Are there any exchange traded funds that focus on stocks that are the most beat-up? The Citi's, BofA's, etc.?

I realize everything is pretty clobbered now, but some of 'em are more clobbered than others.

There are several "Ishares " that concentrate on financials, one has the symbol IYF. Go to Ishares.com & look under sectors, you'll find several in different financial sectors. Pretty risky stuff in my opinion. You could also look under "Value" under "U.S. market cap/style" where you're not restricted to Financials. For me this is less risky than the financials (but then after my stock performance last year I don't think you want to listen to my advice). Vanguard also has some ETFs of their own you might want to look there (their Financial ETF is already down 25% this year). Go to Vanguard .com & look for their ETF area
