The YouTuber recommends XLU for safety and dividends in a market facing higher interest rates and potential economic slowdown. He suggests utilities and consumer staples offer relative safety compared to growth stocks.
“That means look for safety and dividends in stocks like the select sector spider utilities ETF ticker XLU.”
The YouTuber suggests the XLU ETF as an indirect investment in volatility. When market uncertainty rises and stocks fall, investors typically flock to 'safety stocks' like utilities, which have more stable cash flows. This ETF provides broad exposure to the utility sector, which has seen gains during recent market downturns.
“investors have rushed to that safety pushing utilities up 32% and Staples up almost 2% over the period”
The YouTuber suggests XLU for exposure to the utility sector, known for its stability due to essential services and high barriers to entry. It pays a 3.2% dividend and has shown resilience during market downturns, providing an 8.1% annual return over the last decade.
“or the utility sector spider Fund ticker xlu which holds all the S&P 500 stocks in that sector pays a 3.2% dividend and has produced an 8.1% annual return.”
The utilities sector is experiencing its worst year since 2008, making it a 'once in a generation opportunity' for this traditionally safe sector. Utility stocks are trading at a 15% discount to their long-term P/E ratio and offer an average 3.3% dividend yield, providing stable long-term returns.
“we're seeing a once in a generation opportunity for this traditionally safe sector utility stocks are trading for a discount of 15 on that long-term p e ratio and pay a 3.3 dividend yield on average”
The analyst strongly recommends the XLU ETF, citing its current undervaluation (down 8.4% YTD and 15% over the last year), attractive 3.1% dividend yield, and low valuation of 16.6 times forward earnings. He believes it offers safety during market pullbacks, potential price appreciation, and a strong dividend, making it a 'win-win scenario' for investors.
“I think there's a big gap between the actual valuations what these companies should be producing as far as investor returns and what they've been producing I think that leaves that opens up a premium for investors jumping in now besides that 3.1 percent dividend investors are now are going to collect from a sector ETF like the xlu that's the spider utility sector ETF the xlu and just a rock bottom valuation of just 16.6 times forward earnings stocks in the sector should provide safety if the market continues to fall in a minor pullback so again you've got a very strong dividend yield upside to the price appreciation as well as a protection from any kind of a market crash or even a minor pullback I think that's win-win scenario for investors here”
The analyst recommends investing in sector-specific ETFs like the Spider Utilities Fund (XLU) to diversify the portfolio away from its heavy real estate concentration. These sectors (consumer staples, utilities, healthcare) tend to be safer and hold up better during a recession, offering a higher return than a money market account while balancing the portfolio.
“They could go the easier out with some of the sector funds like the spyder utilities fund that's the ticker xlu or the spyder consumer staples fund the xlp or just pick a few of the individual stocks within those sectors.”
The YouTuber suggests the Utility Select Sector SPDR fund (XLU) as a defensive investment, noting that utilities are essential services with predictable revenues. While not as strong as consumer staples or healthcare, it still offers better resilience than the S&P 500 during downturns.

The YouTuber suggests buying XLU, a utilities ETF, as a hedge. The rationale is that utilities tend to perform well when interest rates fall, which he anticipates given his bearish outlook on the broader market and inflation.
