Tesla Earnings Preview: What To Watch For When The EV Maker Reports After The Bell Today Tesla is set to report after the bell today, with the consensus EPS estimate at $2.36 and revenue estimated to come in at $16.65B. But this Q1 report may be more about the guidance than its Q4 numbers, since investors already know that the company beat expectations with deliveries during the quarter. Investors are going to be watching for "details about when production will begin at new factories in Austin and Berlin" and "sales projections for 2022 after the company surprised with record deliveries in the fourth quarter", Bloomberg wrote Wednesday morning. We reported that in Q4, Tesla gave up on $1.3 billion in German subsidies it had hoped for as part of the EV manufacturer''s new battery-cell plant in Brandenburg, close to Berlin. The company may also offer color and face questions on Elon Musk''s stock sales , which amounted to over $10 billion worth of Tesla stock heading into the end of 2021.

Two Very Big Narratives On A Collision Course Authored by Peter Tchir via Academy Securities, Six Hours of Second Guessing Yourself I generally hate FOMC meeting days. Despite all the preparation youve done, most of us seem to spend the hours ahead of the decision at 2pm and the press conference at 2:30 second guessing everything. Staring at the tape trying to divine some information that youve missed. That isnt made any easier in what has been an extremely volatile tape with intraday swings that are as violent and large as Ive seen in a long time. We will come back to the Fed in a moment, but there is a consensus, which I generally agree with, that Fed days tend to support risk assets . That whatever fears we have built up will be assuaged when Chair Powell finally addresses us. Microsoft Microsofts earnings hit the tape and the stock dropped almost 5% dragging the Nasdaq 100 futures down to almost the lows they hit on Monday (you had to be pretty quick to buy some here). The conference call turned Microsoft around and the Nasdaq 100 is back to almost where it started the week.

The SARK Vs. ARKK ETF Battle: Wanna Bet Against Cathie Wood?

Cathie Woods ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) and Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.B) can help investors evaluate growth and value investing.

While growth names have struggled lately, not all disruptive tech ETFs have sunk as much as 'ARKK.'

The tech rout has spread to the broader markets.

There's not a person on the planet who represents what the future could be more than ARK Invest's CEO Cathie Wood. With her strong views and innovative thinking, Wood has been dominating headlines for

ARK Changes How Its Innovation Fund''s Returns Show Up On Its Website Submitted by QTR''s Fringe Finance Cathie Wood continues playing it fast and loose with how she presents her ETFs projected - and now past - performance. The most recent example of Wood pulling the ole switcheroo has come in the form of how Wood markets her flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) on its website . As Twitter user @commandentesd pointed out over the weekend, Woods website used to track ARKK on its site using its YTD return. An archived version of ARKs site from December 2021 shows at YTD return of -15.1%. Ah, yes. The ole YTD metric. Lets see how that should stand for ARKK so far in 2022. The fund has started off the year -24%, underperforming its benchmark by -13%. But now, all of a sudden, ARKKs webpage shows the same other three boxes, but its return box has switched from a YTD return to a 5 year (annualized) return as of 12/31/2021. The reasons for the switch could be obvious: the funds YTD return in 2022 has been horrific and its annualized 5 year return as of the end of 2021 is a much friendlier looking +38.38% number.

Stocks in the disruptive and innovative camps are enduring the brunt of market weakness in early 2022, and that might have some investors doubting the long-term viability of disruptive growth. Investo

ARKK Traded $4.5 Billion Worth Of Shares On Monday Monday likely marked a much needed gasp of air for Cathie Wood and those holding her ARK Innovation Fund (ARKK). The fund, which is down 22% year to date according to Bloomberg , was able to finish the trading day on Monday up 2.82% at $73.54 per share after falling as low as $64.98, which marked a new 52 week low for the asset manager''s flagship fund. After being down as much as 9.1% during the intraday session, ARKK rebounded with the rest of the market starting at about noon eastern time and, by the close, had posted what felt like one of its few meaningfully positive green days in 2022 so far. Names like Shopify and Roku, which have been decimated over the last 2 months, helped ARKK''s turnaround, rising 6.4% and 3.4% respectively. Surprisingly, the fund''s biggest weighting, Tesla, still finished the day losing -1.47% and closing at $930 per share. Bloomberg ETF expert Eric Balchunas noted at the end of the cash session that the ETF had traded an "astonishing" $4.5 billion worth of shares, which was more than major ETFs like GLD, TLT and EEM.
