Wild day today on Wall Street. The DOW and oil started off bad and got worse. However, the DOW recovered big in the final hour, and closed up 258 points (it had been down as much as 600). So in the end it did have a little follow through from yesterday. Unfortunately, oil did not recover the same way, and ended down 1.8%. All of the oil stocks I follow also ended down, but did pare their losses quite a bit.
ESV was yesterday's best performer on the upswing, today it was the worst performer. See comparison below:
ESV: Yesterday +14.37%, Today -4.81%
NE: Yesterday +13.92%, Today -1.48%
RIG: Yesterday +10.09%, Today -3.87%
DO: Yesterday +6.14%, Today -.93%
So over two days, NE was the best performer by a decent amount.
ESV closed down .18 to $3.56 on the day.
