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.
