The Oil Services Vaneck ETF (OIH-N) is currently experiencing favorable momentum due to rising oil prices, which has led to a positive outlook among investors. One expert noted a recent 30% gain since January 12, signaling effective management of the ETF amidst market fluctuations. As a leveraged energy play, the ETF is subject to higher volatility, prompting a strategic decision by this expert to trim their holdings by 25% despite the uptick in oil prices. This cautious approach balances risk and reward, acknowledging that while the market is favorable now, the inherent risks of leveraging make it prudent to consolidate profits at this time. Overall, the sentiment suggests a cautious yet optimistic perspective on the ETF's performance as the energy sector evolves.

PARTIAL SELL

He just trimmed it. It's a leveraged energy play. His cost basis rose to $330. When oil prices spike like today... A leveraged play, but now oil prices are going his way, so it's prudent to trim it by 25%. He has gained 30% since Jan. 12.

TOP PICK

Oil stocks in Canada have been overlooked. There is a bit of a base going on and they are breaking out from that base. Eventually they will break out from the bottom. If you think oil stocks are going up this has been a bit of a laggard. They also own some oil producers including Suncor. It is a longer term holding.

DON'T BUY

Exxon and Chevron make up 40% of this ETF, which saw put volumes at 1.5x its average daily volume with puts outnumbering calls 3-1 this past year. For the last two years, energy has outperformed. In 2023, the price of oil rises while oil stocks fall, which reverses the trend of the past two years.

COMMENT

Exxon and Chevron make up 40% of this ETF, which saw put volumes at 1.5x its average daily volume with puts outnumbering calls 3-1 this past year.

WEAK BUY

If oil can sustain current levels, oil socks should be okay for 2023. In recent months, oil stocks like Exxon have held in there, recently touching new highs.

BUY

Even after the war ends, countries and companies will remain reluctant to buy Russian oil. So, this encourages new and expanded drilling in other parts of the world. SLB is the largest holding in this ETF.

WEAK BUY

She owns some OIH, not much and not much oil exposure overall. Collectively, the oil sector is in better shape these days.

BUY

Crude oil prices hit 2018 highs OIH is 45% YTD. It's a way of hedging your risk, because you're buying a basket of stocks. One stock within OIH can be overvalued, but not the entire OIH.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 15/18, Down 42%) He was looking for US oil. This ETF started under-performing mid-year and he got out. He is not rushing back into energy names except for a few very highly beat up names.

DON'T BUY

This will be tied to the energy commodity market, which is in the steepest price decline ever, he thinks. He would be careful as he does not know if we are at the lows for oil prices. The trend is too well defined to the downside right now. He would be careful trying to pick the bottom.

WEAK BUY

Most Canadians are very exposed to oil. This is an interesting spin because it is the oil service companies and not the producers. You can get broader exposure through others in Canada.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick March 27, 2018, Up 7%) A direct oil play. The oil price has done better than expected, but it's frustrating to get the commodity call right, but the stocks don't rise accordingly.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick, Feb.15, 2018, Up 4%) Oil did a lot better than he expected, but he's disappointed that this ETF hasn't reflected that lift. Energy stocks are still out of favour, because investors are buying FANG stocks instead.

TOP PICK

An oil services ETF. 35% of this is Haliburton and Slumberger. With oil above $60, a lot of money is going back into the ground, more so in the U.S. than Canada. Valuations are low in the mid-20s.

TOP PICK

At $60 plus for oil you get a lot of investment going back into the ground. It is trading at the low end of the historical range. It should get a bigger boost going forward.
