologies Inc ($PLTR (-7,09%) ), Roblox Corp ( $RBLX ) and Shopify Inc ($SHOP (-9,54%) ). The largest sell-off was DraftKings, with 221,203 shares worth $9,452,004 sold.

Other notable buys included Exact Sciences Corp ( $EXAS (-2,45%) ) and Personalis Inc ( $PSNL (-6,98%) ). 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 (-4,46%) ) and 10X Genomics Inc ( $TXG (-2,95%) ). 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 (-5,94%) and $ARKF (-6,33%) over 70% return since 365 days, I can only shine with +27% with my portfolio.

I will remain invested in $TTD (-5,03%) 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 (-3,69%) and $EQQQ (-4,82%) or just the $VUSA (-3,84%) into the portfolio.

Temporarily sold $AMD (-10,01%) +35%, $HIMS (-8,47%) +15%, $DOCN (-5,38%) +9%.

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

getquin Daily Summary 11.07.2022

Hello getquin,

Mercedes delivers fewer cars, Twitter deal canceled, and India overtakes China in population! Here's what's on your MarketNews today.

Europe🌍:

1. Mercedes supplies less cars

Mercedes-Benz sales fell significantly in the second quarter due to a shortage of computer processors and the Corona closure in China. Mercedes-Benz said Monday that the Stuttgart-based automaker delivered 490,000 fewer passenger cars, or 16 percent, from April to June than in the same period last year.

Production and deliveries were slowed by a shortage of parts and transportation problems caused by the Chinese lockdown, which affected the key commercial port in Shanghai, for example. This also affected the highly profitable top models, especially at the AMG sports car division, where electronic chips were missing. China, the most important single market, recorded the biggest drop in sales, down 25% to 163,700 units. In Europe, sales were down 10% to 154,300 cars.

Asia🌏:

3. India overtakes China as the most populous country in 2023

According to the university, India is expected to overtake China as the world's most populous country in 2023. According to the latest UN projections, the world population could reach about 8.5 billion in 2030 and 10.4 billion in 2100. In a statement, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke of a "shared responsibility for our planet."

Currently, India has a population of 1.39 billion: https://cnb.cx/3AGCi4Y

getquin Daily Summary 30.09.2022

Hello getquin,

today we talk about EU support for car emissions, a new plan to make stocks, startups and co. more attractive and the extension of Disney's CEO.

Feel free to write your opinion in the comments!

Europe🌍:

1. EU countries support plan for passenger car emissions

European Union countries have endorsed a push to eliminate carbon emissions from new cars by 2035, signaling the end of the internal combustion engine era.

Environment ministers agreed on the proposal after Italy, home of Ferrari and Automobili Lamborghini, waived a requirement for a five-year delay in the EU's plan to convert its car fleet. Italian Minister for Environmental Change Roberto Cingolani told his counterparts Tuesday he was "satisfied" with a compromise proposed by Germany that would allow the use of carbon-neutral fuels after 2035.

2 Germany to make stocks, startups, IPOs and SPACs more attractive

German finance and justice ministers on Wednesday unveiled a plan to make the country's financial markets more attractive to investors and improve access to capital for startups and high-growth companies.

Among other things, the plan calls for lowering the minimum capital requirements for an IPO to 1 million euros ($1.05 million) from the current 1.25 million euros and increasing the exemption amount for employee shareholdings to 5,000 euros from 1,440 euros.

Now that's interesting! https://reut.rs/3NrEzUp

3rd Disney board of directors approves extension of CEO Bob Chapek

Despite the company's disastrous start in 2022 under his leadership, Disney's board of directors has unanimously voted to extend current CEO Bob Chapek's contract for another three years. Disney's board of directors confirmed the result of its vote on June 28, fully backing Chapek despite the fact that his actions have earned the House of Mouse a bad reputation in the public eye and a devaluation in the billions of dollars.
