Are utility funds too hot to handle?

Timothy Middleton at MSN Money, takes a hard look at investing in the hot utilities sector. He cites a "dearth of no-load options" where load funds "account for 20 of the 31 in the group, 14 of the 20 most widely held and all but one of the nine funds with four- or five-star ratings from Morningstar." As alternatives to no-load funds, Middleton points to two exchange-traded index funds, Utilities SPDR (XLU) and iShares Dow Jones U.S. Utilities (IDU), but cautions against any investment in the sector now.
