| BUY | 20.330 | Gavin Graham | 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. | 2008-09-17 | |
| | |
| DON'T BUY | 108.250 | Bill Carrigan | 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. | 2008-07-03 | |
| | |
| BUY | 108.060 | Richard Croft | This is a good energy index. Invests in a basket of oil and gas companies. | 2008-07-02 | |
| | |
| Comment | 100.020 | Som Seif | 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. | 2008-05-02 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 83.690 | Don Vialoux | 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. | 2008-01-16 | |
| | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 87.590 | Don Vialoux | 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. | 2007-05-05 | |
| | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 85.560 | Don Vialoux | (A Top Pick Oct 17/06. Up 8.1%.) End of November to the end of May is the seasonal strength. | 2007-04-25 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 76.450 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | 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. | 2006-11-02 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 79.150 | Don Vialoux | 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. | 2006-10-17 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 74.030 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | (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. | 2006-10-11 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 84.680 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | Very good support at this level. | 2006-07-24 | |
| | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 88.440 | Ross Healy | S&P Canadian Energy Index is up 5%. Energy stocks are much more volatile than the market. Hang on to this index. | 2006-03-16 | |
| | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 93.080 | Ross Healy | (A Top Pick Dec 13/05. Up 12%.) | 2006-02-06 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 83.200 | Ross Healy | Would be extremely surprised if energy prices pulled back this winter. Broadly bullish on the energy sector. | 2005-12-13 | |
| | |
| BUY | 74.800 | John Stephenson | ETF's are a great way to play any sector or industry. | 2005-11-07 | |
| | |
| BUY | 76.010 | Michael Sprung | 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. | 2005-10-11 | |
| | |
| DON'T BUY | 74.160 | Richard Croft | 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. | 2005-08-03 | |
| | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 74.160 | Richard Croft | (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. | 2005-08-03 | |
| | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 64.400 | Richard Croft | (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. | 2005-06-13 | |
| | |
|
| TOP PICK | 61.180 | Richard Croft | 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. | 2005-03-07 | |
| | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 61.180 | Richard Croft | "I like it" | 2005-03-07 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 58.000 | Richard Croft | 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. | 2005-02-16 | |
| | |
| BUY | 56.740 | John Stephenson | 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. | 2005-02-15 | |
| | |
| WEAK BUY | 52.570 | Peter Brieger | This is very heavily weighted towards the integrateds and his focus is more on the pure producers. A very conservative way of playing energy. | 2005-01-27 | |
| | |
| BUY | 52.570 | Matt Baillie | Still positive on the energy sector. China is groing at 10% and the US is growing at 4% which is impressive. | 2005-01-27 | |
| | |
| DON'T BUY | 42.500 | Don Vialoux | Historically, the best time to buy energy stocks is from the end of January to the end of May. At the end of the cycle now. | 2004-05-14 | |
| | |
| WAIT | 37.060 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | Would wait until the new year until things leveled out. The energy market and energy prices are quite high. This gives a broad exposure to the energy market. | 2003-12-11 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 28.800 | Peter Brieger | Good broad base participation. | 2002-02-15 | |
| | |
| TOP PICK | 27.850 | Peter Brieger | A good exposure mix in the energy sector. A conservative move. | 2001-11-14 | |
