Energy stocks are in an uptrend and could continue to rise for many years. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF is a popular way to gain exposure to the energy sector.

In Part I of my Top Picks For 2024, I explained why we saw such extreme valuation losses in most equity CEFs in 2023 and what that could-mean for 2024. In my opinion, liquidity was the over-riding factor for why so few stocks, think Magnificent 7, received the lion's share of buy-interest while most everything else suffered, including equity CEFs. But just because the Federal Reserve will continue its Quantitative Tapering doesn't mean that other Fed programs won't increase liquidity in other places.
