Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO) -- This worldwide offshore oil and gas drilling contractor has formed a massive bottom known as a cup-and-handle -- a very bullish formation -- coupled with a gold cross (also bullish), and these make this chart look like a winner.
But, in order for DO to make the final breakout, it must follow through on the penetration of the triple-top at $94.50.
The current round of profit-taking gives us an excellent opportunity to buy DO, because the rebound should take it to at least $110.
DO pays a dividend of $8 per share, giving it a dividend yield of 8.59%.
