$XLU is still in an uptrend.
$XBI is close to the 2024 highs.
We need to expect volatility tomorrow when the Interest Rate Decision comes down and then around the press conference. It’s usually a good idea to wait until Fed Chair Powel ... - woodman: #REITs / $XLRE $TLT $XLU Bonds ($XLV and $IYZ kinda) are some of what's working in this frustrating/crappy Market.
- mopick: @woodman $XLRE $TLT $XLU $XLV $IYZ #REITs, check out $RNP (Cohen & Steers Reit/Preferred Fund), yielding 7%, another new high. Also, $UTF, another Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, new high, yielding close to 7%. Lastly, $VICi, gaming Reit, new high, 5% yield. Long-term holder of all these.
- woodman: @mopick $XLRE $TLT $XLU $XLV $IYZ $RNP $UTF $VICi #REITs, - Some nice ones. $IRM is another nice one, which I've added to my what's working/safety(?) portfolio.
- mopick: @woodman $XLRE $TLT $XLU $XLV $IYZ $RNP $UTF $VICi $IRM #REITs, WOW, missed that one, up an astounding 61% ytd. Trades at over 32 x FFO.
- phgruver: Healthcare $XLV, and utilities, $XLU are my best performers, so far today. In healthcare I have $ABBV, $BMY, $CVS and $PFE. I would suggest you stay away from $PFE, but the others are cooking! In utilities I have $AEP, $D, $DUK and $SO. I'm not real happy with $D, but the others all have nice charts and pay decent dividends. $AEP, $DUK and $SO are all breaking out from a squeeze and are above the upper Bollinger Band.
- woodman: @phgruver $XLV $XLU $ABBV $BMY $CVS $PFE $AEP $D $DUK $SO - Some additional sectors, perhaps: XLRE, SDY, maybe IHI (but nearing rising resistance), and maybe XLF & GLD/IAU (they are resting today)

