Cathie Wood’s Shopping List for the Tech Stock Sell-Off  

By now almost every investor knows the name Cathie Wood.

She runs ARK Funds, the largest actively traded ETF, and her trades have almost reached cult status as billions flow into her funds.

They recently reached the $50 billion milestone.

In South Korea, retail investors have even given her the nickname "Money Tree." Her funds have gotten so large that in many cases she owns more than 10% of a company's outstanding shares, an impressive feat for even the biggest fund managers.

And the fact that many of her funds are up over 200% since the lows in March of 2020, easily outpacing the broader markets, hasn't hurt either.

In short, when she makes trades, people follow.

To help our readers find out which stocks Cathie Wood is buying that deserve a spot in your portfolio, we've put together a list of our three favorite ARK stocks you can own at a discount...

What to Do as Bitcoin Hits $44,000 (and the S&P 500)

This Top Fintech Stock Could Outperform Affirm, PayPal, and Square

It is amazing to think Western Union debuted the first electronic fund transfer 150 years ago in 1871.

Today, it's grown into an entire industry of it's own: fintech.

Now the industry today is much more than sending payments.

It's managing funds, trading stocks, cryptocurrency, lending, payment plans and much more, all conducted through apps on your phone or on a computer.

Now, I'm looking at another fintech opportunity for our readers.

It's one you won't want to miss...

Markets Live Recap: Stocks Rise Despite 3.17 Million More Unemployment Claims

The U.S. weekly jobless claims number increased another 3.17 million people (versus the 3.05 million expected by economists) today.

That brings the total to 33.5 million Americans unemployed over the last seven weeks.

Stocks shook off the news, however, as the Dow rallied 0.9%.

The Nasdaq rose 1.4% as investors buy into technology stocks that are less likely to be affected by government shutdowns.

Oil was up 10% in the first half of trading, but closed down 3% in a volatile session.

And interestingly enough, gold was up 2% while Bitcoin popped 6%.
