Cathie Wood Just Bought These 3 Magnificent Stocks. Should You? Cathie Wood Just Bought These 3 Magnificent Stocks. Should You? Cathie Wood has developed a reputation for investing in up-and-coming tech disruptors, and she’s been ahead of the curve with some of her finds. Her company, Ark Invest, markets exchange-traded funds (ETF), and they each feature an assortment of stocks that fit a certain trend in disruptive technology. Followers track her trades to see what new insight she might offer. Her ETFs have predominantly underperformed the market over time, but she has a good eye for identifying stocks to watch, and investors can get great inspiration from her picks. Here’s how the flagship Ark Innovation ETF, the Ark Fintech ETF, the Ark Autonomous Tech and Robotics ETF, and the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF performed over the past three years compared to the S&P 500. ARKK Total Return Level data by YCharts Recently, she increased her position in Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), and Toast (NYSE: TOST). All of these have beaten the market over the past three years. ^SPX data by YCharts Let’s see if they’re still great investing ideas. Amazon is an exceptional company and has delivered exceptional gains for shareholders over its lifetime. Although its highest gains might be behind it, some of its best days may still be ahead. It has cemented its lead over any competition in the near term, and as the leader in two growth industries, it has a lot to gain in the future. It’s investing in growing its lead, and CEO Andy Jassy keeps talking about the massive opportunities that are coming in generative AI. Amazon offers a slew of generative AI services for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers, and it has the top position in cloud services. It’s planning to invest more than $100 billion this year in making sure it has a competitive platform to offer competitive solutions to existing clients and also gain new ones. AWS sales increased 19% year over year in the quarter, and it was Amazon’s fastest-growing segment. Cathie Wood bought Amazon shares for the Ark Fintech ETF last week when it fell after its fourth-quarter earnings report. The quarter itself was phenomenal, with double-digit increases in revenue and operating income, but the market was disappointed in Amazon’s guidance. She recognized the opportunity and pounced. But Amazon stock is still down since the report, and you can still buy on the dip, too. Shopify, on the other hand, surged after its fourth-quarter report. Revenue accelerated, and it reported huge increases in operating income and net income. Story Continues The future looks bright. E-commerce is expected to continue increasing as a percentage of retail sales, and Shopify is responsible for a large portion of U.S. and global e-commerce sales. It’s the largest e-commerce software platform in the U.S., with 30% of the market, and it’s generating growth along several fronts. But it’s only the fourth-largest platform globally, with close to 11% of the market, according to Statista. One of its main growth drivers is international, where revenue growth outpaced the total at 33% year over year in the fourth quarter. Some of its other major growth drivers include physical retail, which also increased 33% in the quarter, and the business-to-business segment, which increased 150%. Cathie Wood is a longtime Shopify fan, and she bought Shopify stock last week for the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF. With its incredible performance and robust opportunities, it could be an excellent long-term holding for growth investors. Toast is a cloud-based restaurant management platform that’s growing quickly and recently became profitable. It’s the future of the restaurant industry, and it has emerged as one of the leaders in this space, even up against well-known powerhouses like Block’s Square seller’s business. It has nearly 127,000 locations as of the end of the third quarter, with 7,000 new locations added in the quarter alone. It benefits from a high referral rate, implying customer satisfaction and a flywheel effect where many locations in a given region join the platform at a high rate. It’s expanding in multiple ways to grow its platform, from targeting international businesses to cross-selling customers to more expensive plans to recently launching a new product aimed at the supermarket industry. Growth has resulted in long-awaited profits, and net income turned from a loss in the previous quarter to $56 million in the 2024 third quarter. Cathie Wood added shares to the Next Generation Internet ETF last week, and investors can still get in on this fast-growing winner. Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you’ll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a “Double Down” stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you’re worried you’ve already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it’s too late.

