XME: Buy On Overblown Recession Fears

XME's recent weakness may be a buying opportunity as recession fears are likely overdone, with potential for a recovery rally post-election.

Despite recent economic indicators suggesting a downturn, the slow-moving cycle implies a recession might still be months away, making the current panic premature.

XME: The Time Is Right To Buy

The SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF goes through periods of significant underperformance punctuated by significant outperformance.
