Services Sector ETF
Categories: Index Funds
See: Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).
What services? Well, law firms are a service. But not many are publicly traded. Banks are a service. At least...investment banks are. Sorta. There are oil and gas processing services. That might count.
The key notion: the services sector is about people (professionals)...doing stuff. It's not about robots manufacturing items or units for sale in and around stores. Less leverage in business operations. Just sales of human time...with a markup.

believe that oil was about tohave an explosion in demand
the good kind of explosion Then you'd want to beam
or exposed to it financially at least to its upside
Then say you would technology which you feel has gotten
too expensive in the markets And its best days are
behind it It's A little like putting several of your
