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.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 9/09, Down 5%) As long as global economy is soft, oil will be soft as well. It will come back but he doesn’t know when.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 5.99%.) S&P/TSX energy. Still likes.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 2.6%.) S&P/TSX Energy ETF. Sold half his position in January at about $19.
DON'T BUY
S&P/TSX energy ETF. Energy sector has lagged in the last little while. Crude prices have gone up quite a bit but stocks have not matched it.
TOP PICK
Thinks oil prices are going to improve and this ETF will improve.

(Top Pick Oct 15/09, Down 6.88%) Got into it a year ago. Took half of his position off in re-balancing. He still recommends it.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 9/09, Down 1.4%) Still thinks the price of oil has a way to go. Could inch up again for the next little while.
COMMENT
Energy – oil and gas. Capital gains for tax purposes.
BUY
A basket of the larger cap Canadian gold companies, which is a good area to look at.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 30/09. Up 42.5%.) Energy seasonality runs from February 25 to May 9 but last year was May 11 giving a return of 30%.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 6.8%.) S&P/TSX Capped Energy. Sold off half his position in the beginning of January for profits. Wouldn't add to it right now.Good long-term hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 9/09. Up 3.36%.) S&P/TSX energy ETF. Still a buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 9/09. Down 2.6%.) Mostly oil but some gas as well. Oil prices continue to show some upward pressures.
TOP PICK
S&P/TSX Energy. Likes energy very much.
TOP PICK
Natural Gas and Oil. Demand is such that it has nowhere to go but up. His bias is always to minimize the risk with as broad a basket as possible, so prefers this over a pure Gas ETF, for example.
