On CAPS, 98% of the 128 members who have rated SPDR S&P Biotech believe the ETF will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star lemus, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community, and iddqkfyou.

Earlier this year, lemus summed up the opportunity: "If you can't decide on one, buy a basket of them. Like [SPDR S&P Biotech] slightly more than [iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology], smaller cap biotechs with a more concentrated portfolio."

In fact, SPDR S&P Biotech sports a portfolio whose stocks average long-term earnings growth of 19%. That's higher than that of other biotech ETFs like iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology (14%) and Biotech HOLDRS (10%).

CAPS member iddqkfyou expands on the outperform argument:

Some of these companies will go up 10x and some will go to zero... But I like those odds because I believe that the time is finally right. This industry has broken away from a linear progression, so I want to place some chips to see where they land.
