Q: The only energy exposure I have is through CDZ and VDY. I'd like to have more in order to balance the heavy financial exposure in those two. I could use XEG for that purpose or single companies. I'd like to keep it simple. I don't "need" a dividend, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. I'd be OK with just CNQ, SU, or CVE to keep it very simple. I don't think Hormuz is going to get sorted out anytime soon, so I'd like to capture the current opportunity of high and rising oil prices, but this would be a long term position. As a complement to the two ETFs I have, XEG is probably best, but you might see more opportunity in a single company, so as to increase the weighting in my current ETFs, which seem focused on dividends. Thank you for continued great recommendations. Love the service.
