Leading Off…This Oil Stock is on the March

I want to expand upon the oil theme I’ve been talking about for awhile.  Whether you’ve followed me on the USO trade, want more energy exposure or simply missed the move until now; Diamondback Energy (FANG) might be for you.

 In full disclosure we’re in FANG here at the shop. We’ve been in since around the $70 level.  The question to ask is why?  FANG currently sports all the attributes of a leading stock.  It’s in the upper 2% of the market.  It’s so strong fundamentally and technically on an apples to apples comparison FANG is beating 98% of all stocks traded (I don’t count or care to count OTC) for it’s fundamental and technical prowess.

 FANG is also in the top20 industry sub-groups and trades over a million shares a day on average – all important factors for me.

On top of FANG’s rising 1.2 up/down volume (which I like – I want 1.0 or greater) the stock also sports an accelerating relative strength line.  Add up all of the above factors and add in the accelerating growth and FANG is downright sexy.

Have you missed the move?  No.    FANG is about 2% above a $76.80ish buy-pt.
