 		Dave Rosenberg 11/23/2009 Utility in Utilities
In a deflationary environment, price protection from regulators is always key as is yield to investors. At 4.5%, not only is the dividend yield in the utilities sector the second highest among all S&P 500 groups (only telecom is higher at 5.7%) but is more than double the yield of the S&P 500; at least as high as what you can garner from the debt of most utility companies; and is more than the yield you can get from the long bond (and more than twice the yield of the 5-year Treasury note).

I am playing this headline with (IGF XLU) because Owning ‘natural monopolies’ in an overall deflationary backdrop, which we have been in frequently over the past 10 years, is at least one way to secure returns that are minimally in line with overall nominal GDP growth (so far this decade, nominal GDP has risen barely over 40%).
