Other companies didn’t do as well last year, but could see their fortunes change in the coming years. Expeditors International of Washington (NASDAQ:EXPD) shed 22%, serving transportation companies with its logistics services. In its fourth-quarter earnings report, the company posted disappointing results due to a weak air freight market. Bulls admire its expertise, organic growth, and global reach, but bears are irked by its hefty cash pile, which isn’t being deployed to boost growth.

The big picture
Demand for transportation isn’t going away anytime soon. A well-chosen ETF can grant you instant diversification across any industry or group of companies — and make investing in and profiting from it that much easier.
