This summary was created by AI, based on 9 opinions in the last 12 months.

The iShares S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index ETF (XEG) is viewed as a strong choice for investors seeking exposure to the Canadian oil and gas sector. Experts highlight its potential for outright growth compared to covered call options like ENCC, which may provide more stable income but limit upside potential. The ETF is noted for its diversified exposure and ability to act as a temporary holding while due diligence on specific companies is conducted. With the Canadian oil industry's outlook appearing influenced by geopolitical factors, experts believe that XEG's performance could benefit in the short to medium term despite expected volatility. Furthermore, with the Canadian market outperforming its U.S. counterpart and XEG reaching new highs, it signals the start of a potential bull market in energy, fitting well with the trend of commodities rising historically.

DON'T BUY
Not a balanced portfolio. SU is 20% of portfolio. You are just buying a few stocks.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 4/10. Up 11.44%.) Since energy has come back, he would consider buying this at around this level.
COMMENT
S&P/TSX Energy ETF. This one has the large producers. If you want something that is a little less well known but more volatile with a higher return, he would suggest the BMO Junior Oil Index ETF (ZJO-T)
HOLD
Oil prices went down. Nothing wrong with XEG. It is diversified, but you go down with the sectors. Just wait it out.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 28/11. Down 10.09%.) S&P/TSX Capped Energy ETF. Sold about halfway through April. Chart shows it has now broken through some major supports. Not a good pattern.
TOP PICK
S&P/TSX Capped Energy ETF. Tended to outperform the S&P and the TSX over the last 21 years. Technically there was a strong consolidation period followed by a very positive breakout trend. Good support at $19.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 9/10. Up 12.11%.) S&P/TSX Energy ETF. A core holding. A little careful when he Buys because if the oils have run up, he prefers to keeps oils in the low $80’s.

DON'T BUY
S&P/TSX Energy ETF. A lot of ups and downs in the chart and you can almost look at it from a trading perspective. Chart is showing lower highs. He would prefer individual energy names such as Pacific Rubiales (PRE-T) or Penn West (PWT.UN-T).
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 7.6%.) S&P/TSX Energy ETF.
TOP PICK
S&P/TSX Energy ETF. A call that might be a bit early but energy stocks have been beaten down. These are companies that are profitable at current energy prices and have seen their balance sheets and better cost structures.