- phgruver: In doing my "health check" of my existing long term positions, I noticed that $XLU is trading just below an uptrending 50DMA, and may be ready to take the next leg higher. Interest rates play heavy on the sector, but they seem to be holding steady, so not much of a headwind. All my favorite names in this space, $AEP, $D, $DUK, $SO, are all finding support at the current level, and are all in spitting distance of the 50dma. As I see it, over the next few weeks,$XLU should be able to move back up to it's recent high at $73, a 7% move. Wait for a green day, but if the pre-market holds, that will be today. Keep in mind that most utilities pay generous dividends, so the downside is somewhat limited.
- Pard: $XLU entry opportunity today for those who missed the move, like me. Utilities are moving higher, so I hear on bloomberg radio, due to promises of greater profitability with implementation of more AI.
- DrScience: $XLU has broken above the intermediate-term downtrend channel and is looking to open at $72, the middle of the very long-term (15-yr) uptrend channel. The next target is ATH at 78.22, set in SEP 2022.
- Pard: @DrScience $XLU Indeed looking good!
- traderbren: $XLU - may be running out of stream here after this phenomenal run.
- traderbren: $XLU - the May 72.50 puts might work for the $XLU breaks 71 -- for a trade
- traderbren: #MOMO - who would have thunk $XLU as a momo play. Just walked up the 8ema after the 50d crossed up through the 200d. NP
- vitoB: @traderbren $XLU #MOMO ....totally...speaking of $MOMO chinese consumer bottoming..np
- phgruver: @traderbren $XLU #MOMO The utilities have been beaten down for so long ... they are just playing catch up. If you are already in them, then great!, ...but you can't do much RHRN. On a 6 month chart they are all extended, but if you back off to a 3 year chart, they are just coming off the bottom. Wait for a pullback to the 20dma, if you are really interested.
- traderbren: @phgruver $XLU #MOMO - agreed. I was in for part of the ride, but no longer....and wouldn't recommend anyone touch $XLU at this level. The move has already happened.
- DrScience: $XLU It ain't sexy, but it does keep you warm at night. I haven't posted on the stock in a while, but alert was triggered as price is moving above the top of the downtrend channel on the monthly chart.
- phgruver: Just looking at some sectors: $XLU (electric utilities) is up for the 3rd day in a row. Also $XLV (healthcare) is up a bit, but, more importantly, showing a bottoming formation near the 200dma. Both of these are defensive plays, which may be saying something about the market mindset....
- phgruver: Good morning. Not seeing anything to get excited about. $XLF, $XLP and $XLU look interesting, but we need the whole market to firm up. I'll probably be finding other things to do, today.
- traderbren: $XLU - fairly steep pull back to the 50d, but provided a nice bounce today. Let's see if it can clear the 8ema overhead.
- phgruver: @traderbren $XLU $XLU Most members of $XLU offer significant dividends, that puts a floor under the price. $AEP=4.43%, $D=5.7%, $DUK=4.41%, $SO=4.13%. With the 50dma and the 200dma right below the current price, this ETF is definitely worth a look. I own significant LT positions in the listed stocks.
- curtis: @phgruver $XLU $AEP $D $DUK $SO (I would rather be in 30 day T Bills )
- phgruver: @curtis $XLU $AEP $D $DUK $SO T Bills may be safer, but $XLU will give you capital appreciation. In the long run, a much better deal - at least it has been for the last 20 years....
- phgruver: Good morning, y'all. My day was green in one account, and red in the other. Utilities ($XLU) took a pounding yesterday! We'll see how well they recover. As a sector, they are trading near their 52 week lows.
- phgruver: Today was a pretty good day, overall, but my utilities took me negative on the day. While $AEP down because it went x-div for $0.88 (- $0.51 on the day), $DUK was down after reporting an earnings and revenue miss and lowered guidance for 2024 $DUK reported earnings of $1.51/share vs expectations of $1.54/share on revenue of $7.21B vs estimates of $7.49B. YOY, earnings per share were up from 2022, but revenue was down by 1.89%. Guidance for 2024 full year eps was projected to be in the $5.85 to $6.10 range, vs. analysts projections of $5.98/share. As was discussed earlier today, electric utilities ($XLU) is a sector that you have to buy right if you want to make any money. There generally isn't much capital appreciation, but they pay a reasonable dividend reliably. This selloff may be the opportunity to add to a $DUK position.
- phgruver: ...Meanwhile $XLU is up. Of my holdings, $AEP, $DUK and $SO are all looking pretty good. These are defensive stocks, and are used for income in a LT portfolio. None are at an "ideal" entry, but are near the middle of their trading range.
- bigbartabs: $XLU $UTSL ... utilities getting hammered
- champ: @bigbartabs $XLU $UTSL ....#Computers........Yes sir and it sure seems like for RHRN. there are not very many longs plays left to work with. Computers are taking, dragging all of those profits off....and it is real hard to beat the computers. However the lower everything drops, the better it is for Traders...the Longs and the Shorts....and the Longs are Waiting.....they smell $$$$ and they will be coming at some point. ....Always need the Markets to drop...before the next round of nice Entries, start to pop-up....and the computers will make sure that they will start to pop-up, at some point. And....as we all know, Nothing ever goes straight-up. And....they sure screwed-up the Energy sector, however they are always on plan.
- Docoof: #FWIW $XLU Utilities having a decent day on above avg. volume.
- champ: @Docoof $XLU #FWIW...Nice Alert....Day-4 on this nice move....could be the #start of some type of Rotation...for the Markets.
- phgruver: Utilities, $XLU, $AEP, $D, $DUK, $SO, are holding up well.
- DrScience: #Markets NQ much stronger than ES but expect the $SPY to drag on any rally in $QQQ. Today's advance is very narrow, and mixed -- 5 sectors green and 6 red. Selling in $XLF, $XLI, and $XLE are dragging while $XLU, $XLC, and $XLP are strong.
- phgruver: Hey @Dan, I'd love to contribute more, on either forum, but all I'm seeing is more of "nothing to do." None of the issues I watch are setting up. The only thing that I have that is up today are my electric utilities $XLU, $AEP, $D, $DUK, $SO. I guess this is an OK place to initiate or add, but I already have all I want....
- DrScience: #Markets $SPY double bottom at 395.50 on 5-min chart at Noon. Of course, it's lower than the triple bottom at 396 just 45 minutes before. What does it mean? Pshew! I don't know. Mr. Market wants to be bullish, but only $XLE, $XLU and $XLP are higher than the open. Everything else is under water, gasping for air. If $XLK and $XLV can stage a rally, then they could pull $SPY back to retest the open at 398, but VWAP stand in the way. Acceptance above 398 doesn't change today's neutral tone much, but a move above the 399 double top does, at least, until we slam into the 50 DMA at 400. That's where the bears are lying in wait! And... there you have it.
- Docoof: @DrScience $SPY $XLE $XLU $XLP $XLK $XLV #Markets Thx.

