Big runup, and then a sideways consolidation. Easy money's been made in energy. Oil likely to move lower and be in a sideways, choppy trading range. For the bulk of this year, and into 2024, energy stocks will go sideways and be relative underperformers. For example, if market's up 10%, energy might be up 8-9%. So they'll be broadly in line with market, but will underperform. They're late-cycle plays, and all his works shows that we're starting a new cycle.
It's such a broad sector, from energy to oil-related to materials to gold or uranium.
The most popular one related to the energy index is probably XEG. Exposure to most of the larger Canadian energy producers like CNQ, SU, etc.
What's catching his eye more right now is CGL, the gold bullion ETF. Recently broken out. He can see a scenario where gold moves higher to $2600 or even $3000 over the next year and a bit. Avoids the issues that come with mining in certain jurisdictions. Good way to play exposure to gold and to the commodity market in general.
The go-to energy ETF. He's bullish energy, particularly Canadian. Is market-cap weighted, so you get more exposure to big names like Suncor and less to smaller names.
