Cathie Wood Offloads $5.5 Million in Surging Tech Stock
ARK Invest's Cathie Wood trimmed a position in a high-flying tech stock worth $5.5 million amid a notable price surge.
Cathie Wood, the founder and CEO of ARK Invest, sold approximately $5.5 million worth of a surging technology stock, according to a report from Yahoo Finance. The move signals a classic profit-taking strategy from one of Wall Street's most closely watched active fund managers, who has built a reputation for bold, high-conviction bets on disruptive innovation.
