The world order established after WWII is changing before our eyes. Indexes have broken their uptrends. Nasdaq stocks have been crushed. Old commodities are becoming more important to nations than ever before. Security isn't guaranteed.
As investors our goals remain unchanged. Give ourselves and our families the best chance to succeed through financial independence.
Considering the changes in the world, I present to you five ETF's that when equally weighted as a single fund are breaking out to new all time highs.
BUG - Cyber Security. XAR - Aerospace and Defense. XOP - Oil and Gas Explorers. XME - Metals and Mining. COPX - Copper Producers.
There's very little overlap between these funds. I prefer XAR to ITA due to the high Boeing exposure of ITA. The beta is high so expect moves greater then the indexes in either direction. When equally weighted there's a small yield of about 1%.
With ETF's you take the underperformers along with the outperformers. However, you don't have to worry to much about single stock risk. Stock pickers may prefer to dive into these funds and select the strongest stocks from the group.

@itzfifson, I own it in an IRA and it has been performing wonderfully. I used fractional shares and market orders to get the equal weighting I desired.
