Large XLE puts means we're getting a new peace deal over the weekend
Been watching Brent alongside XLE and a couple of individual energy names on moomoo. Crude moved hard this week but energy equities haven't followed proportionally. There's usually a lag of a session or two. But if that gap keeps widening instead of closing, it probably means the market doesn't fully believe this move translates into sustained earnings improvement. Worth watching closely.
Was a great opportunity to pick up XLE calls
whats the current fav theme? XLE?

I'm using gold where I used to use bonds. I've done a zillion correlation analyses. Gold is very interesting because it is not correlated with anything else, except other precious metals like silver. So 5% to 15% gold is a decent portfolio diversification. Gold has recently come down in price, to about $4,000/oz, which is a decent entry point. The people following gold, doing technical analysis charts, think it's possible that gold could go down to mid $3,000s as the very bottom, but in the upcoming years should do nicely. Gold's historical returns for the past 30 years are about equal to the S&P500. I use the IAU ETF which tracks with gold, minus a 0.25 expense ratio. As a hedge against AI, I'm using the software sector IGV ETF. This sector is oppositely correlated with the AI trade. It's been hammered down a lot, but the companies are actually doing just fine and look very attractive. Energy sector (oil & gas), e.g. XLE ETF is good to have with these oil prices. And the refining prices too, which most are not hearing about, but the "crack spread" (difference in price between refined product & crude oil) are at all time highs. This is a cyclical industry, I wouldn't hold it forever. Maybe for a year? I'll have to play it by ear.
Holding XLE call options at 53 strike and 8/17 expiration through what I assume will be the continued oil bounce.
XLE up 3% in a day is pretty crazy. Should have grabbed calls when the strait closed officially for the tenth time.
I've been holding 10 XLE 75 Aug calls since May... how cooked am I
The only thing up right now on my screen is \*checks notes\* XLE.
Watch out guys, stegosaurus pattern on the XLE
omg I actually timed entering and exiting XLE right for once and made like $5 🥹
XLE 4h chart looks incredible really
I’ve got 7/17 XLE $62C coming back from the dead. Was down $6k for a while.. But the rest of my portfolio is on fire. I keep pressing the power On/Off but nothings working.
i have calls on XLE does this mean i win? please explain in a monosyllable answer that does not have the letters "n" or "o", thank you
When everything else is down, XLE is up. And vice versa.
GUT has 9% yield, XLE has a 2.68 yield. Switching form GUT to XLE is very bad for an 80 year old that needs income. Yes XLE has growth but that will not do any good for an 80 year old.
I played the SQQQ game a while back and lost a bunch of money. Being long instead of short always wins over a longer timeframe. DRAM (memory stocks) and SMH (semiconductors) are the hotness, so just buying a little each week has a higher chance of paying off. Then for hedges, XLU is utilities, boring boomer stuff but it often has green days when the market is red. There's also XLP and XLE. Another good hedge is non-US ETFs like VEA, which is a big basket of European and Asian stocks Just something to think about
He didn't buy oil, he bought the energy sector ETF XLE. it went from $20/share roughly in early 2020 (when oil went negative) to about $55 today. It does also pay a dividend of about 3%. The other position he mentioned, VGENX is up maybe 10% since 2020 and also yields around 3%
I bought so much XLE and VGENX that day I literally had like 6k left to my name. I'm never actually paying for gas again from that day... Except now I can't sell because the dividends are too tasty and actually pay for everything 😂
USO? XLE? I've watched all my pre war names spike up and fall back down lol. I've decided to keep holding, but I haven't added to any yet.
I wish I had 10m so I could buy the XLE dip forever and ever
Its A bRoaDmaRkeT CrAsH! /s XLC is up XLP is up XLF is up XLE is up XLV is up XLRE is up
XLE is green, I recommend buying profitable companies
Personally I wouldn't have 8% in XLE but that's just me, it's not ridiculously overweight or anything. I mean that is an extremely conservative portolio except for XLE, but if you project that it will give you the cashflow you need, then there's nothing wrong with it.
