Are Your Investments Overbought? Time to Trim the Fat
At Extreme Investor Network, we pride ourselves on providing valuable and actionable investment advice. Today, we want to discuss a common phenomenon in the market – the overbought sector.
From time to time, a particular area or theme in the market becomes so popular and overvalued that it is deemed “overbought” and “expensive”. One such sector currently experiencing this is the S&P 500 Utilities sector, as indicated by our analysis.
Looking at the chart of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU) since the 2009 Financial Crisis low, it is evident that XLU is currently trading at levels of overbought and expensive not seen since the 2009 low. This is determined by factors such as its distance from the 150-day moving average and the P/E ratio reaching an all-time high of 24.49.
