In the For What It is Worth department:

Most of you are probably already aware of the following information, but I thought I would bring it to the attention of others who might not have read about it yet.

WisdomTree introduced some International Sector ETFs about 2-3 months ago. It seems to me that this might be a different way of AIMing the international markets and capturing some of that volatility.

Here is a link to WisdomTree.

www.wisdomtree.com

You can view these sector indices by clicking on to the Indexes tab at the top of the screen.

It appears that these indices are constructed along dividend weighted structures the same as the other WisdomTree indices instead of the usual market capitalization weighted index structures.

I am not sure how this will work with the Technology sector since most domestic technology stocks pay little or no dividends. This could possibly be a hindrance to performance when compared to a international technology sector where the index is constructed along other criteria lines. I see the largest stock in the technology sector index is Canon, followed by SAP. This could also possibly be a performance hindrance with some of the other sectors.

Anyway, I thought I would bring it to the attention of some who were not yet aware these ETFs existed.
