Best and Worst ETFs of 2009
Another year has come and gone, the dust has settled, and now its time to see who made our top ten best and worst ETFs for the year. To avoid duplication, we’ve eliminated the lesser known ETFs that essentially track the same assets as the more popular issues, as well as funds with built in leverage. As you can probably imagine, the top ten list was saturated with energy and emerging market related names. The best overall performer was the Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) which was up over 144% for the year. Other top performers in the list were the Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX), the iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ), and the Market Vectors Steel ETF (SLX).

9) 95.6% - B2B Internet HOLDRs (BHH)

The worst performer, was the Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury (EDV) which is sporting a solid -35% return year to date. Following close behind at -23% and -22% were the PowerShares Dynamic Banking (PJB) and the SPDR KBW Regional Banking (KRE), respectively.
