"Buy on dips" believers have a tacit understanding, and the U.S. stock bulls have rekindled their fighting spirit?

SFL EPOL HYG SCHD IXC XLU MO also pays a good dividend but I am worried about declining tobacco use
IXC AMLP OILK even XOM but there is the issue of their middle eastern assets (not sure what % of total revenue)
Look at what's being held by $XLE, $VDE, $IXC, $XOP
XLE, VDE, IXC, XOP for ETFs
XOP, XLE, IXC, VOLT, URA, NLR (energy)
IXC gonna keep pumping lol Asia running low on oil
Because of this I just invested in IXC which is a global energy ETF. It’s around $55 right now so cheaper to buy. Exxon and chevron are the top two stocks in this ETF
Oil is way up this year. XOM, IXC ETF both up 29 pct.
IXC not too far from its ATH set in May 2008(!)
Yes oil and defense play. IXC PPA etc, not focusing on individual names.
XOM IXC Plus energy related SFL and AMLP
There are still a lot of stocks that are undervalued, you just have to find them. COLD and KIM are solid REITs, WFRD, EPD, IXC are in the energy sector (lots of energy stocks have good value) - don't buy EPD in a tax deferred account as it's a master limited partnership, and the K-1 losses won't benefit you, and that's an important piece of it's value. INDA is an ETF focused on India, it's near a low because of tariffs. They are out there...
I sold some of my IXC energy ETF today at 39.2, maybe 20 pct of my position. Will buy back around 35.2. I bought UHC, as I have been buying the decline in recent weeks.
Not bad, but I like SCHD, URA, IXC, FIW, SPGP....growth but more diversified away from tech
FTEC SCHD IXC GLD you want to to be diversified this is it!!! Throw in a little FBTC
Investment pros love to recommend stocks with great track records, makes them look smart. Start with ETFs, play around with individual shares after a few years in the game. IXC SOCL SKYY XLF XLU VOO REGL
oil stuff. just buy IXC and you will benefit too
Plus a lot of oil and gas. IXC and AMLP saved me last year.
like everyday.... buying energy.... IXC...yes i m boring guy doing ETFs
For example, what about VDE (Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund) or IXC (Global Energy ETF)?
Buybacks were illegal not too long ago. Disclaimer: long IXC.
To quote the much maligned Jim Cramer (seriously!): No one will ever tell you when to sell. I have long term holds like $AMZN and $GOOGL that I don't really plan to sell. A very stupid strategy in a volatile market. Otherwise, I will often sell half of something if I am up a lot. I also have shares that I hold purely for trading and dividends. I trade an oil ETF called IXC, buying and selling at roughly 10 pct movements. So I last sold at around 40, now waiting to sell more at 44, or buy at about 36. I pay more tax on these short term capital gains, but to quote another market adage: no one ever lost money taking a profit. Congrats on the gains and good luck to you!!!!
Oil fund IXC has done very well also. You have to trade it though.
>energy supply down Thats why i buy exxon, chevron, MRO, BP, Shell every single week. And until Biden stops giving away our strategic petro reserves - I will keep on buying every single week - as much as I can possibly afford. I buy dividend paying company shares in my Roth, and i buy the lower dividend Energy ETFs in my taxable account \*(VOE, XLE, IXC ---- every fucking week) I haven't eaten dinner in two weeks - Instead I think how much would I pay for out back steakhouse tonight? $43 - ok - I buy a coke and a bag of trail mix. $6 - Boom $37 to my taxable brokerage - split evenly three ways into those three ETFs If oil crashes - i will lose alot of money and regret those foodless nights. But if Oil increases like i expect it to - I can afford to go to Ruth Chris' to celebrate - a few nights in a row if I want. That taxable brokerage is up 13.2% this month. And 38% on the year - It's not much - but its a helluva lot better than my 401K \*(All VOO and VTI - negative 7% on the year) - when i think the energy bull run is over - I will cash out my oil shares and put that money in VTI / VOO. Maybe it's timing the market - some folks might call me a fool. don't care. It's working and i won't stop. It's my money and i will gamble if it's working.
VOE - an aggressive mix of 200 of the best mid cap value companies in USA. IXC - a wide basket of oil and gas stocks including alot of exposure to US oil giants like exxon and chevron(25% of the portfolio) but also including rest of world gas giants like Shell, BP to diversify since the whole world is going through an oil crisis over the next ten years, but many of us are too stubborn to admit it. VDE - (low expense rate, US Oil-Gas companies.) Yes, i am oil bull.
IXC i just noted. Appreciate that i will certainly do some research into this. Thanks!
Whatever you are planning to put in XLE....Consider putting half in IXC. (IXC = International. I only mention this because gas prices are going to get bad world wide and might be worse overseas than in USA.) It still include 25% exposure to the best us companies like exxon and chevron. But it also covers european giants like shell and BP.....increased exposure, Diversification. I dont like international stocks as a general rule. But i love international oil. Not financial advice. I wish you the best whatever you choose. Good luck.
>down 20% (along with everybody else) but is this the right time to step on the gas If u want to step on the gas...yes. Now is the perfect time to buy VDE IXC and XLE. Yes i am talking oil. And yes the oil bull market is strong and its going to get stronger. Brandon has fucked it up for all of us. So buy oil stocks because gas will be big profits over rhe next 6 plus months
If you are unsure what funds to purchase - go with funds with low fees. you mentioned you had never invested before - but not specifically what your goals are, nor how old you are. This is a factor in my opinion - if you are 25-35 I would lean at least about 50% in small caps and mid caps, but if you are 55-60 you might be better off in a lifecycle fund. Many folks will say VTI and chill - \*(VTI is vanguards all US stock fund. very diversified, it literally owns like every american stock all weighted by their market caps.) If I were in your spot - just starting, I would do this: Tomorrow - Use $6000 in a new IRA $1000 VTI \*(All American Stocks) $1000 VOO \*(SP 500) $1000 VOE \*(Best Mid cap stocks in america) $1000 IWN \*(Best small cap value stocks in america) $1000 IXC (Best 1200 energy companies in the world - energy bull run is coming) $1000 VDE (Best 111 energy companies in america - did i mention the energy bull market is coming?) ​ Then Put you other $4000 in a taxable account and just buy and hold VTI until December 26, sell it on Dec 27 - and put the money into your Roth on Jan 2, by then you will have a better feel - and you can decide how to split up the $4000 plus you should have at that point. Also - around Jan 1 would be a good time to evaluate whether the energy bull run is still rolling or if it's time to take profits and move the money to VTI or some other funds in your account. ​ \*(Note i am not a financial advisor and this is just my best guess of what will be profitable over the next 3 months. I wish you the best whatever you end up deciding to do.)
Correct. As long as the war continues there will be upward pressure on prices. Soon USA/EU plan some sort of price cap on Russian crude. This will take some supply off the market. Long: IXC ( but selling), AMLP, SFL. I have a very small short position in the EUR vs USD.
I'm not. Over two decades ago I was, but I changed. Some of my decisions involve actual intelligence. For example, commodities are cyclical (IXC), monopolies almost always make money (XLU).
Worst: PINS (bought into some stupid merger hype ) Best: IXC oil ETF Good: SOXX, GE, VTR (I bought all of these when they dipped)
Personally, I see this time as opportunity to look into the past and how equities have performed compared to their 2020/2021 levels. My biggest concern right now is how the market will react if the US officially declares a recession. If US declares recession, I’m prepared to average down my positions and ride it out. If not recession, I think the market will react positively. Regardless, I’ve always valued the saying “Time in the market beats timing in the market”. No safe stocks, but I’ve felt more comfortable with weighting myself more in ETFs at this time ($SOXX, $IYG, $IXC, $IDNA, $TECB). Good luck!
I hold MO and KHC. I trade MO, but won't sell KHC unless it goes to 45. Then maybe I'd sell half. Do not buy shares in individual oil producers. The same dividend is available via ETFs which carry much lower risk such as IXC. If you must live dangerously buy AMLP.
I just bought in at $5k a few days ago, growth stocks, numerous stocks on Schwab's ETF/"A" equity list (MSFT, DBO, IXC, BCI) and stocks that were and are still considered undervalued (VDE, STE, SFAM) and I'm already down $70. Can someone please reassure me of what I already knew/know--that the DOW took a hit today, that this definitely could happen and could happen again when I'm buying in a bear market before it recovers--or advise me to bail out and buy back in when the market is obviously starting to actively rebound? I'm planning for the long-term (growth stocks are what I'm most adamant on maintaining: QCOM, MELI, SQ, other Motley recs...) but I'm admittedly scared by short-term losses. I know advisors say you have to be prepared to eat +20% losses in the short term in order to see your assets have high returns long term, and I guess I'm just seeking reassurance that all prices are highly volatile and more commonly decreasing right now and that I should just weather this. Even if we're heading into a potential recession, would it be worth it to sell and buy back in another time? What would you do?
You don't *lose* until you sell though right? I'm in mostly indexes. My portfolio's down 7% from the end of 2021. It sucks that in this environment everything goes down - equities, bonds, and cash. And I hardly own any commodities. IXC (energy) has been good at least.
I’ve owned individual oil stocks—refiners/marketers like Marathon Petroleum, exploration/development companies like ConocoPhillips and EOG Resources, and integrated companies like Chevron. Now I just use ETFs and CEFs for that portion of my portfolio. Currently I own two iShares ETFs, IXC and IGE. The IGE fund is concentrated in North America and also gives me exposure to other natural resources like metals and timber. It’s a good commodities bet.

