Technical indicators for RIG are bullish and steady, while S&P gives the stock a positive 4 STARS (out of 5) buy rating.

RIG hasn’t been below $110 by more than a few cents since September and has shown support around $115 recently. This trade could be risky if the price of oil drops off, but even if that happens, this stock could be protected by strong support RIG found around $110 over the past 3 months.
