In this edition of StockCharts TV's The Final Bar, Dave continues a five-part series covering ten charts to watch in August 2024, with a focus today on Utilities and Real Estate. Why do low-beta, high-income stocks do so well in bearish market phases, and do we still see signs for optimism in these defensive sectors?

This video originally premiered on August 21, 2024. Watch on our dedicated Final Bar page on StockCharts TV!
