TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate this ultra low-MER US utilities based ETF as a defensive TOP PICK.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate XLU, a US-based utilities ETF, as a defensive holding that provides a solid yield. This can act as a hedge against investor equity holding in case of a broad market retracement. A good place to be during this uncertainty in Europe. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $54) to $58. Yield 2.98%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Thus utilities based ETF is a defensive holding that provides a solid yield. This can act as a hedge against investor equity holding in case of a broad market retracement. Utility holdings also benefit during a prolonged low interest rate environment. We would trade this with a $54 stop-loss. Yield 3.38%

SELL
He would sell some positions. It's done very well, but he doesn't expect a repeat this year. There probably won't be a huge capital gain though you will continue to get dividends. It might not do as well as the index.
E.T.F.'s
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 09/18, Up 19%) This was a call on interest rates abating. He likes the risk diversification of the ETF. He has moved more to real estate, but would still hold.
E.T.F.'s
WAIT
Utilities sector in the US. It is more correlated with interest rates and when they fall this is good for the sector. He does not like it on a risk/reward basis. It is expensive right now. If stocks collapse, then this will be the safest sector to invest in and generate a yield.
E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK
Utilities. He thinks rates are going higher but less so now. They are not as big a headwind as they could have been. The top three names are renewables. You have better predictability of revenue, which is good in a downturn. They are definitely defensive.
E.T.F.'s
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick September 12/17 Up 2%) This was a bit of a gamble, but worked out on a total return basis. They saw this as a lifejacket in a market nearing peak levels.

E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK

He thinks this is the best of the bond proxy sector that may face some short term headwinds, but is backed by energy trends and modernization of infrastructure. He does not expect this to be a hero, but a conservative holding. Yield 4%.

E.T.F.'s
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 17/17. Up 8%.) This is one where he did almost 65% on a return. He cleared out of this in July at around $54.

E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK

US growth is moderate, just not putting up accelerating growth. This is a kind of environment where steady state utilities can do really well for you. Rates don’t seem to be shooting up anytime soon as inflation is just not there.
