Industrials Continue To Look Good (XLI, UXI)

The ETF Professor recommended watching the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSE: XLI) for Monday's trading session and it was a good call as blue chip holdings such as Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) and General Electric (NYSE: GE) helped lift the market higher.

The Professor is a believer in the theme of quality stocks asserting some leadership and if risk appetite wanes a bit, investors that don't want to turn to cash, will seek refuge in blue chip names. That makes XLI a fine long-term play for conservative investors.

For those that want a little more risk on a shorter-term trade, the Professor calls your attention to the Ultra Industrials ProShares ETF (NYSE: UXI). UXI is the 2x leveraged play on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, where Caterpillar and GE, among others, reside.

UXI is the ideal way to place a leveraged bet on further strength in the blue chips.
