There is technical support for ARK in the low 30s. And that’s where I think it’s headed, but with no time frame in mind.

If you want a different view, Wood says “Disruptive innovation is often not priced correctly by traditional investment strategies because people may not understand how big the ultimate opportunities are going to be. They aren’t sizing the opportunity and they aren’t analyzing the disruption.”
