Company Description

Why We Like It:
CLR is a domestic oil producer. The stock could see a short squeeze. The most recent data listed short interest at 19% of the small 40.9 million-share float. Currently the stock is bouncing after a -12% correction from its intraday high near $97. Traders bought the dip near $85 and its rising 30-dma.

I am suggesting we open bullish positions if CLR trades at $90.25 or higher. We will set our exit target at $99.00 since the trend of higher highs should lead CLR toward the $100 area.

FYI: The Point & Figure chart for CLR is bullish with a long-term $140 target.

Trigger @ $90.25
