  • SKF wags the dog?

    No wonder Krammer has been raging against SKF.

    Re: SKF wags the dog?

    Cramer is a talking monkey.

    As for SKF - don't forget there is its counterpart UYG.

    SKF traded 40M shares on 2/20, but UYG traded 215M shares on the same day.

    Of course SKF is priced a bit richer...

    But the underlying BKX itself also trades heavily.

    For example today:

    volumes:
    SKF: 29.7M
    UYG: 193.9M
    BKX: 298.6M
    JPM: 135.8M

    dollar volumes (day volume times close price):
    SKF: $4.8B
    UYG: $470M
    BKX: $7.5B
    JPM: $2.95B

    Blaming SKF itself makes for nice conspiracy talk, but as someone who is very active with both SKF and UYG (and watches BKX as a measuring stick) - I have seen relatively very little wonky behavior.

    In other words - SKF, UYG, and BKX have shown very consistent relative behavior over the past 18 months that I've watched them.

    In contrast, SRS/IYR/URE show completely inconsistent behavior even taking into account the distribution SRS had late last year.
