The good news is that consumers are still throwing money around while employment spikes and there are promising sectors with ETFs to buy. This spending will continue to grease the wheels of the economy and propel stocks higher in an historically bullish period of the year. But those pesky shortages will throw speed bumps into the path of almost every sector and many stocks. If you have a hard time choosing which stocks will offer a bumpy ride, then a solution is to buy good, old-fashioned ETFs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Discover What&#039;s Inside<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/4-etfs-to-buy\/#Tech\" >Tech<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/4-etfs-to-buy\/#Invesco_QQQ_Trust_Series_1_QQQ-Q_vs_SPDR_Technology_ETF_XLK-N\" >Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (QQQ-Q) vs. SPDR Technology ETF (XLK-N)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/4-etfs-to-buy\/#Airlines\" >Airlines<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/4-etfs-to-buy\/#Energy\" >Energy<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tech\"><\/span>Tech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-251488\" src=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/QQQ-Q-VS-XLK-N-1-760x254.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Invesco_QQQ_Trust_Series_1_QQQ-Q_vs_SPDR_Technology_ETF_XLK-N\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/5798\/QQQ-Q\">Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (QQQ-Q)<\/a> vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/2521\/XLK-N\">SPDR Technology ETF (XLK-N)<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/5798\/QQQ-Q\">Invesco QQQ Trust<\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/data.wealthica.com\/api\/securities\/QQQ-Q\/chart?labels=tru\" width=\"125\" align=\"right\" \/> holds <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/4\/AAPL-Q\">Apple<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/820\/MSFT-Q\">Microsoft<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/67\/AMZN-Q\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/4277\/FB-Q\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/4017\/TSLA-Q\">Tesla<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/1833\/GOOG-Q\">Alphabet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/894\/NVDA-Q\">Nvidia<\/a> as its top holdings in that order, including various classes of FB and Alphabet. These megacaps make up more than half of QQQ&#8217;s holdings. QQQ trades at a 4.53x PE, pays a low 0.49% dividend though charges a cheap 0.2% MER.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/2521\/XLK-N\">XLK<\/a>.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/data.wealthica.com\/api\/securities\/XLK-N\/chart?labels=tru\" width=\"125\" align=\"right\" \/> The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund also counts Apple and Microsoft as its two biggest holdings, followed by Nvidia. These three stocks account for nearly 46% of this ETF. However, the payment names, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/3189\/V-N\">Visa<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/5131\/PYPL-Q\">PayPal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/2600\/MA-N\">Mastercard<\/a>, contribute another 9%. Visa and Mastercard enjoyed a strong 2020, but have lagged <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/117\/AXP-N\">American Express<\/a> this year. That said, international travel should pick up next year and the credit card companies should enjoy a windfall. XLK stock trades at 2.94x, pays a 0.73% divvy and comes with a 0.12% MER.<\/p>\n<p>XLK stock has climbed 19.5% in the first 10 months of 2021, while QQQ has rallied 17.81%. Going forward, I&#8217;m giving the edge to XLK between the two ETFs to buy for its wider diversity of holdings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-76050\" src=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/airlines-1-760x475.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airlines\"><\/span>Airlines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of travel, JETS stock, the <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/5198\/JETS-N\">U.S. Global Jets<\/a> ETF, is the only one among ETFs to buy to hold purely airlines. Truth be told, I&#8217;m wary of airline stocks\u2014they can fly south unexpectedly for any number of reasons, such as accidents and fuel costs. However, it&#8217;s a no-brainer to expect airline stocks to continue to climb as we recover from Covid and return to international travel, though business travel\u2014which boasts wider profit margins\u2014will take longer to return. JETS holds mostly U.S. airlines, starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/4769\/AAL-Q\">American<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/748\/LUV-N\">Southwest<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/1577\/DAL-N\">Delta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/6174\/UAL-Q\">United<\/a>, which make up nearly 40% of this ETF. You have to go down to the tenth holding, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/2802\/AC-T\">Air Canada<\/a>, to find geographic diversity. A caveat is that JETS stock doesn&#8217;t pay a dividend and it charges a 0.6% MER, which is a tad high. However, this is justified if its performance continues. JETS has outrun the Nasdaq through the first 10 months of this year at nearly 22% vs. 19.9%, and vs. American Airlines at -0.7%. However, 2021 has been a turbulent ride for JETS. So far this year, JETS has bounced between $16.57 and $28.98. On October 29, it sat right in the middle at $22.22. Make sure to strap on your seatbelt before take-off.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-197052\" src=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Energy-1-760x475.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Energy\"><\/span>Energy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The hated oil stocks will continue to climb as surging demand, falling temperatures and a lack of supply will drive them higher, at least in November and likely beyond. Buy <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/1176\/SU-T\">Suncor<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/337\/CVX-N\">Chevron<\/a>? Buy for dividends? Look for buybacks? Choose a midstreamer? So many choices. The go-to oil ETFs to buy for Canadian investors remains <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/1373\/XEG-T\">XEG<\/a>, the iShares S&amp;P\/TSX Capped Energy Index ETF. It trades at a 23.41x PE, pays a 1.6% dividend yield and holds Suncor, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/286\/CNQ-T\">CNQ<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/3644\/CVE-T\">Cenovus<\/a> as its top holdings which account for 62% of this ETF. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/3927\/TOU-T\">Tourmaline<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/629\/IMO-T\">Imperial<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/4187\/WCP-T\">Whitecap<\/a> are lower on the list.<\/p>\n<p>Explorers and producers make up 55% of XEG stock while the integrateds comprise the rest. Performance is reasonable when you consider XEG stock has climbed nearly 50% for the first 10 months of the year compared to Whitecap&#8217;s 53%, though <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/1571\/CPG-T\">Crescent Point<\/a> has outrun them both at 110%. You can DRIP XEG stock if you hold it long enough or use this ETF as a short-term play: get in and get out and make a few bucks. (Long-term, oil offers diminishing returns.) However, if you want to own substantially more in oil, perhaps choose one of XEG&#8217;s bigger holdings. Or, if you despise oil for what it does to the environment (reasonable enough), avoid it altogether.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming off October&#8217;s rally, November markets will face ongoing supply shortages, inflation woes and interest rate worries.
