Oil Drillers Showing Relative Strength
Over the past few days crude oil has been moving lower while the osx has been moving higher. That alone gets my attention for a potential trade on the long side.
Notice how crude oil (USO) has made new lows for the month but the OSX index is making a higher low. I consider that a bullish divergence which alerts me to the possibility of a buying opportunity. I haven't done anything yet but I will watch these stocks over the next few days as potential longs.
I'm hesitant to buy stocks right now since my view on the overall market is still bearish, however I can't let my own subjective evaluation of the market blind me to what I'm seeing take place. If I get a buy signal in oil stocks, I have to take it.
Some of the strong oil drillers I will be watching are: SLB, SII, CAM,ESV,WFT and TDW.... TSO and VLO (not drillers) I'm watching as well.

I agree...IBN looks like it's about to fall out of bed.
