With energy prices continuing to slide (WTIC Oil $45s), the oil/gas drillers were naturally on the slide. Transocean (RIG), and Seadrill (SDRL) broke new multi-year lows, settling -3.6% and -4.4% respectively. Outlook is bearish into the early summer... at which point OPEC might finally start to address supply issues.
RIG, monthly
SDRL, monthly
Summary
*ignoring the smaller daily/weekly cycles... the giant monthly charts really display the horror show that has happened to many energy stocks since WTIC Oil peaked in June @ $107.
--
I have high confidence in both RIG and SDRL, but clearly, until Oil has floored, ALL energy stocks will be vulnerable into the spring.

*I will be looking to pick up both in the coming late spring/early summer... and seeking to hold on a 2-3 perspective.
