The iShares S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index ETF (XEG) is acknowledged as a top choice for Canadian oil exposure, particularly in a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF). Experts note its potential for outright growth, contrasting it with ENCC which employs a covered call strategy that can stabilize income but limit upside. Many analysts advocate for temporary allocation in XEG while navigating market volatility, suggesting that further sell-offs might present better entry points. There is a general agreement that structural changes in Canadian oil policy are necessary for long-term benefits, yet the current conditions, especially with geopolitical tensions, may keep oil prices elevated in the near term, making energy investments attractive. Overall, the ETF's performance could lead to considerable returns, especially with expectations of a bull market in energy in the coming years.

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
