Please don't. The risk in the crowded AI trade is insanely high and the potential rewards are priced in. I would(and am) deploying assets to high yielding companies/ETFs in the oil patch. We're being horribly misled about the situation with regard to the energy situation. I like and currently have positions in XLE, XLEI, PBF, BTE Commodity producers in general are screaming buys imo. The entire complex just corrected and some of the miners are insanely cheap. GBUG is a Sprott actively managed gold mining ETF, SILJ. Wheaton(WPM) and Newmont(NEM) are the 500lbs gorillas in the gold and silver space and while their valuations are nowhere near as appealing, they're well run and rock steady. Regards.
Suggest you wait till you've more working capital. Being under funded will push you into some unpleasant corners. With $4-5k, you could probably put together a nice stack of XLEI and sell covered calls against a covered call fund. lol That's currently under $3k for your initial equity position, it pays out a monster yield(18%), and is in an uptrend...which I believe has legs(XLE = oil). The drawdowns are likely to be very mild for the foreseeable future. Obviously you don't want to be in this thing if it does turn down for an extended period...as you'd just be fed your own capital, but if you believe we're in the 1970's redux...as I do, then it makes sense. Good luck.
At this point, I’d be more comfortable buying XLE or USO calls, than any puts
Bought XLE again, thoughts and prayers please
VDE and XLE are good for exposure
Calls for suppliers that will fill the gap, I’d do a month out. Maybe even 90 days. CVX, XOM, PSX, PBR, etc. I went CVX, PBR and XLE.
Buying more UGA, USO, and XLE at open with this recent dip; nothing has really tangibly changed, and these idiots have no negotiating skills beyond demanding personal bribes via crypto to make it all go away.
Nope. I played options cuz I was bored at home. Did ok, nothing crazy. Didn't buy back into a settled investment set until the localized high of October of '21. Although I appreciate your high opinion of me. And I got a lot of XLE that I've been holding since, so on the whole, I will not complain.
based on how XLE almost dropped 3%, future prices and demand are being repriced as well
I loaded up big today on OXY and XLE weeklies. Great dip.
Oil the only dam thing making me money right now. Up big on PBR, OXY, XLE. My tech/semi shares getting bent over. Don’t see the bleeding stopping until the wars over which could be years.
So you’re saying my XLE should do alright?
One thing on USO as the go-to for US oil exposure: it holds front-month futures and rolls them every month, so when the curve is in contango it pays to roll and lags spot on the way up. In a squeeze the curve usually flips to backwardation, which helps, but the day the panic fades the roll cost comes back. If the thesis is producers benefit from a high price for the rest of the year, the producers themselves or XLE track that more cleanly than USO. Are you playing the spike or the level?
The fear is warranted but the hysteria is mostly the Dems trying to tank the market before the midterm! .. I'm gong to pick up some XLE puts for December in the mid 60s to ride it down for the spectacular crash
USO and BNO for oil itself CVX, XLE, XOM for oil companies
USO, XLE, or MCL futures for brokies. CL futures for the big boys
I'm short XLE but i'm positive oil companies are now overvalued just need to let my deeply red position roll
The only sell darkpool on Friday was on XLE. A 211 million sweep.
I actually think you’re onto something here - with US midterm elections coming I think we’ll see another “peace deal” and round of short term market manipulation. Not quite the same but I went with XLE puts - range of strikes and DTE - I don’t have the stomach for leveraged but I think the fundamental thesis tracks…
XLE has formed a pattern every day last two weeks (minus one day) and it’s been printing money for me. Still too pussy to go all in though so I’ll take the daily +$500-$800ish tho
Years of above goal inflation, people continuing to reach for investment risk and real assets (energy ETF XLE beating the tech XLK etf YTD) rather than sitting in cash. Every day this sub endlessly lists all the negatives in the global economy/politics, but for some reason concerns over the risks never seem to result in concerns over the currency. Things like talk about $5,000 dividends to everyone (yes, I know it's not going to happen) and a hundred other things that this sub has I'm sure noted many times and people on here have been asking "should I sell and go to cash!?!?" for years now.
