This is a stock pickers market US indexes can't keep up with the better choices since the election. For example, capped Cdn energy sector ytd has done more then triple what the QQQ did, junior and mid caps even better. Best kept secret I guess. Even better since Oct 30, 2020. Some examples from Oct 30 til now, a time period when QQQ went up 33% : mid caps : BTE 0.40 -> 2.45 +412%, MEG 2.43 -> 9 +270%, BIR 1.90 -> 5.31 +189% juniors : ATH 0.12 -> 0.98 +717%, CR 0.42 -> 2.24 +433% Now of course such huge gains aren't possible now but enlarged gains still likely in some of these firms because they are well under their values the last time an Oil bull occurred. I mentioned many of these companies around election time so this isn't hindsight analysis it was based on fundamental research and some really good earnings reports. Oil over $70 just added more fuel but most were dirt cheap even at $50 Oil.
%% I like[m] MIDU better than MEG; meg could easy go to the moon or zero............................................................ BTE?? Good move but i dont do penny stock/i like my capital more than that.Tim Sykes did Very well with those penny stocks in college, but later on with his hedge fund, not so much. His book on American Hedge Fund is a [m] MUST. read + reread..................... -Murray TT
Not everyone understands how to play value stocks and commodity bulls. MEG isn't a recommended buy now I like a few of the other ones more but I wanted to illustrate the appreciation. At $2.50 it was ridiculously cheap and a known takeover target. Even at $9 if WTI stays above $60 it may be a takeover target. BTE was a recovery play used to be a $40-$50 stock. What occurs with some of these marginal players is at $40-- WTI their debt issues can be a problem. At $60+++ WTI they make a lot of money and at this point BTE no longer has debt issues. Of course there was some risks last year but by October that risk was lessened and many of the meme and IT stocks traders love are actually riskier plays. Markets are by nature inefficient at times and sector sell offs can easily exceed reasonable levels ( just like IT bulls can easily exceed reasonable levels ). At the very least, these deep value plays are a great hedge and diversification technique. In this case, it was a huge money maker.
That's a terrible idea. Trust me. Never catch a falling sword on a morning like this. I'd close it asap if I were you.
$187 would be better, and that's where its heading today. You can short that thing right now at $199.75. Money in the bank. Watch.
