The markets continue their choppy but upward ascent over the last 10 days and our Bakken Fund has followed suit as well. American Oil & Gas (AEZ: 0.00 N/A) continues to outperform with a 40% gain and GeoResources Inc (GEOI: 33.48 -2.36%) and Kodiak Oil & Gas (KOG: 7.93 -2.10%) are also close behind. All of our Bakken plays are still in the black and have held up well as oil has traded up and down days over the last 2 weeks. The Bakken Fund is still outperforming the Nasdaq, Dow and Russell 2000 indexes and we expect that to continue unless oil totally diverges from the overall market. The fund now stands at a 16.9% gain and we are continuing to hold most positions as we have not seen technical weakness in the constituents.

Despite some pressure on oil today, The Bakken Fund continues to roll and outperform the Dow, Nasdaq and pretty much every standard index on the market. We resisted our urge to trade out of some plays last week during some down days, and that proved to be a wise decision. American Oil & Gas (AEZ: 0.00 N/A) has really taken off after some positive news earlier this week and is currently holding gains over 30%. Brigham Exploration (BEXP: 0.00 N/A) and GeoResources Inc (GEOI: 33.48 -2.36%) also continue to excel with 20% gains. We are a bit cautious in the short term and will look for signals to book gains and reenter at better entry points on some of our positions.
