This month’s top trades were led by NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), which saw its share price reach all-time highs. The top trades were followed by Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (ARCA: VOO) and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).
It should be noted that the assets in our trading snapshots are ordered by the number of Sharesight users trading that asset, while the size of the bars indicate the actual trade volume. So while there were more customers trading in VOO, the volume of TSLA trades was higher, meaning that while there were fewer people trading in TSLA compared to VOO, they made more trades.
