Monday, January 29, 2018 - Markets got off to a fast start right out of the gate last Monday, in part due
to the spending bill recently passed by Congress to fund the government for
another 3 weeks. Stocks maintained this positive momentum and hit a record
high in the week. Major indexes had their
fourth consecutive weekly gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 2.1%,
the S&P 500 gained 2.2% and NASDAQ gained 2.3%. Every sector had a positive
week as well. Leading the way were Consumer Discretionary gaining 3.32%,
Healthcare gaining 3.51% and Real Estate gaining 2.29%.
ETFG Equity Exposure Report - Last week saw many
companies in the S&P 500 report earnings with one of them being Netflix,
who surged almost 8% on Tuesday after their earnings release. The jump in
share price pushed the company’s market cap to above $100 Billion for the first
time. In the ETF Global Exposure Report we can simply input any stock ticker to see what ETFs have the biggest
concentration to that particular stock. For Netflix, there is 6.76
billion of exposure of Netflix in the ETF universe. The biggest holders of Netflix
are PNQI, Powershares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio, FNG, Advisorshares New Tech
and Media ETF and First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund. They hold 10.16%, 7.94% and 6.76% of their
portfolio respectively in Netflix.