because it happened yesterday, priced in though the US response for Saudis call for help is bullish, maybe good time to add to exposure? i have bull spreads so will just buy back short leg to increase my exposure although i'm bearish XLE, this situation can't last for long or if it does it will bring back oil consumption - high oil prices are truly transitory
You’ll find this funny, but I didn’t even know about USO until right after the invasion. By then I assumed itwas a sell the news moment so I didn’t bother buying. I was however sitting on some nice XLE options gains which I bought right after Venezuela. I knew something seemed odd but after getting burned on gold and silver I was not as keen buying more commodities. I figured the underlying oil companies would work instead.
really hoping XLE follows.
Total North America Oil production \~32 million barrels per day (bpd). Total consumption \~ 25 million bpd All Hormuz global Oil price crash very badly soon. War is not going everyday. It’s tit for tat. On top now Venezuela production bump. $QQQ $NVDA $SMH $MU $TLT $XLE $SPY all impacted today, its opportunity https://preview.redd.it/asq1kgq5mqoh1.png?width=740&format=png&auto=webp&s=81572eb3dcd7575eafc9edd2d8ec70a512a8aa2b
Yeah why does XLE stink so much?
Oil up 6%. XLE down slightly on the day
Just buy oil… how are you people this blind to the most obvious swing trade that’s been free cash for months now? CVX, XLE… MPC IVR is high now but it was a cash printer for like 3 months.
yeah i can't decide between USO or XLE here for the short term.
Not me being a paper hand selling XLE
Think I’ve found a new strat. XLE pops almost every morning for the last week. Wait about 30mins - 1 hour after open, buy puts basically OTM and wait a bit. Been making 20-30% every morning this past week. Works until it doesn’t.
Been buying $50 a week of XLE for years
At this point I've got mixed feelings about refiners. They've run up big this year (the CRAK etf is up 70% ytd vs 42% for XLE) with some big names up way more than that (VLO 130%, MPC 140%, PSX 98%). I think they likely still have more upside ahead as the global energy crisis right now is being expressed in absolutely mind-blowing crack spreads (the profit to be made from refining oil) and record/near record high refined product prices. But I don't expect this situation to last forever, there are signs China is entering back into the refining space in a big way, which will drive refined product prices lower and crude higher as they consume the latter to produce the former. So all that's to say, there's likely still upside potential but the downside risks are growing. I'm personally still holding PSX and VLO as well as CRAK, but I took some profits today.
MCD, short XLE, short ORCL
Oil up and diesel apparently close to an all time high, but for some reason oil related stocks and ETFs like XLE headed down all day. Very odd.
Yes. I’ve been long a bunch of XLE calls and own MLPI. With the possibility of rate hikes, I’m not sure if that slows the gold/silver trade so exited recently. I only use floating rate bonds to eliminate rate hike risk. I also shifted my equities to dividend/value so that there’s less impact from inflation/interest rates. And I diversified significantly, picking up obscure non-correlated ETFs like FOXY and IALT. I don’t think this is noise. I think this market is on a dark staircase and each time we take a step down everyone breathes a sigh of relief because surely that was the bottom…
XLE making new highs everyday. lol.
Ruh roh, Ya know things aren’t goin too well when VOO and XLE are at the top of the sentiment board.

XLE really was just waiting for regards to sell to rip higher. Just part of the ever encompassing manipulation in this fraudulent market.
Is XLE still worth buying or has it now caught up to earnings?
I sold XLE at a profit because I got tired of thinking about it, unfortunately. But at least I didn't paper hands after the """memorandum""
XLE Leaps bought in February. Already up +250%
Just buy both. My NTR n XLE n shit been doin pretty good.
Putting a lot of money in XLE rn
Mostly XLE but some VST cause it’s undervalued
Which one? XLE or a different etf?
XLE and DBA all green. The future is the inflation trade. The real on the ground bottlenecks.
