Whilst the main market saw the first significant weakness in over a month, Transocean (RIG) jumped after earnings greatly exceeded market expectations. RIG closed with very significant gains of 7% @ $52.45 - with an intraday peak of $52.95.. Near term outlook looks very bullish.
RIG, daily
Summary
I am extremely impressed with Q3 earnings, and RIG looks set for a good 2014.
see yahoo finance news for RIG earnings.

The underlying balance sheet looks reasonable...
see key stats @ yahoo finance
From a pure chart/price perspective, the jump above $50 was indeed the catalyst for a snap/break reaction, and we're now clearly in the early phase of a very significant move higher.
Targets for 2014..$75..and then $85.
*if the main market sees general gains into late 2015 (as I currently believe)..then RIG is probably a $125/150 stock by that time.
The option calls - $80 strike, Jan'2016..look extremely attractive.

RIG looks in good shape for 2014..and indeed...much further out.
