Utilities are among those sectors most regulated in the U.S. They do not enjoy escapes from corrupt politicians, as they cannot expand overseas. The are confided to the U.S. and subjected to more of the bad than the good. They do pay nice dividends, however. The Dow Utilities was among the strongest bullish performers in the 2003-2007 stock market bull. However, it is significantly weak in the prevailing 2009-2013 stock market bull. Its performance has been extraordinarily pathetic with the increased Fascism in the U.S. This is a bit unusual for a sector that can turn the meters off, if not getting paid. Despite all of that, the Indicant's performance advantage over buy and hold is 365.5%. The Indicant's account value is $606,309 to buy and hold's $56,260 since 1929's $10,000 investment.
