A couple of ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made a huge sale on Thursday. Specifically, these funds sold over 65,000 shares of Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM) altogether, as the prices of these funds were relatively flat on Thursday. Note though that they are up a fair amount in the past year.

ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKQ) sold 49,933 shares and ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) sold 16,469 shares of Iridium. At Thursday’s closing prices, this would have valued the sales at roughly $3.1 million altogether. Even though this is a small fraction of their total holdings, every little bit counts. The robotics ETF is up about 47% in the past year, but the other one is up only 3% since it came public.
