Well, after today’s close on heavy volume concluding to the upside after trading down below $43, I am calling USO as a favorable odds buy. What I like about the last 3 days activity are the two heavy volume days that both closed towards the upper ends of their ranges. If you bought at $44.15 (or the closing price), and placed a stop at $43.65, you have a downward range of $.50 or just over 1%. On the upside, the stock may very well gap tomorrow (see my nice blue scribble of a bar) and could move up to $46ish. With a move to $46.15 you are getting 4 to 1 on your money, with only 1% risk. Outlook would be a day or two, and is simply a quick trade catching a rebound. Note also that the 10 day moving average is at about $46.
