How to Take Advantage of the Great (Sector) Rotation

Tue, 14 May 2013 21:00:23 -0400

By Russ Koesterich, CFA, iShares Global Chief Investment Strategist One beneficiary of the 2013 US stock market rally: defensive sectors. Until recently, classic defensive sectors like utilities, healthcare and consumer staples outperformed as investors were just starting to dip their toes back into stocks focused on those parts of the market many considered safer and less volatile. But, as I wrote in my latest weekly commentary, over the past few weeks there has been some evidence that this is starting to change [see The Cheapest ETF for Every Investment Objective]. Utilities are down sharply in May, while healthcare and consumer staples companies are also shifting toward weaker performance.

Companies Increase Dividends: ETFs To Play

Wed, 01 May 2013 09:00:20 -0400

The first quarter of 2013 earnings season has taken over the headlines, with several bellwethers reporting both hits and misses. Of the trends seen so far this season, firms missing revenue expectations seems to be a predominant one; many companies have beaten profits not because revenues are up, but because costs have decreased. However, some firms have surprised investors and analysts alike by significantly increasing dividend payouts [see What Can You Buy With Apple's Cash?]. For those investors looking benefit from the slew of rising dividends, we highlight several companies have increased payouts and which ETFs to play: MLPs Shell Out Higher Dividends Investors may want to take a closer look at MLP ETFs, as several of the funds’ top holdings have announced dividend increases [see How To Find The Best MLP ETF]: Atlas Pipeline Partners LP (APL): This company raised its annual payout from $2.32 to $2.36 per share.

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 09:00:54 -0400

The 2013 first quarter earnings season is well on its way, with several bellwethers reporting both hits and misses. Already this week, oil-giant Haliburton (HAL) reported earnings that came in well above expectations, while Caterpillar’s (CAT) earnings missed the mark, though the stock gained after the company’s CEO was less pessimistic than expected in his conference call. Travelers (TRV) and DuPont (DD) also topped earnings expectations, and both companies announced that they will increase dividends [see also How To But The Right ETF Every Time].

Only Fourteen Dow Components With Recent Insider Buying, XOM is One of Them

Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:29:46 -0400

The officers and directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when these insiders make purchases, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason for a company insider to choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both.

A Deeper Look At America’s Commodity Industry

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 09:00:25 -0500

According to the CIA World Fact Book, the United States operates the largest single-country economy in the world. Its gross domestic product for 2011 was estimated at $15.3 trillion, trailing the European Union, which is comprised of 27 different countries, by only $360 billion. China remains in third place, as the developing economy continues to see rapid growth in recent years due to its build out of industrial capacity and its growing class of individual consumers. Growth in the U.S., however, remains subdued below 2%. The global economic slowdown has certainly hampered the nation’s growth, but there still remains a few economic bright spots, namely the advancement of domestic energy production [for more commodity news and analysis subscribe to our free newsletter].

Thursday’s ETF To Watch: Dow Jones U.S. Energy Sector Fund (IYE)

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 04:00:58 -0400

Equity markets drifted sideways with a downward bias yesterday as investors digested a string of lackluster reports. Disappointing quarterly performance results from Apple and Netflix dragged the technology sector into red territory, while political gridlock in Washington, D.C. over the looming tax vote didn’t help to restore investors’ confidence. The cherry on the cake of uncertainty was a worse-than-expected new home sales report at home along with U.K. GDP contracting by 0.7% for the quarter [see also Why Jim Rogers Thinks Gold Will Drop 20%]. Earnings Preview Energy bellwether Exxon Mobil (XOM) is slated to report quarterly performance results later today after the opening bell on Wall Street.