I will definitely keep the XLE i bought as a hedge. Though it's now down 5% from when i bought. I don't trust this at all.
I’m holding my XLE calls… tempted to sell, but it’s made of good companies. Maybe will sell and still buy shares of the companies
XLE, XLP, short EURUSD, long/short strategies, short the market with long DTE options while long with shorter DTE, etc
Defensive stocks still fall, but may not fall as hard. SCHD is a broad fund that has a greater concentration of defensive sectors than most. XLU, XLV, XLP, XLE. Some of those are still above their 1yr SMAs….you can let the exuberance catch first, as people rotate out of them when they get cocky. Gold, I would not pick now. Corporate bonds suck. Long-term gov’t bonds suck. SGOV is the ultimate hedge, as it does not correlate, but it may not beat inflation. CTA does managed futures in commodities. Time in the market beats timing the market. I’m holding onto my Qs.
I have some XLE calls, thinking of selling at open and replacing with more DRAM haha
The only real play here: short the XLE
If $80 WTI is the new floor, long XLE after the initial sell off could pay nicely Q4'26 Q1'27 Hope it dives hard to load cheap
I see what you’re saying. I guess for me personally it wouldn’t be worth it. I’d sooner write 1-month CSP’s for 1% on stuff like XLE, XLF, XLU, XLK. If assigned then write the CC’s and wheel it. I think anybody who writes CSP’s has to be prepared to wheel if we get a tail event. Strategy would likely yield 12% annual pretty consistently
It's why I buy a small stake in XLE every Friday.
Sure, there are a million thematic ETFs that won’t or mostly won’t include AI or tech stocks. XLI is all industrials. ITA is all defense/aerospace stocks. XLE is all energy stocks. XLU is all utilities. VCR is all consumer discretionary. You could also pick countries that don’t have any AI companies. ARGT is all Argentine stocks. EWA is all Australian stocks. EPOL is all polish stocks. For something that \*mostly\* avoids AI stocks, you could buy a dividend ETF like SCHD or VIG. These are all just examples. If you want to avoid AI exposure, there are a lot of ways to do it with low expense ratio ETFs.
I’m buying XLE calls on dips They’re good companies producing a lot of FCF and I’m not concerned about their capex not having returns People the world over still want the black gold
QQQ and SPY both green at 12:14 but XLE red at the same time?
XLE is like 2% higher today than the start of the war. How does that make any sense?
no, they classify stocks into sectors, literally. It is not made up, and this is where they fall: CEG = Utility - IPP subsector NEE = Utility (and biggest component of XLU, not XLE) BEP = Utility - renewables GEV = Industrial - Special Industrial This is how they are classified by themselves. As i said, Energy is all oil and gas.
I trade XLE on the Iran situation. Mostly XOM and CVX, but it does even it out a bit. I usually buy on Friday or just as soon as I hear movement, and I sell when the bastard announces yet another peace deal close. I usually make a percent or two on the gain, but I'm learning to play the system they've built.
what does Kharg Island have to do with Intel and Micron? (nothing) If you’re betting on the war escalating, calls on XLE would be the better play, but I’m done betting on the war, it’s too unpredictable, can completely turn around based on a Truth Social post
I just cut my losses with XLE. Semis is the way to go
SPY puts, XLB puts, XLE calls. Going full retard for the time being.
You can still get in on XLE at a pretty good number since oil traders have been so spooked of “peace is coming in two weeks” tweets.
My other stuff is down more than my XLE is up, by percent even. Big time demand destruction coming for you
XLE dumping hard, shorts sweep covering on SPY... Someone got tipped ?
I keep hearing oil shock but XLE keeps going down.
Just buy **$XLE** and stop trying to stock-pick a volatile warzone. Alternatively, $SQQQ if you think high oil is going to completely crush the rest of the market.
Suncor (SU) they own the majority of Canadian refineries. XLE has most of the big US oil companies and if you want to gamble 2x oil leverage UCO. USO is too expensive form my liking.
