Maybe it is not as adventurous as the now-iconic TV commercial about “The Most Interesting Man In The World,” but the S&P 500 Industrial Sector SPDR ETF (XLI) has historically been my favorite. Not due to past performance, since we all know tech takes that contest handily.
There is one thing about XLI that has distinguished it from the other 10 S&P 500 sectors, from Energy to Materials to Financials, Consumer Discretionary and the rest. XLI was the only one not crowded into a handful of names.
