It isn’t even panic anymore. Investors are resigned to the idea that the whole ball of wax will go up in flames. Double digit losses in the basic resource space, across the board. As a group, oil stocks fell more than 6% today–as WTI and Brent fell 6% for the session–an amazing achievement onto itself.
More important than the equity picture is the state of the oil and gas credit markets. Companies like CHK and UPL are done, toast. However, there are other names that are starting to look like–they too–might soon succumb to the pressures of the market. Here are some oil and gas stocks to keep your eyes on, as the “next shoes to drop”, so to say.
