Mentioned in Video:

⚠️ #JimCramer told investors to short #CathieWood and the#ARKInvest funds by buying SARK, the fund that shorts #ARKK. Just 3 days later, #CNBC released an article saying Jim Cramer actually likes @ARK Invest‘s top holdings — specifically in the ARKK ETF, like TSLA, ROKU, and PLTR stock. In this episode, I'll break down the exact issue with #CNBC commentary on Cathie Wood and tech stocks, as well as how to find the best stocks to buy now.

Video Transcript:



00:00
you pour the sark over the ark and you
00:03
bet that they all drown and no one gets
00:07
out
00:09
alive
00:11
it's a strange time for growth stocks
00:13
that cnbc clip is from just six days ago
00:16
and in true jim cramer fashion rk was up
00:18
around 15 percent after he uh whatever
00:21
that was financial entertainers make
00:23
their money in entertainment not finance
00:26
for example jim cramer's show is a sales
00:28
funnel for memberships to cnbc's
00:30
investing club financial entertainment
00:32
isn't bad that mad money episode was
00:34
pretty exciting to watch but as an
00:36
investor you should always ask yourself
00:38
this question am i watching
00:39
entertainment right now or am i using
00:41
this information to make an investment
00:44
decision in this episode i'm going to
00:45
show you the difference between
00:47
financial entertainment and information
00:49
your time is valuable so let's get right
00:51
into it starting with the entertainment
00:53
side of things here's a quick super cut
00:55
of cnbc's recent coverage of arkhanvest
00:57
on their january 27th episode of mad
01:00
money do me a favor and pay attention to
01:02
it like it was financial information
01:04
like your portfolio depended on it you
01:06
know what i know that people hate me
01:09
when i just say stay the course
01:13
or stay put
01:15
during a correction nobody wants your
01:17
state of course they want action yeah
01:20
they want an excuse to sell everything
01:22
and then circle back at a lower level
01:24
the right level i can't play them
01:26
however if you are the more conceptual
01:27
names the formerly huge winners betting
01:29
that they be the next tesla or the next
01:31
amazon or apple these are typically
01:33
money losing companies that stocks trade
01:35
on basis of sales not earnings because
01:37
there are no earnings now some of them
01:39
do make money but they've gone out of
01:40
style the wall street fashion show
01:42
because they're still revenue growth
01:43
stories and i don't know when they're
01:44
going to come back you know it's really
01:46
a double whammy the twin matadors of
01:48
inflation and pending rate hikes either
01:50
one could behead these stocks but both
01:52
as overkill now this market's been down
01:54
for a long time i use the s p
01:57
proprietary oscillator to monitor the
01:59
selling pressure i go over it at 10 20
02:01
each morning uh in my morning meeting
02:04
with jeff marks you got to watch this
02:05
this is remember the club you can't see
02:07
it otherwise and it's going to be
02:08
stunning when i show it tomorrow and we
02:10
talk about it you should not be betting
02:12
on these stocks in fact you actually
02:15
might want to
02:16
bet against them
02:18
how do you do it ladies and gentlemen
02:20
let me introduce you to the ultimate
02:23
hedge let me introduce you to the ark
02:26
more specifically the ark innovation etf
02:29
which is run by kathy wood the best
02:31
money manager of 2020 albeit not 2021
02:34
and probably not 2022. now wood owns
02:37
this is the ark okay
02:38
wood owns a ton of textbook growth names
02:41
a tesla teledoc zoom video roku coinbase
02:46
it's kind of a curious amalgam of
02:49
animals pandemic plays cryptocurrency
02:51
enablers medical health breakthrough
02:53
companies cost savers in a streaming
02:55
music service
02:57
woods favorites are often profitable
02:58
their stocks have only recently begun to
03:00
lose you money because their momentum
03:02
plays that now have lost their momentum
03:03
i have a brutal solution for you it's
03:07
called the tunnel capital short
03:09
innovation etf its symbol is sarc
03:12
s-a-r-k and it literally shorts whatever
03:15
kathy goes along it's
03:17
frankly too cruel even for me but man i
03:20
want to think of the sark etf as the
03:22
scotch that happened to my parents
03:24
choice
03:25
sark as in cuddy sark yep you can buy
03:28
some sarc and hedge your position if
03:30
you're worried this correction will
03:31
continue then stay the course in the
03:33
stocks that are holding up and then you
03:34
use this thing to bet against the growth
03:36
stocks that are the center of the blast
03:38
radius the ark so here's the bottom line
03:42
you pour the sark over the ark and you
03:45
bet that they all drown and no one gets
03:49
out
03:51
alive
03:53
let's take some costs the clear action
03:55