My highest conviction right now are foreign producers due to their low multiples and room to run: PBR, CNQ, CVE, STHRF, JRNGF, and SU. Other than that, refiners are a good bet since they've been making absolute bank from record high crack spreads (VLO) and oilfield servicers since they're in high demand (HAL). But in all honesty, if you close your eyes and pick at random it would be hard to find bad companies in the space. The XLE and XOP etfs are solid choices as well, especially XLE
That XLE sell off tho.. brootal Oil bols AWOL
I wrote a piece about $GUT. It's good, but $XLE is better.
I'll be honest, I've been in and out of XLE for the last several weeks. Making a few % here and there. It's not much, but it's honest work. I don't have the guts to try the major companies right now with the news cycle, but XLE has worked pretty well. I buy on Friday, someone over yonder shoots a missile, and then I sell on Monday or Tuesday.
Any oil major is probably a winner in that situation, at least in the short term. XLE's probably a good play. I personally have seen evidence that the oil futures market has traded headlines and tweets while there is a disconnect in the physical oil market that is reaching a breaking point. Hopeful tweets do not pump and transport more oil from the Earth in the short to medium term.
Been trying to piece it together all morning. There was a huge spike in XLE that was a major divergence from the paper oil charts, but it's starting to come back in. The 10-year is continuing to go up, so it's further backing that the bond market no longer just cares about the current price of oil. That's the spookiest thing right now as far as I see.
You better wake the fuck up XLE and stop moving like a sped. I’ve got a position to exit
XLE is up 1% over this weekend events. I love how the cease fire has been on since April and yet everyone keeps bombing and shooting at each other. Always buy a few shares of XLE before Friday close.
Oil Algo jokers jump on every rocket & missile to make volatility, it’s not old Oil market anymore. Index has only 2% energy stocks. USA consume~20 million barrels of Oil per day. USA produces ~ 13.5 million barrels per day Canada produce ~6 million bpd Venezuela~1 million bpd,peak capacity ~3 million bpd How much US- GDP impact by Iran &Ukraine war? OPEC bump again $XLE $SPY $QQQ $XLC $XLK $XLF $XLU $SMH
XLE is speculative, it's not a hedge
I bought XLE 7/17 65C (65x) a while back as an insurance policy and greedily held them twice. I promise I’ll sell tomorrow. Just gimme this one. I’ll roll it into more memory and NBIS.

Buying XLE when oil was negative, during COVID, then selling it when oil hit $100/barrel.
I got a few XLE calls for august I'm diamondhanding but nothing too big
Yep exactly. Every time my XLE calls hit positive it dumps. Not the only lng I own but sadge… when coke and pep pop I think it means they’re preparing to feed the poors.. and make the rest of us poor.
Yep. XLE, LIT, URNM have all been on a rip. Bought during meme stock days. Wish I’d have put everything into those three.
XLE calls? USO calls? Money can be made in any environment.
> Market is forward looking, so any deal that gets boats through might drop the price before production and transport works out. The main problem is less that it's forward looking and more that you can't actually gamble on the spot price for oil. The closest to physical oil you can get is futures which by definition are contracts for future delivery. And then you have OP's suggestions of XLE and XOP which are just ETFs for the oil sector, which isn't a great proxy for capturing short term oil spikes. I'm sure stuff like Exxon will go up if oil prices spike, assuming the overall market isn't in a downtrend at the time, but not nearly to the extent that the oil price itself will.
10%+ on CRM, +2% on SPY and +2% on XLE by Friday
MRVL and XLE calls are all I need in this market
Damnit I should’ve sold my XLE calls, missed my target price by a couple dollars and now I’ve lost half my gains
look at what's in XLE, XLI, and XLB
I don’t have to read the news about trump’s war anymore. Just open my portfolio, if XLE, LMT, WMT are all near the top, together, the latest fake cease fire has fallen apart
Bc the market is waiting for me to get impatient and sell my oil stocks. I already closed the XLE calls, so huge move coming soon.
Refineries running at 95% utilization, Cushing functionally at multi decade lows, 7th straight week of crude draws. If you’re not in XOP, XLE or an American or Canadian large/mid caps you’re missing by free money.
XLE and XLU both seem like they are turning. Bought the leveraged etf for both today
