‘As long as we don’t fall into a recession,’ we’re in a long bull market, says ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood
Star stock picker Cathie Wood says she remains bullish on the equity market long-term, despite bearish concerns about rising inflation pressures as the global economy attempts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an video interview with MarketWatch’s sister publication Barron’s on Wednesday, Wood said that “we’re in a long bull market,” that will sustain itself “as long as we don’t fall into a recession.”
Wood said that equity investors are climbing a “massive wall of worry,” and are “effectively saying no” to concerns the likelihood that a new regime of corporate taxes will upend bullish momentum.

Wood is a money manager, whose funds focus on making investments in disruptive innovations and manages the flagship $20.7 billion ARK Innovation ETF ARKK,
