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 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.

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.
