Opinion on  Whiting Petroleum Corp. (WLL)     Sector: Energy  >  Industry: Oil & Gas Operations
Will get going as oil get higher

Aug 31, 2008 04:13 PM GMT

Just the simple analysis here. It gained roughly 65% this year and with lower volatility than the average volatility of the energy stocks that gained as much.  The stock gained strength in the last two weeks and it looks ready to just rocket if oil show some up days.  Whiting Petroleum and oil are moving in a correlated manner and oil is expected to gain strength in the next weeks for the reason that it has been oversold in the last two months and that the general energy outlook hasn't change much.  If you think energy prices will rise, WLL is a high performing pick that will not bring all the volatility that another high performing energy stock would bring.
