Cathie Wood sells Tesla shares: what did she buy in its place?

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares have recovered sharply over the past few weeks, now up roughly 45% since March 14^th – a rally that celebrity investor Cathie Wood saw as an opportunity to take profits.

Wood sold $205 million in Tesla stock

The founder and CEO of Ark Investment Management sold a total of $205 million in Tesla stock this week. The EV maker is one of her largest holdings.

The move comes more than a month after Wood loaded up on 60,000 Tesla shares. Earlier this week, she increased her exposure to Chinese rival Nio Inc.

The surge in TSLA was in concert with the recovery in the broader market and was related also to the official launch of its Berlin Gigafactory. CEO Elon Musk was reported considering another stock split as well.

What did Wood buy this week?

Ark’s daily transaction report confirms that Wood has reallocated the money she pulled out of Tesla into crypto, gaming, and streaming companies.
