Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR (XLP)
Q: Hi,
I was bit surprised by your answer to Kevin's question today about your sector preferences. You had chosen the following: XIT/XRE/XFN/XLY/XLV.
I thought given the current possible recession scenario lurking in the background and also from your own answers to others, you would have chosen XLP, soft or hard landing people need Staples to survive, XEG because of all the uncertainties, XBM/GLD as one expects demand to go up when China opens up. Plus as a hedge against the USD going down.
There must be a reason for your choice. I am curious to find what your rationale was/is.
Q: Please commend on these two Consumer Defensive US EFTs – XLP & IYK (iShares US Consumer Staples ETF). If one has to choose one for long term hold, 50/50 balance on growth and yield, which one would you recommend?
Thanks,
Roger

Q: Apparently, there are 11 major sectors in the S&P (Global Industry Classification Standard). Could you please list one ETF to best represent EACH major sector of the S&P? For example, would IUIT best represent the entire Info Tech sector of the S&P? It seems the SPDR funds are much more specific than the 11 GICS sectors:
Information Technology
Health Care
Financials
Consumer Discretionary
Communication Services
Industrials
Consumer Staples
Energy
Utilities
Real Estate
Materials
Thank you very much.