to take here is to bet against growth
03:57
stocks in general and kathy woods stock
03:59
picks specifically by buying tuttle
04:01
capital's short innovation etf ticker
04:04
symbol s-a-r-k what are the biggest
04:06
holdings that sarc is betting against
04:08
wood owns a ton of textbook growth names
04:11
a tesla teledoc zoom video
04:14
roku coinbase got it so here's an
04:17
article that cnbc's mad money released
04:20
on february 1st just three market days
04:22
later quote jim cramer says he likes
04:24
most of the ark innovation etf's top
04:26
holdings after the growth stock meltdown
04:29
cnbc's jim cramer said tuesday that he
04:31
likes the setup in most of the largest
04:33
positions in kathy wood's arc innovation
04:36
etf rk tesla teledoc zoom video roku and
04:40
coinbase as well as why they're worthy
04:42
considerations for your money and
04:44
honestly all five of these are pretty
04:46
good super quick takes tesla doesn't
04:48
have meaningful competition teledoc has
04:50
a huge network and is down 70 percent
04:53
zoom is permanently embedding itself in
04:54
the enterprise and it's surprising that
04:56
roku has fallen 60 percent because it's
04:59
a lucrative business with a great
05:00
balance sheet and a clear path to
05:02
international expansion coinbase is the
05:04
only decent option for a publicly traded
05:06
proxy for crypto and it's also down
05:09
almost 50 percent from all-time highs
05:11
this looks like financial information
05:13
but it's the exact opposite of what jim
05:15
cramer said just three market days
05:17
earlier and that's for a couple
05:19
different reasons first off jim cramer
05:21
is a trader not an investor that's not a
05:23
bad thing but it does mean that he
05:25
thinks about returns on a much shorter
05:27
time horizon he thinks in terms of weeks
05:29
and quarters not years or decades second
05:32
jim cramer is an entertainer financial
05:34
entertainers have no need to be
05:36
consistent they make money by ratings
05:38
and views and selling courses and
05:40
memberships and other products and
05:41
services like access to their inner
05:43
circle they're not pitching you
05:45
investments they're pitching you
05:47
themselves keep watching me keep buying
05:50
from me learn to think like me here's
05:52
jim cramer's pitch now this market's
05:54
been down for a long time i use the s p
05:58
proprietary oscillator to monitor the
06:00
selling pressure i go over it at 10 20
06:02
each morning
06:04
in my morning meeting with jeff marks
06:05
you got to watch this this is remember
06:07
the club you can't see it otherwise and
06:09
it's going to be stunning when i show it
06:10
tomorrow and we talk about it that's it
06:12
those 15 seconds is why that whole clip
06:14
existed it's got nothing in common with
06:17
the article that jimmy put out just
06:18
three days later except
06:20
oh what's this sign up now for the cnbc
06:22
investing club to follow jim cramer's
06:25
every move in the market if you're
06:26
wondering whether the investing content
06:28
you watch is information or
06:29
entertainment just look at which parts
06:31
are consistent if it's the pitch to join
06:33
a club or buy a product chances are it's
06:36
entertainment if it's the actual content
06:38
like somebody's ideas about the future
06:40
their framework or their investment
06:41
thesis in it chances are it's
06:44
information and this past month the
06:46
information itself has been pretty
06:47
exciting
06:48
so let's get into it starting with kathy
06:50
wood's combined positions sitting right
06:52
at the top are the stocks that jim
06:54
cramer wants you to buy and or short
06:56
tesla teledoc coinbase zoom and roku as
06:59
i've been consistently saying for months
07:01
now kathy wood has been slowly selling
07:03
tesla and buying teledoc in their funds
07:06
arc invest currently holds over 14
07:08
million shares of teledoc valued at
07:11
almost 2.2 billion dollars today even at
07:14
its currently low valuation making it
07:16
their second biggest position overall
07:18
only after tesla in fact if you look at
07:20
the changes in their top five combined
07:22
positions their share count and teledoc
07:24
increased by a higher percentage than
07:26
tesla square roku and shopify put
07:30
together over the last 90 days but those
07:32
14 million shares actually tell me
07:34
something else the title of that episode
07:36
is kathy wood has a new favorite and
07:38
arkhamvest buys it over tesla stock and
07:40
i get it it's not earning me any brownie
07:42
points with the tesla or the investing
07:44
community but it's what's really
07:46
happening so i feel i have an obligation
07:48
to tell you about it the first time i
07:49
noticed this pattern was back in may of
07:51
2021 so i made that deep dive episode on
07:54
teledoc and have been covering
07:55
arkhanvas's position in it pretty
07:57