Victory, City fight out dramatic ALM derby draw Victory, City fight out dramatic ALM derby draw Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City have fought out a dramatic and fiery 2-2 derby draw to remain firmly lodged in a cluster of teams jostling for an A-League Men top-two spot. Marco Tilio gave City the lead in the fifth minute but a contentious penalty allowed Zinedine Machach to equalise in first-half added time. In-form Brazilian winger Santos put Victory in front in the 48th minute, before Kai Trewin levelled from the penalty spot in the 70th. Victory sit third on the table with 29 points, one ahead of Western Sydney and City, whose winless run in derbies extends to eight games. Victory suffered a blow before the opening whistle when Brendan Hamill was a late withdrawal, with recruit Lachlan Jackson making his first start. City capitalised on some haphazard Victory defending to score a wonderful opener. Max Caputo took a good touch on the side of the 18-yard box and whipped the ball across goal. Mat Leckie cleverly dummied to allow the ball to pass by him to an unmarked Tilio to lash home. In the 21st minute, Langerak made a big save to deny Kavian Rahmani from close range. Trewin was potentially lucky to escape with a yellow card in the 44th minute after catching Santos with his studs. Late drama allowed Victory to equalise. Santos forced a big save from Patrick Beach and when Nikos Vergos attempted to pounce on the loose ball, Germain clipped his heel and Vergos hit the deck. But after a VAR referral, referee Jonathan Barreiro reviewed the incident and awarded a penalty, which Machach converted. Shortly after the break, Santos burst forward, leaving Aziz Behich in his wake, played a one-two with Jordi Valadon then rifled a wonderful strike past Beach. City wanted Victory skipper Roderick Miranda sent off when he shoved Andreas Kuen and caught the playmaker in the face on 54 minutes. Both players were carded, while Kuen was potentially lucky not to pick up a second yellow when he knocked over Miranda off the ball shortly after. City earned a penalty when Miranda legged Behich inside the box. Surprisingly, the Victory skipper didn’t receive a second yellow card, but Trewin coolly buried the spot kick to make for a tense finish. Victory next travel to face Brisbane on Saturday while City face Wellington away on Friday.

****** frees first of Israeli hostages to be released in latest exchange ****** frees first of Israeli hostages to be released in latest exchange KHAN YUNIS, GAZA – FEBRUARY 20: An aerial view of as members of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of ******, take precautions around the cemetery in Bani Suheila municipality before the bodies of the Bibas family (three members) and Oded Lifshitz are handed over to the Red Cross teams as part of the ******-Israel prisoner-hostage swap agreement in Khan Yunis Governorate, Gaza on February 20, 2025. Al-Qassam Brigades announced that the four Israeli hostages were alive when captured, but the Israeli army killed them by deliberately bombing detention sites during the attacks in the Gaza Strip. (Photo by Hasan Eslayeh/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu | Anadolu | Getty Images NUSEIRAT, Gaza Strip (AP) — ****** freed the first two of six Israeli hostages due to be released Saturday even as heightened tension between the adversaries clouded the future of the fragile ceasefire deal. The two hostages — Tal Shoham, 40, and Avera Mengistu, 38 — were put into Red Cross vehicles after being brought out onto a stage by masked and armed ****** fighters in front of a crowd in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Soon after, the Israeli military confirmed that the two had been brought into Israel. A few hours later, Red Cross vehicles arrived in the central town of Nuseirat for the next handover. The latest hostage release, to be followed by the freeing of hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, is going ahead after tensions mounted over a grisly and heart-wrenching dispute triggered this week when ****** initially handed over the wrong body for Shiri Bibas, an Israeli mother of two young boys abducted by militants. The remains that ****** transferred with her sons’ bodies on Thursday were later determined to be those of an unidentified ************ woman. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed revenge for “a cruel and malicious violation,” while ****** suggested it had been a mistake. On Friday night, the small militant group believed to have been holding Bibas and her sons — the ************ Mujahedeen Brigades — said it handed over a second body. On Saturday morning, Bibas’ family said Israeli forensic authorities had confirmed the remains were hers. “For 16 months we sought certainty, and now that it’s here, it brings no comfort, though we hope it marks the beginning of closure,” the family said. Difficult negotiations likely over the ceasefire’s next phase The dispute over the body’s identity raised new doubt about the ceasefire deal, which has paused over 15 months of war but is nearing the end of its first phase. Negotiations over a second phase, in which ****** would release dozens more hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal, are