Yesterday’s $9.7 billion AI deal with Microsoft (MSFT) has Wall Street analysts acting like they’ve discovered fire.

As Ark’s funds-ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF-accumulate shares like a miser hoarding loose change, one wonders: Is this the dawn of a new financial era, or simply the echo of a crash waiting to happen? The stock’s recent plunge hints at the latter, yet Ark persists, as if the NYSE were some grand cathedral of capitalism where every dip is just a test of faith. 🕊️
