Like many of us, Cathie Wood has had a crazy 2021. Investors in her flagship fund might argue that the year was even crazier. Ark Innovation (ARKK), Wood’s main ETF, is poised to end 2021 down by nearly 25%, even as the S&P 500 is up by about the same amount.

Johnson & Johnson’s (JNJ) historic move to split the world’s largest pharmaceutical company into two over the next two years will create two new publicly-traded companies. The legacy brand will focus on drugs and medical devices, while the consumer segment will receive new branding, the company said in a statement Friday. The move follows a growing trend in the health care sector to focus on innovative — or more high risk, high reward — segments of business, according to experts. Ashtyn… Source link

For inexperienced hikers, smartphones are a multipurpose tool: a flashlight, an emergency beacon and a GPS, all in one device. But it can be ill-advised, and possibly life-threatening, for hikers to rely solely on their phones as they head into the wilderness, experts say.
