Apache Corp. (APA) -- This exploration, development and production of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids company has been a darling of the energy analysts.
On Oct. 3, with APA at $89.44, the Trade of the Day said, "Early this year, APA broke from a channel consolidation at $70 and made a run to an all-time high above $92. Stocks that make a break through $90 usually make it to $100 and APA looks like a good bet to do just that."
Apache not only made it to $100 but exceeded $120. APA is now in a correction following that run and, yesterday, it bounced from its 50-day moving average. The stock is in a bull market that will more than likely take it to new highs. But before it does, look for more corrections with ultimate support at the 200-day moving average now at around $95.

'Irrational exuberance' has hit the energy markets. Be cautious about new positions in the sector.
Tuesday could have provided a pivot point as the SPX, the NASD and the DJI gave important signals.
Now under its 50-day moving average and its stochastic indicator undervalued, ENB looks like it could jump.
All eyes should be on the VIX and VXN for the buy signal (if one is to come).
AUY could break higher, but you should limit risk with a stop-loss.
