Retail Stocks XRT ETF No Signs of Peaking / Companies / Sector Analysis

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The SPDR Retail ETF (XRT) is one heck of a bullish chart, which includes names like Whole Foods (WFMI), Sears (SHLD), OfficeMax (OMX), HSN (HSNI), Netflix (NFLX), Dress Barn (DBRN), and Family Dollar Stores (FDO).
