ETFs To Watch November 12, 2009

Here is the ETF Professor's ETF Watchlist for Thursday November 11, 2009.

Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) reports earnings before and the world's largest retailer is the largest constituent in the Retailer HOLDRs ETF (NYSE: RTH). Wal-Mart accounts for more than 20% of RTH, so put RTH on your watch list.

If you want to play Hewlett-Packard's $2.7 billion buy of 3Com (Nasdaq: COMS), try the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE: VGT) or the Technology Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLK).

Play the ETF sector with the Ultra Real Estate ProShares (NYSE: URE).

South Korea kept interest rates a record low of 2% and quelled any thoughts of increase next year. The Plays: The iShares MSCI South Korea Index (NYSE: EWY)and the iShares MSCI Pacific ex-Japan ETF (NYSE: EPP).

Actually, most Asian markets were down over night, including China, so the UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China25 Proshares (NYSE: FXP) might be worth playing.

Dry bulk shippers are always a fun trade, so let's take a look at the Claymore/Delta Global Shipping ETF (NYSE: SEA).

For a technical play, try the Utilities Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLU), which is seeing its 20-day moving average cross below the 50-day line.
