Energy Sector (XLE) Indeed, the Energy SPDR (Amex: XLE) exchange-traded fund, which has returned more than 26% on an annualized basis over the past five years, has fallen on hard times lately, shedding nearly 16% of its value for the three months that ended on Aug. 8.

Russia ETF Trading Down On Political Concerns And Decline In Commodities

The Russia ETF is dominated (95%) by large caps, defined in this fund as companies over $6 billion market caps, of which over two-thirds are commodity-related (energy, metals, and agriculture).

This is an energy mutual fund. I think energy is undervalued and will continue to rise, especially if the Middle East remains volatile. By buying across the industry I think this is a godo stock to buy.
