New Sector ETFs From StateStreet

Roger Nusbaum submits: StateStreet is rolling out the following:

Sector SPDR Mining (XME)
Sector SPDR Retail (XRT)
Sector SPDR Pharma (XPH)
Sector SPDR Oil & Gas Equipment and Services (XES)
Sector SPDR Oil & Gas Exploration and Drilling (XOP)
Sector SPDR Regional Banking (KRE)

The mining ETF is interesting, as I believe there is only one of those so far but I think there are already, ahem, 172 ETFs that slice up the energy sector.
