The iShares S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index ETF (XEG) has emerged as a prominent choice for investors seeking Canadian oil exposure, particularly in tax-advantaged accounts like RRIFs. Experts highlight that XEG offers straightforward growth potential compared to ENCC, which employs a covered call strategy, providing income but capping upside. Diversification is a critical factor in the recommendations, with advocates suggesting that XEG can serve as a temporary holding while conducting further due diligence on specific energy stocks. Recent performance suggests a bullish outlook for energy, with XEG breaking out to new highs, driven by a favorable backdrop for oil and gas investments, despite potential market volatility due to geopolitical tensions. Many believe that, while the Canadian energy sector faces structural challenges, the long-term outlook for energy prices remains optimistic, potentially rewarding those who invest thoughtfully in XEG.

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).

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 7.6%.) S&P/TSX Energy ETF.

TOP PICK
