SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSEArca: XHB)
2012: 55.6%
2013: Up 14.6%
Comment: Like ITB, XHB is still not within striking distance of its pre-crisis highs, but XHB has been the better performer this year. XHB has an advantage of ITB, that being a heavier weight consumer discretionary and retail names that are related to residential real estate. That works in a good year for the discretionary sector at large, which 2013 has been.
