The links below represent a Yahoo! Finance ETF screener which is sorted from highest to lowest net assets for each of the categories - I will also add these links to the "Links and Resources" drop-down menu at

Healthcare Financial Natural Resources Technology ProShares (Leveraged and Inverse Funds)
Select Sector SPDR Funds Entire Database of Funds As I wrote during the last week of July, my favorite ETF picks are in the healthcare sector, representing the top three HealthShares by net assets, which includes
Diagnostics (HHD),
Cancer (HHK), and
Enabling Technologies (HHV) -- which will all remain on the market in an expanded, modified form with lower expense ratios as XShares recently announced it was closing 15 of the 19 funds in its health line-up as part of a marketing overhaul.
When trading resumes on Monday, it appears the energy sector and related commodities will be weak due to less-than-expected damage from Hurricane Gustav today, which had oil moving lower in electronic trading on the Labor Day holiday. ETFs likely to move lower include the US Oil (USO) and Natural Gas (UNG) Funds along with the Energy Sector SPDR (XLE). Lower energy commodity prices and political uncertainties are also likely to
continue weighing on the Russia ETF (RSX) as pressure mounts for a complete pull back from Georgia by EU & US leaders.
