XLC: Even The Dogs Are Rallying
XLC is outperforming in 2024, with broad-based rallies beyond just mega-cap names like Alphabet, Meta, and Netflix. The sector's diverse composition and reasonable valuation (P/E ~18) provide room for multiple expansion and continued outperformance. Recent earnings and macro trends suggest markets were too pessimistic, and the economic backdrop supports further gains for XLC.

Never Bet Against America? I'm Considering It With This International ETF
The U.S. remains the dominant global economic power, but ongoing trade tensions may threaten its long-term leadership. I continue to invest in American businesses, but believe diversifying internationally is prudent for long-term wealth building. Uncertainty from U.S. trade policies could prompt other nations to unify and reduce reliance on America, shifting global dynamics.

XLC: The Valuation And Technicals Lining Up After The 20% Plunge (Rating Upgrade)
I am upgrading the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF Fund from a hold to a buy, due to compelling valuation and technical indicators suggesting a near-term bottom. XLC's valuation is attractive at 17x forward earnings, significantly below its 5-year average, and its technicals indicate potential support around the $82-$83 zone. XLC is heavily weighted towards megacaps like GOOG, META, and NFLX, which command 35% of the portfolio, making their fundamentals and technicals crucial.