closely ever since now eight months
07:59
later my position on teledoc has not
08:02
changed good or bad i think a lot of
08:03
kathy wood's fame comes from
08:05
arkhanvest's early call on tesla and
08:07
many people feel she rode tesla's
08:09
performance all the way to the top
08:10
through 2020. what the market is missing
08:12
is that arc invest's best performing
08:14
fund in 2020 was actually arcg arc
08:17
invests fund themed around the genomic
08:19
revolution arcg brk and arcw by double
08:23
digit percentage points in fact my sixth
08:26
video ever was about the revolution
08:28
going on in the gene editing space and
08:29
why arcgi was arc invest's best
08:32
performing fund even though it doesn't
08:34
hold tesla arc invest's best performing
08:36
stock i'm not trying to toot my own horn
08:38
here okay maybe a little i'm trying to
08:41
show you what long-term data-driven
08:43
self-consistent informational content
08:45
looks like compared to financial
08:47
entertainment my stance on teledoc has
08:50
not changed even though it dropped over
08:52
70 percent since i started covering it
08:55
so if you're interested in what i think
08:56
the market is missing on teledoc their
08:58
acquisition of lavongo and arc invests
09:01
research on the two check out that deep
09:03
dive i'll leave it in the top right hand
09:05
corner of your screen right now and in
09:07
the description below as well so here's
09:09
my question to investors can we
09:11
logically believe that arkhamvest got
09:13
lucky with tesla in 2020 when their best
09:16
performing fund that year didn't hold it
09:18
if you believe that call on tesla was
09:20
thanks to research and not luck that
09:22
same research machine is now holding
09:24
teledoc stock at the same weight as
09:26
tesla let's take a look at arc investors
09:28
trading data over the last month to see
09:30
what else their research has caused them
09:32
to buy and sell more recently this is a
09:34
table of arc invests combined holdings
09:36
each row is one company the rows are
09:38
ordered by the size of kathy wood's
09:39
position in that company and each
09:41
position is colored by its change in
09:43
size since january relative to the
09:45
change in arc invests assets under
09:47
management in january arkhamvest's
09:49
assets under management fell by 6.8
09:51
billion dollars or 22 percent so each
09:54
position is blue if it fell by more than
09:56
22 percent and green if it shrank by
09:58
less than 22 percent or even if it grew
10:01
here we are again arc invest sold 9.6
10:04
percent of their tesla shares and
10:06
tesla's price fell over 20 percent so
10:08
arc invest is holding around 30 less
10:10
money in tesla than they were at the
10:12
start of january on the other hand kathy
10:14
wood bought a little more teledoc
10:17
coinbase zoom and a lot more roku as
10:20
these stocks went down by double digits
10:22
it looks like jim cramer agrees and or
10:24
disagrees with kathy wood's top choices
10:26
depending on which minute you ask him if
10:28
we sort this table by change in share
10:30
count instead we can see which stocks
10:32
cathy would bought the most of as all
10:33
growth stocks continue to slide i'm
10:36
going to focus on only the top 50
10:37
holdings by rank for now since those
10:39
should be the ones that arc and best has
10:41
the highest conviction in so kathy would
10:43
heavily bought the dip on c limited
10:45
roblox ginkgo bioworks robin hood
10:48
intelia therapeutics block and roku she
10:51
also bought the dip a little bit on
10:52
coinbase draftkings twilio and zoom if
10:55
we flip this table we can see what
10:57
stocks arch invest has been selling out
10:59
of we can see that they completely sold
11:01
out of netflix pin duo duo and 10 cent
11:03
over the last month their share prices
11:05
didn't actually go down by 100 percent
11:07
they're just not an arkhamvest dataset
11:09
anymore after they got sold so all of my
11:11
code fills this in with zeros arc and
11:13
best sold almost all of their shares in
11:15
taquito pharmaceuticals snapchat skills
11:18
and docusign resulting in these huge
11:20
changes in rank almost every stock on
11:22
this part of the list is down by double
11:24
digits and arc invest decided to sell a
11:26
big chunk of each instead of buying the
11:28
dip resulting in these big drops in
11:30
overall positions however none of these
11:33
stocks were too high ranking to begin
11:34
with which makes sense because kathy
11:36
wood drops her lowest conviction stocks
11:38
for the highest conviction ones when
11:40
everything goes on sale since i did a
11:42
deep dive on skills in the past i went
11:44
back to see what caused this massive
11:46
change in conviction the two things that
11:48
i found at a glance were that skills
11:50
recently raised 300 million dollars by
11:52
selling senior secured notes at a 10.25
11:55
