Reading the Ripples
Unlike traditional stocks, ETFs navigate the financial markets with a rhythm all their own. These units, akin to vessels, can be traded back and forth like stocks, but also created or destroyed to meet investor demand. Keeping a vigilant eye on the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data allows investors to anticipate the tide, noting significant inflows and outflows impacting the ETFs’ component stability.
