Pete, there are times to use charts and there are times not to. This is the time not to IMO. First RIG has been stuck between 25- 27 for a while and the other factors such as oil price, sentiment, OPEC, etc. are still not favorable. If RIG moves down and tests $23, it is because of net sellers. I would not expect much of a technical rebound from these support levels if the other factors continue to be negative. I rate it 50:50 here for short term trading, definitely not for long term hold. It helps to keep the big picture in perspective by pulling out a one year chart. 12 months ago, people were investing in RIG with the same reasons as today. Guess what happened?
