OP here I was reading a lot about AI and it appears Grok has advanced very fast and xAI will play a bigger role. Looking into how small investor can participate ARK venture fund invests in SpaceX and pretty much all the AI companies including OpenAI and others.

Pros would be to benefit in case some companies come as winner and go public
Cons as pointed out above liquidity and speculative

Always conservative in my approach and but this AI companies might be opportunity to make money.

Every 5-7 years, Cathie Wood has a year where she is the greatest genius on Wall Street.

She is an excellent example of the old Wall Street saying (first two lines apply to her):

If you're a bull and you're right, you're loved.
If you're a bull and you're wrong, you're forgiven.
If you're a bear and you're right, you're respected.
If you're a bear and you're wrong, you're fired.

Isn’t it pre-IPO?

good use of 5-10k. thanks for sharing the info.

It's fine. I buy individual stocks only.

Terrible idea unless you don’t care what happens to that money

Its both highly speculative and illiquid. I wouldn't put money in there that I couldn't throw on the ground and burn.

I'm trying to invest 5-10K and interested in ARKVX due to potential for me to invest in SpaceX and majority of AI (OpenAI, xAI). Please share your thoughts. Thank you
