My $ARKK and $SPY strategies are exactly the same except one picks stocks from the ARK etf universe and one from the S&P universe.
Since inception:
ARK strat is up 13% vs ARKK
SPY strat is up 51% vs ARKK
BURRY: CUT TECH EXPOSURE AMID BUBBLE FEARS
Michael Burry warns markets are showing bubble-like signs driven by AI hype and momentum trading, urging investors to reduce tech stock exposure and “reject greed.”
He advises raising cash and avoiding aggressive bets like shorting, which he says is too risky and costly for most investors.
Burry, known for predicting the 2008 crash, says current conditions resemble the late 1999–2000 dot-com bubble and sees tech valuations as stretched.
In six to twelve months @citrini is going to publish a report about how AI will create massive demand for advertising (in a plethora of ways). It will probably be one of the best calls.
My $SPY benchmarked strategy (picks stocks only from the SPY basket using the same filters/parameters) is up 45% vs. $ARKK since 1-16-2026.

The biggest challenge in trying to beat $ARKK by only picking equities held in the ARK basket is they are almost exclusively shitbeta meaning I am getting none of the lead/qualbeta exposure from semis/AI like I am in my other strats
And my strategies explicitly *try* to filter out all shitbeta. As a result I'm only getting ~9-15 out of 96 tickers from ARK etfs eligible for trading in the recent months.
