Watchlist Week of Feb 7th, 2022


Weatherford International plc

First up is Weatherford International plc (WFRD), a $2.3 billion oilfield services company operating out of Houston, Texas.

This company provides the equipment and services that oil exploration and production companies need for their drilling and other operations.

Here’s how the chart is setting up…

And here’s how the stock is setting up with my Stock Surge Indicator (SSI):

  • Surge score: 99/100
  • % Above 52-wk low: 160%
  • Sales growth: +17%
  • Triple momentum: yes

The setup in WFRD is almost identical to last week’s chart of Continental Resources, Inc.

It is forming a textbook cup and handle pattern and showing tremendous strength in an otherwise weak market.

Notice how the relative strength line has turned up and made a new high.

If price tightens up for a few more days, the setup will look even stronger.

SilverBow Resources, Inc.

SilverBow Resources, Inc. (SBOW) is one of those oil exploration and production companies I just alluded to above.

This $400 million company is also based in Houston, and it focuses on acquiring and developing its land assets in the Eagle Ford shale region of South Texas.

Here’s how the chart is setting up…

And here’s how the stock is setting up with my SSI:

  • Surge score: 99/100
  • % Above 52-wk low: 331%
  • Sales growth: +117%
  • Triple momentum: yes

SBOW is setting up for a “cheat entry” near the middle of its cup formation.

Unfortunately, the low of the shakeout move in January is too far away to use for a stop.

Therefore, I suggest using an arbitrary stop loss of somewhere around 6%-8%.

Look for a move above $25.55 as the entry trigger.

Preferred Bank

Preferred Bank (PFBC) is a $1.2 billion independent commercial bank operating out of Los Angeles, California.

Its operations are primarily focused on providing banking services to small and mid-sized businesses as well as other entrepreneurs, real estate developers and high net worth individuals.

Here’s how the chart is setting up:

And here’s how the stock is setting up with my SSI:

  • Surge score: 96/100
  • % Above 52-wk low: 63%
  • Sales growth: +3%
  • Triple momentum: yes

I don’t often trade these small local bank stocks, but there is a proliferation of setups across this sector.

When I sort my stock scans by relative strength, the list is almost exclusively energy and bank stocks. So, I’ve decided to give this one a try.

PFBC kept its selloff contained to just 7% while most of the market was melting down last month.

Shares also bounced back quickly to their highs, which is a good sign of strength underlying accumulation.

The setup is pretty straightforward… Buy a new high, and place a stop beneath the swing low.

Before I go, you’d like a step-by-step walkthrough on how to best take advantage of trades like these…
