XME etf

    Posted by frtaylor on 17th of Oct 2012 at 09:14 am

    I've been trading and now watching the XME etf for a while.  It tracks the S&P metals and mining select industry sector.  The etf's top holdings include FCX, NEM, AA, CNX, NUE, BTU, RGLD, CLF, RS, and ANV.  It seems like a good etf as an inflation trade as well as a recovering economy.  I posted the chart a couple days ago.

    Matt and Steve, or others, I'd love to hear your thoughts on XME chart-wise, and generally how you think it should behave going forward given its makeup.  Am I too bullish on this etf?  I got out near the top of the channel a few days back and am hoping for a pullback.   If gold pulls back further that should help, but it really tracks differently than GDX, due to the coal/steel/aluminum components, which have been doing well (CLF in the last two days!).
