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.

Roger,
You refer to the double short Profunds?
These are not out yet, are they?

[RogerNusbaum]

I saw one not that says june 29 for the double short funds. Apologies if that was unclear

[Tim]

Is there a list of the latest ETF's that have been released say over the past 3 months or so?

[RogerNusbaum]

i'm not sure about a list per se. I have a news search that goes to MyYahoo that seems to work also some of the contnent here finds out about new ETFs.

Another good resource is indexuniverse.com
