  • Breaking Down the Oil Service Holders ETF (ETF: OIH) [View article]
    I think I am confused. Acording to the HOLDRS web site OIH has 18 components not 35. Here ae the tickers with their weightings;
    BHI 10.27%
    BJS 7.47%
    CAM 2.54%
    DO 5.90%
    ESV 3.81%
    GRP 2.90%
    GSF 7.80%
    HAL 11.01%
    HC 0.50%
    NBR 6.25%
    NE 6.04%
    NOV 3.33%
    RDC 2.31%
    RIG 9.33%
    SII 4.45%
    SLB 9.11%
    TDW 1.81%
    WFT 5.18%

    HOLDRS are not Cap weighted. They are all trusts that were created in such a way that they can not be changed by MER. Most started woth 20 components and now most a a few less due to take overs. The share amounts in there now are what was put in there at the beginning.

    Am I missing something with Eddy's post and the 35 holdings?