fucking r/stocks man "I want to develop a diversified, but aggressive retirement portfolio. I appreciate any opinions. IVV 30% VTWO 10% VXUS 21% VWO 8% NLY 1.5% REG 1.5% OIH 1.5% IXC 1.5% VCLT 12.5% XMPT 12.5%" that's what they call aggressive? fuck off with this shit
Yea Im really not a big fan of ETFs like USO that constantly bleed value when they roll contracts, and backwardation rarely happens. That oil glut came pretty close to bankrupting the fund. Rather than investing in futures contracts, a safer way to go is something like $IXC which holds shares from the energy sector. At least then you dont have to worry about your fund going completely bankrupt. Or hell if thats your thing and you want to risk it all just buy a contract of CLX yourself.
IXC and PXI - the whole world is headed deeper into an energy crisis with winter and the cold months coming.
Take a look at IXC, Squeeze potential?

This was my play too. I finally rotated profits out of tech this week into energy: mostly into XLE, OIH, XOP, IXC for international exposure, and SLB since -- real prospects aside -- it will benefit from fund flows into ETF's. Also looking into XES... and googling through Reddit to find more info about this sector.
Yes, but just traded some of my XLE shares for IXC for better diversification.
I am too, except cruise lines, and prefer my airlines via JETS and oil via BP, RDS.B., FILL, IXC, AMLP, etc.
I've owned it for a while as well. It's good, but so is VDE and similar. The challenge now is that not all the energy stocks are as cheap as they were back in Nov. 2020 so you are buying a basket and may not be getting as good of a value on all the stocks as before, which is one reason to purchase individuals. However, if you do not have enough $$ to spread around on the individuals, XLE or VDE or XOP are all good, as is FILL and IXC (which has international exposure). XOP is more volatile than all of them because it is equal weight so you may want to stay clear of that one. Cheers.
