like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually
buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back
and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to
accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the
week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout
for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units
created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new
units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be
purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying
holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components
held within ETFs. MNKD Stock Predictions IBMM market cap history
