Cathie Wood continues promoting spree
Star inventory investor Cathie Wood has already been on a promoting spree for Twitter inventory. Over the course of this yr, Cathie Wood’s ARK has offered shares of Twitter from its ARK Next Generation Internet ETF, ARK Innovation ETF, and the Ark Fintech Innovation ETF. The ARK Next Generation Internet ETF at the moment holds slightly over 1 million shares of Twitter, whereas Fintech Innovation ETFs holds simply over 300,000 shares of the corporate. This is after Cathie Wood has offered round 90% of her holding within the inventory, by way of the previous few months.

The inventory had risen 27% earlier this month when Elon Musk disclosed he had bought the stake. Since then, the scrip has fallen almost 6%. So far this yr, Cathie Wood’s funds have had a troubled experience on Wall Street. Various ARK ETFs are down 8-25% to date this yr.
Elon Musk mutes Twitter Board
Cathie Wood’s promoting spree of Twitter inventory continues as Elon Musk declined to hitch Twitter’s board, regardless of being their single largest shareholder. The information was damaged to the world yesterday by Parag Agrawal, the chief government of the social media platform. Agrawal tweeted saying that the board had discussions about Elon Musk’s appointment final week and he was set to hitch his duties as a board member on Saturday. However, Musk conveyed his resolution to not be a part of the board the identical day.

Despite his resolution to not be a part of Twitter’s board, Elon Musk will proceed to stay the biggest single shareholder of the corporate.
