🌟🌟🌟 $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ is my tactical bet and insurance on the current skyrocketing oil prices. I have bought it even before the Ukraine war started and held it till now. In just 1 trade I gain exposure to the US oil giants which include $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ and $Chevron(CVX)$ . It helps me to balance my portfolio at a time when the markets are wobbly. I pray for peace in the Middle East as it is ultimately the best solution for everyone.🙏🙏🙏 @CC on ETFs @Tiger_comments
