While broad market ETFs like the S&P 500 SPDR Trust (SPY) have recovered April 2010 highs, investors of Sector SPDR ETFs have different experiences. For instance, Bespoke points out that SPDR Financials Select (XLF) is down 11% from its April pinnacle. In complete contrast, telecom is up nearly 16%!
