XLU -- The Best ETF For Volatile Times

Seeking Alpha has a page of articles about why XLU, the SPDR Utilities index, is a great diversifying stock for volatile times.  XLU has gained around 17% in the past 12 months, and it has gained more than 9% in 2014.  It also pays a dividend of more than 3%.  When the market corrected around 9% in September and October, XLU held virtually steady at around $42.  Then, it gained almost 10% to over $46 when the bullish recovery took place.  So, XLU should be a part of each investor's portfolio.
