About

Investing in innovation starts with understanding it. My name is Alex. Before becoming a full-time investor, I spent 8 years as a rocket scientist at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I hold a BE in Electrical Engineering, an ME in Systems Engineering & Optimization, and an unfinished PhD in Image Processing & Computer Vision. Now, I use my engineering background to research AI, semiconductors, and other advanced technologies, invest in them, and cover it all on this channel.

Video Description

After strong words from #CathieWood earlier this year, #ARKInvest finally completely sold out of #Illumina (#ILMN) stock. Just 4 months ago, it was #ARK Invest's 7th biggest position overall, being the 8th biggest holding in #ARKK and the 4th biggest holding in #ARKG. This makes for a great case study of what it looks like when ARK Invest *actually* loses conviction in a major holding and decides to sell out! In this video, I show how Cathie Wood and ARK Invest's conviction on Illumina has changed between August and December 2020. Then, I walk through exactly how ARK Invest sold out of the position, which looks very different than the sell-offs that typically get a lot of attention. After that, I give some advice on what YOU can do with all of this information and how you should use it going forward.
