- joelsg1: $IAK $AEP Almost nothing more defensive and not touched by Smoot Hawley-like tariffs than property/casualty insurance and utilities. $IAK is an etf of the top insurers and pays a 1.4% divi and $AEP is a top utility paying 3.4%. Both breaking out of strong uptrends.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $IAK $AEP - I like that IAK, except for low volume and of course for expense of an ETF, but it looks good. I have a couple P&C insurers that I've been holding.
- billyzeke: @joelsg1 $IAK $AEP My power bills say that AEP should be doing well...
- phgruver: @Bert953 $D Look at the utilities sector, $XLU, and you'll see that they peaked, back in early Dec. Of the ones I follow, $D is my least favorite. Management is too "woke", IMHO. Better plays, in the same space, are $DUK and $SO. I also own $AEP, but they are a bit ahead of the others, in this move, but might be worth considering. I would not consider investing in a utility that has exposure to CA., for obvious reasons.
- mopick: @phgruver $D $XLU $DUK $SO $AEP, how are they "too woke?"
- phgruver: @Wolf $UTF Interesting fund, but with an expense ratio of 3.97%, they are getting half of your dividend. I own 3 of their top ten investments, $DUK, $D and $SO. I also like $AEP a lot.
- phgruver: Good morning, y'all. It's quarterly payday, for several stocks ($IBM, $AEP, $MET). It's so frustrating, though, when the dividends received are dwarfed by recent losses. It's no wonder people feel the market is rigged.
- 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)
- jaeran: @woodman $XLV $XLU $ABBV $BMY $CVS $PFE $AEP $D $DUK $SO
- cgendro1: $AEP nice move today up through the 50dma. Longterm holding
- 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.
- 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: 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.
- phgruver: Utilities, $XLU, $AEP, $D, $DUK, $SO, are holding up well.
- 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, $SO. I guess this is an OK place to initiate or add, but I already have all I want....
- phgruver: Utilities ($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.
- 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.
- cmaxwel1: @phgruver $XLU $AEP $D $DUK $SO (I have a position in $XLU that I am adding to)
- 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%.
- jpoko13: $AEP $LNT Electric utilities on the move...both breaking out and on a steady climb
- traderdl: @phgruver $XLU $SO $DUK $AEP - nice heads up!
- phgruver: By the way, watch electric utilities $XLU for a rebound. They pay real dividends, which puts a pretty solid floor under them. Right now, $SO is paying over 4%, and $DUK is at 3.9%. These are nearing bargain levels. I also like $AEP at 3.45%. $AEP and $SO are right at their 200DMA.....
- Pokersmith: @phgruver $XLU $SO $DUK $AEP Not so fast, rising rates provide competition to utilities pay out...

- Hackberry: @phgruver $XLU $SO $DUK $AEP Weekly chart shows $XLU breaking down below 50 this week where in the past it had bounced 3 previous times when it hit there, so, maybe caution FWIW.

- scottrades: @Explorer $VIVO $AEP $OSK $REGN $DGX Hi Explorer. All of these charts look completely different. I like to trade the same patterns over and over so I know what a stock should do and how I need to react it does something differently.
- Explorer: @scottrades $VIVO $AEP $OSK $REGN $DGX -- Like the second derivative -- take a closer / Second look over time -- Thank You
- scottrades: @Explorer $VIVO $AEP $OSK $REGN $DGX Th best advice I can give is if you like these stocks, wait for them to setup in a pattern that you've seen play out in the past. Then you don't even need to think about what to do, you just react to it.

- mopick: $OKTA, $MVRL, $TEAM together with $PTON, $MTCH & $AEP, all joining the Nasdaq 100 index by Friday close. Wondering if any of these can be further propelled higher from this looming development?
- phgruver: @Kharrison67 Good dividend stocks change frequently, because they get overbought. Right now, the utilities $AEP, $DUK, $SO look pretty good, but $D has some question marks that need to be resolved before it's considered "safe". Some of the large pharma names , $ABBV, $BMY, $GSK, $PFE, also look good. $GSK and $ABBV are both in the 5% range on payout. Check the quarterly earnings against the dividend to make sure they can cover it. The BSD's and REIT's that usually dominate the income space aren't particularly safe, right now, because we don't know how badly the COVID displacement will hurt their earnings. High yielders aren't ever "safe" investments, but they have their place in an income portfolio. When all else fails, buy the $SPY or the $QQQ, after it's had a bad day or two.
- phgruver: Well, my $BAC dividend showed up in my account this morning. I've been in $BAC since 2009, but have added a few times along the way, so my cost basis in only $15/share. Given my cost basis, my yield is 4.8%. This, to me, is the essence of #VALUE investing. Find solid companies with sustainable dividends that are temporarily out of favor, buy and hang on. Often, this is headline driven, but you have to make sure it's not being caused by underlying weakness in the business. Right now, I'm watching the utilities for a setup. $AEP, $DUK and $SO are all showing market weakness.
