🏔️
At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
68 hedge funds hold NODK right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +11% more funds vs a year ago
