It seems to me from [this chart](https://www.tradingview.com/x/sfbbYnh1/) that: 1. Oil companies (XLE, candle chart) are not a good long-term hold. Only during the first decade of this century did they do better than gold. They never do better than spot US crude itself. 2. You can make a lot more money trading crude (red line), but you can also lose a lot more. 3. Gold (purple line) is the best long-term hold. Am I wrong?
