Pete Najarian has his eye on the big money center banks that have huge dividends, which will likely benefit if indeed the Fed cuts. One way to play the dividend stocks is to buy the iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index (DVY), Pete says. But you can also look to Big Pharma – Pete likes Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) – and a consumer staple like Kraft (KFT), which has a lot of activist investors flocking to it.
Guy Adami wants to be in Goldman Sachs (GS) ahead of a rate cut. It will be “wind at their back,” he says.
But with a rate cut would come, almost assuredly, a decline in the U.S. dollar. Constance Hunter says one way to hedge that risk is to own the WisdomTree International Financial (DRF), which is an ETF of international financials. If the Fed cuts and the dollar drops, the DRF could give investors some “extra juice,” she says.
Jeff Macke wouldn’t buy anything related to the financials yet. He thinks a Fed cut has already been priced into the market and the “financial trade is over.” He’s sticking with big-cap tech.
