Cathie Wood Buys More Tesla

By Shayne Heffernan2 min read

Despite difficulties, Cathie Wood is bullish on Tesla.

Renowned fund manager Cathie Wood, who is renowned for her audacious investing methods, has increased her stake in Tesla (TSLA), the industry leader in electric vehicles, dramatically once again demonstrating her faith in the business. A significant 319,162 shares of Tesla stock were bought by Ark funds, managed by Wood, on Monday and Tuesday. As of Tuesday's market closing, this transaction totaled $53.2 million.

Even while Tesla has seen difficulties, including a drop in first-quarter deliveries, and its shares have fallen 32% so far this year, Wood is still upbeat about the company's long-term prospects. Despite doubts expressed by analysts such as Emmanuel Rosner of Deutsche Bank about Tesla's prospects for development this year, Wood remains steadfast in her support of her investment in the pioneer of electric vehicles.

Wood's admiration for Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, and his commitment to advancing environmentally friendly transportation solutions is well-known. Tesla holds a significant position as the second-largest holding in Ark Innovation, reflecting Wood's confidence in Musk's vision and the company's potential to revolutionize the automotive industry.

In addition to her bullish stance on Tesla, Wood has also made strategic moves regarding other holdings in Ark funds. On Tuesday, Ark funds divested 811,792 shares of online sports gambling platform DraftKings (DKNG), valued at $36.3 million, possibly indicating a decision to lock in profits amidst the stock's impressive performance over the past year.

Similarly, Ark Funds sold 663,796 shares of online securities brokerage Robinhood (HOOD) on Monday, amounting to $12.7 million, as the stock witnessed a significant surge in value fueled by heightened retail investor activity in the equities market.

While Wood's recent buying and selling activities reflect her dynamic investment approach and willingness to adapt to market conditions, her continued confidence in Tesla underscores her conviction in disruptive innovation and long-term value creation. As the investment landscape evolves, investors will closely monitor Wood's moves for insights into emerging opportunities and trends in the market.

NIST Graded Our Post-Quantum Cryptography. Zero Failures.

NIST's Algorithm Validation Test System generated test vectors nobody had seen, we answered them over the ACVP protocol, and NIST graded the result: 2,130 cases across ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA in every parameter set offered, zero failures, demo certificate A11025. This is what that proves, where we deliberately drew the claim narrower than NIST's own matrix, and why the FIPS 140-2 sunset on 21 September makes the distinction between being graded and grading yourself worth understanding.

The Problem Is Not the Problem

People treat the Jack Sparrow line as a joke. The attribution is a joke. The sentence is not. Forty years in markets says the same thing Epictetus said in 125 CE and Robert Merton named in 1948: the event is finite, and the story you appoint to govern it is not. This essay walks the quote back to its actual sources, draws the loop that turns a feeling into an order, and sets out the four places a rule written in advance cuts the loop. Faith is not a hedge. It is a stance.

What KXCO Is, and Why the Hard Problem Was Never Intelligence

The prevailing enthusiasm assumes the hard problem is intelligence. It is not. It is that banks, hospitals, courts and governments are being asked to let software act on their behalf with no way to establish who decided, on what basis, or whether the record will still read in a decade. KXCO founder Shayne Heffernan sets out the architecture that answers those questions, drawn as a graph, and argues that properly constructed AI is an amplifier of human judgement rather than a replacement for it.

AI Intelligence Scales. Accountability Does Not. Why KXCO Is Built for It.

Capability is becoming abundant and everything abundant gets cheap. What does not get cheap is the person who has to sign, and they can only carry what they can see. Four conditions follow from that, and four independent authorities reached the first of them last month without knowing it.
