Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (HLX)

[jugs]

Just added 200 shares of HLX. Now at 400 shares with a cost basis of $4.73. Am underwater a few bucks.

The trader part of me is drooling over the spread of today's action. It tells me there's money to be made by swing trading but I'll need more shares to make it worth my while. So I'm adding.

MDR is another company in the same sort of space and, at just under $4, presents a cheaper opportunity for some investors. I would think this enters into the volume side of HLX's trading, at least for the moment. As MDR continues its upside bent and the price difference dissolves, I think we'll see Helix move more strongly and lastingly to the upside.
