COMMENT
Energy ETF.Relatively early cycle play when and if we get an upswing. Stimulus that is being thrown at the market and the economy should eventually help.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 16/08. Down 33% but up 44% if you sold in May as he suggested.) Energy sector is getting lined up for a classic seasonal move. Had first technical sign with gasoline breaking out. Horrible 4Q earnings are coming in the next couple of weeks, so wait until they are finished. Sell at the end of May.
BUY
Energy ETF. This gives you the safety of the index. A good time for taking a long-term point of view.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 16/08 to be Sold May 20/08. Up 40%.) Energy stocks go up from around the end of January through until the end of May.
BUY
Regardless of where the price of oil goes in the short-term, the longer-term demands from the emerging middle class will not go away in Asia, South America or Africa. Gives a wide range of excellent oil companies.
DON'T BUY
A strange ETF. Structure is not satisfactory. Have about 60 stocks with a lot of energy trusts, integrated producers, explorers and service companies. A hodgepodge. When you look inside, some will do better than others. The uptrend was recently violated. Topping out when crude is making new highs.
BUY
This is a good energy index. Invests in a basket of oil and gas companies.
COMMENT
There are several different ways to play the oil industry. In Canada there is the iUnits S7P/TSE Energy E.T.F. (XEG-T) and Claymore Oil Sands E.T.F. (CLO-T). The XEG will be much more gassy and CLO is more oil. There is also the U.S. Oil Fund E.T.F. (USO-A) for crude oil.
TOP PICK
Crude oil is going to come down and has support at the $86 level. Then there will be another run to take us into the summertime. Target of $115 oil in that time.
PAST TOP PICK
Period of seasonal strength from the end of November to the end of May. Average gain is 16.6 percent. Are holding on for a little longer, but also is looking for an exit point.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 17/06. Up 8.1%.) End of November to the end of May is the seasonal strength.
TOP PICK
In a trading range. Buys at around $70 and sells above $80. When it drops below $75, that’s an indication it is getting a bit oversold and he starts to get interested again.
TOP PICK
Energy starts to move higher around the end of November until the end of May. It looks like the seasonal factors might be coming in earlier than expected. Be prepared to enter in the next few weeks. Historically, this would have created a 16.2% return plus dividends.
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.
