Short Term - bullish Long Term - rather berrish
Weatherford didn't meet their expected earnings per share, but this could be due to less business in the Middle East as well as with sanctions put on the industry in countries like Venezuela. While they didn't meet their expected earnings per share, they outpaced most of the energy sector and for the first time in years they had a free cash flow. This is a good...
Watching this for educational purposes only.
$USDWTI rebound likely to continue (shale profitable > $45), $WFT oversold conditions developing large gap similar to last year (followed by immediate upward correction); new CEO is a positive, potential upcoming divestments. Technicals and fundamentals seem to align for a pop on this within the next week or two, followed by possible uptrend into earnings and...
First of all there is a strong support level at $5, please look at the light blue lines. If this support fails the next heavy support is at $4.5 because the pattern at this second support for these few months from 11/2016 to now is EXTREMELY similar to that of 5/2013 to 1/2014.(see the upward channel then two bumps downward then a major upward trend, yes lets...
I've been watching this one for a while. Looks to have formed a double bottom. Looking for a strong pull back in to the neckline. May not trigger since it recently had a gap and go.
Good location for a gap today. Even though it's not really a retest gap, we should get a pullback. good bullish trend. Ultimate target will be 6.31
My previous post about WFT may be wrong, so heres a better one
After having gone through my usual routine of screening for high implied volatility rank/high implied volatility underlyings for plays this coming week, one thing stands out: the implied volatility is in petro, with stocks like CHK, SDRL, WFT, PBR and the like rounding out my top 10 IV list.* With OPEC talks approaching here, and "friskiness" in petro-based...
I'm looking at engaging a little bit of buying power here while I wait for volatility in the broader market to pick up without taking on a huge bunch of risk ... . Bought 100 Shares WFT @ 5.78 Sold June 6 Put Total Package: $518 I'll put in a GTC order to cover for $6.00, since that is what I would receive if called away at expiry, realizing an $82 profit/100...
This is part of a small WFT covered call I'm working ... . The strategy here is to continue to reduce cost basis in the underlying shares. Here I'm doing it with a July 15th 4/6 short strangle in an attempt to sell premium while the implied volatility is still high ... .

With covered calls, I look for cheap underlyings with high implied volatility rank/high implied volatility and setups that will produce at least a 10% return if called away at the short call strike. WFT fits the bill, with a rank of 72, an implied of 84, and a 13.06% return if called away at the nearest out of the money strike. Here's the setup: Buy 100 shares...
Potential Inverted Head and Shoulders. Longer term bullish swing.
