month, Gina Sanchez of Chantico
Global said this is only the start of a
sell-off in utilities.

However, it is not yet time to sell all
utilities.

12. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
One name that looks particularly
attractive is Duke Energy, said Eddy
Elfenbein, editor of the Crossing Wall
Street blog.

13. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
Duke Energy has fallen more than 21
percent year to date, but Elfenbein
said the stock could be a good

might be time to sell utilities now and

When Will It Happen?

16. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
The Fed has been hinting at an
interest rate increase for a year and a
half.

17. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
Now as unemployment is down to 5%,
manufacturing is heading back up and
the first hint of price inflation has
occurred most analysts expect the
Fed to raise rates in December.

18. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
Forbes concurs that the Fed’s
interest rate rise will be in
December.

19. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
Even before the latest inflation
figures, the US numbers for October,
the general consensus was that the
Federal Reserve is going to start
raising interest rates at their
December meeting in the 15th and
16th of that month.

20. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
Now that we’ve seen those inflation
numbers barring any further surprises
then we’re close to a stone cold
certainty that rates will indeed start
rising next month.

21. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
The problem for the Fed is that if they
raise rates too soon and too high it
could choke off the recovery from the
worst recession since the Great
Depression.

22. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
If they wait too long inflation could get
ahead of them.

23. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
Typically it takes around a year and a
half for an increase in interest rates to
work its way through the economy
and reduce inflation.

24. http://profitableinvestingtips.com/bond-investing/time-to-sell-utilities
If you own them it might just be time
to sell utilities before rates go up and
stock prices fall.
