We tried warning everyone and everyone hated us for it 🤷‍♀️

Cathie walked away a billionaire from this.

“Losing money during a roaring bull market is quite a feat. But these 10 fund managers have made it look almost easy.

A team of analysts at Morningstar last week published a ranking of the fund-management shops that have incinerated the most investor capital over the past decade.

Their analysis focused not only on the worst-performing managers of mutual funds or exchange-traded products, but also the 15 mutual funds, or exchange-traded products, believed to be the worst offenders — although a few categories were excluded from their analysis. Their income payouts complicated Morningstar’s analysis, the team said.

The worst-performing manager? Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest. The shop, best known for betting on companies like Tesla Inc. , Roku Inc. and Block Inc. , has destroyed $13.4 billion over the past decade, according to Morningstar’s calculations.

Fund family Value destroyed over the past decade
ARK ($13.36 billion)
Kraneshares ($6.66 billion)
Barclays ($4.34 billion)
AdvisorShares ($2.71 billion)
GlobalX ($1.78 billion)
ETF Managers ($1.21 billion)
Amplify ($998.36 million)
Brookfield ($730.57 million)
LJM Funds ($606.60 million)
Eagle MLP ($361.92 million)

That shouldn’t come as a surprise to regular readers of the financial press. Wood earned widespread notoriety during the COVID-19-era stock-market boom as many of her firm’s biggest holdings soared.

Her flagship, the ARK Innovation ETF, rallied nearly 150% in 2020. But by the end of 2021, Wood’s hot streak had fizzled. The innovation fund ended that year down 24%, before tallying a brutal 67% drop during the 2022 bear market.”

Office work, under constant exposure to blue light and suffering under an unbearable boss, is one of the greatest affronts to humanity today.

From basic to beyond reach: $19K in the '60s to $750K in 2022. See how the housing market has turned a fundamental need into a luxury, altering the dream of homeownership. The ladder of economic mobility has shattered, leaving many families behind.

Between the comfort of Mediocristan and the challenges of Extremistan lies a fundamental choice.

The wise understand that creating luck is the result of bold decisions.

The system keeps many trapped in Mediocristan, offering false security at the cost of true potential.

Explore, innovate, take risks: in your hands lies the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
