VTGDF
The most interesting stock on your list. I looked more into the charts and it appears the stock is being day hedged when trading at high volume. What's interesting about this trend is it stopped last week during this current swing upward. Once again it comes down to the same question I had asked up above.
What is their end game?
They are either diluting what stock they can while keeping the price stable and eventually F**king its shareholders.
OR and a big OR they are match buying the stock on the intentions of building expanding and don't want to have to pay the uptick in price in the future. There is something to be said about keeping their vantage name.
Vantage seems pretty hush/hush which leaves investors to speculate. I'm personally going to hold off on this and watch extremely closely. If crude hits 60 and this isn't a shell I except to see some moves made. If this company is the real deal and doesn't plan on F**king over it's shareholders I honestly don't see it hitting a dollar or even 25 cents in the next 6 months anyway. They don't have many positive advances being made right now and looks if they are the real deal will start to grow in 2018 not anytime soon.
PR covering this stock or a highly unlikely announcement of contracts in the next few months would swing it upward but just don't see that happening. Best of luck to anyone that has it and I hope you don't have a large percentage of your portfolio on it. Don't want to hear that someone lost there house or life savings on this thing.
ARNC
This is the hottest and best stock on your list. Arnc split from Alcoa/AA. Since the split big money has gotten behind this company and always a sign this company will do good. It is up 33 percent since split and tremendous room for growth with a market cap of 8.8 Billion. They have great free cash flow and are making moves. This is the best buy and hold stock on your list. If you can afford to sit on your money for a little while. This is the safest play with a ton of upside. Even on a short term play I'd say this one is a go just set target prices.
For all you sports betters an analogy that might make sense. This stock is like laying a futures bet on the patriots with conditions.
If Pats make playoffs you make a little money
If Pats wins the conference you win big 00
If the Pats win the Superbowl you win huge
There's a slim chance no playoffs for the Pats like same for arnc a slim chance of this company losing much if at all.
There's a good chance the Pats win their conference and a good chance Arnc is a leading performer in it's sector and shareholders do real good
There's a pretty good chance they win the bowl and I'd guess the same chance's this company kills it and it's shareholders ride the wave.
ETE-
With a market cap of 18.6 billion and a P/E of 17.78 and volume of over 6 million shares a day this is your next safest play for long term hold in my eyes. From march through September this stock was being pumped with insider money. I has a 1.14 6.4 percent dividend. I Don't expect to see any real value anytime soon though but I could be wrong. If you can buy and hold for at least 18 to 24 months this is a good safe buy if not and your looking for short term gains there are a lot of better stocks on the market.
BKEP-
Don't like it at all. Don't see much growth for the next year and there financials are horrible. It's in the right sector if crude spikes, and should be reevaluated 6 months to a year from now. Right now I'm staying far away from this thing to much risk for no apparent reward
Sports bettors this is like a future bet as of today
on panthers to win the Superbowl this year.
It's still possible mathematical but extremely unlikely due to so many things needing to happen exactly to a T.
SDLR-
This stock is killing it in the public's eye. If crude hits 65 a barrel next year this will be a top preforming stock. There is a lot of big money betting on this stock. I looks to be included in a lot of HF's and good ones which is always a good sign. This stock could explode if crude does. Sea drill is making a ton of moves right now building, growing, and speculating the price of crude to jump. This is a tossup weather it hit a ceiling at 3.50 or will stay hot and continue its upward trend. If I owned it and got in earlier I'd hold but I didn't so for now Ill watch for the next week or two and reevaluate.
PKD-
Parker Drilling's YTD return is 51 percent and a market cap of 350 Million this has room for growth in the future. They have a good balance sheet and numbers look pretty good. This is another one needing the price of crude to rise and when it does Parker Drilling should follow suit. I like it but this is another I will hold off and watch closely
PES-
This stock has almost no insider ownership. Hedge/Mutal funds own this stock. It just had a massive selloff of 10.5 million in common share stocks held strong and even gained momentum hovering around 6 dollars. This is good news for share holders. I could say I think it hit its ceiling but I honestly have no clue. I will watch closely and dig a little more to see what I find but looks promising. I just don't have a lean on it one way or another at 6 dollars in the current market as of right now.
