Many ETFs & ETNs cover groupings of stocks by the sector and/or industry in which they lay.

These ETFs generally try to mimic a sector index by holding proportional sized blocks of shares in each company listed on the index.

As per usual there are bull and bear iterations for these sector representing ETFs.

 

Sector ETFs work well if you have an idea about where a sector is going to go - up or down - but do not have an idea as to which stocks specifically will move or want to spread out your risk.

There are leveraged versions of sector ETFs available (2x or 3x bull or bearish ETFs), but as we normally state, the author of this article would never consider dabbling in one of these dangerous products.