likely to be even more difficult. The six hostages being freed Saturday are the last living ones to be released under the ceasefire’s first phase. The new releases brought a moment of joy and relief for families, but with the ceasefire’s future uncertain, fears remain over the fate of the remaining hostages seized during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by ****** that killed 1,200 in Israel and ignited the war. “This is an unforgettable moment, where all emotions are rapidly mixing together. Our Tal is with us,” Shoham’s family said in a statement, calling for a deal the be reached for the release of all those still captive. “There is a window of opportunity; we must not miss it.” Shoham, who also holds Austrian citizenship, was visiting his wife’s family in Kibbutz Be’eri when ****** militants stormed into the community during the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks. Shoham’s wife, two young children, and three other relatives who werfe abducted with him were freed in a November 2023 exchange. Mengistu, an Ethiopian-Israeli, had been held in Gaza since entering on his own in 2014. Watching the handover on Israeli media, Mengistu’s family broke out into a Hebrew song, “Here is the Light,” as they saw him for the first time in more than a decade. The others to be freed Saturday include Eliya Cohen, 27; Omer Shem Tov, 22; and Omer Wenkert, 23. All three were abducted from a music festival during the Oct. 7 attack. Hisham Al-Sayed, 36, who also crossed into Gaza on his own years ago, is also to be returned to Israel as part of the deal. Hundreds of ************ prisoners set for release More than 600 Palestinians jailed in Israel will be freed in exchange, the ************ prisoners media office said Friday. The prisoners set for release include 50 serving life sentences, 60 with long sentences, 47 who were released under a previous hostage-for-prisoner exchange and 445 Palestinians who were seized by Israeli troops in Gaza since the war began. ****** has said it will also release four more bodies next week, completing the first phase of the ceasefire. If that plan is carried out, ****** would retain about 60 hostages, about half of whom are believed to be alive. Trump’s Gaza plan adds to uncertainty Trump’s proposal to remove about 2 million Palestinians from Gaza so the U.S. can own and rebuild it has thrown the ceasefire into further doubt. His idea has been welcomed by Netanyahu but universally rejected by Palestinians and Arab countries. Trump said Friday that he was “a little surprised” by rejections of the proposal by Egypt and Jordan and that he would not impose it. “I’ll tell you, the way to do it is my plan. I think that’s the plan that really works. But I’m not forcing it. I’m just going to sit back and recommend it,” Trump said in a Fox News interview. Israel’s military offensive killed more than 48,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel says it has killed more than 17,000 fighters, without providing evidence. The offensive destroyed vast areas of Gaza, reducing entire neighborhoods to rubble. At its height, the war displaced 90% of Gaza’s population. Many have returned to their homes to find nothing left and no way of rebuilding.

Foran injury blow as hot Titans’ spine sinks Dolphins Foran injury blow as hot Titans’ spine sinks Dolphins Gold Coast veteran Kieran Foran has been injured as the Titans spine sizzled in a 26-18 victory over the Dolphins in Redcliffe. Foran, who came off the bench, left the field late in the first half and ice was applied to the biceps area. The Titans said he would go for scans to determine the extent of the injury. The Dolphins also have concerns with new recruit prop Daniel Saifiti suffering a hamstring injury in the seventh minute. Winger Jack Bostock will also go for scans on a knee injury sustained in the second half. Titans’ new halves pairing Jayden Campbell and AJ Brimson were on fire while hooker Sam Verrills was crafty and fullback Keano Kini at his electric best. Coach Des Hasler is set to run out that combination in the NRL and he would have been licking his lips after this display. “Jayden Campbell looks like a genuine No.7,” former Brisbane coach and champion playmaker Kevin Walters said in Fox League commentary. Campbell set up Brimson with a burst and grubber in the first half while Brimson scooted 40m for his second after the break. Kini started the match the same way he ended last year, with the Titans player of the year in typical livewire form to score the game’s first try. He also set up a try with a grubber that was brilliantly snaffled by David Fifita, who flicked it to Jojo Fifita for a try. Verrills looked in fine fettle and a slick ball provided Beau Fermor with a try. The Dolphins welcomed back lock Tom Gilbert for his first game in a year after an ACL rupture. Gilbert was solid in a 30-minute hit-out and had ice on his knee after his stint, but it is understood he was not injured. The Dolphins were sloppy and have plenty to work on, but did show glimpses of decent form. The highlight was a burst by second-rower Max Plath that set up Jake Averillo for a try. New recruit Kulifefu Finefeuiaki put on several huge hits while veteran prop Mark Nicholls impressed and scored a try.
