Hi Alton, Re: new XLU AIM engine...............

It would appear that the Accumulation/Distribution line has flattened out and you're looking at a good confirmation from W%R as well for starting a new account.


Yield certainly beats Money Market Funds.

Here's a nice page for comparing ETFs in the same general sector:

Hi Alton, re XLU

I too started a new XLU AIM program today. I paid 41.67.

It is interesting to note the following CAGRs (longrundata.com) until today, divvies reinvested:

since inception (Dec 98): 5.74%
15-yr return: 6.69%
10-yr return: 6.64%
5-yr return: 12.23%

I am buying this for the 4% dividend and prepared to do a couple of adds if the price drops by 20% (very likely IMO).
