$AR #Registers #TwentyFold #Volume
http://www.bottarelliresearch.com/free/2017/12/06/ar-registers-twentyfold-volume Antero Resources (AR – NYSE) by Bottarelli Research Wed, Dec 06, 17
Detecting the most unusual trade wasn’t difficult today. Have you ever heard of Antero Resources AR – NYSE? Neither had we, not until someone bought 5,000 AR February 20 calls for $0.55 each.
http://images.bottarelliresearch.com/free/20171206-ar-registers-twentyfold-volume/ARdec6.png
Costing $275,000, AR needs to increase 12.6% to the break-even price of $20.55 for this trade to pay off by expiration. Only 265 call options are traded in AR each day on average, so this single order accounts for nearly twenty times the typical volume.
As seen on the chart, AR has been in a prolonged downtrend, perhaps carving out a base near $18. If this support holds, watch for a run to $21.

UPDATE: Analysts expect these energy stocks to rise the most in 2018 as oil rebounds

Wall Street sees gains of 35% to 137% for 15 companies
Oil has failed to stage a sustained rally so many times, you couldn’t blame an investor from avoiding the industry altogether.
But this time might be different.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil rose 21% to $57.62 a barrel as of Dec. 5 from Aug. 21. On Dec. 4, Goldman Sachs increased its 2018 price forecast (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-why-goldman-just-lifted-its-oil-price-forecast-for-2018-2017-12-05) for WTI to $62 from $55.
A year ago, many energy-industry analysts and market gurus expected 2017 to be a year of massive gains for energy stocks amid an oil recovery. It didn’t turn out that way, as the price stalled in March and then again in May and June:
The four-year chart gives a broad perspective:
This chart shows oil price changes and the total return for the S&P 1500 energy sector over the past 12 months:
On Aug. 22, Phil Flynn, a senior market analyst at Price Futures Group, said in his daily energy report that “the market should be expecting a big drop in crude-oil supply” because of OPEC’s production cuts and “signs that U.S. oil output from shale may be peaking.”
A report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday showed a surprising increase in gasoline prices, along with an expected decline in U.S. oil supplies (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/oil-falls-on-rising-us-gas-supplies-2017-12-06-71032943). After expressing doubt that U.S. gasoline supplies jumped during the Thanksgiving holiday break, Flynn said on Wednesday that “it is very disturbing that week after week we have to continue to question the accuracy of these weekly figures.”
So we may once again be in for some volatility, and can expect the EIA to release revised figures.

Before showing you which energy stocks are most favored by analysts for 2018, here’s how shares of the 10 largest energy companies, ranked by market capitalization, have performed this year:

Analysts’ favorite energy stocks
To put together a list of the 10 energy stocks most favored by analysts for 2018, we began with the energy sector of the S&P 1500 Composite Index, which is made up of the large-cap S&P 500 , the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index and the S&P Small-Cap 600 index . That’s 85 companies, to which we added all 87 U.S. and Canadian energy master limited partnerships (MLPs), which are not included in the S&P indices.
Of the combined 172 companies, 74 have majority “buy” ratings and are covered by at least five analysts.