- teacher5: @phgruver $BAC $AEP $DUK $SO #VALUE Good advice. Thanks.
- phgruver: @bRobert $XLU $D I added to my $D position this week. It has the most promising chart, and the best risk/reward of the utilities that I follow. I also own $AEP, $DUK, $SO. Steady Eddie income producers.
- bRobert: @phgruver $XLU $D $AEP $DUK $SO YES. $D. my favorite chart Very easy to hold $ED. off the floor Good swing trade utility due to volatility It always recovers
- phgruver: Utilities are doing well today as well. $XLU is up 3%. I'm holding $AEP (+1.36%), $D ( 1.9%) $DUK ( 2.53%) and $SO ( 3.46%) Remember, that all these pay significant dividends, and their business models won't be too severely impacted by COVID-19. I hold all these in long term investment accounts. These are not trades.
- AuAgPb: $AEP Bought at close on Friday. 59 minute trade Monday.
- phgruver: @mikey1942 $DUK All the utilities are getting crushed! I also have $AEP, $D and $SO. Just take a look at $XLU, though, and you see the picture. Electric utilities aren't going out of business (except maybe in Cal.), but they may be forced, by regulators, to cut their dividends. Also, governments are moving to deny utilities the ability to cut off service for non-payment, (most have already implemented non-cutoff policies on their own) and may even go toward debt forgiveness. Right now, though, I really thing utilities are oversold.
- michaelH: @Forexpro $SPY $XLU #Utilitiees #utilities That is helpful, thank you. Watching for now, but a few are on my radar: $AEP, $POR, and $D. I think the divergence you speak of will benefit the group.
- AuAgPb: $DUK $AEP Great swing trades Thursday. Looking for the next low around S2 70.58 .
- phgruver: @ckonelli $XLU I had intended to add to both my $DUK and $AEP, this week, but ended up diversifying by buying $D. It sports a better dividend at the current price. All are pretty "safe," but a bit extended. The big pullback last week was a gift, but I wasn't ready, so I couldn't take advantage of it. Utilities have been a bit extended since last Sept., and hard to buy....
- phgruver: @Yes-Man #Core_Position A core position is a strategic asset that you hold, through thick and thin, basically, forever. I have several, in several different accounts. These include $IBM, $DUK, $AEP, $MCD, and relatively newby $BMY. In addition, I ...
- Yes-Man: @phgruver $IBM $DUK $AEP $MCD $BMY $VFINX $FREL $IJR $FHKCX $SPY #Core_Position Thanks for the explanation, understood! One question : Is there a ratio for core position to trading position that is recommended by your experience or research? Or does it depend on the risk leve, etc.?
- phgruver: @Yes-Man $IBM $DUK $AEP $MCD $BMY $VFINX $FREL $IJR $FHKCX $SPY #Core_Position I have settled on 80% invested in core positions, and only 20% reserved for discretionary trades or cash. This seems to be working for me. It keeps me from taking too much risk. I should add, that during your working career, you should be adding to your core positions on a regular basis, as in every paycheck. That is the only way you will build an adequate retirement nest egg.
- southernmum: @phgruver $IBM $DUK $AEP $MCD $BMY $VFINX $FREL $IJR $FHKCX $SPY #Core_Position Do you add to your core positions every paycheck regardless of stock/etf price or wait for pullbacks to add?
- Yes-Man: @phgruver $IBM $DUK $AEP $MCD $BMY $VFINX $FREL $IJR $FHKCX $SPY #Core_Position Thank you for your complete explanation. It's really great to be a part of this form with wonderful members who share their experiences without hesitation! :>)
- phgruver: @southernmum $IBM $DUK $AEP $MCD $BMY $VFINX $FREL $IJR $FHKCX $SPY #Core_Position Absolutely, yes, with no exceptions. It has been proven, time and again, that you can't time the market. Even in the fall of 2008, I kept adding to my core positions. Now, I did buy a lot of puts against the market, and augmented my investments that way (I did quite well, actually.) You never know when the market is going to top, or bottom, but one thing is constant, the market will recover. Individual stocks may go bankrupt, but the market never does.
- southernmum: @phgruver $IBM $DUK $AEP $MCD $BMY $VFINX $FREL $IJR $FHKCX $SPY #Core_Position Thanks so much for your advice and explanation.

- Bridget: $AEP is starting to break out of this squeeze
- Sluggo: @Bridget $AEP Good catch, Bridget. Set alert for $90.50 based on this market. Welcome, back, luv. Hope you had a great time!
- Herb: @Bridget $AEP people hiding in the $XLU?
