Cathie Wood Enlists the Robots for a Sleight of Hand - The Washington Post
Audaciousness has worked for Cathie Wood as an investment style even in the face of gathering economic storm clouds, but her recent social media remarks are ratcheting up the outrageousness. They have the whiff of what magicians call misdirection.