Sorry if this was already mentioned, but did yall see those extremely high blips right after close? URA, XLE, XLI, PAVE, VHT are some of the efts where I saw them. What is that about? Did someone buy some really over priced shares? Manipulation?
Gold, XLE, idk something like that
forget about SPY calls. XLE calls is da wae
Waiting for a pullback on energy so I can load XLE calls. Also, gold calls. Shits breaking out with what's going on with bonds
Dang I shouldn't have given up on gold and XLE
CRAK and BWET ripping but my XLE is hardly moving. Complete fraud market.
That’s so funny because I bought October XLE calls, my favorite way to be a bear, and I’m up a lot right now, this week is looking hella good. Oil is literally the only way to make money if you like being a bear in this economy.
XLE is boring, but works.
I feel that, I had a call on XLE last week at 59.5 with a 8/21 expiration. I sold it for a small gain then obviously it's valued way higher now. Every time I sell it moves how I want, and when I buy it moves against me. Part of me wishes I had the capital to sell options instead https://preview.redd.it/jmpakozbwcjh1.jpeg?width=1264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df10b75cd4c461aa3289da1f21ee17bf140427c0
Keep an eye on XLE guys.. it looks angry. Just sayin
I’m about to punt XLE calls again and lose my ass..
XLE GLD blessed me, indici’s choppy LETS GOO
I’m all out of ideas in the near future. Jpm, Eaton, and copx have been my big winners with BR and intuit. ITA, SMH, and XLE are where I just put a bunch of money this week
alhamdullilah my XLE puts will print <3
I'm disappointed in myself for not buying XLE calls. But I had to spend my last cash on NBIS. Might sell some CRWD to buy the oil calls in this weird thing people do called ""taking profits""
@Mods to add to the Stocks Everyone should be paying attention to now due to this development; $USO $XLE and $WTI will be good ones to try and get in on the coming oil price moves
Speak for yourself I bought $USO, $XLE, and a ton of options for $WTI back in April and made sure to Dollar Cost Average all the way down through May-July because if there is 1 thing you can **BANK ON** its a Donald J Trump Business Deal ***Failure***
I don't buy calls or puts, but I do trade shares in individual tickers and XLE. It's possible to make a few percent here and there, just have to know how to catch the news right.
shorted XLE @ $60 yesterday before close
Every time I try to do options, I fuck this up and pay for it. When I swing trade, or position trade, I do ok (just slower). Today I was able to exit a lot of my $XLE because I hold actual shares, not calls. I hope I learn this lesson for good soon.
Fwiw calls on XLE were bought 3:1 over puts. Oil is a tricky bitch though. You really need to understand how OPEC works, and this war throws a wrench on top of that. Prices are not as fixed to supply and demand as it may seem. It's beyond my pay grade. All I know is alot of people lose alot of money trying to trade the shit lol. But, the call buying activity is a bullish signal
I just sold my XLE call for a solid 50% this morning, then watched it climb to about 200, if this stuff keeps going Im gonna reget my decision lol
I think Trump just gave the queue to short XLE. Going to do so and will report back
Not sure puts will always be the answer. I had to sell my $XLE (oil) shares today because oil dropped, so the stocks opposite oil will sometimes rise (hence calls vice puts), but it is 100% in Iran's best interest to screw with the system as much as they can heading into this election. You are right there.
Put that shit directly in my spy calls' veins. And then bomb the shit out of them for my XLE puts. Rinse and repeat.
These 60c XLE FOR 1/15/27 wasn’t a stupid idea after….
Only position I held over the weekend is XLE…closed my calls. ELECT A CLOWN EXPECT A CIRCUS 🤡 🤡🤡
Kinda glad I went long on XLE right now, why does OIL have a big dick now
no one thinks of XLE that is beta shit
USO so expensive just go for XLE
What are you talking about? SPX is within 3% of its ATHs and XLV, XLF, XLE, XLRE all hit ATHs on July 28. It’s just tech that is dropping. Almost every other sector is doing well.
XLV, XLE. This is not hard to look up.
