ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, purchased over 380,000 shares of AI cloud provider CoreWeave across two days, even as the company's bonds and credit default swaps signaled high default risk. CoreWeave's debt load of about $52 billion and rising interest expenses exceed its net losses, raising concerns about its ability to repay debt despite sold-out capacity.

Investors should watch bond market signals closely, as they currently indicate more risk than the stock price reflects.
