Strong Follow Through

Posted by bakken

Our recent cycle of successive groundhog days have temporarily ceased with solid upticks over the last 3 trading days.   Oil saw a temporary bottom around $59 a few days ago and has bounced strongly off that mark into the mid sixties.     It has also helped that Exxon-Mobil reported some jaw dropping profits of $14 billion as well as some good news from our bakken plays as listed below:

• Brigham Exploration Company (NasdaqGS:BEXP – News) announced three high flow working interest Bakken discoveries, participation in its first Anadarko Basin horizontal Woodford shale well
• Continental Resources (CLR) stated its third-quarter net income soared to a record of $112.4 million, or $2.65 per share, on revenue of $388.4 million which is up 135% from same quarter last year.   The news sent the stock up over 10% today
• Basic Earth Science Systems, Inc. (Basic Earth) (OTC Bulletin Board: BSIC – News) announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock over the next 18 months.  This is quite unusual for a company of this size and signals that the mgmt of the company feels strongly that the stock is undervalued.

Groundhog day

Posted by bakkenexpert

Every day since the financial crisis essentially feels like groundhog day.   I log into my account in the morning and my oil stocks are a little up or flat.  I log in later in the day and they are down dramatically.   The price action here is nauseating and i’m figuratively and literally sick of it.     There was some hope today with OPEC potentially cutting output but recession fears weighed in on all stocks and we were again saddled with 5% plus losses across the board.    As i have stated in my previous posts the best thing to do is to sink a fixed discretionary chunk into bakken stocks and don’t check your account for 12 months (I don’t have the will power but maybe you do .       Good luck to all of us…we definitely need it….
