The two biggest holdings are ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) which each represent over 20% of the fund.Įxxon remains rather cheap on a historical basis, and is paying a 5-6% dividend yield while it is held.Įnergy demand remains rather strong around the world, but there is not much investment in new exploration, which sets up a somewhat tight energy market with a lot of free cash flow for the producers.

While a top in this sector has not yet been confirmed with a momentum shift, Zac is looking for a potential topping pattern around this level: Nvidia (NVDA) is the distant third place in the group. The S&P 500 technology sector ETF (XLK) is very concentrated into Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT), with each one of them holding more than a 20% weighting.
