ETF Winners & Losers (June 12, 2007)

DJIA                        13,295.01; -129.95 (0.97%)
S&P500                  1,493.00; -16.12 (1.07%)

NYSE Volume          2,964,548,000

Obviously we have the "inverse index and UltraShort ETF’s" leading the day because of the more than 125 point drop in the DJIA today.  Regardless, there are some winners outside of the inverse funds.   And there is a whole slew of ETF losers.
