Never heard of Ark. I checked out their site but can anyone give me some context on why they're notable?

It's going to be an interesting decade. ARKG is probably the least understood of them all.
Do you mean underestimated or overestimated?
That's largely the point of the ETF though, right?
Total speculation on my part... but I would predict that the average life span is pushed to 100+ by 2050. Largely on the back of genomics.

You will find very few, if any, companies in the Ark ETFs that would be considered "safe" picks for most investors. This is a testament to the nature of choosing companies working on the forefront of technological breakthroughs.
My summary spin on what they're doing is picking companies working on "what will be" as opposed to "what is".
Wright's Law is their guiding light. Worth a Wikipedia browse.

Of the 5 ETFs ARKG is the most underestimated. Particularly, maybe entirely, by those outside of the industry and Ark community. Grasping the impact of how genomic medicine will reshape lives is too much for your average person. That's largely the point of the ETF though, right? Total speculation on my part... but I would predict that the average life span is pushed to 100+ by 2050. Largely on the back of genomics.
Differentiating life span and health span is worthwhile here. It might not be great to live to 100. But if your quality years (health span) are increased it will be. That is the primary promise of genomics, secondary is life span.

#29I wanted to be able to justify to a friend that despite 10% of their entire portfolio oftentimes being TSLA they ARE selling shares as it goes up so it's not their ONLY holding :D

Ah yes, thanks for pointing it out. I suspect you're on Safari. Just tinkered with those dates yesterday. Tech note: momentjs isn't foolproof when it comes to Safari