percent discount which is like taking a
11:57
loan at over an 11 rate what do they
12:00
need that money so bad for that they're
12:02
willing to borrow it at such a high cost
12:04
what if they need to borrow even more
12:05
money as interest rates rise as they're
12:08
literally about to the other issue
12:10
appears to be how skills accounts for
12:11
marketing spend and reductions in
12:13
revenue under gaap rules gaap stands for
12:17
generally accepted accounting principles
12:19
and it's how every publicly traded
12:20
company reports their finances basically
12:23
skills calls incentives for new players
12:25
reductions in revenue skills calls bonus
12:27
cash offers and other incentives for
12:29
existing players sales and marketing
12:31
costs i won't lie to you i don't know
12:34
every gap rule out there but i do know
12:35
that when you're a publicly traded
12:37
company messing around with accounting
12:39
never looks good in fairness if you're
12:41
interested in seeing skill side of this
12:42
accounting issue you can check out the
12:44
end of their latest investor
12:46
presentation where they go over their
12:47
accounting for end user incentives with
12:49
detailed examples you should decide for
12:52
yourself if that helps their cause or
12:54
not i'll keep digging but honestly
12:56
borrowing money at an incredibly high
12:58
rate and raising questions about
12:59
accounting are probably enough to make
13:01
kathy wood look elsewhere the other sale
13:04
i want to cover is palantir because i've
13:06
been getting a lot of tweets and
13:07
comments about it a lot first off
13:09
palantir is still a top 20 position at
13:12
arc invest it actually went up one rank
13:14
over january kathy wood net sold a
13:17
whopping six percent of her shares the
13:19
word net is important here here's how
13:22
that sale broke down fund by fund she
13:24
sold over ninety percent of the
13:26
pallentier shares in arcg and arc f and
13:28
about 23 of the shares in rw she
13:31
actually added eight percent more shares
13:33
of palantir in rq fourteen percent more
13:36
in arc x and six point three percent
13:38
more paladier shares to rk
13:40
you know the highest conviction flagship
13:42
innovation fund the one that jim cramer
13:45
likes and or wants to drown wow that
13:47
really never gets less weird what can
13:49
palantir getting sold out of three funds
13:51
and getting bought in the other three
13:53
tell us about arkhanvest's conviction in
13:56
my opinion this means that as every
13:57
genomic and fintech stock goes down in
14:00
price there are better or at least more
14:02
pure play options in these spaces than
14:04
pound here pounds here getting sold out
14:05
of arc w is also pretty interesting to
14:08
me since i figured that's a fund that
14:10
palantir would fit pretty strongly into
14:12
that doesn't make pound here a bad stock
14:14
it just means that it got traded out for
14:16
companies that are considered more pure
14:18
play in those spaces the biggest
14:20
increases in arc w by shear count were
14:23
in c limited ticker symbol se and
14:26
cloudflare ticker symbol and et both of
14:28
which are also pretty big positions in
14:30
my own portfolio and guess what palantir
14:33
stock price fell by less than c limiteds
14:35
and cloud flares which could have
14:37
something to do with it seeing pounds
14:38
here get more shares in rk rq and arc x
14:42
tells me that kathy woods still has high
14:43
conviction in the company in general and
14:45
that it's making meaningful impacts in
14:47
the robotics and space areas
14:49
specifically that makes at least a
14:51
little sense to me since kathy wood
14:53
often says that palette here is going to
14:54
keep pushing computing out to the edge
14:57
volunteer has
14:58
the opportunity
15:00
to usurp a lot of aws azure
15:06
google compute
15:08
over time it is pushing uh artificial
15:11
intelligence out to the edge that edge
15:14
means devices like cars and robots and
15:17
drones and satellites and all the other
15:19
cool technologies that balance your
15:21
solutions and platforms can get deployed
15:23
on and don't necessarily touch the cloud
15:25
we'll see if that theory ends up shaking
15:27
out but that's my current guess if you
15:29
want to share your thoughts on palantir
15:31
or any other growth stock or
15:33
cryptocurrency for that matter you're

these days hopefully this episode gave
16:14
you some food for thought on
16:15
entertainment versus information with
16:17
what i think are good examples of each
16:20
there's nothing wrong with entertainment
16:21
on cnbc or on youtube and not all
16:25
information is useful information but
16:27
there is a real danger in mistaking one
16:29
for the other and i encourage you to
16:30
really think about the consistency of
16:32
the investors you choose to follow so
16:35
stay long stay strong and thanks for