- Sluggo: @Herb $AEP $XLU Who's hiding? I just deal with the market that is given to me. Been gravitating towards high performing low beta for a couple of months.
- Bridget: $AEP trying to break out of this consolidation. I went long on Friday.
- phgruver: $XLU $AEP $D $DUK $ED $SO Utilities have taken a beating, these past 2 days, but the pullback is only to the 20 DMA. $DUK and $D seem to be the weakest, of the ones I follow. With respectable yields, $D=4.8%, $DUK=4.22%, this may be a place to add. I, personally, would like to see more of a pullback, as the utilities are quite extended, but the last meaningful pullback was back in late Dec. 2018, (along with everything else.)
-
phgruver: ...
My principle positions, in this space, are $DUK, and $AEP, but I've owned $SO, $D and $XLU in the past. If you look at the charts, you'll see that $DUK is in a topping pattern, and $D and $PEG have been trading sideways since March. The others, th ... - phgruver: @bRobert $ED $DIN $AEP is up 1.18%, $D is up 1.25%, $SO is up 1%. In times of uncertainty, investors tend to turn to the electric utilities. Frankly, though, as they are near their ATH's, and interest rates appear to be going lower, I'm expecting a pull back.
- mopick: @phgruver $ED $DIN $AEP $D $SO, if interest rates are going even lower why then would you expect utilities to lose value?? Logically, would seem to me, just the reverse.
- 1winkie: $AEP, $PPL, $D, $SO - Utilities electric - good dividends - all still doing well
- michaelH: @1winkie $AEP $PPL $D $SO Many look like they are ready to break out
- Trixie: @1winkie $AEP $PPL $D $SO Some of the #food or #StapleStocks are also doing quite well. $HRL, $MKC, $LW .Often goes with the scary market.
- phgruver: $XLU $AEP $DUK $ED $SO Utilities got clobbered again today. The index $XLU is down 1.37% and resting on the 100 DMA. This has been a sharp decline, I suspect because of the expectation of rising interest rates. The $XLU yields 3.45%, and a number of it's components do significantly better. Even if treasuries hold above 3%, utilities are a good buy, especially if you add on pullbacks. I'm looking to add, once I see the bottom is in.
- phgruver: $XLU $AEP $D $DUK $ED $SO Electric utilities took a 2% hit yesterday, on the anticipation that interest rates will go up by 0.5% by year end. If you are looking to add some steady dividend payers to your long term portfolio, this may be a good entry.
- phgruver: @phgruver $XLU $AEP $D $DUK $ED $SO I added to $XLU, this morning, at $53. So far, it's a reversal day....
- phgruver: @efrain007 $ED $D $DUK Sorry, a reply picks up any tickers in the original comment. My bad. $DUK services almost all of the Carolinas, eastern GA, and Fl. Also, $AEP does have some small exposure in the south western VA mountains through one of it's subsidiaries. $D is most of the rest of VA, well north of the storm's path. $ED is primarily in the north east.
- michaelH: $XLU $POR $AEP $MO Its not good news for the broader market that these are all close to breaking out/or reaching new highs. A simple indicator! Thoughts anyone?
- phgruver: @michaelH $XLU $POR $AEP $MO They are defensive names, so, no, it's not particularly good for the market. It indicates that investors are becoming more cautious. Don't think for a minute, if the market tanks, that these won't go down as well. They are primarily viewed as a less volatile place to park some money while waiting for the market to find it's direction. I have significant holdings in $AEP, $DUK and $XLU, but I'm not looking to add at these levels. They've had a good run and are near their highs.
- phgruver: @justinp $XLU $BKH $NRG $NFG $NEE Actually, $XLU is a reasonable investment vehicle. It has a 3.31% dividend, and tracks it's underlying sector fairly well. In addition to $XLU, I also have holding in $DUK and $AEP. Other include $SO and $D. Electric utilities generally provide a good steady income, and, as they are out of favor right now, a pretty good long term entry.
- justinp: @phgruver $XLU $BKH $NRG $NFG $NEE $DUK $AEP $SO $D Thanks, much appreciated. Seems like a sector that has moved into favor so more for the LT holdings. I suspect there are some yield hogs as well.
- phgruver: @debeers #Finland #Finland #Finland $XLU $DUK $AEP $SO $D $ED Actually, a safe recommendation, as utilities are way oversold. They may not outperform for the next quarter, but they will almost certainly make money.
- bRobert: @phgruver $XLU $DUK $AEP $SO $D $ED #Finland #Finland #Finland $XLP . too
- phgruver: @PJMR11 $CYBR $DUK $AEP $XLU making a nice pop as well. Also high yielders $NRZ and $NEWT
- phgruver: $DUK, $AEP, $SO, $D, $XLU Utilities are getting clobbered today! $XLU just engulfed 8 trading days, and is down over 3%.
