Thank you
Amazing.. Thanks Cathie..
Great video loved it!
What’s crazy is everyone called Cathie crazy for her thought process for tens of years. At the end of the day the ones who actually didn’t dismiss her saw for themselves she’s brilliant. She’s someone I would never bet against.
You guys all realize she only does this to steer the market in a direction that makes her money, right? They all do. Sure, a helpful youtube video here and there. Why not. But then you'll notice her "recommendations".
Billions of dollars every year in regards to cancer foundations, gov grants and various charities. you think that industry is just going to let a cure wipe it all away. K woods so innocent and naïve.
42:25 why was the beneficiary's clip rendered with a slow audio flange making it sound like her recording was walking around me, in front and behind?
Does she have a cat?
ARKK is a joke.
🗣: thank you CATHIE! I always luv the perspective you provide ‼️
Can AI cure the cancer?!
We put too much hype into mediocre technology.
I think ARKK doesn’t make much sense in high rates environment. So, naturally Cathie preaching recession and QE….
It’s not analysis, just some wishful thinking…
What an exciting time for crisper and vertex. In fact, without seeing this, I bought editas last week isn't that a coincidence . Thank you Kathy. You know I started not to watch you tonight and I'm so glad I watched. Thanks again 😊
Last year only the natural gas (-30%), and the crude oil (-12%) from the major commodities peaked lower than in 2008. Almost anywhere else ATHs. Bloomberg Commodity Index is a joke.
Uh huh.
OMG – The Ark Innovation ETF, known by its ticker ARKK, has plunged almost 75% from its 2021 highs – DONT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS LADY
Instead of talking about macro all the time, why dont you speak on your stock selection instead? You are the only fund manager who constantly whines about macro environment
RUN!!!!
Cathie could you get your team members to look professional when they present? Allie looks like she was at the gym.
Gene editing is very scary. It doesn’t solve the root cause. The food we eat and drug we take are killing us. More drugs is the solution? Don’t fool with Mother Nature.
