On CAPS, 96% of the 1,553 members who have rated SandRidge believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this week, one of those bulls, AygHead, tapped hedge fund TPG-Axon's recent stake in SandRidge as a particularly potent catalyst:
Excellent oil assets with poor management. Hedge fund activist will shake things up. Probably a takeover candidate at a $8 to $9 price point, which is a win for everyone.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its four-star rating, SandRidge may not be your top choice.
