Some individual investors have ramped up their buying, purchasing $19.4 million of Robinhood stock Tuesday on a net basis—their highest daily amount yet, according to data from Vanda Research’s VandaTrack. Cathie Wood, the chief executive and chief investment officer of ARK Investment Management LLC, also has scooped up shares. According to data as of Tuesday published to ARK’s website, the flagship ARK Innovation exchange-traded fund holds about 4.9 million Robinhood shares. ARK also holds Robinhood stock in at least two of its other ETFs, according to ARK fund holdings data.
