By: Michael Mackenzie Earlier this week, and for no obvious reason, Cathie Wood s US$23 billion ($32b) flagship Ark investment innovation fund rose 10 per cent in a day. On Wall Street that kind of bounce is usually a warning sign of frothy markets, especially given Ark s recent price falls. Not for Wood. Buy the dip, is a catchphrase.
Wood is the public face of a speculative tech boom many liken to the dot.com boom and bust of the early 2000s. The success of Tesla and other technology stocks that Ark owns has, together with massive investor inflows, propelled the combined value of the five exchange traded funds she manages to US$60b from US$3b just a year ago.
