Behind The Gains

KFYP closed today at $31.64 per share, up $3.01 (+10.51%). Putting this move in context, the S&P 500 index — largely considered the most popular and useful benchmark for equity performance — closed up just $0.09 (+0.04%) on the day.

KFYP’s trading volume today was a total of 188 shares, which was a decrease of 6% versus its average daily trading volume of 200. Rising trading volume generally an indicator of increased demand for a particular security, and is typically associated with a specific news event or trend that draws investors into or out of specific asset classes, or sectors or subsectors within those classes. KFYP is extremely thinly traded, which makes it a dangerous play for short-term holding periods.

Including any dividends as well as today’s gains, KFYP has now returned a total of 9.18% year-to-date, versus a 1.83% gain in the S&P 500 during the same timeframe.
