Retail has been the main focus of Wall Street ahead of the holiday season, but it turns out the retail sector has not been a top performer in December during the past 10 years. Instead, the media sector, represented by the PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio ETF (PBS) has done well in the month, according to data from Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White.

PBS has closed the month in positive territory 70% of the time in the past 10 years, with an average return of 1.6%. The exchange-traded fund (ETF) is trading at $33.31 today, pacing for its highest close since early August.
