Market Summary > Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI-N)

XLI charges only 10 basis points, pays a small 1.58% dividend yield, but it holds some heavy hitters: Honeywell, UPS, Union Pacific, Boeing, Raytheon and Caterpillar in that order. Yes, GE also sits in this basket, but so do Lockheed Martin and Deere. The biggest holding, Honeywell, has exposure to defense, but more so automation in manufacturing, a growing area and one that’s needed in the current labour shortage.

Industrial US ETF? In the US industrial sector he sees it as being a tough place to be lately. He would look at some of the BMO family of ETFs. You have to be careful that you are not too concentrated (ie. Boeing). He has owned XLI. He has a neutral view on the space and would probably wait.

SPDR Industrial (XLI-N) or SPDR Technology (XLK-N)? He likes the industrial space and the technology area as well. If you are asking for a very timely standpoint, technology came down a little in the last week or so, so he would probably buy XLK-N right now. He wouldn’t necessarily buy this one just for tax reform and corporate tax cuts. That’s something which would help earnings, and will certainly help a lot of industrial names.

This has some of his favourite stuff in it, such as defence stocks, plus a lot of industrial stuff.

(A Top Pick Oct 27/16. Up 12.15%.) Chart shows a consolidation phase running from April through to October inclusive, then getting hit with the Trump Bump. It has run up a lot. Structurally he still thinks it is good. The next seasonal period goes from January 23 to May 5. If it becomes a little bit weaker, who consider exiting, and look for it to come back in the 2^nd seasonal period.
