Utilities trading rangeUtilities have been trading in a tight range since the pandemic. Buy when it gets to the bottom of the range, sell/trim or write covered calls when it gets to the top of the range.
VPU weekly chart - might be ready to plunge - 5/17/2016I want to be very cautious about VPU as a correction might be underway.
VPU weekly - similar to June 2008? - 2/28/2016Looks similar but uncertain. But the real deal is if it will ever break the red support. We will see.
VPU weekly - had a golden cross - 2/12/2016VPU had a golden cross last week but this week was down hard. So far on the weekly it is still bullish.
VPU update - short term bullish - 3/16/2015Strong rebound for the past 4 trading days due to oversold.