Rockstar: ...
The ETF's are deteriorating as well. The market has already lost the $XLE although yesterday it seemed to put in a fight. Maybe it will build a base here and be an opportunity going forward. The $XLP, $XLV, $XLB, $XLU, $XME, and $TAN are all coming ... - phgruver: An interesting move in #Utilities, $XLU is sitting right on it's 200dma, which is fairly flat. The trend, since the Oct. 13 bottom, has been a narrow channel moving up. The uptrend has now intersected the 200dma, but the current price is at the bottom of the channel. I doubt that there's $10 of upside from here, but most of the utilities pay decent dividends as well. Along the same line, first energy cousin $XLE is at an interesting inflection point. Up 2.16%, at this writing, it is also near the uptrending 200dma. Other oil companies have been mentioned by others, but don't loose sight of $APA. It didn't sell off as badly as the $XLE, and has now almost reclaimed the 50dma. This one may be ready for another leg up. A move back to $50, from here, would be a 10% move.
- phgruver: Utilities ($XLU) are catching a bid today. Of the ones I follow, $AEP is doing the best, as it breaks above it's 200dma. $SO and $DUK are both below the 200dma, but climbing. I don't actually follow $ED, but it looks pretty good too. As for $D, I'd say avoid it.

- natural: @natural $XLU $UTSL And I'm out. Just have to take 11% overnight. Been burned too many times lately waiting for more. I should add that now it'll really take off!
- phgruver: $D continues to be a drag on the $XLU as a wave of downgrades continue pummel the stock. Ironically, the current price of $D is well below lowered estimates, which run in the $75 range. The 4.26% dividend is well covered by earnings, though, and doesn't seem to be in imminent danger of being cut. Need to see a bottom form before considering investing in $D
- natural: $XLU $UTSL Looks to me like it's working on a daily handle. Last night I read an interesting macro economic article that talked about what a Fed pivot to lower interest rates would do to stocks. He specifically used late (Aug) 2000 - early (Mar) 2001. "In 2001, the Fed caved in. The pressure on the labor market and earnings had become large, and inflation showed some preliminary signs of easing. In early 2001, the Fed rapidly cut rates by 150 bps and never looked back. A true Fed pivot. That must have implied a weaker US Dollar and stocks to the moon, right? Try again. The S&P 500 dropped another 12%, and the DXY appreciated another 6%." Utilities were up 14% from Aug 2000 - Mar 2001.
- Doug1: @natural $XLU $UTSL Good information Thanks!
- phgruver: The $XLU is taking a hit today. The main culprit seems to be $D, which is down 6+ %, after multiple downgrades. $D is "reviewing" their business, from top to bottom. Of the utilities I follow, $D is the most problematic with questionable leadership, from my perspective. It isn't particularly investor friendly....
- phgruver: $XLE and $XLU are both looking pretty good, in this crappy tape.... (I'm sitting on my hands.)
- phgruver: Utilities, $XLU, are a little soft, this morning, but seem to be building a base. This may be a good entry point for someone looking to build up the income portion of their long term portfolio. You don't get much capital appreciation in utilities, but the dividends are steady and reliable. Pullbacks, such as this, are relatively rare opportunities to add. While they certainly could go lower, the relatively high yield puts a bid under them whenever they pull back. In my long term accounts, I am long $AEP, $D, $DUK and $SO. Of these, I like $D the least, but it also seems to have the most upside potential. RHRN, I would probably be most inclined to add to $DUK.

