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.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 24/06. Down 12.6%.) Cleared at a profit in August. Starting to buy back now. Buy $56 oil (maximum $65) over the next 6 months. $80-$82 is the Sell range.

TOP PICK

Very good support at this level.

PAST TOP PICK

S&P Canadian Energy Index is up 5%. Energy stocks are much more volatile than the market. Hang on to this index.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 13/05. Up 12%.)

TOP PICK

Would be extremely surprised if energy prices pulled back this winter. Broadly bullish on the energy sector.

BUY

ETF's are a great way to play any sector or industry.

BUY

If your outlook is very positive for energy, there's nothing wrong with playing the ETF market. A good way for people who don't have the time or inclination to really look for the companies that are going to do well.

DON'T BUY

It's tough to buy and hold energy stocks because they tend to be a counter weight on the economy. Has pushed the markets up in a year when the markets haven't done very well. Wouldn't put a big weighting on oils today.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 16/05. Up 28%.) Not as enthused on energy right now. If you own and have had profits, take some of the table.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 16/05. Up 10%.) Energy prices have had a huge run. He felt that mid $40's was a fair value for oil, but we are now above that which would give some concern. However, there doesn't seem to be any let up in the price of oil. Demand seems to be growing continually. China is playing a huge role here.

TOP PICK

Oil prices are high at this level, thinks it's kinda gone overboard. It will settle between 40 - 45 which will be profitable for oil companies.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

"I like it"

TOP PICK

The market is starting to come to believe that the earnings from the energy sector are real and that oil prices may have found a new level. Have had huge increases in demand which will continue with China.

BUY

Expects energy to do well for the forseeable future, particularily oil levered names as opposed to natural gas. This offers several advantages, Low cost, diversification and no company specific issues.

WEAK BUY

This is very heavily weighted towards the integrateds and his focus is more on the pure producers. A very conservative way of playing energy.
