I'm starting a thread to list all the main sector ETFs, as a reference for anyone who likes to speculate on sector moves, or who wants to play some sector-specific news. I thought a good idea would be for everyone to just contribute a few, then let someone else come up with a few more that haven't been mentioned yet. Ok, here are a few ETFs on my sector watchlist: RJI - Rogers Commodity Index MOO - Agribusiness OIH - Oil service XLF - Financials XHB - Homebuilders ICF - REITs IAI - Broker/Dealers IAT - Regional Banks PRM - Retailers

I've actually traded ETF's where I was the only trader for the day, well besides the market maker.
ITB (iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction ) Nearing 52 week lows, think for the long term this could be a good buy, think you can wait for something under $12.00.
There's another homebuilder etf which almost nobody knows about...SAW. Liquidity is there but bid/ask spread is not as good as the others.