DAN: ...
$XLU -- Utilities are getting crushed b/c of rising rates. Utilities are a safe haven, but not in a rising rate environment. This is the crosscurrent that’s roiling the market.
$XOP -- a lot of stocks are setting up here.
$CLR -- solid fundam ... - phgruver: The utilities, $XLU, but specifically $AEP, $D, $DUK, $SO are getting a bid, today, after selling off since 9/13/22. The initial heavy volume has tapered off, somewhat, but the price seems to be holding well above Friday's low. You don't invest in $XLU for capital appreciation, but you do look for selloffs as entry points for #VALUE and income. The utilities, generally, work like bonds providing a steady stream of income with minimal capital risk. This recent selloff was triggered by the view that bonds will become more attractive as yields increase. Is this the bottom for the $XLU? Hard to say, but with $DUK yielding 4.51%, I can't see income investors letting it go much lower. $AEP is at 3.76%, $D is at 4.15%, and $SO yields 4.24%.
- DrScience: #Markets at 1:00pm EDT Sectors 10:1 Negative (only $XLU is green since the open) Breadth: -4.5:1 NYSE, -4.3:1 NASD. Adv/Dec -1500 and falling, TICKs: consistently and firmly negative, hitting -1400 during the lunch hour. Takeaway: Bears firmly in control. The market cannot rally far as long as the current conditions persist. $SPX Consider the Opening High ($3650) secure for selling premium above.

- DrScience: #Markets $SPY $SPX /ES Bears are taking today's action with a grain of salt. The bulls are in charge but haven't been able to push above the top of the range at $371. Still, they've come close to yesterday's high at $370.40 and are rotating in fresh pushers on every pullback. Breadth is nicely positive 9.8:1 NYSE, 5.2:1 NASD. Advance/Decline line is flat at 2300+, and plus volume continues to build on the day. S&P sectors are 10:1 green, with $XLE leading the way and only $XLU slightly below water.
- Docoof: @DrScience $SPY $SPX $XLE $XLU #Markets Helpful-Thx!
- phgruver: My best performing sector, today is Utilities ($XLU). Of those I actually follow, $DUK and $D are actually at reasonable buy points, rebounding off the 50DMA, and just above the 200DMA. I can't really recommend the sector, though, because of politics. Simply put, as electric bill rise, and as political temperatures rise, the utilities tend to become political footballs. Everybody hates the power company! If you have the stomach for it, though, and are looking to add consistent income to your long term portfolio, you might start/add a small position here, and look to add more if headlines drive them lower.

Now, my LT account, which I don't trade, is actually doing pretty well (look at $XLU, $XLF, $XLV for clues there.)

Consumer Staples ($XLP), Utilities ($XLU), and Real Estate ($XLRE) are the only green sectors since the open. The two heavyweights, Technology ($XLK) and Healthcare ($XLV), are red. Until those two sectors start pulling toward the upper right, expect the bears to reassert their presence at every test of VWAP. $TICK is showing bearish intent and Breadth is firmly negative. Until those dynamics and tone change, the market is in the doghouse. The $VIX is up $1.40 over yesterday's close, and the slight reprieve in $DXY has been negated as the US Dollar Index is hitting a new high at $109.294.

$NVDA Add ... - scottrades: @JJS $XLU The longer term trend on XLU is well in tact. I would think $SPY or $QQQ are a better return on your money if you're in cash. I used to look at Dividends for longer term accounts but it's not something I specialize in.
- JJS: @Dan, @scottrades, @bRoberts, question re $XLU. Currently a cash position is losing money, I hear 7.9% coming out of every dollar...what if those with a large cash position would temporarily position it in something like $XLU which has a pretty flat chart but with a current 2.83% Yld. Thanks for thoughts or alternatives.
- bRobert: @JJS $XLU I would prefer $XOM or other oil 4.3 % div and going higher $CVX $3.5% $190/$200 target
