MRO Stock Retraces to Support

By Johns Wu on Dec 12, 2006

If you are looking for a potential 30% gainer, then consider
MRO. Marathon Oil has formed a beautiful cup with handle on
the weekly chart. Monday, Dec 11, it almost fully retested
the lip of the cup when it dropped down to $92.92. (The
official lip of the cup is at $92.24). There are two ways
to play MRO at this time:
1. Buy the retest of $92.24 on Wednesday, and target $123.
2. Wait for the strong volume breakout above the recent highs
at $96.07.

Instead of a stop I would suggest using a call option
if the need arises. In any case the oil sector looks like
it will move much higher in 2007.

Marathon Oil has been doing well for a while now. Alot of action in the charts dropping off and then coming back with what they lost and more. A potential 30 dollar or so increase in the next couple days in the market could be good for stalk holders. BUY UP NOW!!

Yes, MRO could do down, too. An easy way to protect yourself is to
sell a call. For example, MRO is currently $95. One could sell the
APR $95 call for $7.20, about a 8% return in four months if MRO is
above $95 in April, or $7.20 worth of protection if MRO is not above
$95 in April.
