ETFs To Watch January 25, 2010 (MTK, XLF, RSX, VXX)
Here is the ETF Professor's ETF Watch List for Monday January 25, 2010.
With Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) reproting earnings after the bell, tech ETFs will be in play during the trading day. The SPDR Morgan Stanley Technology ETF (NYSE: MTK) and the Technology Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLK) will be worth watching.
The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSE: XRT), the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLY), the Materials Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLB), the Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF) and the SPDR KBW Regional Banking ETF (NYSE: KRE) all saw unusual options activity on Friday.
Believe it or not, the U.S. Natural Gas Fund (NYSE: UNG) was one of the better performing ETFs on Friday.
Watch the UltraShort Financials ProShares ETF (NYSE: SKF) if financials remain under pressure.
The Market Vectors Russia ETF (NYSE: RSX) is finding 2010 to be much tougher sledding than 2009 was. This is a good way to play oil's decline, too.
The iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXX) was up nearly 9% on Friday, making it worth watching on Monday.
