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
Yeah I just sold my XLE calls for 50% gain, so crude oil probably going to rise 10-15% within 7 days.
Whoever suggested XLE yesterday, thank you I hope you made money too
I bought XLE calls that I guarantee will expire a week before the pump. FML
At some point it's going to register with enough people how bad Bab el-Mandeb being shut down is. You probably want to be out by that point. Or get in on XLE.
My portfolio has way more torque than any standard oil ETF, you don't get much of the leveraged bullshit I own in XLE.
only thing green in port is DRAM, NVDA, SPCE and XLE all totally normal
Moved to cash in 401ks, short USO puts, long XLE, short naked SMH calls
Yeah thinking how to play this. What’s a good pure oil play? Previously I’ve done XLE calls Edit: USO probably
Honestly fuck SPCE I’m going all in on XLE XOM USO BNO Monday. Oil chads we will eat good when the SPRs get drained this summer.
Article states that IEA’s published outlook says July is when things are going to get crazy. You could long oil now but if headlines keep popping up about a deal oil stocks won’t hold up. I’d rather wait till the end of June to go long, that way even if I’m too early oil earnings should be insane. I’ll probably go long on VLO calls since their earnings are earlier than CVX/XOM. Could also do XLE calls idk
Great did buying opportunity. Yesterday I went long XLE/ET/GDX
Stick to XLE and XOP. In oil it doesn’t matter as much who’s pumping it - as the cost of the goods sold goes up, they’re all proportionally making that much more money regardless.
Warning about XLE though its price correlates with oil, so if the strait opens to can expect it to drop.
XLE is a standard etf pick. I added a little today, myself.
I really like NEE. But I also hold XLE and PBW.
XLE at 4-month lows is starting to look pretty attractive.
XLE calls officially dead. No pulse
Not this one. I have a position in XLE for days just like this.
So you are saying full port into XLE at open? 🌝
XLE now back to where I bought. Is the strait open yet?
Legit so early that XLE is somehow still down -1.5%. Hopefully it affects the market by open.
Yet somehow XLE is down -1.5% for the overnights. That shit better be in the $70s by open.
I’m glad I sold my XLE call last week
The ultimate play would be that an actual agreement between the US and Iran will just trigger a massive short covering rally, spiking oil prices and XLE.
Ohhh mah XLE, she not a looking so good
How is XLE and USO gonna respond to this move
This is classic volatility trading based on geopolitical events, but be careful with USO specifically - it uses futures contracts and has roll costs that create tracking error vs. actual oil prices. For short-term war premium plays, energy sector ETFs (XLE) or options on individual producers might give cleaner exposure. The key question: is this a sustained supply disruption or just a headline spike? Historically, oil "war premium" spikes are mean-reverting unless actual production infrastructure is damaged.
Insurance like ALL or PGR (PGR is 15% of my portfolio). Pharma like JNJ or Merck. PFE has a nice dividend. everyone oughta have an energy stock of some sort like CVX, XOM, or just buy the XLE etf. Hold something outside the us like EWZ or EWC. I think this AI event is a wave, like Josh brown said. It’ll end like everything does, but you’ve gotta ride it.
XLE and USO looking very squeezy going into the weekend
There won't be deal but maybe I should sell XLE because it will drop on a fake deal 🤔
Oil chads when do I sell my XLE? It's not a yolo position size
SOXS, IGV, XLE and CIBR calls
XLE and XOP - still severely undervalued. I plan on holding mine for a while (6-24 months) after the straight “re-opens”, the supply shock from lost production capacity and countries refilling reserves will keep oil prices higher for the next 3-5 years easily, and that’s if the straight “opens” soon. I put open in quotation marks because for the foreseeable future, Iran will now control the straight. Oil prices start getting low again… who cares what OPEC thinks, Iran will just close the straight to traffic for a bit to get what they want. Oil has a new floor, and it’s well above the 70$/barrel oil stocks are currently priced at.
MSFT, IGV, XLE calls
VDE, XLE are starting points for exposure. USO if you want to gamble on futures going up.
XLE, MSFT, IGV, FTNT, CRWD calls
XLE goes down in a recession too
I am thinking my XLE and MSFT calls are gonna hold up at open... hopefully my RKLB puts print too
