Here are the ten ETFs with the largest increase in value traded (VT) for the week ending May 08, 2009.
The ranking is based on a simple comparison of the five-day average value traded (closing price times volume) versus the 50-day average.
Topping the list this week is Claymore/Sabrient Insider (NFO), and MarketVectors Gaming ETF (BJK) appears for the second week in a row. Two commodity oriented funds making the list turned in gains in excess of +20% for the week: iPath DJ AIG Natural Gas Total Return ETN (GAZ) with a +21.9% return, and MarketVectors Coal ETF (KOL) with a +20.2% return.
| Ticker | Name | 1-wk | VT Chg |
| NFO | Claymore/Sabrient Insider | 8.9% | 785% |
| FEZ | DJ Euro STOXX 50 | 8.5% | 422% |
| COW | iPath DJ AIG Livestock Total Return ETN | 2.6% | 455% |
| DNH | WisdomTree Pacific Ex-Jap HY Equity | 10.6% | 377% |
| BJK | Market Vectors Gaming ETF | 8.3% | 337% |
| RZV | Rydex S&P Smallcap 600 Pure Value | 8.2% | 293% |
| GAZ | iPath DJ AIG Natural Gas Total Ret ETN | 21.9% | 352% |

The output in the table above is filtered so that only ETFs and ETNs that had an Average Daily Value Traded (ADVT) of at least $1 million for the past 21 market days are included. This includes only those products in the upper ETF Liquidity Tiers and represents approximately 45% of the universe of US-listed ETFs and ETNs. This step eliminates many of the peculiarities associated with low volume securities.
