- Docoof: @steve71 $IWM $IHI $XBI $XLV In your opinion, does it make sense to include $KIE with these? It’s the S&P’s insurance ETF. (Although, it’s currently very slightly in the red.)
- steve71: @Docoof $IWM $IHI $XBI $XLV $KIE You are probably right. Higher interest rates are good for insurance as they get more return on their massive cash flows. In the short run they take a hit in their quarterly reports - they have to mark to market (down) the older low interest paper they hold. But long run they like the higher rates. Question is, how much less insurance is sold in a recession?
- Docoof: @steve71 $IWM $IHI $XBI $XLV $KIE Thanks for taking the time to give a detailed answer. Your answer makes it clear that, although insurance companies could do ok, that sector is not typically thought of as recession-resistant growth—and that’s what I was wondering about. Thanks!
- steve71: @Docoof $IWM $IHI $XBI $XLV $KIE One exception to recession slowing might be medical insurance. UNH, CAH etc are turning into conglomerates which provide insurance, pharmacy benefits, clinics, vaccinations etc. Owning XLV captures some of those.
- Docoof: $KIE The SPDR S&P Insurance ETF is very close to breaking out to a new ATH.

- spmeyers: $KIE Insurance ETF is holding up pretty well, still above 50-day; % moves are too small for my swing trading but could make a good position holding

- efrain007: @DAN $DJUSBK $KRE $WTFC $EWBC $HDB $MS $C $FITB $XLF $XME $KIE $XL $AHL $ITA $HON $LMT $GD Hi Dan, do you see any stocks in the $XME that you like?
- DAN: @efrain007 $DJUSBK $KRE $WTFC $EWBC $HDB $MS $C $FITB $XLF $XME $KIE $XL $AHL $ITA $HON $LMT $GD Right now, the only one that looks interesting is Newmont Mining ($NEM)...and I wouldn't buy that one unless it falls back to $34. In this weird market, I want to buy as close to resistance as possible. Breakouts really aren't working right now. Other than that, I'm watching steel stocks, but have not taken any position.
- Nepenthe: @DAN $DJUSBK $KRE $WTFC $EWBC $HDB $MS $C $FITB $XLF $XME $KIE $XL $AHL $ITA $HON $LMT $GD $NEM "As close to resistance as possible?" Why resistance if break outs are failing? Just curious.
- learnoption: $KIE $PFG $MET $HIG $PRU $MFC I've been following these insurance stocks for awhile now...they've taken off since the election. Maybe too late to buy rhrn but watch for a pullback. Most have decent dividends.
- ssteve: $XLF - @DAN last night talked about $XLF making a turn-around (slowly) and that banks did not look good at the same time. After analyzing $XLF components, I think we have to look at the sub-sectors of $XLF to get a good picture of what is going on. So far I have some up with the following subsectors, your help and suggestion is appreciated. I am adding them to my 'XLF' watchlist: $RKH - Regional Banks $KIE - Insurance (this one is swinging up) $IAI - Brokers MG411 - Money Center Banks (is there an equiv. ETF?) MG423 - Asset Management If you look at the above, some are going up, some down. Unfortunately, there is no direct relationship between 'insurance' and 'banking'. So I think we need to dive down inside $XLF, before we make decision about XLF.
- richard9f: $KIE Insurance etf performing better than banks (BKX). $HIG is popping (BB expansion) and is making a run at 25 for the 2nd time today.
