On CAPS, 96.3% of the 673 members who have rated SandRidge believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include handbelleditor and toddleem.

Just last month, handbelleditor tapped SandRidge's "jockey" as a great reason to make this natural gas bet:

This is a well run company ... Tom Ward knows the natural gas business. [Natural gas] is at an all time low and will not remain this low. I expect [natural gas] and SandRidge to appreciate in the next few months.

In an earlier pitch, toddleem agrees with that bullish line of thinking, in this excerpt:

With its low all in finding costs and repaired balance sheet (and some asset sales), [SandRidge] is a good way to play an eventual recovery. Up until its recent refinancing, the stock was uninvestable due to the debt-now, with high but manageable levels of debt, this stock is attractive. ... So with a repaired balance sheet and low finding costs, [SandRidge] survives if gas doesn't come back. It flourishes if it does.
