Perfect Timing?
Buying when everyone agrees is easy. Buying when almost nobody does is the real test.
Cathie Wood made several notable portfolio moves this week.
One came just as SpaceX was navigating one of its most difficult stretches since going public.
Another involved selling one of the market’s biggest winners.
Here’s what she bought, what she sold, and why both trades immediately drew attention.

For the last 78 years, one thing has predicted a bull market…
With 100% accuracy…
The midterm election.
It doesn’t matter which party wins.
Or what the economic conditions are.
In war and in peace…
The 12 months following a midterm election are the most profitable.
This midterm will be no different.
And I just caught Wall Street sneaking money into two stocks — ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

The Money Was Split Almost Perfectly.
Cathie Wood didn’t make one oversized bet.
She split almost $29 million between just two companies.
→ TSMC – $14.2MÂ
→ SpaceX – $14.5MÂ
One manufactures the world’s most advanced AI chips.
The other is rapidly becoming one of their biggest customers.
That pairing probably wasn’t an accident.

Phase 2 of the AI Supercycle Has Arrived
Google’s DeepMind CEO says AI will be “10X bigger than the Industrial Revolution. And maybe 10X faster.”
Best-selling financial author Alexander Green has identified three companies positioned to soar.
He was right about Apple. In 1996. Under $1 a share.
He was right about Netflix. At $1.62.
He was right about Amazon. Under $2.
He warned his readers about the dot-com crash. One month before it peaked.
He warned about the housing crisis. Nine months before Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Now Alexander Green says the biggest wealth-creation event of his 40-year career is unfolding right now.
He calls it Phase 2 of the AI Supercycle.
And he’s identified three stocks he believes could dominate the next phase.
It All Happened In 72 Hours↓
Tuesday, Aug. 4 |
|---|
SpaceX reports its first earnings as a public company. Revenue beats expectations, but the company posts a $541 million net loss and reveals $15.8 billion in AI capital spending. |
Wednesday, Aug. 5 |
|---|
SpaceX sells off sharply. ARK Invest buys $14.5 million of shares during the decline. |
Thursday, Aug. 6 |
|---|
SpaceX’s first post-IPO lockup expires, making more than 900 million insider shares eligible to trade. |
!!! Meanwhile… Amazon Went The Other Way.
✱ To help fund those purchases, ARK trimmed several positions—including roughly $1.1 million of Amazon.
Hours later, Amazon reported stronger-than-expected quarterly results.
The stock went on to reach a fresh all-time high.
The sale was small relative to ARK’s overall portfolio, but the timing is hard not to notice.
→ One trade added to a stock entering one of its most uncertain weeks.
→ The other reduced exposure to a company that dropped double digits two days late.

President Trump just went on record: the AI data center buildout sweeping America is unstoppable. s Communities across the country have been pushing back – over rising electricity bills, strained water supplies, and projects landing next door to homes and schools. But the AI buildout isn’t slowing down. In fact, Elon Musk’s master plan – hidden inside SpaceX – avoids every obstacle. Analyst Rob Spivey says folks who understand what Elon is building – and why – could make a lot of money in the right stocks.

A Rotation… Or Just Portfolio Management?Â
âś± Every new position has to be funded somehow.
For ARK, that meant trimming a handful of familiar names.
One day’s trades don’t necessarily reveal a new investment strategy.
But the pattern is worth noticing.
ARK added to TSMC and SpaceX—two companies tied directly to building the physical infrastructure behind AI—while trimming positions in larger, more diversified technology companies.
Whether that’s a deliberate shift toward the AI “picks and shovels” layer or simply routine portfolio rebalancing isn’t clear.
Either way, the capital moved one step closer to the infrastructure powering the AI boom.

The Prophet’s” #1 Retirement Stock Right Now — Free
Whitney Tilson — the man CNBC calls “The Prophet,” twice featured on 60 Minutes — is revealing the name and ticker of what he calls America’s Greatest Retirement Stock.
Completely free.
It’s already outperformed Apple, Amazon, and the S&P 500 combined…
A billionaire put 60% of his $9 billion fund into it…
And Google’s former CEO just partnered with it directly.
Right now it’s trading at a rare discount.
⚠️ Wood Bought Three “Broken” Names.
Cathie Wood’s latest purchases weren’t all beaten-down stocks.
But none of them were obvious, low-drama trades either.
The three charts look very different.
Nvidia remains one of the market’s strongest AI leaders, trading just 10% below its all-time high.
SpaceX and Circle, meanwhile, have both seen much of their early post-IPO excitement fade.
The common thread isn’t that all three are cheap.
It’s that Wood appears willing to buy while the market is still debating the story.
Circle’s case, briefly:
Circle’s business looks very different from its stock chart.
More than 95% of its revenue comes from interest earned on the Treasury bills backing its stablecoin reserves—a model that can actually benefit from interest rates staying higher for longer.
In other words, the stock’s decline has reflected changing investor sentiment far more than a collapse in the underlying business.
One Big Unknown Remains.
More than 900 million previously locked-up SpaceX shares are now eligible to trade.
What happens next is far less certain.
→ Some investors worry the added supply could put further pressure on the stock if insiders decide to sell.
→ Others argue that, with shares trading below the $135 IPO price, many insiders may have little incentive to exit immediately.
Right now, nobody knows which force wins.
Cathie Wood’s purchase suggests she’s looking beyond the lockup itself—and betting the market is placing too much weight on a short-term technical event rather than the company’s long-term outlook.
