If you follow Cathie Wood's every trade — and plenty of investors do — you already know she's never shy about making bold moves. The ARK Invest founder and CEO recently sold roughly $5.5 million worth of a tech stock that had been on a serious upward tear, a move that looks a lot like good old-fashioned profit-taking while the getting is good.
