Why Is The Electric utilities Stocks Tanking Today?

This is a copy of my fake stock portfolio. As you see, I keep track of many electric utilities. We had a shockingly good jobs report today. The implication are Yellen/ Feds are going to increase interest rates. The utilities are sensitive to interest rates. That is why the electric utilities stocks are tanking.

Has the low interest rates been cloking the fundamental heath of this sector?

How low will the stock prices go when we get to the highest interest rates...
