Stocks Owned by ETFs

Roger Nusbaum submits: This article by Richard Widows on The Street.com examines what percent of a stock is held by ETFs.

For example 2.1% of ExxonMobil Corp. (XOM) is owned by ETFs, and 1.2% of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) is held by ETFs.

On the big side, 17% of NovaStar Financial Inc. (NFI) is held by ETFs and 16% of Accredited Home Lenders Holding (LEND) is owned by ETFs.

The list of stocks in the article where ETFs own a lot of stock are mostly small-cap names, while the lesser-owned names are large stocks.

You can decide for yourself whether there is any dog wagging. Generally I think not.

I read the article as well, in general one must look beyond the description of the etf and get complete listing of stocks held by the fund. I found portfolio analyzer from Etrade do a pretty good job of pulling all the stocks held in portfolio using morningstar data complete review of the tool here
